Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Fold Wide specs leak but what's surprising are the missing features
Leaked specifications for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 and the rumored Galaxy Z Fold Wide reveal some expected upgrades.

Notably, the Z Fold 8 will maintain its camera setup while increasing battery capacity to 5,000 mAh.
- ▪The Galaxy Z Fold 8 will use the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor.
- ▪It is expected to weigh 210 grams and measure 4.1mm when unfolded.
- ▪The main camera will remain at 200MP, while the ultrawide may increase to 50MP.
