Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 could get a weird name change to fight iPhone Fold — and it's a terrible idea

IPhone Fold vs Galaxy Z Fold 8.

If you were planning on picking up a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 later this year, you might want to be doubly sure you're purchasing the correct model. According to a new leak, Samsung may be changing how it names its foldables this year, thanks to the release of what we've been referring to as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Wide.

According to Ice Universe, the wider-screen Galaxy foldable is going to be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8. Meanwhile, what should have been the Galaxy Z Fold 8, and the successor to the Z Fold 7, is allegedly being called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. Not only is that going to be somewhat confusing, but the name change could also have some serious ramifications for both devices (and their price tags).
