Samsung has just launched the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which is still its thinner and lightest book -style foldable. Today, Samsung’s home in Korea is already rumored about his successor, Galaxy Z Fold 8, which, if nothing changes in the usual Samsung schedule, should be launched on July next July.
It is said that the company is now considering both titanium and carbon fiber plastic (CFRP) for back plate material for Fold 8. This is noteworthy because the predecessor of Fold 7 of the Galaxy Z Fold 3 has used CFRP, but Fold 7 itself has been converted into titanium, which was previously seen in the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition since last year.

Fold 7 was used to reduce titanium thickness, and with removing digitizer for S pen, it has reduced it to 0.6 mm. However, metals can potentially interfere with the pen, at least the electromagnetic resonance -based tech that is using Samsung.
It is said that the company is currently developing a technology to make the digiter thinner, and thus reproducing the support of the pen – maybe with next year. Its demand is seemingly strong. Samsung can even adopt less technology than digitizers, such as the active electro strategic solution used by Apple Pencil, in this case it can safely use the use of metal back plates without fear of interference.
Another reason for this is that he is examining the replacement of the titanium, especially with concerns about supply of US tariff war. Samsung basically wants to make sure that the sudden changes in the supply chain do not remove it from the protector. Of course we are still far from the launch of Fold 8, so many things can change. We will continue to post you.
