The topic Samsung reportedly launching Galaxy Z Fold 8, \u2018Wide\u2019 on July 22, S Pen might be back<\/strong> is currently the subject of lively discussion \u2014 readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.<\/p>\n

This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies\u2019 decisions and competitors\u2019 reactions can quickly change the picture.<\/p>\n

A new report claims to reveal the launch date for Samsung\u2019s Galaxy Z Fold 8 and \u201cWide\u201d foldable in July, while also claiming that the S Pen might be returning to the series.<\/p>\n

Korea Economic Times reports that Samsung is planning to host its next Unpacked event in London, England, on July 22. The event would see the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Samsung\u2019s rumored \u201cWide\u201d foldable, too.<\/p>\n

The move to London continues in Samsung\u2019s trend of bringing its foldable launches to locations around the globe. Fold\/Flip 5 were announced in Korea, while Fold\/Flip 6 debuted in Paris, France before the Fold\/Flip 7 moved back to New York City. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 launch date being in late July is perfectly in line with Samsung\u2019s past few foldable launches.<\/p>\n

The report doesn\u2019t mention Galaxy Z Flip 8, but it\u2019d be strange if that device wasn\u2019t announced at the same event. Samsung often launches new Galaxy Watch models at this same event, so Galaxy Watch 9 could be on the docket as well.<\/p>\n

What is mentioned is the S Pen which, apparently, Samsung will be reviving for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and\/or \u201cWide\u201d foldable.<\/p>\n

We\u2019d not heard much about a potential S Pen return, but the report claims that \u201cSamsung plans to sequentially introduce the S Pen after unveiling the Wide Fold.\u201d It\u2019s a bit hard to tell exactly what the timeline is here, but it\u2019s a welcome return nonetheless if only because the stylus was missed on last year\u2019s Galaxy Z Fold 7. At the time, Samsung said support was removed in pursuit of making the foldable thinner, but there were rumblings around a switch in stylus tech to bring back S Pen support in future models, something Samsung itself recently hinted at. The report suggests that Apple\u2019s entrance into the foldable space, expected in September, pushed Samsung to bring back the feature. Other competing Android foldables have also been doubling down on stylus support.<\/p>\n
