Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 specs and cases leaks fill the gaps in Samsung's new teaser — and there could be one disappointing omission

  • A near-complete specs list for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 has leaked
  • We've also seen leaked renders of the Z Fold 8, Z Fold 8 Ultra, and Z Flip 8
  • Plus, a leaker claims none of these phones will have a Privacy Display

We’re probably less than a month away from the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its siblings, with July 22 being repeatedly tipped as the announcement date, and Samsung even recently teasing its upcoming foldables.

Sadly, those teasers didn’t actually reveal much, but a trio of leaks has told us almost everything we need to know about the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 — assuming the details here are correct.

First up, reputable leaker Ahmed Qwaider has shared a near-complete specs list, claiming that the Galaxy Z Fold 8 will have a 7.6-inch 120Hz foldable screen and a 5.5-inch cover display, both with QHD+ resolutions.

It will also apparently have a 50MP wide camera, a 50MP ultra-wide, and two 10MP selfie cameras (one on each screen). For power, it’s said to use a top-end Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset and 12GB of RAM, paired with a choice of 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage.

Qwaider also claims that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 will have a 4,800mAh battery, will weigh 201g, and come in at 123.9 x 81.9 x 9.7mm when folded and 123.9 x 161.4 x 4.5mm when unfolded.

Some of these specs might sound like a step down from the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 — for example, there’s one less camera listed here — but that’s because the phone dubbed the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 is expected to be a new, wider, shorter model, with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra likely to be the true successor to the Z Fold 7.

In any case, Android Headlines has also recently shared some renders of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8.

The phones are shown in cases, so we don’t get an unobstructed look at them, but they’re largely as you’d expect, with the Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 looking a lot like their predecessors, while the Galaxy Z Fold 8 looks like a squatter version of the Galaxy Z Fold 7.

And finally, leaker @UniverseIce has claimed that none of these upcoming phones will have the Privacy Display found on the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra.

This feature — which means people can’t see sensitive content on your screen when viewing it from the side — is arguably one of the highlights of Samsung’s latest flagship, and one of the most innovative features the company has come up with in a while, so it will be a real shame if none of its upcoming foldables have this too.

Still, at least we shouldn’t have long to wait before we find out exactly what these phones are capable of.
