How ‘Ultra’ are the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra's cameras? I put them to the test against the Galaxy S26 Ultra
I put the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra to the test against the Galaxy S26 Ultra to see if its camera performance is "Ultra" worthy.
In testing the camera performance of the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra against the Galaxy S26 Ultra, several key differences emerged. While both devices share a 200MP main camera and a 50MP ultrawide sensor, the S26 Ultra boasts a wider f/1.4 aperture, superior low-light capabilities, dual telephoto lenses with a 5x optical zoom, and a 12MP selfie camera - features the Z Fold 8 Ultra lacks.
In a side-by-side comparison, the Z Fold 8 Ultra displayed sharper details and clarity in a 200MP photo option, while the S26 Ultra excelled in color rendering, dynamic range, and overall exposure balance. The S26 Ultra's superior dynamic range allowed it to handle bright backgrounds and shadows more effectively, producing a more natural-looking portrait. Consequently, the Galaxy S26 Ultra outperformed the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra in camera performance.
