## Can it do this?

- **How long does the battery last?** It runs 27 hours playing video, which is a full day with the 8 inch screen open for a good part of it. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/phones/galaxy-z-fold/roadmap/fold8-ultra#can-how-long-does-the-battery-last))
- **Can it get wet — shower, pool, swimming?** Yes to a shower and a soaking, no to swimming. It is rated IP48, which covers immersion past a metre but only stops solids larger than a millimetre, so fine dust and sand are what to keep away from the hinge. The Pixel 11 Pro Fold is the only foldable we cover that is fully dust tight, at IP68. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/phones/galaxy-z-fold/roadmap/fold8-ultra#can-can-it-get-wet-shower-pool-swimming))
- **How much storage does it have?** It comes in three options, from 256GB to 1TB. The 256GB tier fills quickly on a phone shooting 200MP stills and 8K video, so the middle one is what most people will want. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/phones/galaxy-z-fold/roadmap/fold8-ultra#can-how-much-storage-does-it-have))
- **Does it have a 120Hz screen?** Yes. Both screens run adaptively from 1Hz to 120Hz, smooth when you scroll and almost still when the picture is. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/phones/galaxy-z-fold/roadmap/fold8-ultra#can-does-it-have-a-120hz-screen))
- **How big is the screen?** It opens to 8 inches and shuts onto a 6.5 inch cover screen. The cover screen is a full-size phone in its own right, so you only open it when you actually want the tablet. The standard Galaxy Z Fold8 gives you 7.6 and 5.5 inches for $200 less, at $1,899.99. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/phones/galaxy-z-fold/roadmap/fold8-ultra#can-how-big-is-the-screen))
- **How fast does it charge?** It reaches 67% in 30 minutes on a 45W wired charger, the fastest half-hour of any foldable we cover. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/phones/galaxy-z-fold/roadmap/fold8-ultra#can-how-fast-does-it-charge))
- **How heavy is it?** It weighs 215g. For an 8 inch screen with a hinge under it that is remarkably ordinary, about the weight of a large slab phone. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/phones/galaxy-z-fold/roadmap/fold8-ultra#can-how-heavy-is-it))
- **How good is the camera?** It shoots on a 200MP main camera, one of three on the back, with a 10MP front camera. That is a full flagship camera set, and it is the clearest thing the Ultra adds over the standard Galaxy Z Fold8, which has two rear lenses and a 50MP main. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/phones/galaxy-z-fold/roadmap/fold8-ultra#can-how-good-is-the-camera))
- **What video can it shoot?** It shoots 8K at 30fps at its highest setting, which is more than most phones offer at all. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/phones/galaxy-z-fold/roadmap/fold8-ultra#can-what-video-can-it-shoot))
- **How big is the battery?** The battery is 5,000 mAh as a dual cell across the two halves, which is what carries 27 hours of video in a 4.1mm body. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/phones/galaxy-z-fold/roadmap/fold8-ultra#can-how-big-is-the-battery))
- **What colours does it come in?** It comes in four finishes: Cream, Graphite, Green Shadow and Violet Shadow. Foldables ship on a short colour list and rarely add to it, so take these as the range. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/phones/galaxy-z-fold/roadmap/fold8-ultra#can-what-colours-does-it-come-in))
- **How sharp and bright is the screen?** It packs 422 pixels into every inch on both screens, so neither shows you a pixel at reading distance. We expect brightness in line with Samsung's other flagship panels. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/phones/galaxy-z-fold/roadmap/fold8-ultra#can-how-sharp-and-bright-is-the-screen))
- **How thick is it?** It is 4.1mm thick open and 8.9mm folded shut. Open, it is the thinnest foldable we cover, and shut it is about the thickness of two ordinary phones. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/phones/galaxy-z-fold/roadmap/fold8-ultra#can-how-thick-is-it))
- **What chip is inside?** It runs Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy, the Galaxy-tuned version of Qualcomm's flagship chip. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/phones/galaxy-z-fold/roadmap/fold8-ultra#can-what-chip-is-inside))
