Samsung Galaxy Fold8 series and Z Flip8 coverage wrap-up

Yesterday, Samsung introduced the third new model of the Galaxy foldable line-up – confusingly, it’s called the Galaxy Z Fold8, but it is not a Z Fold7 successor. Instead, it is a new (for Samsung) form factor that combines a 16:10 cover display with a 4:3 inner display. The Z Fold7 successor is called the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra now. With the magic of Silicon-Carbon, it has a 5,000mAh battery – 600mAh more than its predecessor. There’s also the Galaxy Z Flip8, which is slimmer and lighter, but there is no Flip FE this time around. And both the Flip and the Fold got more expensive. You...

Here is the pricing breakdown for the Galaxy Z Fold8 series and the Z Flip8

We’re still at the Galaxy Unpacked event that brought the Galaxy Z Flip8, the Galaxy Z Fold8 and the Z Fold8 Ultra. If you want a closer look, we have a hands-on comparison of the Z Fold8 duo.

Report: TSMC is planning to raise chip prices in 2027

The rising prices of semiconductor products are not showing signs of slowing down. Nikkei Asia reports that TSMC will raise prices by up to 10% starting next year, which is bad news for its clients – the likes of Nvidia, Apple, Qualcomm, AMD and Intel – and that in turn will be bad news for their customers.
