Good morning! We’re in your inbox early with all the Samsung phone news you could possibly unfold 📱🗺️: the new sizes, what they mean for the market, the coming Apple foldable competitor and an interview with one of Samsung’s top executives.
Plus: a new Light phone that’s basically the anti-foldable, Apple’s device-leasing program, OpenAI’s rogue hacking model and, naturally, watching “The Odyssey” on the tiniest screen possible—just as Christopher Nolan intended. 🎬
What’s the difference between a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, Fold 8 and Flip 8? Two fold, one flips and all three unfold your wallet. (Sorry.)

Apple is expected to unveil its first foldable iPhone in September and RAMmageddon continues to drive up all consumer electronics prices.
I spoke with one of Samsung’s top executives about Apple’s expected entry into the market and Samsung’s own seven-year head start. But first, let’s break down the differences between the three devices, so you don’t have to run the product names through a Samsung-to-human translator.
See you on Friday! This newsletter was written and curated by Joanna Stern and Adele Lowitz.
