Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 series is here, but the innovation spark seems missing. As a Z Fold 6 user, this year’s confusing lineup—splitting into a stumpy standard model and an ultra-thin Fold 8 Ultra—feels more like playing it safe than leading the market. With Chinese competitors offering better specs for less and rumors of the Z Flip being killed off, has the tech giant lost its edge? Here is why I’m skipping this annual upgrade and holding out for true innovation.

From the Galaxy Note days to the latest Z Fold and Flip, I’ve been a loyal Samsung fan. But with the release of the Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7, I’m asking myself: is now the time to upgrade… or is the missing S Pen support a dealbreaker?
