Samsung could be preparing a significant change for the Galaxy Z Flip 8 by adopting a dual-chip strategy for its next-generation foldable phone. Recent leaks suggest the device may launch with either an Exynos or Snapdragon processor depending on the market, marking a departure from the single-chip approach used on the Galaxy Z Flip 7.
The reported move is notable because the Galaxy Z Flip 7 was the first model in Samsung’s clamshell foldable series to ship globally with an Exynos chipset. Now, new information points to Samsung bringing back regional processor variants for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, a strategy it has long used for several Galaxy S and Galaxy Z flagship devices.
Galaxy Z Flip 8 Chipset Strategy
According to recent leaks, the Galaxy Z Flip 8 could be offered with Samsung’s upcoming Exynos 2600 processor in some regions, while other markets may receive a Snapdragon-powered version. Although the exact Qualcomm chipset has not been confirmed, reports indicate it could be the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.
