The alleged replacement for this year's Galaxy Z Fold 7, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, is anticipated to be on sale the following year. Although the phone's main features, cost, and release date are still unknown, some of its details have leaked online. There are rumors that the Galaxy Z Fold 8 will have a bigger battery than its predecessor. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 from this year didn't support the S-Pen. But according to reports, the tech industry is reintroducing it with the Galaxy Z Fold 8. The business is searching for methods to develop the S-Pen with thinner technology, according to a report that was published months ago.
Features and specifications of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 (anticipated)
In order to minimize the fold on the inside screen, the flexible display of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 will be made using "laser-drilling metal plate technology," according to a report (in Korean) from the South Korean website DealSite. Additionally, a 5,000mAh battery—larger than the 4,400mAh cell that came with its predecessor—will be included in the rumored smartphone.According to reports, Samsung's next-generation book-style foldable will bring back functionality for its S-Pen pen. Launched on July 9 at the Galaxy Unpacked 2025 event, this year's Galaxy Z Fold 7 does not support the S Pen. In order to obtain a smaller form factor, the functionality was eliminated. For comparison, when unfurled, the company's most recent Z series phone measures 4.2mm.
According to a recent source, the corporation is investigating and creating "thinner and more innovative" technologies in order to create the S-Pen stylus. According to reports, Samsung will resume support for styluses after it reaches a particular "level of perfection." Given that its flagship Galaxy S25 Ultra also lacked several S-Pen capabilities this year, the tech giant may possibly take into account the growing demand from consumers for the same.
Given that Apple, Samsung's primary rival, is anticipated to release its own horizontally folding iPhone Fold next year, it is becoming more and more crucial for Samsung to keep its first-mover advantage in the market. There are rumors that Apple's foldable phone will have a flexible screen that doesn't wrinkle. Apple's 2nm A20 Pro processor may power it.
