Both models combine foldable displays with flagship performance, but their hardware differences could influence buyers deciding whether to prioritise advanced photography and productivity or a lighter design.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra focuses on camera capabilities and productivity, combining an 8.0-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X main display with a 6.5-inch cover display. Both displays support a 120Hz refresh rate, providing screen space for multitasking, content consumption and everyday productivity.
The device is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy processor and comes with up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. Its 5,000 mAh battery supports its larger foldable form factor, while the device weighs 215 g.
The Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra's camera system includes a 200MP Wide camera, a 50MP Ultra Wide camera and a 10MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom. The 200MP primary camera represents a key hardware distinction from the standard Galaxy Z Fold8, while the dedicated telephoto camera provides optical zoom for photographing distant subjects.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8, meanwhile, emphasises portability while retaining flagship specifications. It features a 7.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X main display and a 5.4-inch cover display, with a 120Hz refresh rate. These displays provide room for browsing, entertainment, multitasking and everyday communication.
Like the Ultra model, the Galaxy Z Fold8 uses the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy processor and offers up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. Its battery capacity is 4,800 mAh, and it weighs 201 g, making it 14 g lighter than the Ultra variant.
The standard Galaxy Z Fold8 features a 50MP Wide camera and a 50MP Ultra Wide camera. Its dual-camera configuration differs from the Ultra model's combination of a 200MP Wide camera, 50MP Ultra Wide camera and dedicated 10MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom.
Camera hardware is the principal distinction between the two foldables. While both models offer flagship processing power and high-end specifications, the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is positioned for buyers seeking a higher-resolution primary camera and dedicated optical zoom. The Galaxy Z Fold8 offers a lighter alternative with a capable dual-camera setup.
Battery capacity is another point of comparison. The Ultra model has a 5,000 mAh battery, compared with the 4,800 mAh battery in the standard Fold8. However, the stated capacities alone do not establish which device will deliver longer battery life in everyday use.
Pricing and available configurations are also important considerations. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 starts at Rs. 1,79,999, while the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra starts at Rs. 1,99,999. Both models are available in multiple RAM and storage configurations, with options offering up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.

The Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is suited to buyers who prioritise camera flexibility, a larger main display and a higher-capacity battery. Its 200MP Wide camera and 10MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom provide a more extensive rear-camera configuration, while its 5,000 mAh battery offers greater stated capacity than the standard model.
The Galaxy Z Fold8 is aimed at buyers who prefer a lighter foldable smartphone without giving up flagship processing performance, a large main display or high-end memory and storage configurations. At 201 g, it is 14 g lighter than the Ultra model, making weight a relevant consideration for people who carry their phones throughout the day. Its foldable display also provides additional screen space for entertainment and running multiple applications.
Buyers interested in purchasing either model through Bajaj Finance can visit their nearest Bajaj Finance partner store and select their preferred Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 or Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra variant.

The choice between the two Samsung foldables ultimately depends on the buyer's priorities and budget. The Rs. 20,000 difference separates the Ultra model's more advanced camera hardware and larger battery capacity from the standard Fold8's lighter design, while both retain the same stated processor family and maximum RAM and storage options.
