6 articles · Updated · Tom's Guide · May 25
July 22 is the rumored date for Samsung’s next Galaxy Unpacked, where the Galaxy Z Flip 8 is expected to debut, with sales likely starting around August 5.
6.9-inch and 4.1-inch 120Hz displays, an Exynos 2600 chip, 12GB RAM and a 4,300 mAh battery are among the rumored specs, but most details suggest only modest year-over-year changes.
50MP main, 12MP ultrawide and 10MP selfie cameras are also expected to remain largely unchanged, while charging may stay at 25W wired and 15W wireless.
Pricing is still unclear, though the phone is widely expected to start near the Z Flip 7’s $1,099 unless Samsung extends recent price hikes to its foldable line.
The muted rumor cycle has fueled speculation that Samsung’s flip series may be stagnating, with some reports even suggesting the Z Flip 8 could be the last model before any Z Flip 9 is shelved.
As hardware stagnates and costs soar, can Galaxy AI alone justify the Z Flip 8's price and secure the series' future?
With Motorola rising and Apple's Fold looming, is the Galaxy Z Flip 8 Samsung's strategic retreat from the clamshell market?
