The Galaxy Z Flip 8 may be getting a thinner design next year, following the significant changes seen in the Galaxy Z Fold 7 released earlier this year. Currently, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 measures 6.5mm when unfolded and 13.7mm when folded.
This information comes from a user on X, who suggests that the upcoming model will feature improvements in thickness, display, and performance. They claim it will be the first time in several years that the device becomes thinner while maintaining or possibly increasing the battery size.
While the details are somewhat vague, it is expected that performance and display enhancements will occur, as they do annually. The Galaxy Z Flip 8 is likely to be thinner, especially considering that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is approximately half the thickness of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 when unfolded.
There is a possibility that this rumor holds some truth, as Samsung has focused on creating thinner devices over the past year. This trend includes not only the Galaxy S25 Edge but also the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Galaxy Watch 8 series.
The Galaxy Z Flip 8 is expected to launch in July. However, with the Galaxy S26 series launch anticipated in the next two months, there is a chance that the release of the Galaxy Z Flip 8 and Fold 8 could be pushed back to August, aligning better with the Fall release cycle.
