Samsung drops first official Galaxy Z Fold 8 teasers, ‘New Shape, New Joy’ [Gallery]

With less than a month to go, Samsung is kicking off its train of Galaxy Z Fold 8 teasers with a new series of social posts that also purged nearly the company’s entire Instagram account. This evening, Samsung has deleted nearly its entire Instagram account, @SamsungMobile (and @SamsungMobileUSA ), with just six posts left behind. Those posts spell out the teaser “New Shape, New Joy” referring to the short and stout, wider Galaxy Z Fold 8 form factor. If you didn’t know about the Fold 8’s redesign, these posts would be fairly cryptic, but they all just show Samsung cutting off the top of the Galaxy Z Fold 7’s shape, leaving behind the Fold 8’s new form factor. Earlier today, leaks showed that new form factor right alongside the “Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra” (which confusingly sticks with the old design).
