The Galaxy Z Fold8 costs $850 more than the Galaxy S26 Ultra. So what does $850 actually buy you?

I've been using both, and this isn't the comparison you think it is. The foldable is the lighter phone. Its screen shows you 40% more movie. It also has no telephoto, worse cooling, worse speakers, and a dust rating that should genuinely worry you if you go to the beach.

If you're thinking about jumping to a foldable — or you're on an S25/S26 Ultra with a bad case of FOMO — watch this one before you spend the money.
