Galaxy Z Fold 8 has a smaller selfie camera cutout, leak claims
The Galaxy Z Fold 8 sounds pretty familiar based on initial leaks, but Samsung is apparently making a tweak to the selfie camera cutout that sounds interesting, but I’m curious if it’s something anyone really cares about. According to Ice Universe, Samsung will shrink the Galaxy Z Fold 8’s selfie camera cutout, on the outer display, by a considerable margin. Side-by-side, the different looks are immediately noticeable. Where the Fold 7’s cutout is 3.7mm, the Fold 8 drops that to 2.5mm (in diameter). Fold 7 Fold 8 As mentioned, it looks like a pretty big difference, and reclaiming screen space while making cutouts less noticeable is always nice to see. But, was this really important? I’m a Galaxy Z Fold 7 user on the daily – I bought this phone with my own money. It’s a great device, but one where Samsung has plenty of room for improvement. Heat management, battery life (and size), dust down the hinge crease, and more are places I’d love to see improvements long before the selfie camera cutout ever comes to mind. Samsung is certainly capable enough to fix more than one problem at a time but, as the industry continues to move forward, I’m really hoping there wasn’t much time spent on this versus the laundry list of other problems that need to be addressed… Am I alone?

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Tipped to Get a Smaller Selfie Camera Punch Hole
TL; DR The Galaxy Z Fold8 is tipped to use a smaller 2.5 mm selfie camera punch hole on the cover display. That is down from the 3.7 mm cutout used on the Galaxy Z Fold7. This pretty much confirms that Samsung currently has no plans to bring back the under-display selfie camera. A new leak from Ice Universe suggests the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 will bring a smaller front camera cutout on the cover screen. According to the shared details, the selfie camera punch hole will measure 2.5 mm in diameter. For comparison, the current Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 (review) uses a 3.7 mm punch hole. Side-by-side images shared by the tipster show the difference clearly, with the new opening looking less noticeable on the display. What Changes This Time Fold7 Fold8 The leak claims Samsung is using a revised camera module that allows the sensor to sit behind a smaller opening while keeping camera performance intact. Samsung has tested under-display cameras in the past, though image quality limitations meant visible cutouts remained the preferred option for the Fold lineup.

Current reports also suggest the inner foldable display will continue using a visible camera cutout instead of moving to hidden camera tech. Launch Timeline Separate CAD leaks have suggested the Galaxy Z Fold8 may keep a similar footprint to its predecessor, with a slightly thicker body that could make room for a 5,000 mAh battery and possible S Pen support. Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy Z Fold8 in July 2026 alongside the Galaxy Z Flip8, Z Flip8 FE, and the new Wide Fold8.
