A side-by-side comparison of Samsung’s two newest foldables on specifications and pricing, with Easy EMI options from Bajaj Finance to make either one easier to own.
Samsung introduced two distinct foldable phones within the same generation this year, giving buyers a genuine choice rather than a single flagship to consider. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 and the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra were both unveiled at Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event on 22 July 2026, and went on sale in India from 7 August 2026.
Both phones are within easier reach through Bajaj Finance. Shoppers can use the Easy EMI Loan for a loan offer amount of up to Rs. 5 lakh, with flexible tenures between 3 and 60 months, at over 1.5 lakh partner stores across 4,000+ cities. This piece compares the two foldables on specifications, pricing and everyday performance, to help decide which one fits daily use better.

The table shows both phones share the same chipset and RAM tiers, so the real differences come down to display size, camera hardware and build, covered in more detail below.
Display and design
The Galaxy Z Fold 8 uses a shorter, wider 7.6-inch main display suited to media viewing and everyday scrolling, paired with a redesigned cover screen for quick tasks without unfolding. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra keeps the taller, narrower book-style shape Samsung’s Fold line is known for, with an 8-inch main display for a larger workspace. Both use Flex Titanium display technology to reduce crease visibility, and the Ultra adds a titanium frame with an Armor FlexHinge for extra durability.
Performance for everyday and demanding tasks
Both phones run on the same Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy chipset with matching RAM tiers, so multitasking, Galaxy AI features and everyday apps feel similarly smooth on either device. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra includes an expanded graphite cooling structure, which helps it sustain performance during longer gaming or content creation sessions without throttling.
Camera capabilities
The Galaxy Z Fold 8 uses a dual 50MP setup for its main and ultra-wide lenses, delivering consistent results across everyday photography and video calls, supported by Dual Recording and My FanCam for social-ready clips. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra steps up to a triple camera system, adding a 200MP main sensor and a 10MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, along with 8K video recording, giving content creators more flexibility when shooting and editing.
Battery life and charging
The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra carries a larger 5,000 mAh battery against the Galaxy Z Fold 8’s 4,800 mAh, giving it a slight edge for longer, heavier use such as content creation or extended gaming. Both phones support 45 W fast charging, so a full day of typical use is comfortably covered on either device.
Pricing in India
Both foldables sit firmly in the premium price bracket, with the Galaxy Z Fold 8 priced lower within the pair and the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra costing more for its larger display and camera system.
| Model | Configuration | Price |

Offers available with Bajaj Finance
Bajaj Finance runs a set of ongoing offers that apply across its mobile phone range, including these two foldables. Current benefits include zero down payment on select models, tenures stretching from 3 to 60 months, Easy EMIs starting as low as Rs. 830, and discounts of up to 60% on select phones. Terms can vary by store and model, so it is worth confirming the latest details with a partner store before completing the purchase.
How to buy on Easy EMIs
Financing either foldable through Bajaj Finance takes only a few steps, whether shopping online through Bajaj Mall or in person at a partner store.
- Confirm Easy EMI Loan eligibility beforehand, through the Bajaj Finance app or at the store counter
- Pick the Galaxy Z Fold 8 or Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, along with the preferred RAM, storage and colour
- Apply the Easy EMI Loan at billing and choose a repayment tenure between 3 and 60 months
- Ask the store representative about any live offers, such as zero down payment or bank cashback, before finalising
- Collect the phone immediately once the paperwork is signed, with no waiting period
The Galaxy Z Fold 8 and the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra give Samsung’s foldable range two distinct directions: one favours a wider, media-friendly form factor at a lower price, the other favours a taller design with a stronger camera system and titanium build. Either choice becomes easier to manage with Bajaj Finance’s Easy EMI Loan, spreading the cost over a tenure that suits the buyer’s budget.
