As a long‑time Galaxy Fold customer, I was excited but honestly unsure about moving from my daily driver, the Galaxy Flip 7 to the Fold Ultra. I’m glad I made the switch, the design, especially when closed, gives off a modern Palm Pilot‑style silhouette but with far more capability and a much cooler, future‑forward feel.
The size is perfect. Texting, calling, browsing and watching shows all feel natural and comfortable, without the bulk you’d expect from a foldable. Samsung nailed the balance between portability and screen real estate, making this device a standout in everyday use.
Overall, the Fold Ultra exceeded my expectations and feels like the right evolution for anyone who loves the Fold lineup but wants something refined, powerful and thoughtfully designed.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have to restart the phone every 2 to 3 days. Or it won't allow phone calls or service on the phone

I have had nothing but problems with this new phone! It is way slower, apps like Doordash and Wonder not opening no matter what I do. Constantly spinning waiting for it to open or give me information.Even using Android auto is a pain, it won't automatically connect to anything! I have to manually do everything and just wait....Gemini very slow.Also the sound is way lower than my previous Samsung on phone calls and videos. Wish I never bought it!!!!
