Easiest ever to migrate from previous phone
on August 8, 2026
Posted by: Makewifehappy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the z fold 8 ultra because my wife wanted my z fold 7. In the past to migrate my phones I needed a cable or wifi. Thos time with just a few key strikes the two phones found each other and migrated fast. Then I migrated my wife's old phone to my old fold 7 and voila it worked. Now she is happy and I'm happy to get the fold 8. It's not much different from my fold 7, which I loved but it is faster. I love the big inner screen, which is why my wife wanted my fold 7.

Incremental Improvements
on August 8, 2026
Posted by: RoRoMIA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I usually buy a new phone every year and take advantage of Samsung's special trade-in offers when new models are released. As successor to my Z Fold 7 from last year, I considered the S26 Ultra, Z Fold 8, and Z Fold 8 Ultra. In the end I chose the Z Fold 8 Ultra as most natural successor to the Z Fold 7. It is not much different, but the bigger battery and higher charging speeds are highly appreciated, as well as some improvements to the cameras and the hinge. I am still impressed with slim-ness of the latest folding phones, but at the same time disappointed with the elimination of S Pen functionalities, the punchhole selfie camera that used to be a more advanced under-display camera for a few Z Fold generations, and the fact that the Z Fold phones do not get the most powerful telephoto lenses of the S Ultra phones. These items are on my wish list for the next generation. Furthermore, if there can be a phone with all the features of the Fold Ultra, but the shorter and wider shape of the new Fold 8, I will switch to that model. I think its aspect ratios, open and closed, make a lot more sense than those of the Fold 7 and Fold 8 Ultra.

The Galaxy Z Fold 8 continues to be excellent
on August 8, 2026
Posted by: Devilstrider
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra because I like all the features it comes with. I've been a loyal Samsung user since the original Galaxy Note release and the Z Fold series allows me to continue multitasking in various ways without having to get a separate tablet device. I match it with my Galaxy S25 Ultra and Galaxy Watch Ultra.
The updates to One UI has streamlined my multitasking even more. I love how smooth and intuitive the device is. On top of that this new iteration is so thin I was amazed that when I took it out of the box. The setup is still amazingly streamlined and only to gets better. Transferring all my information form my old device to the new one was extremely easy.
All that combined with Samsung having the best trade in offers for previous Samsung phones make it the perfect choice. I've already told coworkers at work about it and one other purchased the Z Fold 8 Ultra and another purchased the Z Fold 8. Keep up the amazing work that you do and thank you for creating an amazing product.

Samsung Z Fold 8 Ultra is a BEAST!
on August 8, 2026
Posted by: Davkey
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is the perfect phone for those of us in the military. Coming directly from a Samsung S25 Ultra, I was a bit hesitant about making the switch, but the setup and data transfer process via Smart Switch was so seamless it took almost no effort at all. Everything from my layout to my apps carried over effortlessly.
The first thing that hits you when you hold this device is just how surprisingly slim and incredibly light it feels in the hand. For a foldable, the build engineering is remarkable; it doesn't feel bulky in a pocket whatsoever.
Performance-wise, the processing speed is lightning fast. Whether I’m multitasking across multiple open windows, switching between heavy applications, or working on complex tasks, there isn't a hint of lag. The display is vibrant, crisp, and standard-setting for bright, immersive viewing—unfolding that screen still feels like magic every single time.
The camera setup takes awesome, detailed pictures with exceptional clarity and rich colors in every lighting condition, easily matching the high expectations set by my previous Ultra series devices. On top of that, pairing it with my first Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 has completely streamlined my daily routine and tracking. The ecosystem integration between the watch and phone is flawless.
Overall, I am extremely satisfied with this upgrade. If you’re on the fen

Z Fold 8 Ultra
on August 8, 2026
Posted by: Jrizzle
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So, I jumped into the Z series with the Fold 3. I've traded up each year since. Each iteration gets better. I just received the 8 and am initially impressed with the sleek design. Since I've only had the new device for a couple days, I don't know all the newest features yet. Big fan of what Samsung is doing.
