Samsung is expected to unveil its next-generation foldable smartphones later this month, including the Galaxy Z Flip 8 and Galaxy Z Fold 8. Word has it that the company could also introduce a redesigned version of its book-style foldable with a wider display. Now, Samsung has officially started teasing the Galaxy Z Fold 8 with cryptic posts, which seems to be hinting at the rumoured wide version of the Z Fold 8.
Samsung has shared a couple of posts on its official Samsung Mobile Instagram account. The company has even removed all of its older Instagram posts, leaving only the new teaser posts. Together, these posts spell out the phrase “New Shape. New Joy.”
The teasers do not directly mention the Galaxy Z Fold 8. Instead, they hint at a new design with short messages such as “Cut to what matters,” “Feels just right” and “A whole new slice.” The posts show a wider, shorter design for the upcoming foldable.

The wallpaper features the number “8”, making it the clearest hint yet that the teasers are for the next fold model.
Rumours suggest that the wide version is expected to launch as Galaxy Z Fold 8. Meanwhile, the traditional book-style foldable is said to launch with the ‘Ultra’ branding.
