Samsung's latest Galaxy Z Fold 8 teaser hints at the chip we've been expecting

According to multiple reports, Samsung will launch its first smartphone with a book-style foldable display featuring a 4:3 aspect ratio, the Galaxy Z Fold 8, later this month, alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and the Galaxy Z Flip 8. 

Leaks and rumours about the Galaxy Z Fold 8 claim that it will feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy chipset. Now, the two tech giants have released a teaser for the phone that hints at the same thing.

On Instagram, Samsung and Qualcomm have shared a video showing the silhouette of what appears to be a smartphone with a 4:3 aspect ratio display (most likely the Galaxy Z Fold 8), being powered by a Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset. Below are a few screenshots from the video.

While the teaser doesn't explicitly confirm the chipset's full branding, it strongly suggests that the Galaxy Z Fold 8 will be powered by a Snapdragon processor, lending further credibility to previous reports that it will feature Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy chipset.
