The certification documents themselves do not reveal technical specifications \u2014 but combined with earlier leaks, they provide a clear picture of what Samsung is preparing for July.<\/p>\n
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Wide: What Is Known About the Specifications<\/h2>\n
![\"Fold8](\"https:\/\/techvisor.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/harakterystyky-fold8-wide.webp\" "\\"\\"")
<\/p>\n
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Wide is a fundamentally new form factor for the lineup. While the standard Z Fold8 Ultra (the successor to the Z Fold7) keeps the familiar vertical book-style design, the Wide offers a different approach: a wide internal screen with a 4:3 aspect ratio, close to the iPad mini format. Here is what leaks and regulatory documents say about each key parameter.<\/p>\n
Display and Dimensions<\/h3>\n
According to leaks and CAD renders, the Galaxy Z Fold8 Wide will have:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Internal display:<\/strong> 7.6 inches, 4:3 aspect ratio<\/li>\n
- Dimensions when unfolded:<\/strong> 123.9 \u00d7 161.4 \u00d7 4.9 mm<\/li>\n
- Dimensions when folded:<\/strong> 123.9 \u00d7 82.2 \u00d7 9.8 mm<\/li>\n
- Weight:<\/strong> around 200 g<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The 4:3 format is the key difference. When unfolded, the Wide looks like a tablet in landscape orientation, which is ideal for working with documents, spreadsheets, video content and multitasking. This is exactly how Apple positions the iPad mini \u2014 and this is precisely the audience Samsung is targeting with the Wide.<\/p>\n
Processor and Memory<\/h3>\n
Both new foldable models \u2014 Z Fold8 Ultra and Z Fold8 Wide \u2014 will receive Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy<\/strong>: the same chip used in the Galaxy S26 Ultra, with a 19% CPU performance increase, 24% GPU increase and 39% NPU increase compared with the previous generation. Globally, there will be one processor for all markets, with no Exynos version.<\/p>\n
Cameras<\/h3>\n
The Galaxy Z Fold8 Wide camera system, according to current data:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Main camera:<\/strong> 50 MP<\/li>\n
- Ultra-wide camera:<\/strong> 50 MP<\/li>\n
- Front camera (external):<\/strong> no confirmed details<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Two equal 50-megapixel modules are an unusual solution. The standard Z Fold8 Ultra will have a flagship 200 MP main camera, while the Wide makes a compromise for the sake of a more compact body and better weight balance.<\/p>\n
Battery and Charging<\/h3>\n
- \n
- Battery capacity:<\/strong> 4,800 mAh<\/li>\n
- Charging:<\/strong> 45 W wired<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The 4,800 mAh battery is larger than in the Z Fold7 (4,400 mAh), but smaller than the 5,000 mAh unit in the standard Z Fold8 Ultra. Support for 45 W charging will, for the first time, allow a Samsung foldable to charge quickly \u2014 previous generations were limited to 25 W.<\/p>\n
Gemini Intelligence \u2014 Exclusive at Launch<\/h3>\n
As we have already written, Google and Samsung announced that Gemini Intelligence<\/strong> will debut specifically on the new foldable devices \u2014 Galaxy Z Fold8 Wide, Z Fold8 Ultra and Z Flip8 \u2014 before the Galaxy S26 and Pixel 10. This means contextual understanding of the screen, cross-app actions without manual copying and proactive AI suggestions right out of the box.<\/p>\n
Galaxy Watch Ultra 2: What Is Known<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\nGalaxy Watch Ultra 2 is the second device that received BIS certification together with the Fold8 Wide. The first-generation Watch Ultra was released in 2024 and became Samsung\u2019s flagship smartwatch. The 2026 version will receive major hardware upgrades \u2014 primarily a new chip and a larger battery.<\/p>\n
Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 Specifications<\/h3>\n
- \n
- Model number:<\/strong> SM-L715F<\/li>\n
- Battery:<\/strong> 800 mAh (a significant increase)<\/li>\n
- Connectivity:<\/strong> 5G (confirmed)<\/li>\n
- Processor:<\/strong> Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear Elite \u2014 a new chip for wearable devices<\/li>\n
- Software:<\/strong> Wear OS with One UI Watch \u2014 a new interface from Google and Samsung<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Snapdragon Wear Elite is a fundamentally new smartwatch chip from Qualcomm that will replace Snapdragon W5+. It promises a significant increase in performance and efficiency, which is critically important for a device with an 800 mAh battery.<\/p>\n

![\"Galaxy](\"https:\/\/techvisor.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/galaxy-z-fold8-wide-proty-iphone-ultra.webp\" "\\"\\"")
<\/p>\nThe choice of London as the venue for Unpacked is no accident. Samsung is bringing the Wide and Z Fold8 Ultra to market 2 months before Apple\u2019s expected iPhone Ultra (September 2026).
