Samsung’s new wide foldable is getting the same camera upgrade as Galaxy Z Fold 8

-

New Delhi: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide is rumoured to get the same smaller cover-screen selfie camera cutout as the standard Fold 8, shrinking from 3.7mm to just 2.5mm. That should make the outer display look cleaner and more immersive.

Last week, it was reported that the Galaxy Z Fold 8 is getting a smaller selfie camera hole. Well, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide could get the same upgrade, it would seem.

This information comes from the same source that shared the Galaxy Z Fold 8 details, Ice Universe. He said, via Weibo, that the so-called Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide will join the Galaxy Z Fold 8 when it comes to shrinking its “front view camera”. As in the earlier report, this appears to refer to the camera hole on the cover display.

It is not clear whether the same change will apply to the main display.

The camera hole on the front is expected to shrink from 3.7mm to 2.5mm in diameter, a difference that should be easily noticeable. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 has a 3.7mm diameter camera cutout.

The designs of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide are no longer a secret, with renders of both devices having surfaced earlier. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide name is said to be a placeholder.

The device is expected to be a wider variant of the Galaxy Z Fold 8. It is tipped to be shorter and wider when folded and unfolded, with a noticeably wider display aspect ratio. This should make it better suited for watching videos when unfolded and for side-by-side multitasking.

The smartphone is expected to arrive alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 8 in July, during Samsung’s second Unpacked event of the year. The Galaxy Z Flip 8 is also expected to be launched at the same event. Android Headlines

Samsung says One UI 8.5 rollout date remains unconfirmed

Samsung has said it never formally announced April 30 as the rollout date for One UI 8.5, after widespread rumors led users to expect the stable update to arrive that day. The clarification came from a moderator on Samsung’s US community forum. The moderator said the April 30 timeline was based on community speculation and past rollout patterns, not an official announcement from the company. Samsung said the One UI 8.5 rollout is still being finalized and no release date has been confirmed. The company said it prioritizes testing results before committing to an update schedule, with final approval resting with its lab engineers. The extended beta testing period has made the software nearly stable, according to the company, but Samsung said engineers must complete their evaluations before clearing the update for public release. Regional factors also appear to have influenced the rollout. South Korea observed Labor Day on May 1, and a rollout on April 30 could have left Samsung with limi...

A nthropic announced on Friday that it’s launching Claude Design, a new experimental product that lets users create visuals like prototypes, slides, one-pagers, and more using Claude. The company says Claude Design is intended to help people like founders and product managers without a design background share their ideas more easily. With Claude Design, users describe what they want, and Claude will create an initial version. From there, users can refine the visuals with direct edits or requests. For example, you could ask Claude to “prototype a serene mobile meditation app. It should have calming typography, subtle nature-inspired colors, and a clean layout.” You could then tweak the colors, the size of the typography, or ask Claude to add a dark mode toggle. While Claude Design may initially seem like it’s looking to compete with popular design app Canva, which has just expanded its own AI capabilities, Anthropic said that it’s intended to complement it rather than replace it.
