As seen in the leaks, Samsung has officially unveiled a new, more compact version of its book-style foldable. The new Galaxy Z Fold8 is being marketed by the tech giant as its lightest Fold model yet, coming in at 201 grams.

The proportions make it seem like a small datebook. It features a 10:16 outer screen and a 4:3 inner display, making it easier to view 16:9 content, such as shows and videos, and to play games. Turn the unfolded screen sideways, and you get the perfect size for reading, as it gets a similar dimension to e-readers.

A few days before Samsung is set to officially launch its new foldables, one of the new form factors for the Fold series was just teased by BTS member Jung Ho-seok, or J-Hope, in his Instagram Story. It was also spotted by fans during a sound check of the South Korean group's concert in Paris. BTS has frequently collaborated in the past, and his involvement in the campaign has already been teased.

The rumoured Galaxy Z Fold8 appears to have a stouter form factor, which should improve portability and one-handed use. Samsung is also still expected to release a standard-sized Fold, which has been called the Fold8 Ultra in the leaks, alongside the new Flip8. We are a few days away from Unpacked, so we'll get to hear more about these devices, and possibly more, soon.
