Preorder Samsung’s Z Fold and Flip 8 to receive up to $350 in gift cards.

Samsung has unveiled its latest foldable devices at Galaxy Unpacked, introducing the Galaxy Z Flip 8, Galaxy Z Fold 8, and Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. All three models will hit the market on August 7th, but preorders are already open, starting at $1,199.99 for the Flip 8, $1,899.99 for the Fold 8, and $2,099.99 for the Fold 8 Ultra.

This year’s foldable lineup has a fresh look. Instead of just updating the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Samsung has introduced two distinct book-style foldables: the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, designed for productivity, and the Galaxy Z Fold 8, which is shorter and wider when folded, making it more entertainment-friendly. The Galaxy Z Flip 8 is slightly thinner and lighter than its predecessor, maintaining the same overall design as the Flip 7.

All three devices are powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy processor and come equipped with Android 17 and One UI 9, which introduce new AI features like Gemini Intelligence for task automation and Now Nudge, which offers proactive suggestions like calendar events.

While we’re still testing these foldables, we’ve spent some time with them and have our initial impressions of the Galaxy Z Flip 8, Galaxy Z Fold 8, and Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. Here’s everything you need to know about preordering Samsung’s new foldables, including pricing and carrier deals.

**Preorder the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra**
The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra starts at $2,099.99 for the base model with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. If you want 512GB, it’s priced at $2,299.99, and the 1TB version costs $2,699.99. Color options include violet shadow, graphite, cream, and shadow green, the latter being exclusive to Samsung’s online store.

For deals, Amazon is offering a $350 gift card with preorders of the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, while Best Buy has a $200 gift card. Samsung is providing $200 in credit, plus a $30 reservation credit for those who reserved in advance, and you can save an additional $100 with the code PAYPAL100. There’s also up to $100 off select Samsung products.

If you’re looking for Samsung’s most advanced foldable, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is the way to go. It keeps the design of the Z Fold 7 but adds a larger 5,000mAh silicon-carbon battery and faster charging options—45W wired and 20W wireless. It supports up to 16GB of RAM and features an upgraded camera system with a new 50-megapixel ultrawide sensor alongside the 200-megapixel main camera. Like the smaller Z Fold 8, it incorporates Samsung’s new Flex Titanium display technology, minimizing the visibility of the crease.

The Galaxy Z Fold 8 starts at $1,899 for the base model with 256GB of storage and 12GB of RAM. You can upgrade to 512GB for $2,099.99 or 1TB for $2,499.99. It comes in lavender, graphite, cream, and a Samsung-online exclusive pistachio color.

To save some cash, Amazon is offering a $350 gift card with preorders of the Galaxy Z Fold 8, while Best Buy includes a $200 gift card. If you buy directly from Samsung, you’ll receive $200 in Samsung credit, along with a $30 reservation credit if you reserved ahead of time, and can use the code PAYPAL100 for an additional $100 off select products.

Unlike the larger Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, the Z Fold 8 is tailored more for entertainment, featuring a wider, shorter design that resembles a small tablet when unfolded. The 4:3 inner display is optimized for reading and gaming compared to previous models. It shares many features with the Ultra, including the Flex Titanium display technology for a less noticeable crease, a vibrant 120Hz OLED display, and the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy processor. The battery has been upgraded from 4,400mAh to a 4,800mAh silicon-carbon cell, though it drops the telephoto lens found on both the Fold 7 and Fold 8 Ultra in favor of a dual-camera system.

**Preorder the Galaxy Z Flip 8**
The Galaxy Z Flip 8 starts at $1,199.99 for the 256GB model with 12GB of RAM, while the 512GB version is priced at $1,399.99. It’s available in pink, graphite, cream, or mint, with mint being exclusive to Samsung’s online store.

Preordering the Galaxy Z Flip 8 from Amazon or Best Buy nets you a $200 gift card. Samsung is offering $150 in credit, along with a $30 reservation credit for eligible customers, and up to $100 off select products.

The Galaxy Z Flip 8 retains its clamshell design, featuring a 6.9-inch OLED main display and a 4.1-inch OLED cover screen for checking notifications, replying to messages, and accessing apps without unfolding the device. It keeps the 50-megapixel main camera paired with a 12-megapixel ultrawide and a 4,300mAh battery.

The most significant updates include a thinner and lighter build, along with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy processor. The cover screen has also been enhanced, allowing access to notifications, quick settings, and a full app drawer with simple swipe gestures, eliminating the need for Samsung’s Good Lock app to launch apps from the outer display.
