Fujifilm has given it a flatter, more ...

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is the most accomplished foldable yet, fixing some of the format’s oldest annoyances. Trouble is, Samsung now sells another Fold that makes more sense. A good foldable phone is useful when you stop thinking about the folding bit.
