Android Circuit is here to remind you of a few of the many discussions around Android in the last seven days. You can also read my weekly digest of Apple news here on Forbes.
Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra Offers A Wider Screen And Thinner Body
The designs for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 have been revealed. With dummy production units showing up this week, we have a closer look at the traditionally sized foldable and the new wide form-factor, which not only offers a larger screen but also a thinner unfolded design, as 9to5Google explains.
“While it’s likely not any thinner than the Galaxy Z Fold 7 – if anything, this dummy unit is maybe a little thicker as there’s a slight gap towards the hinge – the wider aspect ratio makes that thin profile look all the thinner. Dickson compares it to “an S25 Edge thin when folded,” which would put the device at under 6mm when folded. “
New Galaxy S26 Ultra Deals
Samsung’s Memorial Weekend offers cut the price of the Galaxy S26 Ultra down to $1049.99 for US consumers. While this remains one of the best prices that the South Korean company has offered, and there’s more value to be found with the trade, as noted by Forbes contributor:
“The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is now $250 off, bringing it down to $1,049.99. This is one of the lowest prices since launch and the first Galaxy S26 Ultra discount to genuinely beat the equivalent Galaxy S25 Ultra deal from last year… Trade-in prices have also improved meaningfully since last week. The Galaxy S22 Ultra has jumped from $260 to $350. But my other benchmark trade-in device, the iPhone 14 Pro, has remained at $214.”
