Samsung said to discontinue its Galaxy Z Flip lineup after the Flip8
GSMArena.com • • general
Key Points:
- A reputable Chinese tipster suggests Samsung may discontinue its Galaxy Z Flip lineup, with the Galaxy Z Flip8 potentially being the final model.
- Previous rumors about ending the Flip series were not widely credible, but current market conditions make the possibility more plausible.
- Rising RAM and component costs are driving up smartphone prices, as seen with Motorola's recent Razr 70 series, which may impact the viability of foldable devices.
- Few clamshell-style foldables are available in Western markets, with most brands like Oppo, Xiaomi, and Honor withdrawing or never launching these models outside China, leaving Samsung and Motorola as the main players.
- It remains uncertain if Samsung will fully discontinue the Flip series or temporarily pause it after the Flip8 release.
