Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip8 is set to debut next summer alongside the Galaxy Z Fold8, marking the next step in the company’s foldable phone evolution. A new report from Korea has revealed several exciting details about the upcoming clamshell model.
According to the report, Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip8 will be at least 10% thinner and lighter than its predecessor, the Flip7. The phone is expected to measure around 6mm when unfolded and 12mm when folded, with an estimated weight of just 170 grams. This slimmer profile aims to make the device more portable and appealing to users who prefer compact designs.
Samsung has reportedly set a combined sales goal of 6.7 million units for the Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Flip8, signaling a major push to boost demand in the foldable segment. The Flip7’s sales performance fell short of expectations, prompting Samsung to focus on design and usability improvements for the new model.
Industry sources suggest that Samsung’s redesign of the Galaxy Z Flip8 is part of a broader effort to respond to the growing competition from Chinese brands, which have introduced ultra-thin and lightweight foldables. The company is also preparing for Apple’s expected entry into the foldable market in 2026.
While Apple’s arrival could expand consumer interest in foldable phones, Samsung is reportedly aiming to secure its position early by refining its own lineup. The Flip8’s upgraded design and improved performance could help maintain the brand’s dominance before competition intensifies.
Earlier models, such as the Galaxy Z Fold7, already benefited from a thinner and lighter frame, while the Flip7 showed minimal changes. If reports hold true, the Galaxy Z Flip8 will receive a similar design overhaul in 2025, offering users a more premium and refined foldable experience.
