The foldable phone market continues to move fast, but it seems that some manufacturers prefer to hit the brakes. The latest leaks about the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 They leave us with a somewhat bittersweet taste. According to sources close to the supply chain, the South Korean firm will focus on refining the exterior design of its next clamshell device, completely leaving aside the major improvements inside.
Thanks to an internal reorganization of its components, this new terminal will achieve a quite interesting weight reduction. We will go from the 188 grams that the previous generation weighed to about 180 gramsa figure that consolidates it as one of the lightest folding products of the moment. Additionally, the device is expected to be slightly thinner when closedimproving the sensation when carrying it in your pocket or using it with one hand.
An improved hinge that does not compensate for stagnation
The most striking detail of this report is the promise of a wrinkle-free screen. Everything indicates that Samsung has finally redesigned its hinge system so that the central fold of the panel is almost imperceptible to sight and touch. It was a change demanded by the community for years, but this visual evolution comes with an important sacrifice: continuity in its technical specifications.
If you were expecting a real revolution, this model may not be for you. The filtration ensures that elements vital to the daily experience will not have any improvement: the battery, charging speed and cameras They will remain exactly the same as those of their predecessor. It is a conformist decision that makes the launch less attractive, especially since it has already been recently leaked designconfirming that visually it will be almost identical.
Seeing that the changes are limited to the aesthetics of the hinge and the weight reduction, Would you be willing to pay the starting price for a foldable that recycles last year's interior?
