Using Snapdragon in the new &#8220;wide&#8221; models will also help avoid the problems that often come with first-generation products.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_L\">\n<p>It is still unclear which chip the Flip 8 will use. Samsung may introduce Snapdragon in the US and Exynos elsewhere, or it may still be deciding. Since Samsung is showing more confidence in its own chips, there&#8217;s a good chance the Flip 8 could use the Exynos 2600 worldwide.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_L\">\n<p>Still, nothing has been confirmed until Samsung&#8217;s Summer Unpacked event, which is expected to take place in July 2026. The price is also unknown. Except for the wider Fold 8 Wide model, there have been minor changes to the design of the Fold 8 and Flip 8.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-container-type=\"content\">\n<div class=\"e_Cc e_L\">\n<p>Thank you for being a part of our community.
