Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 8 climbs to $1,200 with largely unchanged hardware

Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 8 starts at $1,200, up $100 from the Z Flip 7, despite The Verge calling the hardware "almost unchanged year-on-year" and "mostly a rehash." On sale since August 7, it remains dust-vulnerable — a persistent Flip limitation. Worth flagging: the price increase funds software, not hardware, gains.
