Samsung Spider-Man Box Unboxing: Galaxy Z Flip 8 and Watch

Quick summary: Samsung sent me a Spider-Man “Brand New Day” themed box with a black Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and a white Galaxy Z Flip 8. The box is purely cosmetic. The devices are standard, not special Spider-Man editions, but it’s a really cool unboxing.

The box

It has Samsung branding and Spider-Man movie art on the sides, with Spider-Man paper covering the devices inside. Samsung should put all its phones in boxes like this and sell a special edition.

Galaxy Watch Ultra 2

This one is black. I’ve been wearing the silver for weeks, and the band snaps on super easily.

• Battery: over 2.5 days, enough to sleep in it two nights, maybe three depending on your settings. That’s the biggest upgrade over the regular watches.
• Haptics: next level.
• Screen: really bright.

I was sleeping on the Watch Ultras.

Galaxy Z Flip 8

I’d only tried it briefly at Unpacked. It’s thinner, more powerful with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, and the crease is improved. White looks great, and I wouldn’t mind it on the Fold 8 or 8 Ultra.

• Closed, it’s almost a mini Galaxy Z Fold 8. The cover screen runs basically any app, plays video and works as a viewfinder for the rear cameras (photo, portrait and video, with lens switching), plus quick toggles and notifications.
• Open, it’s the tall, skinny phone a lot of people want, and you can prop it up half-folded.
• The fingerprint sensor feels a bit high to me because the phone is so tall.

More Flip 8 videos are coming.
