Samsung forgot the foldable features that truly matter. Motorola and Google foldables are quietly beating Samsung where it counts. Mobile Android phones Motorola and Google foldables are quietly beating Samsung where it counts Samsung forgot the foldable features that truly matter.

With its thin-and-light form factor, 5,000mAh silicon-carbon battery, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy chip, and standout rear camera system, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is arguably the flagship foldable with the fewest compromises. I’ve tried every book-style foldable released in the US this year, and if I ranked them in the order of most likely to earn a spot in my pocket, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra would come in last. I’d pick both the Motorola Razr Fold and the Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold over it, despite their weaker performance and hardware drawbacks.

I’d even go with the wide Galaxy Z Fold 8 over the Ultra model, accepting its limitations. Flashy specs aren’t enough to win the foldable race anymore — Motorola and Google know it, and they’re proving it. Which book-style foldable are you most likely to buy.
