Boy band BTS' J-Hope teases the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 ahead of launch
Samsung is hosting a Galaxy Unpacked event on July 22 in London, where it's expected to unveil its new folding smartphones, including the Galaxy Z Fold8, the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, and the Galaxy Z Flip8. We already know what these foldables will look like due to previous leaks, but we are now getting our best look yet at a working Fold8 as it's teased by BTS member J-Hope.
South Korean boy band BTS' Jung Ho-seok, known professionally as J-Hope, posted a short Instagram Story on his account teasing the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8. There's nothing new to glean from this Story, but it corroborates previous Fold8 design leaks, as Samsung has partnered with BTS multiple times before.
That said, if you are someone wondering about the form factor of the Galaxy Z Fold8 and haven’t kept up with the rumor mill, we'd like to inform you that the successor to last year's Fold7 will reportedly be called the Fold8 Ultra, whereas the foldable that was rumored to launch as the Fold8 Wide will be called the Fold8 instead.
