Context piece
- The Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra’s fold crease was barely noticeable, and its thickness and weight were significantly reduced compared with earlier foldable designs.
- The Samsung phone ran high-definition games smoothly with Qualcomm’s latest Galaxy-specific Snapdragon 8 Elite fifth-generation platform.
- Some applications still showed disappointing optimization.
The fold in the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra’s screen is almost impossible to notice at a glance. Users have to inspect the display closely before becoming aware of the crease at the center.
The phone also feels considerably less thick and heavy than foldables typically do. Compared with the conventional bar-style smartphone used for everyday testing, it can even feel thin.
Samsung equipped the device with Qualcomm’s latest mobile platform, the Galaxy-specific Snapdragon 8 Elite fifth-generation chip. That hardware allowed high-definition games to run smoothly.
The experience was not flawless, however. Some applications still lacked optimization, leaving one notable weakness in an otherwise improved foldable-phone design.
