Ever since Samsung released the first generation of their Galaxy Fold, it’s been one of the most anticipated devices that people look forward to. However, it’s plagued with several issues, and it’s pretty understandable since it’s the company’s initial attempt at the folding screen world. Now, it seems like Samsung addressed these issues with the new Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G. Samsung is planning a massive overhaul for its eighth-generation Fold lineup. Rather than launching a single, iterative device like always, latest supply chain leaks and FCC filings confirm that the tech giant will split the upcoming series into two distinct hardware tiers: the traditional Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and an all-new form factor dubbed the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide. Both devices are expected to officially debut at Samsung’s next Galaxy Unpacked event, which is heavily rumored for July 22, 2026, in London. The luxury flagship variant, now carrying the "Ultra" title, represents Samsung’s push to finally give its premium foldable the absolute best hardware in its portfolio, directly addressing long-standing complaints about camera and battery compromises.
