Z Fold 8 Ultra
on September 23, 2026
Posted by: MaxiBoy10
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My first phone in 7 years. Glad I chose to upgrade to the Samsung Z fold Ultra 8. Great phone, refined features and love the multitasking capabilities. Must get phone!
Buy something else. I had the Galaxy Z Fold 3 for five years; it was durable and held up to my expectations right until the very end. Upgraded to the Z Fold 8 Ultra, and it's junk. The technology/features are better, but what good does that do anyone if it's more delicate than a cracker? The inner screen has no real protection from drops or bumps...even while in a protective case. It dropped while closed...in a protective case. The case kept the outer parts of the phone safe, but once I opened it, there were hairline cracks throughout the screen. Also, what started as a small, black "dead spot" is now growing down my screen the more I need to open and close it. A waste of money.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm glad I chose this phone. It is very fast and easy to use. It's really cool to have what feels like two devices in one. Unfolding the phone and watching videos is really nice, makes the video experience that much better, like having a tablet with you all the time. Very impressed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my phone as a tiny computer- games, email, music, spreadsheets, etc. I'm glad I chose the Z Fold8 Ultra. The large screen makes it really easy to work without stopping to zoom in. When folded, I can still hold and use thr phone in one hand.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra. I've been a Note/S series Ultra user since the Note 5 (Note 7-which I loved, Note 8, Note 20, S24 Ultra). I tried the S26 Ultra out and while it was great, I ultimately went with the Fold. Battery life is excellent, I've yet to have below 15% battery at the end of the day.
The larger screen format allows for much better multitasking environment creating a more efficient workflow. I appreciate the updated UI and many options for all screens.
The form factor and usage when folded took a bit to get used to but ultimately I prefer the Fold over a standard "candy bar" style phone. I know what tasks I need to open it for and that operation is flawless.
Glad I Switched.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I came from the S22 Ultra, and I chose the Z Fold 8 Ultra for the extra RAM and storage for media/gaming. This is my first foldable screen device, so I wanted to reinforced screen layers. The small wave down the fold line is not as visible as other say while media is playing, but for apps in dark mode, it can be somewhat distracting.
So far, I am really enjoying the capabilities of the device. Exploring how my regular apps adapt to the inner screen has been mostly smooth, with only a few having issues after a fresh launch. I do wish that open apps would transfer from the outer to inner screen without needing a relaunch.
An example of one of my main complaints is with Bluetooth connections not dropping after the paired device is off and should no longer be connected. There are many little things like this that I expect to be ironed out with further updates to the system.
My biggest complaint is the size of the camera lens island. The phone NEVER lays flat, and there aren't really any reasonably priced cases to deal with this issue. I would have gladly taken a few mm thicker device for my phone to be able to lay flat with the outer screen facing upwards.
