Samsung Fold8 Ultra vs Fold8: Premium Foldables, Similar Feel
Samsung made two new phones that can fold in half, called the Galaxy Z Fold8 and the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra.
Both phones feel very similar and are very fast.
They both have good screens, strong hinges, and a less visible crease where the screen folds.
The Fold8 is smaller and easier to carry around.
The Ultra is bigger and opens up like a tiny tablet.
The Ultra also has a much better camera for taking pictures of faraway things and in the dark.
The regular Fold8 has a good camera too, but it does not have a special zoom lens.
Both phones lasted all day on a single battery charge.
The Ultra costs more money than the regular Fold8.
Buyers should pick the one that fits how they like to use their phone.
Samsung launched the Galaxy Z Fold8 alongside the Fold8 Ultra, its first 'Ultra' model in the foldable lineup.
Both phones are powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy processor with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage in the reviewed variant.
The Fold8 has a 7.6-inch inner and 5.5-inch cover display, while the Ultra offers an 8-inch inner and 6.5-inch cover panel, both with 120Hz adaptive refresh rates.
The Fold8 Ultra adds a 200MP main camera and 10MP telephoto, while the Fold8 uses dual 50MP cameras without a dedicated optical zoom.
Estimated street prices are Rs 1,79,999 for the Galaxy Fold8 and Rs 1,99,999 for the Fold8 Ultra.
The Fold8 has a 4,800mAh battery and the Ultra a 5,000mAh unit, with both lasting a full working day in testing.
