The first rendered images of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 have just appeared online, leaked by OnLeaks and published through Mymobiles. If you were expecting a striking redesign, it's better to adjust your expectations: the successor to the Flip 7 arrives with an appearance practically identical to that of its predecessor.
The dimensions of the Flip 8 will be 166.8 x 75.4 x 6.6 mm unfolded and 85.4 x 75.4 x 13.2 mm folded. The Flip 7 measured 166.7 x 75.2 x 6.5 mm open and 13.7 mm closed. In practice, the new model gains half a millimeter when folded—for the better—and little else in terms of appreciable physical differences. The outer screen of 4.1 inches and the inside 6.9 They are identical to those of the previous model.
Another year of refinement, no big news
The same happens in other sections. Leaked photographic specifications point to a main camera of 50MP, 12 MP ultra wide angle and 10 MP front: the same hardware that we already saw in the Flip 7. The battery does not change either, with a combined capacity of about 4,174 mAh distributed between its two internal cells. Where there could be a real difference is in the processor: the 2nm Exynos 2600which should be noted in performance and energy efficiency. As for the price, Samsung seems to want to maintain the starting price of $1,099, although in the European market it could be around $1,099. 1,199 euros. The presentation would take place in July 2026, at an Unpacked event in London, a different location than usual.
With this panorama, the Flip 8 makes more sense for those who come from the Flip 6 or previous versions than for current users of the Flip 7, who would have little or nothing to gain from the jump. And another question remains: whether Samsung will repeat this year with a Z Flip 8 FE. There is no confirmed information, but the success of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE makes it quite likely that there will be a new edition.
Samsung faces increasingly serious competition, with Motorola tightening and the possible foldable iPhone lurking on the horizon. The question is whether a commitment to stability and refinement is enough to justify the price, or if the market is going to start demanding more from it.
