Samsung's new folding phone costs more but barely changes

Samsung's new foldable phone, the Galaxy Z Flip 8, starts at $1,200 — $100 more than last year's model. Reviewers at The Verge call the hardware "almost unchanged" and "mostly a rehash." On sale since August 7, it still lacks dust resistance, a long-standing weakness. Worth flagging: the price hike pays for software updates, not hardware improvements.
