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.
I’m a computer science engineer living in Hyderabad, India, who has a keen interest in automobiles and consumer electronics. My journalism career kicked off in 2017 with MySmartPrice where I wrote news, features, buying guides, and explanatory articles about technology among other things, and reviewed many products, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, PC components, smartwatches, audio devices, wearables, and smart home products. Since then, I have worked for 91Mobiles, Apple, and Onsitego, before finally landing on SamMobile.
