After years of absence, Samsung is poised to reunite its foldable flagship with the S Pen — a stylus that once defined what a premium mobile device could be. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, wider and more ambitious than its predecessors, suggests Samsung now believes the foldable form has matured enough to carry the full weight of a productivity tool. It is a quiet declaration that this category is no longer an experiment, but a destination — one that may compel the rest of the industry to follow.
