Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra 256GB violet shadow

Angst vor Apple? Größer, dünner und vollgepackt mit bester Hardware: Das neue Fold8 Ultra samt Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy verspricht das Potential für das beste Foldable-Smartphone 2026. Doch rechtfertigen die Upgrades auch den extremen Preis von über 2.000 Euro? Wir haben den Konkurrenten zum iPhone Ultra im Test und Alltag ausgiebig gefordert. Lohnt sich ein Kauf?

Hauchdünn, blitzschnell, 200-Megapixel-Kamera, sieben Jahre Updates: Das Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra bietet viel. Der Star des Jahres ist es dennoch nicht.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold just went Ultra. With the new addition of the wider and shorter Galaxy Z Fold8 this year, the Z Fold7's successor takes on the Ultra role in the lineup. But is the upgrade limited to the name alone?

A solid all-rounder for film and music, but it’s not the top option for entertainment on the go

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra lets you have it all in your pocket: power, screen real estate, and a high-resolution camera system that's almost as capable as Samsung's flagships—except for zoom. But it's also the priciest foldable out of the gate, and its large size may not appeal to everyone.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra offers one of the biggest upgrades we've seen out of Samsung for years, to the point where it feels as though real effort has been put into ensuring it lives up to the Ultra branding. Highlights include powerful performance, strong cameras, excellent battery life, and the multitude of screen upgrades. However, it doesn't change the fact there are a few aspects that let the phone down, least of which is the $100 price hike.

While it's a bit more expensive than last year (blame the RAM crisis), the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra takes what made the Fold 7 great and adds a better camera, more battery and an ever-so-slightly better display. It's hard to complain about that.
