Plastic screens you had to baby. Hinges that let dust in. A crease down the middle you could feel under your thumb. They were remarkable and slightly nerve-wracking, often in the same minute.<\/p>\n    <br \/>\n\n    <p>Now look at what's on sale. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozillion.com\/bundle\/samsung\/galaxy-z-fold-8\">Galaxy Z Fold 8<\/a>, thinner than two \u00a31 coins stacked on top of each other. Samsung slipped a titanium film beneath the panel, branded Flex Titanium, and reviewers are describing the crease as near enough invisible rather than \"better than last year\".<\/p>\n    <br \/>\n\n    <p>Apple went even further. The iPhone Duo measures, which makes it the thinnest device Apple has ever built. That's the leap. 6 years ago a foldable was a brilliant prototype you paid to test. Today it's simply a very good phone that happens to open.<\/p>\n\n    <!-- \u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500 BIGGER SCREENS \u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500 -->\n    <div class=\"moz-section\">\n      <h2>Bigger screens without a bigger phone<\/h2>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <p>This was always the promise.

Samsung moved the inner screen to a 4:3 ratio, so open it reads like a paperback rather than a stretched phone. Web pages, PDFs, comics, recipes, match stats, they fill the screen instead of floating between black bars. It's the difference between a big screen and a useful big screen.<\/p>\n    <br \/>\n\n    <p>And Samsung's <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samsung.com\/us\/smartphones\/galaxy-z-trifold\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Galaxy Z TriFold<\/a> shows where this goes next: a 6.5-inch phone that unfolds to a full 10 inches, at 3.9mm thick at its slimmest.

A foldable transforms in your hand. Flips snap shut with a click that lands somewhere between satisfying and nostalgic. Folds open like a book.
