Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 review - the smartphone to open the floodgates for new foldable users
The foldable’s BlackBerry-like closed shape makes it easier to use one-handed, while carrier and retailer deals can cut the nearly $2,000 price.

- While Motorola remains a strong competitor, the Flip8 stands out as the best flip-style smartphone of the year, blending elegant design with high-end power for new foldable users.
