Recent reports have clarified the branding for these devices: the successor to the previous Fold7 will be marketed as the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, while the model previously rumored to be the “Fold8 Wide” will be officially known as the Galaxy Z Fold8.
In addition to the smartphones, Samsung is expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch9 and the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2. Official-looking renders have already surfaced, showcasing the family of devices and highlighting size differences between the various models.
