Samsung Teases "New Shape" for Galaxy Z Fold 8, Ending Seven Years of Consistent Aspect Ratio

Samsung's July 22, 2026 Unpacked event in London — titled "A New Shape Unfolds" — is expected to debut a Galaxy Z Fold 8 with a wider, passport-like form factor. Leaked images from Evan Blass show the device opening to an extended display wider than prior generations. This would be the first aspect-ratio change since the original Galaxy Fold in 2019.
