A new leak says it could also be the phone that ends Samsung\u2019s Z Flip branding.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Samsung hasn\u2019t confirmed any of that. Still, the report lands at a moment when the company is also expected to show off the <strong>Galaxy Z Fold 8<\/strong> and, if other reports are accurate, a wider foldable as well. The Galaxy Z Flip 8 itself is said to stay close to the Galaxy Z Flip 7 in terms of design, with an Exynos 2600 chip in some markets and the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 in the US.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you follow Samsung\u2019s foldables, this is the kind of rumor to keep an eye on. Market estimates still say flip phones account for about <strong>67%<\/strong> of the category, but demand may be starting to move toward larger devices. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 pre-orders reportedly came in ahead of Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 pre-orders, and Samsung was also said to be planning more Galaxy Z Fold 8 units than Galaxy Z Flip 8 units.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That lines up with a few things at once. Component costs are going up. Clamshell designs are getting harder to improve in ways people will notice. A simpler lineup would make sense. And there\u2019s also the possibility of Apple arriving with a <strong>book-style foldable<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Competition isn\u2019t easing up, either. Market estimates have Samsung\u2019s share dropping from <strong>40%<\/strong> last year to 31% this year. Motorola\u2019s Razr line is said to hold about 50% of the US foldable market, while Huawei keeps adding pressure internationally. For the official details, Samsung\u2019s July 22 event is the one to watch.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Samsung\u2019s Galaxy Z Flip 8 is expected to debut on July 22.
