As a treat for all smartphone lovers, something exciting is being heard around the corner: it seems that there are talks that the next-gen Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, likely manufactured by Samsung, might very well find itself in the Galaxy Z Flip 8, yet another feather on the cap for the always-growing Samsung-Qualcomm relations.
Snapdragon Chip: A Whole New Era?
To be released in 2025, Qualcomm's upcoming Apex chip is none other than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5. Today, though, something is interesting about this rumor: the heavy dependence of the production process of the chip on the Foundry. It has been quite some time since TSMC has been doing the production. But this time around, let us hope that it implements the 3nm technology in the assembly.
If the rumors turn out to be true, this would be the very first unfolding smartphone carrying a bona fide Snapdragon chipset. Such collaborations would lead to immense performance, power savings, and heat dissipation.
The Galaxy Z Flip 8 Scenarios
Rumors are rife surrounding the possible specifications of the Galaxy Z Flip 8, including:
Next-gen flat-folding display technology
Improved hinge mechanism
Improved battery endurance
One UI 7 (based on Android 15)
Deep integration of AI in the camera setup
But Most of the Chatter Is: Will Samsung be using the Snapdragon Chip from its Own Foundry?
With this, it would get to show its process in chip-making and, in the process, global tech leadership. And not just the Flip 8 could be impacted; the future Galaxy S series could most likely be affected, too.
Heaven knows it's going to be a game-changer, especially when powered by the Samsung-made Snapdragon 8 Gen 5: Galaxy Z Flip 8. While nothing is set in stone, the tech world waits with bated breath. Stay tuned for updates!
