Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra key features
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is the brand's latest iteration of the Galaxy Z Fold, with plenty of bells and whistles.
First off, the phone is foldable with the ability for increased productivity. However, that doesn't make it a thicker or bulkier phone, as it's only 9.7 mm thick when folded.
When unfolded, the Z Fold8 allows you to multitask with ease and basically have two apps up at once, with the option for a third window on the same screen if needed.
For those who pride themselves on great photos, the phone quality on the Z Fold8 is very powerful with a 200mp camera, which gives you the flexibility to zoom or get a wider shot with its 50mp ultra wide lense.
While batteries in a foldable phone have been a point of discussion, the Z Fold8 has a vastly improved and slim 5000mAh battery, which allows for up to 27 hours of video playback. Plus, the battery was built to charge faster than ever for quick uses.
