According to the well-known tipster, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/UniverseIce\/status\/2075075643017142419?s=20\" rel=\"nofollow\">Ice Universe<\/a>, this might be the last small folding handset from Samsung.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019d be strange for Samsung to get rid of its Z Flip series, as it has a history of outselling its Fold series \u2014 well, at least until <a href=\"https:\/\/mobilesyrup.com\/2025\/08\/08\/samsung-galaxy-z-fold-7-review\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the Z Fold 7<\/a>, which accounted for roughly 60 per cent of pre-orders. Samsung wouldn\u2019t be the first to make this move, as Chinese brands like Xiaomi and Oppo have stopped selling flip-style phones in the past few years.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 is likely to be Samsung\u2019s last small folding product. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/9zN4nNRLT2\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/9zN4nNRLT2<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ice Universe (@UniverseIce) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/UniverseIce\/status\/2075075643017142419?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">July 9, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If this rumour is true, it won\u2019t topple the flip phone industry, though. In the U.S., the top foldable maker is Motorola, and this was before the launch of the <a href=\"https:\/\/mobilesyrup.com\/2026\/06\/30\/samsung-galaxy-z-fold-8-specs-leak\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Razr Fold<\/a>. Motorola has made Flip phones its thing, selling multiple models of the device, depending on the region. However, in 2026, MobileSyrup learned that <a href=\"https:\/\/mobilesyrup.com\/2026\/05\/13\/motorola-razr-fold-coming-to-canada-not-the-other-razr\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Motorola wouldn\u2019t bring the latest Razr Flip to Canada<\/a>, so maybe they don\u2019t sell as well here.<\/p>\n<p>Honestly, it won\u2019t be a big loss for me if Samsung stop selling the Z Flip series. I\u2019ve never been a huge fan. With rumours that Samsung is positioning the new Fold 8 as more affordable and smaller than what we\u2019re used to, for me, it\u2019s the perfect replacement.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about what\u2019s coming to Samsung Unpacked in London, England, <a href=\"https:\/\/mobilesyrup.com\/2026\/07\/09\/samsung-unpacked-2026-fold-8-possible-galaxy-glasses\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">and why I\u2019m very excited.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/UniverseIce\/status\/2075075643017142419?s=20\" rel=\"nofollow\">Ice Universe<\/a><\/p>\n<p>MobileSyrup may earn a commission from purchases made via our links, which helps fund the journalism we provide free on our website.
