A new leak sheds light on the potential chips for Samsung’s upcoming foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Galaxy Z Fold8 Wide, and Galaxy Z Flip 8.

According to Erencan Yılmaz, Samsung may use Snapdragon chips in the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Fold8 Wide, while the Galaxy Z Flip 8 may go for Exynos.

Last year, Samsung introduced the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and TriFold with a flagship Snapdragon processor. Exynos 2500, which missed adoption in the S25 series, has debuted with the Galaxy Z Flip 7 worldwide.

In 2026, Samsung’s chip choices may remain intact. The book-style foldable phones may opt for Snapdragon, while the clamshell-type folding device would prefer Exynos.

There’s also a chance that the Galaxy Z Flip 8 may use a Snapdragon processor in select markets. The adoption may be similar to the Galaxy S lineup, prioritizing Qualcomm in the US, China, Canada and a few more countries.

Galaxy S26 series comes with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy. It’s the fastest application processor in the Android segment. Exynos 2600 is the world’s first 2nm chipset, which powers S26 and S26 Plus in most markets.

Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Fold8 Wide are not just expensive but signature models. Exynos 2600 is nice, but it still lags behind its Snapdragon counterpart. That said, the Fold lineup may pick Snapdragon, just like the S26 Ultra.

Samsung is expected to hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London.
