Although Samsung has yet to reveal the official specifications, recent leaks suggest the Galaxy Z Flip 8 will have a 6.9-inch foldable display with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate and 2,600 nits peak brightness. It is likely to retain the 4.1-inch cover screen with an upgraded 120Hz refresh rate.

The Galaxy Z Flip 8's battery is expected to be unchanged, with a 4,300mAh capacity. It is likely to offer the same 25W charging speed as its predecessor. It is likely to have a thin and lightweight form factor compared to the existing model. It could measure 6.1mm thickness in the unfolded state and 13.2mm when folded.
