The Galaxy Z Flip 8 is Samsungâs clamshell-style foldable smartphone launching in 2026. It hasnât 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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
Samsung is expected to reveal pricing during the Galaxy Unpacked 2026 event scheduled for July. The Galaxy Z Flip 8 could be slightly more expensive than its predecessor, with a starting price of around $949.99 in the US.
The phone is expected to become available in the first week of August 2026 in most major markets worldwide.
