“The Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra offers a big upgrade over its predecessor with higher-quality inner screen with a smaller crease and anti-reflective coating, a larger battery, faster charging, a new ultrawide cam. There's also a host of new software features that further refine the foldable experience in general.”

“In some ways, it's amazing that a device like this exists. It's hardly any more bulky than a traditional smartphone, but it's a tablet that fits in your pocket. There's almost no crease in the screen, and the hinge is rock-solid. Heck, you can even drop it in a pool, and it will keep ticking (IP48). The cameras, battery life, and performance aren't as compromised as they were with past foldables, either.”

“The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra lets you have it all in your pocket: power, screen real estate, and a high-resolution camera system that's almost as capable as Samsung's flagships—except for zoom. But it's also the priciest foldable out of the gate, and its large size may not appeal to everyone.”

“The rebranded Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is a small but significant step forward from last year’s Z Fold 7, making it the finest book-style foldable you can buy. The problem? For most people, the new wide Z Fold 8 is a better choice, and it’s significantly cheaper to boot.”
