Samsung's Z Fold 8 Ultra just dropped $300, and the Z Fold 8 is on sale too

by · Android Police

The Z Fold 8 and Z Fold 8 Ultra hype has largely subsided by now, so you've probably had time to process the phones without all the extra noise. That's a good thing if you've been thinking about buying one, because the Z Fold 8 Ultra is $300 less, and the Z Fold 8 is now $250 off at Amazon. The good news is there are no contracts involved; these are prices for unlocked models.

Good things come to those who wait

Amazon offered some of the best promotions on these phones during their preorder phase, throwing in a free gift card with purchase. Now, you can just get that discount on the phone itself, which could be more appealing to some.

The Z Fold 8 Ultra is being discounted by $300, no matter which model you pick, while the Z Fold 8 is now $250 less for any model. Naturally, these prices are still quite high when compared to standard phones, so you'll want to think about it before clicking the 'buy' button.

You can always trade in an older phone for up to $600 back in credit and there's also financing available if you have an Amazon credit card. It's hard to see Samsung doing anymore than what it's already achieved with the Z Fold 8 and Z Fold 8 Ultra. These phones have been refined to near perfection.

Sure, the phones could have better cameras, but we don't think you'll be disappointed by the results of the images and videos the Z Fold 8 and Z Fold 8 Ultra can produce. Plus, the devices will get seven years of software updates, so it will only continue to get better and better. So, what are you waiting for? Pick up these foldable phones with a substantial discount while you can.
