Galaxy Z Flip 8 Leaks Show 45W Charging Upgrade as Design Stays Near-Identical to Z Flip 7

3 articles · Updated · The Verge · Jul 16

Summary

  • WinFuture’s leaked images and specs suggest Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 8 will look almost unchanged from the Z Flip 7, a week before the July 22 Galaxy Unpacked launch.
  • The main hardware changes appear limited to a new Exynos 2600 chip and 45W wired charging, rather than a shift to a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor.
  • Display and memory specs reportedly stay the same: a 6.9-inch inner screen, 4.1-inch outer screen, 256GB of storage and 12GB of RAM.
  • Samsung’s earlier Spider-Man: Brand New Day teaser already showed a flip phone matching the leak, reinforcing expectations of only minor visual changes apart from new pale pink, cream and graphite colors.
