The Galaxy Z Fold 8 has established itself as this year's hero foldable, thanks to a refreshed form factor, an eye-catching design, and a wider display that have made it a clear hit. However, for those of us who own a Galaxy Z Fold 7, the model that truly tempts is the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, not only because it is the natural successor to last year's device, but also due to a series of improvements that make it an extremely compelling upgrade.
The 5000 mAh battery solves the Fold 7's main issue
The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra boasts several impressive features, such as a 50-megapixel ultra-wide sensor, a brighter and sharper foldable display, and an anti-reflective coating. All of that is impressive, but it is not the reason I decided to upgrade. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 offers decent battery life, but it does require careful management on heavy days. Prolonged use of the inner display, navigation, calls, and video often had me checking the charge level by mid-afternoon. You get used to that level of daily anxiety to the point of not questioning it, but then the obvious upgrade appears and you wonder why you put up with it for so long.

The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is the upgrade you've been waiting for
The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is exactly that obvious upgrade. It packs a 5,000 mAh battery compared to its predecessor's 4,400 mAh cell, with objectively better battery technology: the silicon-carbon cell replaces the old lithium-ion one. Add to that faster 45W wired charging and 20W wireless charging, and the device sells itself to any Galaxy Z Fold 7 owner who does not want the wider form factor of the Galaxy Z Fold 8. The result is true all-day use without forcing conservation. The battery was the thing I actually needed Samsung to fix. And it did.

If you are considering moving to the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, think of the investment as paying for daily peace of mind. For those looking for other tech deals, the summer offers on AirPods Max 2 and M4 iPad Air might interest you, while if you are a console enthusiast, the translucent green Xbox Series X25 is on the horizon.
