Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 8 leaks a week before launch event
Leaked information suggests that the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 will feature minimal design changes compared to its predecessor, the Z Flip 7. The device is expected to utilize an Exynos 2600 processor and offer faster wired charging, with an official announcement scheduled for July 22nd.
Why it matters
The leak provides insight into Samsung's iterative hardware strategy and its continued reliance on internal chipsets for its foldable product line.
Samsung’s next flip phone might be tough to tell apart from last year’s Galaxy Z Flip 7. As 9to5Google points out, leaked images and specs for the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 8 shared by WinFuture are nearly identical to Samsung’s current flip phone.
According to the leak, Samsung is not planning to upgrade the Z Flip 8 to one of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processors. Instead, it will have a Samsung Exynos 2600 chip, the successor to the previous-generation Exynos 2500 in the Z Flip 7. The only other notable upgrade is support for 45W wired charging.
