Pura Max of Huawei is here, but Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide looks to be offering a far better hands-on experience. A new leak featuring screen protectors of the two devices shows the display design and why Samsung is right.

Apple and Samsung are working on new foldable phones with wider screens than the legacy models. Huawei, as always, is a step ahead of the Global titan, which already unveiled its Pura Max with a similar screen ratio.

Tipster IceUniverse leaked an image of the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide phone’s cover screen protector. In a separate post, the leaker shared a side-by-side comparison of the screen protectors of the wide foldables from Huawei and Samsung.

The picture of the cover screen protector previews a potential hands-on experience. The new foldable model from Samsung will be much taller, like the Fold 7, while the extended width makes the cover screen more useful.

Huawei embarked on a familiar path, but the cover screen is smaller. You may find the aspect ratio better, but Samsung is right here. The Wide 8 Fold will deliver a better experience on the cover screen than its Huawei counterpart.

Samsung will unveil the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide alongside the Fold 8 and Flip 8 in July 2026. The new model is joining the lineup before Apple enters the segment. It’s more a pre-emptive answer to Apple than a product debut.
