The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra advances the foldable category with improved daily usability and comfort. Priced at ₹1,99,999, the device sits in the high-end segment and carries a ₹25,000 premium over the Galaxy Z Fold 7. While the cost increase is notable, the model adds an enhanced camera array, larger battery capacity, and a smoother hinge mechanism. Reviewers are examining whether these changes justify the higher price versus the prior edition.
The handset offers balanced weight distribution that supports one-handed use without bulk. At 215 grams it matches the previous weight yet measures 4.1 mm unfolded and 8.9 mm folded, slipping easily into pockets and appearing like a standard slim phone from a distance. Design continuity is maintained with the earlier model, though a titanium plate now improves durability. The hinge deploys the inner screen smoothly, the central crease remains minimal, and protection comes from Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 3 on the cover plus Victus 2 on the rear, along with IP48 dust and water resistance.
A 6.5-inch FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X cover display delivers 120 Hz refresh rate and 3,000 nits peak brightness, making it practical for quick tasks without unfolding. The inner 8-inch QXGA+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel provides rich color, strong contrast, and 120 Hz refresh, with stereo speakers aiding media playback and only slight crease visibility.
The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor paired with 12 GB RAM and One UI 9.0 on Android 17 supports fluid multitasking and gaming. Flex Mode and split-screen options boost productivity, while added notification tools supply contextual information.
Camera upgrades include retention of the 200 MP main sensor and an increase of the ultrawide sensor to 50 MP, joined by a 10 MP telephoto lens offering 3x optical zoom.
