The phone is said to feature a 7.6-inch main folding display with a resolution of 2448 x 1848 pixels and a 4:3 aspect ratio. On the outside, it will have a 5.5-inch cover screen with a resolution of 1248 x 1972 pixels. Both displays are expected to support a 120Hz refresh rate.
Samsung has also reportedly switched to a titanium display substrate. This change could make the display crease nearly invisible.
The Galaxy Z Fold8 will use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy chipset. It will be available with 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and either 256GB or 512GB of storage. Another version will offer 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. The Fold8 will reportedly come in Graphite, Cream, and Lavender colors. Samsung is also planning a Pistachio version, which will be sold only through its online store.
For photography, the phone is expected to include a 50MP main camera with an f/1.8 aperture and a 50MP ultrawide camera with an f/1.9 aperture. The device will also feature two 10MP selfie cameras with f/2.2 apertures.
Samsung is reportedly equipping the Fold8 with a 4,800mAh battery that supports 45W wired charging and wireless charging. The company claims the battery can retain at least 80% of its original capacity after 1,200 charge cycles. The device will measure 4.5mm in thickness when unfolded and carry an IP48 rating for dust and water resistance. It will weigh 201 grams and start at €1,999 in Germany.
