Samsung's next clamshell-style phone may prove difficult to differentiate from the Galaxy Z Flip 7. Leaked images and specs for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, reported by WinFuture and highlighted by 9to5Google, appear very similar to the current flip phone from Samsung.

The leak indicates no upgrade to Qualcomm Snapdragon processors for the Z Flip 8. It will instead feature Samsung's Exynos 2600 chip, following the Exynos 2500 in the Z Flip 7. Support for 45W wired charging stands out as the other key upgrade.

Samsung plans to unveil the Z Flip 8 along with its new foldables at a Galaxy Unpacked event on July 22. A recent Spider-Man: Brand New Day teaser offered a glimpse of the phones, showing a flip design identical to the Z Flip 7 and aligning with the WinFuture leaks. New color options reportedly include pale pink, along with cream white and graphite black.

WinFuture states that the screens match those of the Z Flip 7, featuring a 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED internally and a 4.1-inch Super AMOLED externally. Base specs for storage and RAM are also unchanged at 256GB and 12GB.
