The leaked hands-on clip was shared online by tipsters Sonny Dickson on X and it showcases the alleged Galaxy Z Fold Wide dummy in a white colour option.
Although dummy units do not always perfectly represent final retail devices, the model shown in the video appears noticeably slim and compact. It remains unclear whether the dummy is based on official Samsung dimensions or created using leaked schematics from third-party sources.

The video reveals a super-thin foldable smartphone featuring a wider and shorter cover display compared to Samsung’s current foldable models. The rear design includes a dual-camera setup that resembles the camera layout seen on the Galaxy S25 Edge. However, the clip does not show the inner folding display.
Popular tipster Ice Universe also commented on the leaked dummy, calling it a “low-quality” model that should only serve as a “rough reference.”
The dummy unit also appears to confirm a dual rear-camera setup instead of the triple-camera arrangement expected on the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8. An interesting detail seen on the dummy model is the presence of circular rings that may hint at magnetic wireless charging support.
It is still unclear whether Samsung plans to integrate built-in magnets directly into the device or use a MagSafe-style system that depends on compatible accessories or cases. The video also shows other hardware details such as the power button, volume controls and a USB Type-C charging port.
