Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 to bring crease-free display and new hinge

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip (and Z Fold) series is preparing to enter its eighth generation later this year, and we have a new report from South Korea that highlights some of the possible changes coming to the flip model.

Samsung is expected to bring a crease-free folding panel alongside a new hinge mechanism. The new report does not go into detail, but we can assume Samsung will employ dual-layer Ultra Thin Glass (UTG), just like it is rumored to do with the Z Fold8.

Z Flip8 is said to be slightly taller than the outgoing model, and despite the upgraded hardware, it will reportedly be 8 grams lighter than its predecessor. Unfortunately, Samsung is not expected to change Z Fold8’s cameras, which means we’ll most likely see the same 50MP main and 12MP ultrawide shooters for the third time around. The external display, speakers and vibration motor are also said to be unchanged.

Previous reports suggest the Z Flip7’s 4,300mAh battery capacity and 25W charging speeds will also make their way to the Z Flip8. At the same time, the latest report suggests we’ll see a slight price increase, which could be limited to the South Korean market.
