Samsung has just confirmed that the next wave of Galaxy Foldables will arrive on July 22, at a special Galaxy Unpacked event in London. The company has also confirmed a major piece of hardware for the phone, promising that the Galaxy Z Fold 8 will be powered by the same Samsung Galaxy 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy chipset as the Galaxy S26 series.
While the inclusion of the chip seems obvious, it's actually surprising to see that Samsung is utilizing the custom "For Galaxy" chip in a foldable. While Qualcomm has provided custom Snapdragon chips for Samsung for the past four generations, starting with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy, this will be the first time we see one used to power a foldable.
