Technology 4/6: Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra - a breakthrough in design and performance

The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra has been officially revealed.

Samsung has just confirmed it will launch two versions of the Galaxy Z Fold 8 this year, one of which will be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. This information appeared in the Bluetooth SIG database, reinforcing previous rumors that the company will add the "Ultra" suffix to its premium foldable product line.

According to leaks, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra will retain a similar design to the Fold 7 but with improvements in thickness and weight. It is expected to feature a 5,000mAh battery and a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, promising more powerful performance. With a thickness of approximately 4.1mm when unfolded, the device will be more compact and lightweight than its predecessor.

Meanwhile, the "Wide" version will simply be called Galaxy Z Fold 8, without any special suffix. This makes the Ultra version a more premium and distinctive option in Samsung's foldable product line. Users expect the device to significantly improve the screen fold – an inherent weakness of foldable devices.

This amazing foldable smartphone could render the iPhone Ultra obsolete.As the expected launch date of the iPhone Ultra by Apple draws closer, the foldable smartphone market is seeing the emergence of more formidable competitors.

What makes Dreambeans unique is that it only provides about 10–14 stories each day, aiming to limit "doomscrolling" and encourage users to have a real-life experience. For example, if you're about to adopt a dog and have noted it in your Calendar, the app will create an illustrated story about life with a pet.

The name "Dreambeans" comes from the idea of an app that processes data while you sleep and then provides inspiration in the morning. Currently, Dreambeans is only available to Google AI Ultra users in the US, but a waiting list has opened for individual accounts.
