| The next-gen Samsung Galaxy Z Flip isn't expected to receive major camera upgrades. |
If you were hoping for a massive camera revolution in Samsung’s next clamshell foldable, you might need to temper those expectations. A fresh report from the trusted source, GalaxyClub, has revealed the likely camera specifications for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8, and they look strikingly similar to the current model.
According to the leak, the Galaxy Z Flip8 will sport a triple-camera setup consisting of a 50 MP main sensor, a 12 MP ultrawide lens, and a 10 MP front-facing camera. For those keeping score, that’s identical on paper to the configuration found on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 (approx. $899 on Amazon).

Now, before you write it off as a simple rehash, it’s important to note that same megapixel count doesn’t always mean identical performance. Samsung could still be planning meaningful upgrades behind the scenes, such as larger sensor sizes for better low-light photos, faster aperture lenses, or significant software processing improvements powered by a new chipset. However, the leak pours cold water on hopes for more radical hardware jumps—like a 200 MP main camera or a 50 MP ultrawide sensor—at least for this generation.
This apparent decision to hold the line on camera hardware highlights a continued point of contrast with rivals. For instance, the camera-centric Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 is rumored to boast a more impressive 50 MP ultrawide camera and a sharper 32 MP selfie shooter. It’s a clear signal that in the burgeoning flip phone market, Samsung seems to be prioritizing refinement and perhaps other features over winning the megapixel war.
As for other details, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 is widely expected to be unveiled in July, following the company’s typical release schedule. The report suggests pricing will remain stable, with the 256 GB base model likely starting at around $1,100. Under the hood, we could see the new Exynos 2600 processor make its debut, though it remains unclear what other enhancements, like battery life or display technology, are in store.
For context, the current Galaxy Z Flip7 features a stunning 6.9-inch foldable AMOLED display with a peak HDR brightness of 2,600 nits, a handy 4.1-inch cover screen, and a 4,300 mAh battery with wireless charging support.
While the camera news may not be the leap some were hoping for, it suggests Samsung is confident in the current formula. The real question will be what other innovations—in durability, software, or form factor—the company has up its sleeve to make the Z Flip8 stand out.
