Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra reached the Brazilian market in August 2026 at R$ 14,599 for the 12 GB RAM and 256 GB storage version, tudocelular.com reported in its November 4 review, with a 512 GB option at R$ 16,199 and a 16 GB RAM, 1 TB model at R$ 19,399.
The flagship foldable refines the line’s formula rather than reinventing it. The phone measures 4.1 mm thick when open, weighs 215 grams, and uses an aluminum body with IP48 protection. Its hinge is smoother and the crease on the internal screen is reduced, though the overall look stays familiar.
Two AMOLED screens push brightness near 3,000 nits
The device carries an 8-inch internal AMOLED panel and a 6.5-inch external one, both running at 120 Hz with automatic brightness approaching 3,000 nits. The inner display gains an anti-reflective coating. The trade-off shows up in audio: the stereo speakers lost volume and clarity, and the bass ends up covering the midrange and voices.

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 trails its predecessor in multitasking
Power comes from the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, which keeps apps open and delivers fluidity in demanding games. Yet tudocelular.com’s testing found the foldable fell behind its predecessor in multitasking and scored just over three million points on AnTuTu, below rivals running similar hardware.
Battery jumps to 34 hours in the standard test
The 5,000 mAh battery reached 34 hours in the standardized test, seven hours more than the previous model. Wired charging at 45W fills the battery in one hour and nine minutes, recovers 43 percent in 15 minutes and 73 percent in half an hour. Wireless charging tops out at 20W.
Android 17 and One UI 9.0 promise seven years of updates
The phone ships with Android 17 and One UI 9.0, and Samsung promises seven system updates plus seven years of security patches. The software adds split-screen suggestions, customizable cards, multitasking improvements, and on-device AI features that reframe videos and interpret on-screen content.
Cameras favor daylight; the telephoto disappoints at night
The main camera delivers strong daytime photos and the new ultra-wide improves versatility. The telephoto lens disappoints, especially in the dark, and the main sensor loses sharpness at night. Selfies please, and video offers good stabilization with recording up to 8K.
R$ 14,599 price pits the Fold 8 Ultra against Samsung’s own lineup
tudocelular.com’s verdict is mixed: the most advanced foldable Samsung has made is better and more expensive, but it now faces rivals from Samsung’s own line, which makes the Fold 8 Ultra’s cost-benefit harder to justify. The review notes the phone is already listed on Amazon at R$ 11,633, a lower price than its launch figure in Brazil.
