I Folded My Galaxy S24 Ultra Into Retirement
on August 7, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I want to be clear that I did not want to like this phone. I owned a Galaxy S24 Ultra. That thing was an emperor. It sat on my desk like a monolith, daring other phones to approach.
Then I unfolded 4.1 millimeters of the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Olive Green, 512 GB, and my emperor became a paperweight with abandonment issues.
Four point one millimeters. Unfolded. Two hundred fifteen grams. I have held business cards with more presence. And yet somewhere inside that impossible sandwich, Samsung crammed a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, up to 16GB of RAM, a terabyte of storage, and an 8-inch display that hits 3,000 nits—roughly the brightness of my own poor decisions at 2 AM.
The 200MP main sensor with HDR does not photograph my dog. It depresses him. The 50MP ultrawide shoots 8K in APV, a codec I did not know existed forty-eight hours ago and now defend in comment sections. Cine LUT is on a phone. On a phone. My first camcorder had a fabric strap and a tape deck.
Battery: 5,000mAh, 45W wired, 25W wireless. It goes all day. It has gone all day every day since it arrived, and every day it looks at me like it's not even trying.
One honest complaint, because I'm not a press release: there's still no built-in magnetic ring. If you want magnetic charging, you're buying a case. In 2026. On the Ultra.
Verdict: My S24 Ultra is in a drawer. It doesn't know yet. I don't have the heart.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In the past, it was a hit or miss when transitioning over to a new phone. This time...perfect! The ultra fold 8 is a great phone. I do miss the option of being able to use a pen when the phone is unfolded.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is a massive step forward. Out of all the foldable devices available, this is easily the best phone I chose to buy this year.
The updated overall dimensions make standard typing noticeably easier on the Z Fold 8 compared to the Z Fold 6, where the keyboard layout forced letters too close to the screen edges. On top of that, I really love the thin profile—it feels remarkably slim both in hand and in my pocket.
From a productivity standpoint, it has completely transformed how I work. I rarely take my laptop with me when I travel now because I can handle almost all of my daily tasks directly on this phone.
My only critique comes down to the accessories: I wish the official Samsung cases you order with your phone came with a front cover rather than just a back case. For a device like this, having complete front-and-back protection out of the box would be ideal. Overall, it's an incredible device and a true laptop replacement!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the new Fold because of its smaller profile when folded in comparison to my S25 Ultra. I also wanted a larger screen for working with documents. But the most exciting feature was the ease of set up. Transitioning to the fold was a breeze that included a full back up first. This is the best Samsung phone that I have ever owned.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Fold 8 Ultra because I recently had the Fold 6 and it was awesome. Looking forward to using my Fold 8.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I originally purchased the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra as a gift for my wife. I thought she'd love the innovative design and cutting-edge technology. What I didn't expect was to fall completely in love with it myself.
The moment I held it, I was mesmerized. The stunning 6.3-inch cover display is perfect for quick tasks, but when you unfold it to reveal that gorgeous 7.6-inch inner screen, it's transformative. Multitasking becomes seamless—I can video call while taking notes, watch content while browsing, and work like I'm holding a tablet that fits in my pocket.
The camera system is phenomenal. The 50MP main sensor captures breathtaking detail, and the zoom capabilities are genuinely impressive. Whether it's family photos or professional-quality content, every shot is stunning.
The durability is outstanding. The Armor Glass and refined hinge technology make it feel like an investment that will last. Battery life easily carries me through a full day of heavy use, and the performance? Absolutely zero lag.
My wife didn't mind—she saw how obsessed I was. So we did the obvious thing: I bought her one too. Now we both experience the future of mobile technology daily.
The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra isn't just a phone; it's a game-changer that transforms how you work, create, and connect.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I unwrapped my phone and just knew I made a perfect choice! I am glad I chose the fold 8 ultra. It brings my photos to life, it is sleek and light. The AI features are amazing. Work is easier, play is more fun with my new phone!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I chose the Z Fold 8 Ultra, and did so because I wanted to have open 2-3 screens at a time. My last phone was the S24 Ultra that came with a stylus and you were able to do a split screen (top&bottom). In addition to using the multiple screens I was interested in being able to watch my English Football (soccer) and the idea of having a large tablet like screen was too much to ignore! What I do miss on this phone is the S- pen but I purchased a case that came with a stylus on the back cover and so far I'm happy with that.
