Now, Android Headlines, in collaboration with OnLeaks, has just published one of the first CAD renders<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

As per the CAD renders, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide is expected to sport the following dimensions:<\/p>\n

Unfolded: 123.9 x 161.4 x 4.9mm<\/p>\n

Folded: 123.9 x 82.2 x 9.8mm<\/p>\n

For comparison, here are the expected dimensions of the Galaxy Z Fold 8<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Folded: 158.4 x 72.8 x 9mm<\/p>\n

Unfolded: 158.4 x 143.2 x 4.5mm<\/p>\n

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.<\/a><\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

Finally, as is expected to be the case with the vanilla Fold 8, the ‘Wide’ version will sport a noticeably reduced internal display crease.<\/p>\n
