Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 vs Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra

Buy the Galaxy S25 Ultra if you want one durable, conventional phone with the best camera hardware, a brighter screen and a bigger battery. Buy the Z Fold 8 if the 7.6-inch inner screen and true multitasking matter more than camera reach. The S25 Ultra has the far larger track record, with 179,000 ratings at 4.7 versus 5,042 at 4.9 for the Fold. The Fold's hinge and inner display are the parts that wear; the Ultra's slab build has fewer moving parts.

• Choose the Galaxy Z Fold 8 if you want a phone that opens into a 7.6-inch screen for split-screen work, reading and video, and you accept a heavier, more delicate device.
• Choose the Galaxy S25 Ultra if you want the strongest camera set, a 6.9-inch screen that peaks at 2600 nits, and a 5,000 mAh battery in a phone that folds flat and takes a case.
