Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra vs Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra

The S26 Ultra is the thinnest (7.9mm) and lightest (214g) Ultra ever, ditching the titanium frame in favor of Armor Aluminum. Rounder corners improve the hand feel significantly. Gorilla Glass Armor 2 protects the display. The design change from titanium to aluminum is divisive — some see it as a downgrade, others say it doesn't matter in real use.

• At 7.9mm thin and 214g, this is the thinnest and lightest Galaxy Ultra ever — noticeably more comfortable to hold than the S25 Ultra
• Rounder corners give the S26 Ultra a more comfortable grip — a welcome departure from the sharp-edged Ultra design language of recent years
• Switching from titanium to Armor Aluminum may disappoint those who valued the premium feel, though Samsung argues the weight savings justify the change

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6

The Z Fold 6 is noticeably thinner and lighter, with a more squared-off design language that reviewers appreciate.

• The new design language with flat edges looks more refined and modern — it's Samsung's best-looking foldable by far.
• At 239g, it's the lightest Z Fold yet, and you genuinely notice the difference in pocket and hand.
