Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra
Choose it for the biggest screens, 200MP main camera and 5,000mAh battery.
Three new Samsung foldables, three genuinely different jobs. Here is the simple answer before the specification sheet.
Choose it for the biggest screens, 200MP main camera and 5,000mAh battery.
Choose it for book-style multitasking in Samsung's lightest Fold body at 201g.
Choose it for the pocketable clamshell, useful cover screen and FlexCam shooting.
Specification note: Screen sizes, camera resolutions, batteries and weights were checked against Samsung UK's Galaxy Z Series 8 guide and product pages on 6 August 2026.

Skip it if: price and pocket comfort matter more than having Samsung's absolute best foldable hardware.

Product image: Mobiles.co.ukThe standard Fold8 is not simply a cheaper Ultra. Its redesigned 7.6-inch inner and 5.5-inch cover screens sit in a 201g body, making it easier to carry while keeping the wide canvas that makes documents, video and side-by-side apps useful.
Skip it if: you want the Ultra's longer zoom and 200MP main camera, or the Flip8's genuinely compact folded shape.

Product image: Mobiles.co.ukThe Flip8 is for compactness and personality, not tablet-style work. It opens to a 6.9-inch display, folds down around a useful 4.1-inch cover screen and uses FlexCam for hands-free photos and video.
Skip it if: the reason you want a foldable is to run several apps on a tablet-sized screen.

You want Samsung's strongest foldable camera and biggest working area, and the premium is acceptable.
You want a real pocket-tablet but care about weight and portability more than maximum camera hardware.
You want a normal-sized phone that folds smaller, plus a cover screen and hands-free camera positions.
No. Samsung sells both. Fold8 Ultra continues the large book-style Fold concept, while Fold8 is a lighter redesign with smaller screens.
Fold8 Ultra has the most screen and camera hardware. Fold8 is the smarter work choice if its lighter 201g body means you will carry it more comfortably every day.
Flip8 folds into the smallest shape. Among the two book-style models, Fold8 is lighter than Fold8 Ultra.
