Editorial
(this is a pre-test listing based on reasonable expectation of battery, screen and imaging performance) After years of refusing Samsung finally adopted a Silicone Carbon anode tech and the new Z Fold Ultra finally gets a competitive 5000mAh size battery. 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 long OS support.
PROs
slightly smaller despite bigger battery, fast SD 8 Elite Gen 5 with UFS 4.0 performance, 24hr endurance from a 5000mAh Si-C battery with sub-60min 45W (20W wireless) charging, >1600nits >420ppi 120Hz LTPO AMOLED screen with HDR10+, (submersible) IP48 protection, feature rich OneUI with 7 years of OS updates, market leading desktop replacement, fast USB-C 3.2 port with OTG, global sales and support network
CONs
incremental upgrade, still lags behind competition in battery autonomy and imaging, two average 10MP selfies with no AF, average video recording, no expandable memory, Samsung's (Apple-like) effort to lock it's customers into an restrictive ecosystem
