Side-by-side size comparison of Samsung’s upcoming foldable lineup leaked
ⓘ ChatGPT
Another day, another leak. Reliable tipster Ice Universe recently published a photo of the supposed screen protectors for Samsung’s upcoming foldable lineup, namely the Galaxy Z Flip 8, Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. If true, this photo confirms just how distinct the two devices will be, as the standard Fold 8 shifts to a wider, shorter design—seemingly as a direct response to Apple’s forthcoming foldable. Of course, Apple and Samsung are not the only players vying for their share of the market of foldables; Vivo and Xiaomi, among others, are also expected to launch similar products soon.
Otherwise, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 is expected to have an improved display crease, a weight of 201 grams and a 4800 mAh battery, among other things. The Galaxy Z Flip 8, on the other hand, is not expected to change much from its predecessor. Previous leaks have mentioned a new hinge design that purportedly makes the phone 0.02 inches thinner when folded, in addition to a slight reduction in weight. Regarding the chipset, the current consensus is that the flip phone will be equipped with the Exynos 2600 in South Korea and Europe, but with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy in the US and elsewhere.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8, Z Fold 8 and Z Fold 8 Ultra are expected to be unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event on July 22, in addition to the Galaxy Watch 9 and the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2.
Growing up in regional Australia, I first became acquainted with computers in my early teens after a broken leg from a football (soccer) match temporarily condemned me to a predominately indoor lifestyle. Soon afterwards I was building my own systems. Now I live in Germany, having moved here in 2014, where I study philosophy and anthropology. I am particularly fascinated by how computer technology has fundamentally and dramatically reshaped human culture, and how it continues to do so.
