Community Reviews
The Fold8 deal is strongest for buyers stacking trade in, education, PayPal100, and AMEX credits, with some checkout totals landing well under the sticker price. The wider Fold8 feels lighter and more pocket friendly than the Fold 6, and the 512GB upgrade is often framed as the smarter move for only $100 more. The main knocks are the missing telephoto lens, the lower camera spec versus the Ultra, and the narrow cover screen that some find awkward. A few also flag pricey storage jumps and accessory add ons, so the value depends heavily on which discounts actually apply.

I currently have a Fold 6. Unfortunately, the inner display developed a leak after about a year and a half of daily use.
Compared to the Fold 6:
- Fold 8 Ultra: Feels very similar overall, but it's noticeably thinner and slimmer.
- Fold 8 (regular): There are a few major differences:
- The inner display is much more rectangular—about 60% more like the Ultra—rather than the squarer shape of the Fold 6/8 Ultra.
- The camera zoom is much more limited, around 1x–2x, while the Ultra offers 0.6x–30x zoom.
- The regular Fold 8 is much more compact and pocket-friendly. The Fold 8 Ultra is larger and will stick out of your pocket more.
Both the Fold 8 and Fold 8 Ultra feels significantly lighter and thinner than my Fold 6, and the difference is immediately noticeable when you hold them.Join The Conversation
