## What will it have? (today's facts are from Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8)

- **Will the battery last longer?** Nothing has been reported yet. The Galaxy Z Flip8 runs 31 hours of video playback on a 4,300mAh dual cell, which is a long day out of a phone that folds into a pocket. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/phones/galaxy-z-flip/roadmap#can-will-the-battery-last-longer))
- **Will it cost more?** Reported: Retailers list €1,299 for 256GB and €1,499 for 512GB in Europe. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/phones/galaxy-z-flip/roadmap#can-will-it-cost-more))
- **Will it still handle a shower or a swim?** Expect the same as today, which is a shower but not a swim. The Galaxy Z Flip8 is IP48, so it survives immersion, but the 4 means only solids larger than a millimetre are kept out and grit near the hinge is the risk.

## Questions

### How much will the Galaxy Z Flip 9 cost?

No price has been reported. The Flip 8 launched at $1,199.99 in August 2026, so that is the best guide until a price is set. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/phones/galaxy-z-flip/roadmap#faq-how-much-will-the-galaxy-z-flip-9-cost))

### When does the Galaxy Z Flip 9 come out?

Samsung has not set a date. Reporting places it in the second half of 2027, and Samsung has unveiled every Flip since 2021 at a July or August Unpacked, with sales starting about two weeks later. That points to a reveal around July 2027 and an on-sale date in late July or August. Treat it as our estimate from Samsung's pattern, not a reported date. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/phones/galaxy-z-flip/roadmap#faq-when-does-the-galaxy-z-flip-9-come-out))

### Should I buy the Galaxy Z Flip 8 now or wait for the Flip 9?

Buy the Flip 8 if you want a Flip this year. The Flip 9 is most likely around ten months away and nothing about its hardware has been reported, so there is no known upgrade to wait for. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/phones/galaxy-z-flip/roadmap#faq-should-i-buy-the-galaxy-z-flip-8-now-or-wait-for-the-flip-9))

### Is the Galaxy Z Flip 9 confirmed?

No. It appears in credible reporting about Samsung's 2027 flagship roadmap: 9to5Google has relayed both an ETNews lineup and a Galaxy Club report naming it. Samsung has announced nothing. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/phones/galaxy-z-flip/roadmap#faqs-is-the-galaxy-z-flip-9-confirmed))
