Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 will launch in July 2026, but a new leak has already revealed the potential design upgrades and a price increase.

Galaxy Z Flip 8 will land alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide this year. In 2025, the book-style foldable phone surpassed the clamshell foldable phone for the first time, and the streak could continue in 2026.

Galaxy Z Flip 8 gets subtle design upgrades

Samsung’s next Flip phone is getting subtle design upgrades. The device may feature a slightly increased horizontal width. It will be paired with a new hinge solution, which will make it around half mm thinner when folded.

Galaxy Z Flip 7 is 188 grams, while the Flip 8 is expected to be around 180 grams. Samsung is also continuing its efforts to reduce the display crease, with the Galaxy Z Flip 8 potentially bringing “no visible fold line” this year.

Key segments such as battery capacity, charging, and camera could be unchanged. Galaxy Z Flip 7 debuted with a 4300mAh battery, 300mAh larger than its predecessor, and the latest capacity could be retained this year.

Samsung may increase foldable prices

Samsung won’t bring a major price hike to the Galaxy Z Flip 8. Price freeze isn’t expected due to pressure from DRAM and NAND components.

Galaxy S26 series comes with increased prices over its predecessor. Samsung was forced to revise its pricing strategy as memory prices skyrocketed.

Galaxy Z Flip lineup introduces foldable phones with a compact form factor. However, the interest is spiking in book-style foldable devices. The launch of the Wide Fold model would widen the gap further due to its practical design.

Samsung is rumored to hold Unpacked on July 22 in London.
