In an Oct. 24, 2026, deal roundup, Paul Lilly of HotHardware listed $200 discounts on Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Fold 8 Ultra and $150 discounts on the Z Flip 8. The 256GB Fold 8 was listed at $1,699.99, the 256GB Ultra at $1,899.99 and the 256GB Flip 8 at $1,049.99. HotHardware also listed a 512GB Flip 8 at $1,249.99, or $150 off. Its deal links pointed to different configurations at Amazon and Best Buy, so the listings do not establish that every configuration had the same offer at both stores.
Two days later, Zainab Falak at Gizmodo described Amazon’s Fold 8 offer as an 11% discount from $1,900 to $1,700. That rounded price is consistent with HotHardware’s $1,699.99 listing, rather than evidence of another price cut. Gizmodo also reported up to $1,015 in trade-in credit plus an extra $200, with the credit depending on the traded device’s condition. It did not give a final price for any particular buyer.
These were offers described in articles published on Oct. 24 and Oct. 26, not verified current checkout prices. Gizmodo disclosed that its deals are produced independently of its editorial team and that it may earn a commission from purchases through its links.
