There's no difference between a $2,000 and $900 foldable. You need to be everything for me to get me to spend that much.
This week's newsletter was obviously going to be a dump of all our coverage of Samsung Galaxy Unpacked. Ron and I covered the company's foldables event in Brooklyn, from the press-only content capture to the actual Unpacked event itself. We spent some time with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7, touching and holding them. We also saw the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE and the refreshed Galaxy Watch 8, which I'll be testing as soon as I finish my review of the OnePlus Watch 3 in 43mm.
Overall, it was an especially fruitful week for those in the Samsung ecosystem with disposable income. If you're planning on spending upwards of $2,000 on the next Galaxy Z Fold 7, I'd love to talk to you. Are you enamored by the fact that Samsung adopted the 200-MP camera from the Galaxy S25 Ultra, even though the protruding lens turns the Z Fold 7 into a telegraph for tapping out Morse code? The improved camera sensor is a step in the right direction. But call me when Samsung incorporates nearly everything from the Ultra into the Fold, and then we can discuss the justification of that price tag.
This week's episode featured Huyen, Jason, and Ron with a preview of Galaxy Unpacked the eve before. Plus, Android Faithful's exclusive interview with Robby Stein from Google. We discuss how to utilize Search's integrated AI Mode.
