GSMArena reported that its team has received the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 for review, completing its set of the company's latest foldables alongside the Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra. According to the outlet, the Galaxy Z Flip8 amounts to a Galaxy Z Flip7 fitted with a newer chipset and a pink finish, and it described Samsung's changes to the flip foldable as restrained.
Separately, Android Authority reported that the Samsung Galaxy S26 FE has appeared in a leaked unboxing video ahead of its official launch on August 27. The footage reportedly shows a glossy finish in a color referred to as 'Blueberry', flat sides, a triple-camera setup, and uniform bezels, along with the retail box. The outlet noted that additional leaks point to a 6.7-inch 120Hz display, an Exynos 2500 chip, and One UI 9.0 preinstalled.
