GSMArena has presented a hands-on comparison of speculative concept designs for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. The standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 concept features a shorter, wider passport-like form factor with a 7.6-inch 120Hz OLED inner display (1848 x 2448) and a 5.5-inch cover screen (1248 x 1972). It is equipped with a 50MP main camera, a 50MP ultrawide camera, a 4,800 mAh battery, and lacks a telephoto lens. In contrast, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra concept retains a traditional tall form factor, sporting an 8.0-inch 120Hz OLED inner display (2504 x 2256) and a 6.5-inch 1080p cover screen. The Ultra concept includes a 200MP main camera, a 10MP 3x telephoto zoom, a 50MP ultrawide camera, and a larger 5,000 mAh battery despite having a thinner chassis. Both conceptual devices are imagined with a futuristic 'Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy' chipset, 45W wired charging, 20W wireless charging, and anti-reflective screen coatings.
