Summary
$2,099 Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra drew praise in a new review for its foldable design, multitasking software and creator-focused performance, but the missing S-Pen was flagged as its biggest drawback.
An 8-inch inner display, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip and 200MP main camera helped position the phone as a premium tool for shooting, editing and productivity on one device.
Samsung’s stylus omission matters most for sketching, document signing and photo editing, especially because the larger foldable screen appears well suited to pen input.
S-Pen support had already been dropped after the Z Fold6 era and remains available on Samsung’s S Ultra line, leaving the Fold8 Ultra aimed at creatives but without a feature some power users see as essential.
