Samsung launched its latest foldable devices today, including the Galaxy Z Flip8, Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, and the new Galaxy Z Fold8, which has a design similar to what we’ve come to expect from the foldable iPhone coming out in September. We were able to take a look at the new Samsung foldables before their launch. The Galaxy ZFold 8 Ultra has a 6.5-inch cover screen when closed and an 8-inch screen when unfolded.

An aperture is the opening inside a camera lens that allows light to pass through.
