Android Headlines notes that these are approximations based mostly on the drawings. Additionally they counsel that Samsung may carry again S Pen assist with the return of the digitizer, which might make the system thicker. Samsung eliminated it final yr to make the Fold 7 as skinny as potential when that was all the fad.
In any other case, the Fold 8 retains the identical 8-inch interior show and 6.5-inch cowl display screen.
We’re additionally anticipating an improve to the battery, which ought to improve from 4,400 mAh to five,000 mAh — making it the identical capability as within the Galaxy S26 Ultra. The Fold 8 is also rumored to get 45W charging, faster than the 25W on the Fold 7, but still slower than the 60W on the S26 Ultra.

Barring something main — which, given the state of issues, is a risk — Samsung ought to debut the Galaxy Z Fold 8 in both July or August, simply because it’s finished the previous few summers for the Fold sequence.
Final yr, the Z Fold 7 noticed a $100 value bump. Nonetheless, Samsung is now going through an AI pushed reminiscence scarcity, in addition to competitors within the type of Apple’s anticipated iPhone Fold.
For the reason that firm saved costs largely the identical for the Galaxy S26 sequence launched earlier this month, I believe one thing comparable will occur with each the Fold 8 and the Galaxy Z Flip 8.
Plus, Samsung could debut the rumored Z Fold Broad, which is supposed to straight compete with the squarer foldable iPhone. As a result of that system may cannibalize gross sales of the Fold 8, I can’t see the corporate decreasing demand by elevating costs. Both manner, we’ll know extra come summer season.
