Automated excerpt
With the Galaxy Z Flip 8, Samsung has given in. Although the Z Flip 8’s hardware is almost unchanged year-on-year, Samsung has fundamentally rethought how this phone is meant to be used when shut. The Z Flip 8 is 0. 6mm thinner and 8g lighter than its predecessor. Given the speculation that the short, wide Z Fold 8 could replace the Flip form factor as Samsung’s “small phone that unfolds to a big phone,” it makes sense to close the gap between them. The Z Fold 8 is definitely bigger than the Z Flip 8.
