Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Leak Touts 201-Gram Weight and Minimal Crease Ahead of July 22 Debut

Summary

  • Lanzuk said early Galaxy Z Fold 8 samples feel "unbelievably" light, reinforcing earlier leaks that pointed to a roughly 201-gram device.
  • The wider foldable reportedly feels even lighter than its spec suggests, likely because the broader form factor spreads weight more evenly than the 215-gram Galaxy Z Fold 7.
  • The same hands-on impressions said the crease is smaller than on the Fold 8 Ultra, with thicker ultra-thin glass making the display feel closer to a non-folding bar phone.
  • Samsung is expected to unveil the Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra and Flip 8 next month, with rumors pointing to a July 22 Galaxy Unpacked event in London.
