Samsung Confirms Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra Branding in WPC Case Listings Ahead of July 22 Launch

3 articles · Updated · 9to5Google · Jun 29

Summary

  • WPC case listings from Yuchuan show Samsung accessories for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, effectively confirming the long-rumored naming.
  • That branding pairs the wider new foldable with the standard Fold 8 name, while the more familiar Fold 7-style design appears set to be sold as the Fold 8 Ultra.
  • The listings also carry a Qi2 Ready mark, one of the few notable hardware clues in otherwise routine case entries.
  • Less than a month before Samsung’s expected July 22 unveiling, the database entries may disappear soon; such WPC certified-product listings often remain visible only for a week or two.
