Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 might have a downgraded hardware component | Infinium-tech

Samsung launched the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which is its thinnest and lightest book-style so far. Today, Samsung’s Korea’s house already has rumors about its successor, Galaxy Z Fold 8, which if nothing changes in Samsung’s general program, should be launched in next July.

The company is now considering both titanium and carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), stating that it is for backplate material for fold 8. This is notable as the prejudices of Fold 7 from the Galaxy Z Fold 3 have used CFRP, but the fold 7 has converted itself into titanium, which has been seen in the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition since last year.

Titanium was used to reduce thickness in fold 7, and with the removal of digitizer for S Pen, it cut it by 0.6 mm. However, metals can probably interfere with S Pen, at least electromagnetic resonant technology that is using Samsung.

The company is currently asked to develop a technique to create a digitizer slimmer, and thus pen support is resumed – perhaps the next year. The demand for this is clearly quite strong. Samsung can also adopt a digitizer-less technique, such as an active electrostatic solution employed by Apple Pencil, in which it can continue to use a metal backplate with fear of intervention in any way.

Another reason is that it is testing the option of titanium, especially with concerns related to supply about American tariff war. Samsung basically wants to ensure that sudden changes in supply chains do not remove it from the guard. Of course we are still far from the launch of fold 8, so a lot of things can change. We will keep posting you.

Meanwhile, do not remember our Galaxy Z fold 7 reviews, it is published freshly.
