The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 is coming, joining the Galaxy Z Fold 8 at Galaxy Unpacked later this summer. While 2026 is bound to be a big year for foldables, fans of Samsung's flip-foldables may not want to celebrate. Rumors have been remarkably quiet about what the next Z Flip will offer, which suggests that we may not be getting any major upgrades.To make matters worse, rumors suggest that this may be the last ever Samsung flip phone — at least for the time being. The rising cost of manufacturing, along with the Z Flip lineup's general stagnation, means that the Z Flip 9 may not happen. It's too early to say for sure, but it would be quite the shake-up in the foldable world if that were to happen.But, for now, we can only focus on the next flip-foldable on the way.

Pre-orders will likely open that same day, and if experience tells us anything, it's that the phone itself will likely release roughly two weeks later — around August 5.Pricing is unclear right now, but we'd expect the phone to cost the same $1,099 as the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Flip 6. That said, with the number of price hikes that have been imposed on phones, including Samsung's own Galaxy S26 Plus and Galaxy S26 Ultra, there's no telling what might happen. Especially since it's been a couple of years since the last Z Flip price increase.We obviously hope that the price stays the same for at least another year, but there's no telling what might happen.Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8: Design & Display
