A cracked inner screen on the Z Fold 8 Ultra will run you $639 to fix, according to Samsung's own official repair pricing.

Samsung's One UI 9.5 could introduce a glass-inspired interface with shinier edges, blur effects, greater visual depth and a possible App Lock feature.

The Galaxy Z Fold 8 is the most exciting phone Samsung has made in years. It's pricey and makes a deep compromise, but what it offers is plenty of utilitarian charm, reliability, and longevity in a versatile shell.

The latest foldables are becoming remarkably thin, but after using Motorola, Honor, and Samsung’s newest models, I care far more about batteries and hinges that improve daily use.

Base-model flagships still sit around $1,200, but rising memory costs and shrinking perks suggest that ceiling may not last much longer.

If I want the best foldable Samsung makes in 2026, I’d skip the Fold 8's wider screen and go straight to the Ultra.
