India price placeholder inside; embargo lifts 22 July.Every farewell tour has a moment when the band walks out, plugs in, and plays like the obituaries were written by cowards. At Samsung's Old Billingsgate launch — six devices under the vaulted gloom of London's old fish market, dressed like Q Branch on open evening — that moment belonged to the smallest plinth in the room. The Galaxy Z Flip 8 sat there in Pink, drawing half the traffic of the Fold tables, carrying a rumour on its shoulders: this could be the last Flip Samsung ever makes. I got fifteen minutes with it, the shortest leash of the night. Fifteen minutes was enough to form the only verdict that matters: if this is the farewell, the Flip is leaving at the top of its game.About The AuthorAt heart, I am a storyteller drawn to the watershed moments that bend the technology landscape. I braid narrative with data, humanise statistics, and trace the arc from first spark to world-changing impact. My reportage, features and reviews are witty, sardonic, visual and vivid, using anecdote to illuminate rather than eviscerate.
