"The Flip8 will allegedly be at least 10% thinner and lighter than its predecessor. That would make it at most 6mm thin when opened, 12mm thick when closed, and around 170g in weight. This is going to be key to Samsung achieving 10% better sales for the Flip8 and Fold8 compared to the Flip7 and Fold7. The company has apparently set a sales target of 6.7 million units for the upcoming foldables."
"The plan to make the Z Flip8 thinner and lighter comes as a consequence of the fact that the Flip7's sales have been relatively weak. And it all makes sense of course, especially considering how Samsung's Chinese competitors have all focused on thinness and lightness for their foldables in recent times. Samsung is also allegedly concerned about Apple entering the foldable fray in 2026. While this might just 'expand the pie' of overall foldable device sales, Apple could also lure some Samsung customers."
Samsung plans to launch the Galaxy Z Flip8 alongside the Galaxy Z Fold8 next summer. The Flip8 will be at least 10% thinner and lighter than its predecessor, measuring up to 6mm open, 12mm closed, and around 170g. The company targets 10% better combined sales for the Flip8 and Fold8 versus the Flip7 and Fold7, with a sales target of 6.7 million units. The redesign responds to relatively weak Flip7 sales and competitive pressure from Chinese makers emphasizing thinness and lightness. Samsung also anticipates Apple entering the foldable market in 2026 and aims to make the Flip8 more appealing. The Flip8 is expected to receive reductions similar to the Fold7's recent slimming.
