Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 Could Become the Last Flip Phone Samsung Ever Makes

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 – A new leak suggests Samsung may be ending its long-running clamshell foldable series with its next Galaxy Z Flip 8. Well-known tipster Ice Universe said the Galaxy Z Flip 8 is probably Samsung’s last “small folding product.” The wording is somewhat ambiguous, and Samsung has not said it will phase out the Galaxy Z Flip family. This could be the last Flip 8 for now so we should take this as an unconfirmed rumour rather than an official decision.

Recent official-looking renders of the Galaxy Z Flip 8 show Samsung sticking with the same clamshell design as the current generation. The leaked shots show a big external display around the rear cameras, along with a number of colour options. However, the new model appears to be less about a completely new design, and more about making refinements, which could be things like internal hardware improvements and smaller tweaks to the overall body.

Rumours have suggested that the Galaxy Z Flip 8 could pack a 6.9-inch main display and a 4.1-inch external screen, both of which could support refresh rates up to 120Hz. Other specs listed include 12GB of RAM, 256GB and 512GB of storage, a 50-megapixel main camera, a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera and a 4,300mAh battery.

Different Processors for Different Markets

Another rumour suggests Samsung could go back to a regional processor strategy for the Galaxy Z Flip 8. Some markets will get a model powered by Samsung’s Exynos 2600, while others, perhaps including the US, will get a Qualcomm Snapdragon powered model. This would help Samsung control production costs and the availability of chips, but the company has not officially said what the ultimate processor configuration will be.
