New details about Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra suggest the device could bring notable battery and charging improvements without becoming thicker or heavier.
The information comes from tipster Ice Universe, who shared the alleged specifications ahead of Samsung’s expected launch of the Fold 8 lineup.
Battery and charging upgrades
According to the leak, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra will feature:
- 5,000mAh battery
- 45W wired charging
For comparison, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 has:
- 4,400mAh battery
- 25W wired charging
The reported battery capacity would represent an increase of about 13% over the previous model.
Thickness and weight said to remain unchanged
Ice Universe claims Samsung has managed to add the larger battery without increasing the device’s dimensions.
The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is said to measure:
- 4.1mm when unfolded
- 8.9mm when folded
- 215g in weight
That weight would match the Galaxy Z Fold 7.
Fold 8 and Fold 8 Ultra may take different approaches
Previous reports have suggested that the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra will retain a design similar to its predecessor.
Meanwhile, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 is rumored to adopt a shorter and wider form factor.
According to earlier reports, Samsung is positioning the regular Fold 8 as a wider foldable aimed at competing more directly with upcoming large-screen devices, including Apple’s rumored iPhone Ultra.
Reported Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra specifications
