Samsung could be bestowing the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 8 with a nearly crease-free inner display via a redesigned hinge, plus a slightly slimmer body. Will those be enough to sway the tide?<\/p>\n

Samsung\u2019s clamshell-style foldables have traditionally been a study in compromise, but the latest rumor points to an about-face, particularly in the mechanical design aspect. According to a report by Naver tipster yeux1122, the South Korean company is incorporating a new hinge mechanism that could reduce the display crease into something barely noticeable (when new, anyway).\u00a0<\/p>\n


\nThis matters because it affects how light hits the panel, how the display feels under the finger, and more importantly, how confidently buyers judge a foldable\u2019s long-term durability. Sure, it’s really all about aesthetics; creases don’t objectively mean a lower-quality product, but having a creaseless display is the holy grail for many brands.<\/p>\n

Aside from the hinge, the Flip 8 is said to be slightly wider than its predecessor, while also being around 0.5mm thinner when folded. That combination sounds modest on paper, but small change like these can make a huge difference in how well it fits in the user’s palm and how the phone sits in a pocket, respectively. Weight is also expected to dip. Leaks cited by multiple outlets suggest the phone could come in at around 180g (down from 188g on the Flip 7<\/a>).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, what the rumors do not promise is a dramatic hardware overhaul. Battery capacity is expected to stay at 4,300mAh with 25W charging, and several core components may remain close to last year\u2019s formula.\u00a0There is also serious talk of a 2nm Exynos 2600 chip<\/a> inside, which would fit Samsung\u2019s recent habit of reserving its in-house processors for some foldable models while keeping Snapdragon for its flagship Galaxy S lineup. It’s also possible for Samsung to drop an Ultra version that has all the bells and whistles.

\nRelease timing could happen at the July Unpacked event in London, where Samsung could unveil the Galaxy Z Flip 8 alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 8. Pricing is believed to range between $1,100-1,300 (i.e. nearly matching the previous gen), but that may change<\/a> due to rising global memory prices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Samsung could be bestowing the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 8 with a nearly crease-free inner display via a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1360,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[1370,239,127,223,1138],"class_list":["post-1359","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-samsung","tag-foldables","tag-galaxy-z-flip-8","tag-samsung","tag-samsung-group","tag-smartphone"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1359","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1359"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1359\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1360"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1359"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1359"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1359"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
