Samsung has launched the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra at Rs 1,99,999, Rs 25,000 more than the Fold 7. The phone gets a 50MP ultra-wide camera (up from 12MP), a larger battery, a refined hinge, and a titanium frame for durability. It weighs 215 grams and is 4.1mm thick when unfolded.

The 6.5-inch cover display and 8-inch inner screen both offer 120Hz refresh rates and 3,000 nits peak brightness. The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor runs One UI 9.0 based on Android 17. The Hindu’s review praises the near-invisible crease and comfortable one-handed use, calling it Samsung’s most refined foldable yet.

The hype around Samsung’s ‘best foldable’ label masks a steep Rs 25,000 jump over the Fold 7. Yes, the camera and hinge are better, but the processor and weight remain identical. Most buyers will ask: is a 50MP ultra-wide and titanium plate worth that premium? The real test will be whether Samsung can sustain sales against cheaper rivals like OnePlus Open 2 or even its own Fold 7.
