TL;DR
- A new Galaxy Z Flip 8 leak claims an improved hinge and a reduction of a few grams in weight.
- The tipster also says Samsung may achieve a crease‑free display for the Flip 8.
- The leaker’s track record is spotty, so the information should be taken with caution.
Samsung’s next major Unpacked event is fast approaching, where it is expected to announce its new foldables, including the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide. While the Wide Fold has garnered most of the attention, Samsung’s other two foldables—the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Flip 8—should also be unveiled at the launch. Among the three, the Flip has been getting the least traction, leading many to assume there won’t be any major changes, especially given the lack of visible changes in the leaked design. However, a recent leak suggests otherwise.
Leak Details
A tipster named Lanzuk posted on Naver, a Korean social media platform, claiming “major changes” for the Galaxy Z Flip 8. According to the post, the notable changes include:
- New hinge design – potentially more robust and smoother.
- Crease‑free display – aiming to eliminate the visible line when the phone is folded.
The tipster also mentioned a modest increase in horizontal length (consistent with earlier leaks) and a weight reduction from 188 g to 180 g.

Skepticism
It’s worth noting that Lanzuk’s record is not immaculate; some of their past claims have proven inaccurate. As the launch date approaches, we’ll have a clearer picture of which details hold up.
What Stays the Same
According to the tipster, several specifications are expected to remain unchanged from the Galaxy Z Flip 7:
- Battery capacity and charging speeds
- Camera module – see the earlier camera specs leak
- Cover display
- Speakers
- Vibration motor
