Samsung’s Newest Foldable is Here!

Finally, a classic gadget week! First, it's all about the Garmin Cirqa, the newest Whoop competitor to enter the fray. Then Marques, Andrew, and David debate whether the new Lite Flip minimal phone is worth the asking price. Once the dust settles, it's all about the newest Samsung Z Flip 8, Z Fold 8, and Z Fold 8 Ultra. After that, Marques tries to explain something in tech terms, David talks about the new Peak Design field bracket, and the crew discusses new reporting that Apple is going to start a leasing program as early as next week. Of course, we wrap it all up with trivia. Enjoy!
