The Galaxy Z Flip 8 is Samsung’s clamshell-style foldable smartphone launching in 2026. It hasn’t been officially announced yet, but many of its features and its possible design have leaked. Compared to the Galaxy Z Flip 7, it could offer faster performance, a lighter design, and, more importantly, a nearly crease-free foldable display.
Here is everything you need to know about the Galaxy Z Flip 8.
Design and display
The Galaxy Z Flip 8 features a clamshell-style form factor with a cover display on the outside and a large foldable OLED screen inside. It is expected to be slim, measuring around 13.2mm when folded and 6.6mm when unfolded. It could weigh 180g, 8g lighter than the Galaxy Z Flip 7.
The phone is rumored to have an IP48 rating for dust and water resistance. It also features a side-mounted capacitive fingerprint reader and stereo speakers.
The device is expected to feature a 4.1-inch OLED cover display and a 6.9-inch foldable OLED display. Both screens could reach up to 2,600 nits of peak brightness and support HDR10+. The cover display is likely to be protected by Gorilla Glass Victus 2.
The foldable display is expected to have a nearly crease-free design, thanks to an improved hinge and OLED panel.
Cameras
The Galaxy Z Flip 8 is expected to feature a 50MP primary rear camera and a 12MP ultrawide camera. On the front, it will likely use a 10MP camera for selfies, video calls, and video recording.
All cameras are expected to support up to 4K 60fps video recording with 10-bit HDR and Super HDR. It is unclear whether the primary camera will support 8K 30fps video recording, but that seems unlikely.
Specifications
The Galaxy Z Flip 8 is likely to be powered by the Exynos 2600 processor, which debuted with the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26+ earlier this year. Built on a 2nm process, it features a 10-core CPU and the Xclipse 960 GPU, offering improved performance and efficiency compared to the Exynos 2500 used in the Galaxy Z Flip 7.
The device is expected to come with 12GB of RAM and 256GB or 512GB of storage. Other features may include 5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, NFC, and a USB Type-C port with up to 5Gbps transfer speeds.
It is expected to be powered by a 4,300mAh battery and support 15W Qi2.2 wireless charging and up to 25W wired charging.
Software
The phone will likely run Android 17-based One UI 9.0 out of the box. Like other Galaxy S and Galaxy Z series devices, it could receive operating system and security updates for up to seven years.
It is also expected to include several Galaxy AI features.
