Foldable cinema in your pocket: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 review

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 is the most compelling foldable yet, packing a redesigned 7.6-inch main display with a 4:3 aspect ratio, superb brightness and uniformity, and a smoother hinge thanks to Flex Titanium tech—ideal for movie-watching on the go. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 with 12–16GB RAM, it handles apps smoothly, supports HDR10+ and Dolby Atmos, and houses a solid 4800mAh battery that easily lasts a day. It runs Android 17/One UI 9 and Samsung promises up to seven years of updates. However, the price is steep (starting around £1699 / $1899 / AU$2699, with up to 1TB RAM/16GB) and camera count is modest at four, with some AI features missing (ProScaler). All told, it’s a premium portable movie machine that justifies its cost for media lovers, even if rival non-folding flagships remain cheaper.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8: Passport-Style Fold Reframes the Line

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8: Passport-Style Fold Reframes the Line

Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 base model adopts a passport-style, shorter-and-wider form and starts at $1,899.99, pairing a 7.6-inch inner display with a 5.5-inch outer screen, both 120Hz and up to 3,000 nits. It runs Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 with 12/16GB RAM and up to 1TB storage, delivering solid performance and a 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging (~65% in 30 minutes). A key trade-off is the lack of a telephoto camera and S Pen support; photos can look good but zoomed shots and low-light performance aren’t on par with the Ultra. The design is the standout feature here, offering durability (IP48) and a subtle crease, though some apps don’t perfectly fit the aspect ratio. If you want a pocketable tablet-like foldable and can live without optical zoom or stylus support, the Fold 8 is compelling; otherwise, consider the Ultra or other foldables.

US-first iPhone Ultra to roll out in stages, then China in coming months

Apple's first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Ultra, may launch in September in the US only, with key markets like China following over two to three months due to supply and pricing constraints. Production testing issues are also mentioned as a bottleneck. The device is expected to have about a 7.7–7.8 inch inner display, a 5.5 inch outer display, roughly 4.5 mm thickness, and a starting price above $2,000, with a staggered rollout reminiscent of Vision Pro's launch strategy.

Front-screen protector leak fuels iPhone Ultra foldable rumors

A leak from Ice Universe shows what’s claimed to be the iPhone Ultra’s front screen protector for a foldable model expected in September. The protector has an unusual shape that sits near the hinge, but the actual display is still believed to have symmetrical, rounded corners. The iPhone Ultra is rumored to feature a 5.5-inch external screen, a 7.8-inch inner display, an A20 Pro chipset, a 5,000mAh battery, a 48MP dual-rear camera, 18MP selfie cameras on both sides, and Touch ID.

Foldable standout or wallet-drainer? Galaxy Z Fold8 redefines compact versatility

Foldable standout or wallet-drainer? Galaxy Z Fold8 redefines compact versatility

Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold8 delivers a highly versatile, compact foldable experience with crisp 120Hz LTPO displays, strong everyday performance, robust software support (seven OS upgrades), DeX, and solid battery life aided by 45W charging. Yet its price is steep, it lacks a dedicated telephoto camera and its main camera isn’t flagship-grade, throttling and heat appear under sustained load, and the speakers are average with limited stereo separation when unfolded. Overall, it’s a niche device that appeals to foldable enthusiasts who value form factor, multitasking, and a premium build over having the absolute best camera hardware, with solid competition from Honor Magic V6, Oppo Find N6, and Samsung’s own Ultra variant.
