Next month, Apple will be unveiling its first foldable iPhone – rumored to be called iPhone Ultra. It’s going to feature a 5.5-inch outer display and 7.6-inch inner display. Late last month, Samsung introduced the new Galaxy Z Fold 8 – and it comes with those same screen sizes.
Whether or not you believe Samsung only made this phone to preempt the iPhone Ultra is a different story – but one way or another, seeing the Galaxy Z Fold 8 gives us a great early idea of what iPhone Ultra will feel like in the real world.
Reviewers who have early access to the Galaxy Z Fold 8 have posted plenty of comparison photos of it and other devices on Twitter. Since the iPhone Ultra and Galaxy Z Fold 8 are going to be dimensionally similar, this serves as a great representation of how iPhone Ultra will look and feel in the real world.
Ray Wong posted multiple comparisons of Galazy Z Fold 8, against the previous generation iPad mini, highlighting that you’re truly getting an iPad mini-like display in your pocket – just without the chunkier bezels.
