Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 8 lineup is expected to go official next month, and details about the series continue to leak online. The series could include a Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, which could retain a design similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 7, and the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 that is likely to feature a noticeably wider inner display. A recent leak suggests that the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will be one of the lightest book-style foldable phones available in the market. The leak also offers hints about the sale date of the upcoming foldables.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 to Have a Lightweight Design

Tipster Lanzuk claims in a post on Naver (in Korean) that the Galaxy Z Fold 8 will have a light profile. The tipster, citing people who have reportedly had hands-on experience with the device, claimed that the weight of the phone is "unbelievable." The leaker says the lightweight design could become one of the biggest selling points of the phone.

The leak further states that the "display pixels and crease area are better on the Wide". Samsung is speculated to use thicker ultra-thin glass (UTG) in the foldable.
