In Short: The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is also receiving a discount, with the 256GB and 512GB models now priced at $899 and $1,099, respectively.

Samsung is running a promotion for its Galaxy Z Fold 8, offering the 512GB model for the price of the 256GB model, $2,099, according to 9To5Google.

This promotion, which has been brought back occasionally after pre-orders end, typically comes with certain conditions. However, this time, the offer is straightforward, with no additional catches.

The base model of the Galaxy Z Fold 8 is priced at $1,899, but Amazon still offers it for $1,599 for the 256GB model and $1,799 for the 512GB model.

Samsung is also providing buyers with $400 in store credit towards the purchase of other devices, adding extra value to the deal.

The Galaxy Z Fold 8's Dynamic AMOLED 2X display reaches 2600 nits and supports HDR10+, making it vibrant and legible even in direct sunlight.

The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is also receiving a discount, with the 256GB and 512GB models now priced at $899 and $1,099, respectively.

Despite the discounts, some models like the Galaxy S26 Ultra are still available at a discounted price of $949.99, a significant reduction from its usual price of $1,399.99.

The Galaxy S26 Ultra is the only model in the lineup with the new privacy display, designed to limit what people around you can see on your screen.

Samsung's Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra models now start at $100 more than their release prices in March, according to Techadvisor.

The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is also available with a $300 price drop at Amazon, Best Buy, and Samsung, making it a popular choice during Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days sale.

What's still developing

• Samsung is running its much-loved “double the storage” promo on its Galaxy Z Fold 8 right now.
• Android Apps Deals Google HTC LG Motorola Samsung Update Verizon We’ve heard that Samsung is experiencing good sales thanks to the launch of iPhone Duo.
• With the double storage offer, you automatically get an upgrade to 512GB, saving an additional $120.
• The Apple iPhone 18 Pro outmuscles the Samsung Galaxy S26 in raw camera prowess and silicon performance, but Samsung’s entry-level flagship claims the undeniable crown for overall value.
• The package is listed at $699.99, compared with a recommended retail price of $799.99, which works out to a 13% discount.
• Unlike the Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus, the phone’s frame is not made from Samsung’s stronger Armor Aluminium, and the FE’s glass on the front and back is Gorilla Glass Victus+, not the Victus 2 found on its pricier S-series siblings.
• With little changed from the S25 FE, it’s only worth considering with a hefty discount.
• Rather than simply listing every discounted Galaxy I could find, I narrowed them down based on which models I think offer the strongest value and where spending a little more, or less, can get you a better phone.
• The Fold 8 almost entirely went out of stock at retail shortly after the pre-order phase, but it appears as though just about all colors and storage configurations are ready to roll once again, and now with a straight up cash discount.
• The peak brightness of 1,900 nits is also much lower than the regular Galaxy S26 (3,000 nits), but I found the display legible outdoors.
• Last year’s Galaxy S25 FE won plaudits as one of the best cheap phones, shaving off the superfluous and coming in at $650.
• One of the things that frustrates me most about this is the underhanded way Samsung has gone about it.
