EDITORIAL: For the first time, Samsung added DeX to a flip phone finally putting Flip line into it's flagship tier. Main camera takes lovely pics, portraits and selfies at both 1x and 2x. The phone grew 3mm in width, has a bigger (but lower rez) screen and a 300mAh battery size upgrade. Software is excellent, loaded with features and AI tricks and comes with industry leading "7 years of updates" promise. The processor is not quite flagship: Exynos 2500 struggles to compete with last year's Snapdragon and Mediatec top dogs. This is a great foldable if you're a Samsung fan or in a market with limited foldable phones choices.
