The recognition comes as interest continues to grow in Samsung\u2019s eighth generation foldables<\/a>. Combined purchases of Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra<\/a> and Z Fold8<\/a> have tracked 30% ahead of the previous Z Fold generation, and the two models make up roughly 80% of Galaxy Z series purchases. Galaxy Z Flip8<\/a> has drawn a higher share of buyers switching from other smartphone brands than any previous Z Flip, most of whom are first-time foldable owners.<\/p>\n

The designation for the Galaxy Z Fold8<\/a> adds to the independent, third-party recognition of Samsung\u2019s flagship smartphone designs after Galaxy S26 Ultra<\/a> was recognized as Consumer Reports\u2019 top-rated phone<\/a> earlier this year.<\/p>\n
