Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 May Cut Costs and Features, Including S Pen Support

Samsung is considering replacing the titanium backplate of the Galaxy Z Fold 8 with a carbon fiber-reinforced plastic one to cut costs due to supply chain issues caused by the US-China trade war, which may slightly reduce durability but will make the device cheaper to produce. The move is based on reports and should be taken with caution, especially since the Galaxy Z Fold 7 still features a titanium backplate and offers a promotional deal.
