Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra vs Galaxy Z Fold 7 — are this year's upgrades really worth it?
Is the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra really a worthy upgrade over the Galaxy Z Fold 7? We put both phones to the test
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra brings several upgrades over its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Fold 7, but is it worth the upgrade for consumers? The Z Fold 8 Ultra is more expensive than the Z Fold 7, starting at $2,199 for a 12GB/256GB configuration, compared to the Z Fold 7's $1,999 starting price. However, the Z Fold 8 Ultra offers improved durability, a brighter and more glare-resistant screen, and a custom "for Galaxy" chipset for enhanced performance.
The Galaxy Z Fold 7, priced at $1,999 for a 12GB/256GB model, has been on sale since last July and is likely to see price reductions in the wake of the Z Fold 8 Ultra's release. Ultimately, consumers must weigh the additional cost and features to determine which foldable best suits their needs.
