The music star revealed the Galaxy Z Fold8 before the product launch
(Dan Tri) - J-Hope, a member of the band BTS, accidentally revealed the Galaxy Z Fold8 before Samsung officially launched the product on July 22.
The phone was revealed in a video posted on J-Hope's Instagram page with more than 56.1 million followers, with an unusual design.
The device only has a dual camera cluster on the back, a square body and uses a 4:3 screen ratio, instead of 16:9 or 21:9 like most smartphones today.
The video showing the strange phone was posted by J-Hope on Instagram
Besides, when J-Hope appeared on stage to practice for a performance show, many people once again saw him continue to use this strange phone.
The technology world quickly recognized that the phone in J-Hope's hand was the Galaxy Z Fold8.

Because BTS is the face of Samsung's brand, it is likely that members of this band will enjoy the privilege of using Samsung products in advance even if the device has not been introduced yet.
Galaxy Z Fold8, formerly known as Galaxy Z Fold8 Wide, stands out with a square design, 4:3 screen ratio, making the device more balanced than other folding screen smartphone models currently on the market.
According to experts, the device has a 5.4-inch external screen. When opened, the screen reaches 7.6 inches, equivalent to a small tablet.
Inside is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip optimized specifically for Samsung devices. The device has 12GB or 16GB RAM options, with 256GB, 512GB or 1TB memory.

On the outside, the product is equipped with a dual camera cluster, including the main camera and super wide-angle camera both with 50 megapixel resolution, instead of 3 cameras like the standard version.
Despite its slim design, Galaxy Z Fold8 still has a 5,000mAh battery, supporting 45W fast charging.
In addition to the Galaxy Z Fold8, Samsung will also launch two other folding phone models, the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra and Galaxy Z Flip8, along with a series of new generation smart watches at this event.
