Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 vs Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra

The Galaxy S25 Ultra is the better phone for most people who want one device that does everything: a 6.9-inch 1440p LTPO AMOLED at 2600 nits, a 200 MP main camera, a 5000 mAh battery and a built-in S Pen. The Z Flip 8 wins on portability and fun: it folds to fit a small pocket, has a 4.1-inch cover screen for notifications and selfies, and weighs 180 g. Owners of the Flip praise the hinge, the near-invisible crease and the fast performance, but a few note weak speakers and cameras that trail the Ultra. Buy the Flip for pocketability and style; buy the Ultra for camera reach, battery and screen quality.

• Choose the Galaxy Z Flip 8 if you want a full-size screen that folds into a small, light package and you mostly shoot quick selfies and everyday scenes.
• Choose the Galaxy S25 Ultra if camera zoom, a sharp bright screen, long battery life and an S Pen matter more to you than folding.
