Samsung has released the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, marking its first entry into the Ultra-branded book-style foldable segment. This launch matters because it pushes the physical limits of thinness and display brightness in a device that folds in half. Buyers looking for the most compact large-screen Android experience now have a new benchmark to consider.
