Major Improvements
on August 7, 2026
Posted by: AgentJ
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded from the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and this was a major improvement.
The crease is barely noticeable. It's almost completely gone.
The phone is so thin! When using the outer screen you wouldn't even know it's a folding pho e.
The size of the outside screen is perfect. It's the same size and aspect ratio as other normal phones. This solves all of the formatting issues I had with older models.
When the phone is open its truly like having two phones side by side. Multitasking is the best its ever been when using two full apps at once.

Samsung Hits a Grand Slam... Again!
on August 7, 2026
Posted by: Coolrider69
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 3rd Fold, and the Best by Far
This is my third foldable — I went from the Z Fold 4 to the Z Fold 6, and this time I chose to upgrade to the Z Fold 8 Ultra. So glad I waited for it!
I've had it for two days now, and I can't say enough great things. It's thinner by at least a third, yet the weight also is reduced — that alone is impressive engineering. The screen is amazing: noticeably brighter, the crease is barely visible anymore, and the colors are exceptional, almost like a different display technology altogether.
The battery gives me several extra hours of use, and charging is faster too, so I'm spending less time tethered to a cable. Even the transfer process from my old phone was smoother than ever — minimal setup, minimal hassle, and I was up and running in no time.
Three folds in, and this is the one that finally feels fully realized. I chose well.

Retired Marine, I love this phone. I chose
on August 7, 2026
Posted by: BigMarine1
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is the phone I chose for everyday life, and as a retired Marine, I appreciate things that are built right and just plain work. It is exceptionally simple to use and makes my daily routine smooth, simple, and easy. Opening up that large screen makes viewing everything clear and hassle-free without any unnecessary complexity. It is a reliable, high-quality device that gets the job done every single day. I chose this awesome phone.

I Folded My Galaxy S24 Ultra Into Retirement
on August 7, 2026
Posted by: Neil2026
[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.
