Samsung’s Upcoming Foldable Lineup: New Leak Confirms Bold Naming Shift
Recent entries in the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) database have sparked fresh excitement regarding Samsung’s foldable strategy, seemingly confirming the existence of three upcoming devices: the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8, and the premium Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. While these listings focus on third-party accessories rather than the handsets themselves, they align with ongoing rumors that Samsung plans to debut two distinct book-style foldables. The industry is particularly intrigued by the naming convention, as reports suggest the company may deviate from standard expectations by assigning the "Ultra" moniker to the more familiar, narrow-design Fold model, while reserving the base Galaxy Z Fold 8 name for a new, wider-screen variant.
This potential shift in branding arrives just ahead of the highly anticipated Galaxy Unpacked event, currently rumored for July 22. Beyond the naming controversy, the WPC certification provides a technical hint by suggesting the inclusion of Qi2 Ready wireless charging support, which would offer users better compatibility with magnetic charging accessories. As we approach the official launch, these details suggest that Samsung is looking to refine both the hardware ergonomics and the overall market positioning of its foldable series to stay ahead in an increasingly competitive landscape.
