Samsung Rumored to Split Galaxy Z Fold 8 Into 2 Sizes as S Pen Support Returns

Summary
Two Galaxy Z Fold 8 models are rumored for 2026: a wider standard version and an Ultra that keeps the Z Fold 7’s taller shape.
The Ultra is said to be 2mm thicker than the Z Fold 7, with a slightly larger battery and likely S Pen support after Samsung dropped stylus input on the Fold 7.
The wider Z Fold 8 may trade down to 2 rear cameras and a smaller battery, while both models are expected to use Qualcomm’s latest chips.
A rumored July 22 unveiling would put Samsung into a widening race in book-style foldables, with Huawei already there and Vivo, Honor and Apple also tipped to follow.
Price pressure may blunt the redesigns: the report says rising RAM and storage costs have already pushed Samsung phone prices higher and could hit the Fold 8 line too.
