To call the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra rather "Z Fold 7 S" is unfair: Finally, no crease, a 14% battery increase, a new 50MP ultrawide camera, and my favorite one, maybe, due to the titanium layer, no longer a plastic feeling when you touch the folding screen.

SAMSUNG Innovations are definitely worth the Applause. They've really come a long way and are in consistent in presenting devices that do offer way better value than pricing.


To be fair most of the phone manufacturers also do this but SAMSUNG stands out.

Super excited that you pointed out the durability upgrades.

Really appreciate the video and photo comparison with the rotated Ultra because it shows you're literally just getting small-to-no letterbox on the Wide, not bigger video or photo.

However, the same comparison with the multi-tasking photo would have demonstrated that two apps on a Wide in portrait mode would be ridiculous. If you turn the Ultra to landscape again, you have the same width for the two apps AND more vertical viewing area. The Ultra wins in both orientations, which is why it's the "productivity" option.

"To call the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra rather "Z Fold 7 S" is unfair:"


Who said that, Phone Arena? Just trying to see if they're continuing their usual assumptive bashing of non-Apple products but prematurely & undeservingly praise Apple products that haven't even launched yet.

I know you're not trying to say this site is in any way biased towards Samsung.

I haven't heard of these products though that's the point. Without a big marketing budget how can you call it copying when they could have both come up with the same idea but one person executed it better to the point where people have heard about it.
