“Galaxy Z Flip 8. The new generation of Samsung's clamshell brings truly cosmetic changes.”

“So, right here and now, I don't see any reason why anyone in their right mind would aim for the new models as long as the predecessor can be snagged for even a bit cheaper. And in the face of competition from Motorola, which currently has about five or even six clamshell models on sale in various price ranges, some more than twice as cheap, then it's even more so.”

“Otherwise, this is gonna be a safe, incremental upgrade, which is right in line with what we've been expecting from Samsung.”

“is being 8 grams lighter and... half a millimeter thinner going to make a difference to someone who has last year's phone or the year before? No.”

“So, this year's Flip phone feels like a very simple tidy up. It's again easier to open up while also being thinner and lighter than any previous Z Flip by a decent amount. To be fair, last year's was 6.5 mm unfolded. Here it's 6.1. And the frame is supposedly 10% more durable, however on earth that's being calculated.”

“Both can be true, but the one big change this time is what's happening on this front flex window screen. The bezels have further shrunk down, by the way [...] And what it's making way for is how all of a sudden you now have a dedicated home screen on your cover screen. And almost anything that you can do with the phone open, you can now do closed. This has been a long time coming.”

“My favorite thing about the Z Flip phones has always been the friction that they create. They let you check the time whenever. They let you see that a notification's come in whenever. But so far, when you've wanted to do really anything much more than that on a flip phone, you've had to truly decide, is this task important enough for me to open the phone and risk a doomcrolling spiral. So, all of a sudden, making everything accessible on the cover screen actually negates the intentionality that first drew me to the flip.”

“When it comes to the Flip, this seems to be an entry-level product for anyone wondering if it's worth switching to a foldable smartphone.”

“The Flip also got this better battery, which in the same form factor and the same size is supposed to give the phone more longevity. This was the biggest problem with the Flip, that many people complained about the batteries running out too quickly. It seems like it will be a bit better now.”

“Samsung has made the Flip 8 the thinnest and lightest flip phone out there.”

“the Galaxy Flip might finally be giving the RAZR a run for its money in the cover display department.”

“It's basically an AI/tiny kind of iterative update for it. It doesn't matter. This is a fantastic phone.”

“I completely understand why it's so popular. But I'm I'm a regular fold kind of guy. This isn't for me.”

“I've always had this thought that this would be such a cool thing to carry and some people love it. I mean, one-handed functionality here is unbelievable.”

“The camera function is cool. We're using our good camera. We're shooting. We got a tripod everywhere we go. That's got to be like a core aspect of this device. Like what other phones can really do that on your good camera without any kind of external gear or way of standing something up?”
