Samsung has brought a new look to foldable phones with a thinner and lighter appearance. The device, which weighs only 215 grams and is only 8.9 mm thick, resembles a standard phone while having an 8-inch display inside, Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, 200MP camera, and software that is specially designed for folding. A true step toward mainstream foldables.
