Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Flip 8 could use either an Exynos or Snapdragon chip, and the code does not show a final choice yet.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Kg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"(min-width: 64rem) 51.25rem, 80vw\" title=\"Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Flip 8 chips\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Galaxy-Z-Fold-8-and-Flip-8-chips.jpg 901w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Galaxy-Z-Fold-8-and-Flip-8-chips-64w-26h.jpg 64w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Galaxy-Z-Fold-8-and-Flip-8-chips-675w-274h.jpg 675w\" alt=\"Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Flip 8 chip strategy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Galaxy-Z-Fold-8-and-Flip-8-chips.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The Fold 8 and the new Fold 8 Wide\u2019s potential use of Qualcomm processors align with Samsung\u2019s usual focus on performance in its bigger devices. Using Snapdragon in the new \u201cWide\u201d model should also help avoid problems that often come with first-generation products.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s still unclear what chip the Flip 8 will use. Samsung might offer Snapdragon in the US and Exynos elsewhere, or it could still be deciding. Since Samsung is showing more trust in its own chips, there\u2019s a good chance the Flip 8 could use the Exynos 2600 worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>Still, nothing is confirmed until Samsung\u2019s summer Unpacked event, which is expected in July 2026. Pricing is also unknown. Design changes for the Fold 8 and Flip 8 are said to be minor, except for the wider Fold 8 Wide model.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
