Are you excited about the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 8?
Another incremental step for the Galaxy Z Flip family?
What will most likely change is the chipset inside. We expect Samsung to continue to use the Flip series for an Exynos testbed. Judging from the previous generation and the S26 situation, the Z Flip 8 will most likely come equipped with the Exynos 2600 chip. It's a flagship silicon built on a 2 nm node, but its performance still can't match the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2's main rival.Further down the specs sheet there's nothing new or exciting to report. The charging speeds will also most likely remain the same, and the only meaningful upgrade could come in the form of a new design, thinner phone, narrower bezels around the displays, and lighter weight.

Galaxy Z Flip 8 rumored release date and price
We assume that Samsung will simply launch the Galaxy Z Flip 8 and Galaxy Z Fold 8 using the familiar schedule the company has been following for the past couple of generations. We're looking at a possible official announcement sometime in July.
In terms of the potential price increase, that's the only good news at the moment. According to the rumors and leaks from industry insiders, Samsung will stick to the same price tag that the company used for the previous model.
This means you will be able to get the 256GB base version of the Galaxy Z Flip 8 for $1,099. There will be just one additional 512GB version possibly with the same 12GB of RAM, and the price will most likely match last year's 512GB Z Flip 7 model at around $1,219.
