Samsung’s foldable, likely called the Galaxy Z Fold8, surfaced in X leaks from tipster Ice Universe. The phone allegedly weighs 201 grams, under the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s 214 grams and lighter than Huawei’s 229‑gram Pura X Max. Samsung previously noted a similar gap between the Galaxy 25 Ultra (218 g) and Z Fold7 (215 g), indicating a weight‑reduction push.

Beyond weight, the Fold8 is said to unfold to a mere 4.5 mm thickness, beating Huawei’s 5.2 mm Pura X Max but staying slightly bulkier than last year’s Z Fold7 at 4.2 mm. Inside, a 7.6‑inch 4:3 inner display promises a minimal crease, while a 4,800 mAh battery supports 45W wired charging, matching flagship endurance expectations.

The leaks also reveal a 50MP primary sensor with native 24MP mode, aligning with Samsung’s emphasis on high‑resolution imaging. By shedding grams and thinning the chassis, the Z Fold8 narrows the ergonomic gap between foldables and conventional flagships, offering consumers a lighter, more pocket‑friendly device without compromising performance.
