I’ve always had a soft spot for flip phones. There’s something undeniably charming and incredibly cute about them, and Samsung has been nailing the formula for years. The Galaxy Z Flip is pocketable, the cover screen handles most tasks, and its compact design somehow makes me want to pick it up even when I don’t need to. That’s exactly why I look forward to every new Galaxy Z Flip launch, and why I was especially excited to get my hands on the Galaxy Z Flip 8.So when I came across the latest rumor, I won’t lie — it completely took the wind out of my sails. The idea that Samsung could end the Flip series after the Galaxy Z Flip 8 is genuinely disappointing, and I really hope it’s wide of the mark.
