After launching the Samsung Galaxy S26 Series in February 2026, Samsung is now generating buzz for its new addition to the foldable phone series, with the Galaxy Z Flip 8 expected to launch soon.
The leaks and rumours have pointed towards a phone focused more on performance and an enhanced AI experience. Let us take a look at the rumoured specifications of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 Specifications
Inner display: The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 is expected to feature a 7-inch LTPO AMOLED foldable inner screen with a refresh rate up to 120Hz and peak brightness hitting up to 2600 nits, with HDR10+ support.
Outer display: For the cover display, it is expected to feature a 4.2-inch Super AMOLED display.
For the power, it is rumoured to pack Samsung’s Exynos 2600 chipset and is paired with 12GB RAM and 256GB UFS 4.1 storage.
When it comes to the Samsung Z Flip 8 camera specs, it is expected to feature a 50MP main + 50MP or 12MP ultrawide duo with 4K@60fps video support. On the front, a 12MP front punch-hole selfie cam that supports 4K video too.
Other than that, AI enhancements from the Galaxy AI suite will improve low-light shots and editing, similar to recent Samsung flagships.
Here is the thing Samsung always skips, and doesn’t care to improve. The Galaxy Z Flip 8 battery is rumored to have a 4700mAh or 4300mAh (rated 4174mAh) battery, the same as the Galaxy Z Flip 7. It will further have 25W wired, 15W wireless, and 4.5W reverse wireless charging.
This can be a disappointment for the Samsung fans yet again, as other smartphone companies are easily providing a 6000-7000mAh battery at much lower prices.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 Price in India
As per the rumours, Samsung is planning to unveil the Galaxy Z Flip 8 at its summer Galaxy Unpacked event in July or August 2026, alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 8. Sales could start shortly after, if we were to follow the pattern of past Flip models like the Z Flip 7 from 2025.
In India, the availability is expected soon after global rollout, with the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8’s India Pricing expected to be around INR 1,19,999 for the base 12GB RAM + 256GB variant.

Conclusion
Although the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 is a phone that will come with a faster chip and a brighter screen, the main concern for the users remains the same: a small battery with minimal changes to the camera specs as compared to the predecessor.
So, for a phone that will cost around INR 1 Lakh, is it still justified to give minimal updates to the camera and still provide a battery that is under 5000mAh?
This phone can be a good choice for people who like a stylish phone with a cool design, but if we talk about the specifications, then it can be a disappointing upgrade.
