  "summary": "A Samsung Galaxy user's home screen was once just a grid of apps, but they transformed it into a productivity hub. The home screen previously looked clean but did not help with organization or completing tasks efficiently.\n\nThere are several Samsung Galaxy foldable phones, including the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. According to Tom's Guide, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra starts at $2,099, while the Galaxy Z Fold 7 starts at $1,999. Both phones have an 8-inch AMOLED main display and a 6.5-inch AMOLED cover display.\n\nThe Galaxy Z Fold 8 has a new shape, being shorter and wider than its predecessor, making it suitable for reading, watching movies, or playing games. TechRadar mentions cases and covers are available for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 from brands like Spigen and Otterbox.",
