Samsung's planned response to the Apple iPhone Fold, formally called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide, has just morphed from the ethereal to the material, with new CAD renders showing its squat form factor in unprecedented detail.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide is trying to emulate the passport-like form factor of the Apple iPhone Fold
Now, Android Headlines, in collaboration with OnLeaks, has just published one of the first CAD renders for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide, showing a weirdly squat design. The foldable smartphone is expected to debut this summer alongside the Galaxy Z fold 8.
As per the CAD renders, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide is expected to sport the following dimensions:
- Unfolded: 123.9 x 161.4 x 4.9mm
- Folded: 123.9 x 82.2 x 9.8mm
For comparison, here are the expected dimensions of the Galaxy Z Fold 8:
- Folded: 158.4 x 72.8 x 9mm
- Unfolded: 158.4 x 143.2 x 4.5mm
As is evident from these dimensions, the Z Fold 8 Wide would be noticeably thicker than its taller counterpart, which would be a whopping 34mm taller than its 'Wide' sibling. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide sports a 5.4-inch outer screen and a 7.6-inch internal one.
Interestingly, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide will sport a dual camera setup. As far as its internals are concerned, the foldable will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. It will also sport a 5,000mAh battery, replete with 45W of wired charging.
Finally, as is expected to be the case with the vanilla Fold 8, the 'Wide' version will sport a noticeably reduced internal display crease.
