Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 8 is its best clamshell yet, but a $100 price hike buys very little.
The Galaxy Z Flip 8 went on sale August 7 at $1,199.99 for 256GB, exactly $100 more than the Flip 7.
U.S. models use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy, scoring 3,627 single-core and 11,215 multi-core in Geekbench 6.
The 6.9-inch screen hit 2,150 nits versus 1,989 on the Flip 7, and the phone drops to 180 grams.
Same 4,300mAh cell and 25W charging. Tom's Guide's test lasted 12 hours 50 minutes, just 26 minutes longer than the Flip 7.
The best Flip yet, but Flip 7 owners should skip it. Wait for discounts like Samsung's up to $150 off.
