First Galaxy Z Fold 8 CAD renders show familiar design, marginally thicker than Z Fold 7

Samsung is expected to unveil the next generation of foldables in July and there have been quite a few leaks about the Fold and the Flip phones. Despite Samsung’s efforts to curb leaks, information seems to be getting around. This time, however, renders based on rumored dimensions have surfaced, giving a first look at what the Galaxy Z Fold 8 might look like. To no one’s surprise, no major changes this year.

The renders come from known leaker OnLeaks via Android Headlines and they show a very familiar design for the Galaxy Z Fold 8. The only notable aspect is that the phone could be slightly thicker than the Galaxy Z Fold 7 (buy on Amazon). As per the report, the upcoming device is said to measure 158.4x143.2x4.5 mm when unfolded and 158.4x72.8x9 mm when folded. With the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Samsung managed to bring the thickness down to 4.2 mm when folded and 8.9 mm when unfolded. The rest of the dimensions seem to be the same, indicating that there will be no change to the screen size.

The rest of the design remains the same as well. There is said to be a center hole punch for the selfie camera and three vertically placed cameras at the back. There have been reports of Samsung using new display technology for the folding screen that will ensure better durability. It is referred to as “dual-layer” Ultra Thin Glass (UTG) with a laser-drilled metal support plate, and Apple is said to be using the same with its first foldable.

Other rumored specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 suggest a 5,000 mAh battery. Since the Galaxy Z TriFold got 45W wired fast charging and the Galaxy S26 Ultra supports 60W, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 will likely get a charging upgrade as well. As for pricing, a report from January suggested a $1,999 price tag for the foldable. There is also a cheaper Galaxy Wide Fold coming alongside the premium model, but pricing for that variant is uncertain.

It should be noted that these are unofficial CAD renders and not the final design.
