Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is set to be its most advanced foldable yet, but it still doesn’t replace the Galaxy S Ultra for some users. While the Fold series showcases Samsung’s engineering prowess with its innovative design, it has historically lagged behind in areas like camera quality and battery life compared to the Galaxy S Ultra. This year, the Fold 8 Ultra promises significant improvements, including a larger 5,000mAh battery, faster charging, and a new 50MP ultrawide camera. However, the Galaxy S26 Ultra continues to lead with features like the Privacy Display and superior zoom capabilities. Despite the Fold’s advancements, it still falls short in certain aspects, and with a likely price increase, some users, like the author, remain loyal to the Galaxy S Ultra. Until the Fold can match the comprehensive flagship experience of the S Ultra, it remains an impressive device to admire from a distance.
