Samsung’s new foldable launch is one we’ll remember. For the first time in years, Samsung has given us a new foldable design and is attempting to present true choice over shapes, instead of just a single book-style foldable next to a flip phone.
The Galaxy Z Fold 8 is the new wider option and is easily the one we’re all talking about. It’s the one I pre-ordered and the one that Tim is well into testing already. Don’t worry, we’ll have a Fold 8 Ultra review for you too, but all eyes are on the new shape and design, to see if Samsung has found new foldable magic.
If your attention has been captured like ours, you might be looking for the best Galaxy Z Fold 8 deal now that pre-orders are open and we think we have it for you. A Galaxy Z Fold 8 for $599.99 can be had.
Samsung’s Best Galaxy Z Fold 8 pre-order deal
The Galaxy Z Fold 8 (the smaller, wider model) starts at $1,899.99, which is $100 cheaper than last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 and a full $200 cheaper than the new Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. While still not even close to being cheap or affordable for most, it will cost you less to own one.
To get a Galaxy Z Fold 8 for $599.99, Samsung is running two promos that both appear to be active still. First, you pick your device configuration, then apply your trade-in (up to $1,200 off). After applying the trade-in and seeing that value and discount, you’ll use code “PAYPAL100” to take a bonus $100 off.
As you can see there, I applied a Galaxy S26 Ultra for the full $1,200 discount. You could also trade in a Galaxy Z Fold 7 for the same value. Without those, you would still save an instant $1,100 with a Galaxy Z Fold 6, $900 with a Galaxy Z Fold 5 or Galaxy S25 Ultra, $850 with an S24 Ultra, and $700 with a Flip 7 or S26+. There are other top values too that you can check at Samsung’s site.
| Model | Retail Price | Full Discount Price |
| Galaxy Z Fold 8 (256GB) | $1,899.99 | $599.99 |
| Galaxy Z Fold 8 (512GB) | $2,099.99 | $799.99 |
| Galaxy Z Fold 8 (1TB) | $2,499.99 | $1,199.99 |
Need more than 256GB storage, since this is a $2,000 foldable that you might keep for years? The table above shows you 512GB and 1TB models with the full $1,200 trade-in plus the $100 cash discount.
Why buy the Galaxy Z Fold 8?
This one seems obvious, doesn’t it? You buy the Galaxy Z Fold 8 because it’s the fun new shape that might actually fit in your hand, gives you excellent wide-screen video viewing, and still matches the Ultra in many specs, outside of the camera. It has the new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, 12GB or 16GB RAM, large 4800mAh battery, and software support for years to come. Tim has already written an early love letter to it, in case you were wondering what he likes about it.
