Samsung surprised us this year with two new foldables. And honestly, it's a little confusing at first, but eventually, when you see the phones, you realise Samsung's new foldable playbook. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 brings an all-new design and a wider form factor that garners all the attention because it looks genuinely new. And then there's this one, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, which keeps the tall, narrow shape Samsung has been quietly refining since last year with the Z Fold 7.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra Summary

Samsung has fixed almost everything with last year's Fold 7. The display crease on the main display is nearly gone, the screen handles sunlight better now, the battery is bigger on paper, and the performance is legitimately flagship-tier. The camera's better too, mostly thanks to a much-improved ultrawide lens. What didn't get fixed is the telephoto camera, and the design, which still looks like last year's phone. Add in another price hike, and "Ultra" starts to feel more like a marketing gimmick.

Feels like a phone and tablet in one

Aarav Sharma (Aug 7, 2026) on Gadgets 360

The screen is the first thing that impressed me. It feels like carrying a small tablet that folds into a proper phone. Multitasking between email and documents is fantastic, and the cameras are finally on the same level as the rest of the Ultra experience.

Fantastic gaming and media phone

Rahul Khanna (Aug 8, 2026) on Gadgets 360

Gaming on the 8-inch display is fantastic. The cooling also seems to keep performance steady during long sessions. This is the first foldable I have used that feels like a real all-rounder.

I use the big screen constantly

Sonia Suri (Aug 17, 2026) on Gadgets 360

This is the first foldable that has made me want to use the inner screen for almost everything. Video, browsing, reading and work all feel better on it.

A proper flagship foldable

Arjun Singh (Aug 3, 2026) on Gadgets 360

The 200MP camera is seriously impressive in daylight, and the zoom is very useful when travelling. I also love how quickly the big screen turns into a full workspace for messages, mail and Chrome.

Big screen without the bulk

Neha Mehta (Aug 4, 2026) on Gadgets 360

What surprised me most is how light the Fold8 Ultra feels for such a big phone. The hinge is smooth, the display is gorgeous and the battery comfortably gets me through busy days.
