Samsung has increasingly established itself in the field of folding smartphones since the introduction of the first Fold. And so far we have seen developments and sales figures that tend to confirm that this format could have a future.
This is particularly throughice universe as we learn that Samsung’s next folding smartphones could potentially use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, a variant of the latest classic Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.

The information would be “100% reliable” according to him, but let’s take the statement with a grain of salt while we wait to learn a little more. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus would bring more performance to future products from the start, which a recent rumor says might also be joined by a brand new foldable smartphone format.
A Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus, produced by TSMC
The Qualcomm chip in question would not be produced by Samsung but by TSMC. Keep in mind that the brand’s latest folders (Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3) used the Snapdragon 888, which was also used by the American versions of the S21. And this despite the fact that the Snapdragon 888 Plus was already available at launch.
In terms of design, we’ve been able to find devices very similar to their predecessors, with some screen improvements and possibly an S Pen slot in the Z Fold 4. Samsung’s foldable smartphone event should happen this summer if all goes well. We hope to find a lot of new things there, especially since some hypotheses are already doing well.
