What makes the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra so Ultra? Samsung\u2019s first foldable with the Ultra name isn\u2019t a souped-up version of the regular Fold 8, as you might expect. Where the Z Fold 8<\/a> is squat and wide, the Fold 8 Ultra retains the thin outer screen and square inner panel of the previous Folds. It does have a substantially better triple rear camera system and a slightly larger battery. But with no support for the S Pen stylus and no Privacy Display, it\u2019s not Ultra in the same way as the Galaxy S26 Ultra<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But compare it to last year\u2019s Z Fold 7<\/a> and the upgrades look more substantial. Samsung has improved the displays, battery, charging, cameras, chipset, and crease. Most of these are only iterative, but taken together the package is impressive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Does that make it Ultra? I don\u2019t know, and it doesn\u2019t really matter. This is a meaningfully more capable phone than last year\u2019s, albeit for $100 more, and it offers something different than its wider new sibling. Samsung will have to hope that\u2019s enough to hold up against whatever Apple has coming with its expected foldable iPhone next month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
