The topic Samsung accidentally confirms Galaxy Z Flip 8 chip choice<\/strong> is currently the subject of lively discussion \u2014 readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.<\/p>\n

This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies\u2019 decisions and competitors\u2019 reactions can quickly change the picture.<\/p>\n

Samsung exclusively used the Exynos 2500 chip in the Galaxy Z Flip 7, making it the first time the company had used in-house processors in any foldable phone. We expected the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 8 to be an Exynos-only affair too, but it now looks like we\u2019re in for a change.<\/p>\n

We recently covered Samsung\u2019s FCC filings for its upcoming foldable phones, and we even spotted signs that the Galaxy Z Fold 8 or Wide Fold could be equipped with a Snapdragon processor. We returned to the Galaxy Z Flip 8\u2019s filing today for a closer look and discovered it will indeed use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor. Check out the screenshot below, which lists the chip\u2019s SM8850 model number alongside the US Galaxy Z Flip 8 (SM-F776U).<\/p>\n

This all but guarantees that the Z Flip 8 will have a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip in the US. However, this doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that the phone will have the same chip everywhere. Tipster Ice Universe recently claimed that Snapdragon variants will be available in China and the US at the very least. So it\u2019s possible that most other markets, like Europe and South Korea, could get the Exynos version.<\/p>\n

The dual-chip strategy is likely good news for Samsung\u2019s bottom line, as the Exynos 2600 chip is thought to be cheaper than the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. And a cheaper chip is important in the wake of skyrocketing RAM and storage costs. However, Qualcomm\u2019s recent chips have typically offered better CPU performance than Exynos silicon, and are also preferred by gaming enthusiasts. But we\u2019re keen to see how the two variants compare in terms of performance, battery life, and camera quality.<\/p>\n
