According to reports, Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 8 may not include the upgraded titanium backplate seen in the Galaxy Z Fold 7 model. The company is reportedly exploring the use of carbon fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) or titanium for the backplate due to uncertainties in the supply chain.
Key highlights:
• Samsung introduced a titanium backplate in Galaxy Z Fold 7 for structural integrity.
• The shift to CFRP or titanium in Galaxy Z Fold 8 may be due to supply chain disruptions.
• The ongoing tariff dispute between China and the US is a primary factor.
• Samsung is working on reintroducing S Pen support in future foldable models.
The decision reflects Samsung’s strategic adaptation to global supply challenges in the tech sector.
