Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Apple’s first foldable iPhone to share Samsung's new display tech

The Galaxy Z Fold8 might be even thinner and lighter than the Fold7.

Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Z Fold8’ to have the same "crease-less" display technology as iPhone Fold, aiming to match the Oppo Find N6's nearly invisible crease while offering a thinner, lighter design. As the race for foldable supremacy heats up, 2026 looks to be the year the screen crease finally disappears (kind of).

A new leak seems to have surfaced on X regarding the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8, detailing several key specifications ahead of its anticipated summer launch.

According to a known Samsung tipster, the device is expected to utilize a “dual-layer” Ultra Thin Glass (UTG) and a laser-drilled metal support plate for improved durability - that’s paired with an 8-inch internal display and a 6.5-inch cover screen, both supporting 120Hz refresh rates.

Samsung is reportedly developing the same crease-less display technology for Apple’s rumored iPhone Fold. While Oppo has already achieved a nearly invisible crease with the Oppo Find N6, Samsung and Apple are now racing for the 2nd spot in the crease race. Given Samsung’s established release cycle, the Galaxy Z Fold8 will most likely hit the market before Apple’s first foldable.

The Fold8 will reportedly be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy. It is expected to ship with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and storage options up to 1TB. Camera specifications include a 200 MP main sensor, a 50 MP ultrawide, and a 10 MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. Despite being thinner and lighter than the Fold7, it will allegedly house a larger 5,000 mAh battery with 45W charging - a first for Samsung’s large foldable.

The leak doesn’t include the price of the Fold8. Last year’s Galaxy Z Fold7 launched at 2,000 USD/2,100 EUR - a 100 USD/EUR price increase compared to the Fold6.
