Samsung’s foldable smartphone lineup will get another refresh this summer. We already know what the Galaxy Z Fold 8 will look like, courtesy of leaked CAD renders<\/a>. Considering the design upgrades introduced with the Galaxy Z Fold 7<\/a> last year, it was no surprise that there weren’t too many visual changes on board.<\/p>\n

We’re now getting a good glimpse at the Galaxy Z Flip 8 in similar high-resolution CAD renders. These images were published as part of a collaboration between @OnLeaks<\/a> and MyMobiles<\/a>, giving us an excellent look at the upcoming flip-style foldable in all its glory.<\/p>\n

Based on what we said about the Galaxy Z Fold 8 renders we saw recently, it shouldn’t come as a big surprise that the Galaxy Z Flip 8 also looks practically unchanged from its predecessor. There is one difference, although it may not be sufficient to warrant an upgrade for owners of the Z Flip 7.<\/p>\n

The Galaxy Z Flip 8 will be thinner, but not by much<\/p>\n

With dimensions of 85.4 x 75.4 x 13.2mm when folded, versus the Galaxy Z Flip 7’s 85.5 x 75.2 x 13.7mm, the big takeaway is that the Galaxy Z Flip 8 will be roughly 0.5mm thinner. On the other hand, the upcoming foldable will measure 166.8 x 75.4 x 6.6mm when unfolded, largely similar to the last-gen model’s dimensions of 166.7 x 75.2 x 6.5mm.<\/p>\n

This leak corroborates a report from back in November suggesting that a thinner Z Flip model may be on the cards<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Given the design similarities with the last-gen model, save for the thinner frame, the Galaxy Z Flip 8 is unlikely to feature major hardware upgrades. Thankfully, multiple reports over the past few months have given us a sense of what to expect from the foldable.<\/p>\n

A leak in January<\/a> indicated that the Z Flip 8 won’t bring any major changes to the camera hardware. Meanwhile, reports also claim that the foldable will stick with an Exynos chipset, specifically the Exynos 2600<\/a>. This is unsurprising considering that Samsung made the switch to the Exynos 2500 with the Galaxy Z Flip 7<\/a> last year.<\/p>\n

Wider foldables are the way to go<\/p>\n

As for when you can expect these smartphones to be officially unveiled, Samsung may have earmarked July 22, 2026, as the date<\/a>. The event will reportedly take place in London.<\/p>\n

While the Galaxy Z Flip 8 and the Galaxy Z Fold 8 will be unveiled during the event, most of the attention may go towards the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide<\/a>. Samsung is expected to market it as a rival to Apple’s first-ever foldable, though the price tag will likely be a decisive factor for consumers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Samsung’s foldable smartphone lineup will get another refresh this summer.
