The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra nearly perfects the big-screen Samsung foldable, but Galaxy Z Fold 6 users might hold onto their S Pen. The 5,000mAh silicon-carbon battery and 8.9mm thickness with 215g weight make it a leap over the Galaxy Z Fold 6. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, it outperforms the older chipset while retaining similar camera specs to the Galaxy S26 Ultra, including a 200MP main sensor.
However, the Fold 8 Ultra lacks S Pen support, a key feature of the Fold 6. Pricing starts at $2,099.99, while refurbished Fold 6 models are available for ~$500. The Fold 8 Ultra’s design is slimmer and lighter, with a wider 6.5-inch cover screen and improved crease resistance.
Despite missing the S Pen, its performance, battery, and camera upgrades make it the superior choice for most users, though Fold 6 owners may find the $500 price gap steep for an upgrade.
