The Galaxy Z Flip 8 is available for pre-order, and Samsung has made some legitimate improvements to the phone. It features a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset and a slimmer chassis, which I did notice while holding the device. Samsung’s also improved the cover screen experience, with new specialized widgets and cards. However, the improvements came at a cost, as the Galaxy Z Flip 8 now starts at $1,200 — a $100 increase over the previous generation. It’s also not clear that Samsung fully understands what buyers want, as the Z Flip 8 still lacks some important upgrades. Thankfully, if the Galaxy Z Flip 8 didn’t hit the mark for you, here are five excellent alternatives that deserve a spot in your pocket.
