Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra Review: The Right Shape
Nearly a decade after its debut, Samsung’s Galaxy Fold finally comes into its own.
Samsung's long-awaited redesign of folding smartphones arrives in the form of the Galaxy Z Fold8 and its larger sibling, the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra. After weeks of hands-on experience, it becomes evident that the Fold8 is the superior choice for most users. The Ultra's taller display hinders usability, and its cumbersome hinge is less convenient to open.
Although the Ultra boasts a superior camera, the Fold8's design and broader application reach outweigh its camera shortcomings. Both devices feature a refined crease, and the Fold8's camera placement is less intrusive. Battery life is marginally better with the Ultra, but the Fold8 remains satisfying overall. The Fold8's specs and performance rival its pricier counterpart, while offering a more comfortable and intuitive user experience.
