Exceptional Hardware and Multitasking, Limited Zoo

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra sets a new standard for foldable devices with a dramatically thinner, lighter chassis that feels like a standard phone when closed and a tablet when opened. Multitasking on the 8.0-inch anti-reflective inner display is seamless, supported by top-tier battery life and a sharp 200 MP main camera. However, the lack of an integrated S Pen slot and the omission of a dedicated periscope zoom lens keep it just shy of complete Ultra parity. I chose fold 8 ultra and used previous versions.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a new owner of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, I'm genuinely impressed with my first few days of using it. I've owned many smartphones over the years, but this is the first one that truly feels different. The folding screen is more useful than I expected. I find myself opening it throughout the day to read emails, browse the web, watch videos, and multitask. Having that larger display available whenever I need it makes everyday tasks much more enjoyable. The build quality feels premium, and the device is surprisingly polished. I was initially concerned about the crease and durability, but after using it, those concerns have mostly disappeared. The crease is noticeable when you're looking for it, but during normal use I hardly pay attention to it. There are a few trade-offs. It's heavier than a traditional smartphone, and the price is definitely a premium one. It also takes a little time to get used to opening and closing the device throughout the day. That said, the performance has been excellent, the displays are beautiful, and the overall experience feels innovative and exciting. It's one of those rare tech purchases that actually feels new and different.
A Multitasking Powerhouse, but Mind the Brightness

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra heavily, and the 14.6-inch Super AMOLED screen is absolutely incredible for split-screen multitasking. Running Samsung DeX makes this feel closer to a laptop than a traditional tablet, and the included low-latency S Pen is fantastic for quick sketches and note-taking. The thin metal design looks and feels incredibly premium, and the quad AKG speakers are punchy and clear for streaming. My only real complaints are that the peak screen brightness (under 400 nits) makes it tough to use outdoors in direct sunlight, and the massive footprint means you definitely need a sturdy stand or keyboard case to prop it up comfortably. Overall, if you need a giant, powerful screen for productivity and media, this is a phenomenal device. Pros: Gorgeous massive display, smooth 120Hz refresh rate, desktop-level multitasking with DeX, S Pen included. Cons: Hard to read in direct outdoor sunlight, too large to hold comfortably with one hand for long periods.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently needed a new phone around 1 month ago and I chose the galaxy z fold 8 ultra. I thought A folding phone looked interesting and figured since they've been making these for a while they know what they're doing. Evidently they really do, this phone has been really fun to use and made watching videos much easier, I take notes a lot easier and find it has some interesting applications for gaming. I switched to galaxy from a different platform so I have been getting used to a lot of changes, it has all been quite simple though and easy to use and learn. I sometimes use my zfold to play games from my computer and I find it has a really high quality and resolution that was both unexpected and appreciated. I have been very pleased with this phone and will be continuing to use them for as long as they continue releasing them!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose this phone because I had a Z Fold 3 and I loved it. The Z Fold 8 Ultra has great battery life that last me all day with medium use. The multitasking is great. I can open 2 windows and check my work email and text at the same time. I also love the screen clarity when I watch YouTube or Netflix. This phone is a powerhouse. The front display is great, the main display is great and people love that they can see their pic when taking a picture before you take it.
I do have 2 negatives though. 1. The sound could be better and when you connect to ear buds the sound isn't as loud as my S24 Ultra. 2. I can go from the front screen to the main screen without any issues, but if I go from the main screen to the front, the phone thinks im done and locks. I should be able to go back to the front screen with no issues.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I do a lot of my work on my phone, and the Z Fold 8 Ultra has completely changed how I get things done. The big screen is the star of the show. Unfolded, it gives me real room to work: reading documents, replying to emails, and juggling multiple apps side by side without constantly switching back and forth. Tasks I used to save for my laptop, I now just knock out on my phone. The features are thoughtfully done and make multitasking feel natural instead of cramped. When I'm done, it folds up into a normal-sized phone that slips into my pocket. If you're someone who works from your phone, this is the one to get. It's not just a bigger screen, it's a different way of working.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My experience with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 has been excellent. The camera feels like a real upgrade, delivering clearer photos and outstanding image quality. Navigating between pages and apps is smooth, and everything feels well organized and easy to use. I rely on my phone for work, including emails, web searches, and Teams meetings, and the battery life has been impressive. I usually charge it daily, but it can last me up to two days with my usual use. I haven’t experienced any problems or concerns so far. For the way I work and use my phone every day, this is one of the best phones Samsung has ever made. I’m very satisfied and would confidently recommend it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose to switch from the competition to the z fold 8 ultra after reviewing multiple different phones and I'm so thankful I did. This phone has opened me up to a whole new world, a new "Galaxy" if I may. I'm so happy with this purchase and grateful to have made the jump after years on the other operating system.
