TL;DR
A Dutch report indicates Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 8 may largely keep the same camera hardware as the Flip 7, including a 50MP main sensor, 12MP ultrawide and a 10MP front camera. Rumors also point to a similar $1,100 entry price, a new Exynos 2600 2nm chipset, and a slimmer, lighter chassis.
What happened
According to a report from GalaxyClub cited by Android Police, Samsung's next clamshell foldable, the Galaxy Z Flip 8, is expected to carry over the camera array used in last year's Flip 7. The leak says the Flip 8 will continue to use a 50MP primary sensor, a 12MP ultrawide lens and a 10MP selfie camera, with no telephoto module added. Samsung may tweak sensor components but is not believed to be planning major photographic upgrades for the flip-style model. Separately, the Flip 8 is rumored to be around 10% thinner and lighter than its predecessor and could ship with Samsung's new Exynos 2600 — a 2nm chip said to offer meaningful gains over the Exynos 2500. Reports also suggest Samsung may try to keep the entry price near $1,100 and that a launch around the typical July window remains possible.
Why it matters
- Photographers who expected a telephoto upgrade may be disappointed if the Flip 8 keeps last year’s camera layout.
- Retaining the same camera hardware could be a trade-off to preserve a familiar price point for the flip model.
- A smaller, lighter chassis could improve portability, one of the Flip line’s main selling points.
- A move to a 2nm Exynos 2600 would signal a generational chipset improvement for Samsung’s in-house silicon.
