Samsung Deletes Most Instagram Posts, Teasing Galaxy Z Fold 8's Wider Design

3 articles · Updated · 9to5Google · Jun 30

Summary

  • Six remaining posts on Samsung’s nearly wiped @SamsungMobile Instagram account spell out “New Shape, New Joy,” signaling a teaser campaign for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 less than a month before launch.
  • The posts point to a shorter, wider Fold 8 design by visually trimming the Galaxy Z Fold 7’s taller silhouette, with one teaser briefly showing an “8” wallpaper and colors rumored for the new device.
  • The campaign follows leaks earlier the same day that showed the redesigned Fold 8 alongside a “Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra,” which reportedly keeps the older form factor.
  • Samsung has not confirmed a launch date, but earlier leaks have pointed to a July 22 unveiling, making the Instagram reset an unusually cryptic start to its Unpacked buildup.
