Editorial
After years of refusing Samsung finally adopted a Silicone Carbon anode tech and the new Z Fold Ultra gets a competitive 5000mAh size battery at last. Along with processor, faster charging, pixel denser screen and a better ultrawide that is where the upgrades end. Still, this phone that re-invented foldables 8 years ago is a flagship affair with excellent software implementation, features and very long OS support.
