Samsung’s been making its “Ultra” phones for years under the Galaxy S banner, but this year marks the first time the title is being used for a foldable phone. Needless to say, Samsung is trying to change the narrative with the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra — by slapping its premier "Ultra" badge on a foldable for the very first time.
On paper, it packs the flagship hardware specs that I know appeal to hardcore fans who’ve remained faithful to the Galaxy S line for years, including the same 200MP main sensor as the Galaxy S26 Ultra. But when you’re paying a massive premium for a phone that folds, the cameras can’t come up short against the traditional slab flagship.
