I don’t suppose there are many iPhone users who might be tempted by the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 now that the iPhone Duo is both real and coming very soon. But if you’ll entertain a great deal, there are big discounts happening for both the passport-style Z Fold 8 and the slimmer, taller Z Fold 8 Ultra during October Prime Day . Originally $1,899.99, the Z Fold 8 with 256GB of storage is $1,549.99 at Amazon, or $100 more at Best Buy.
This beats the previous best sale price by $100. The Z Fold 8 Ultra, which has better cameras, now starts at $1,699.99 (originally $2,099.99). It’s $150 lower than the previous best price before Prime Day.

Where to Buy: $2099.99 $1699.99 at Amazon $2099.99 $1849.99 at Best Buy The Z Fold 8 isn’t the first passport-style foldable, but it’s the most polished so far. Our reviewer Dominic Preston found its small size to be unexpectedly comfortable, and its 4:3 aspect ratio inner screen is great for reading and watching content. The Z Fold 8 Ultra is an iterative upgrade over the Z Fold 7.
It has better, well, everything, from its displays and cameras to its chipset and almost-invisible crease. It’s definitely the specs powerhouse of the two foldables. Read our Z Fold 8 review and our Z Fold 8 Ultra review .
