Apple turned a lot of heads earlier this month by unveiled the iPhone Duo—the world’s first foldable iPhone. While Apple users are getting excited about the prospect of a phone that can fold in half, Android users have been enjoying this tech for years. Samsung pioneered the foldable smartphone and is already on its eighth generation of devices. If you’re curious to make the switch over from your hingeless rectangle to a foldable phone, now is a great time because Amazon has the Galaxy Z Fold8 on sale for 13% off. Normally starting at $1,900, the limited-time deal ends up taking the price down to as low as just $1,650—saving you a good $250 while the deal is still active.
That’s the price for the 256GB model. If you require a higher storage capacity, you can instead of for the 512GB model. That one normally sells for $2,100 but has come down to just $1,850—also a savings of $50 for a limited time.
Brand New Fold
While we’re eight generations into the Galaxy Z Fold, this model has one of the biggest changes between versions seen yet. Samsung went ahead and completely reworked the form factor. Previously, when closed, the phone’s outer screen would take on a pretty standard aspect ratio when compared to non-foldable phones. When opened up, that screen real estate would double, but still be taller than it is wide.
With the Galaxy Z Fold8, Samsung opted to instead give the phone more passport-like proportions. When unfolded, the screen now stretched horizontal being closer to the experience of holding a tablet in landscape. This is also the direction Apple decided to go with the iPhone Duo.
While its unfolded, it fits movies and books or can just be used for more comfortable texting or web browsing. The aspect ratio when closed is 10:16 and it now unfolds to 4:3. Who new that the best way to watch Twin Peaks in 2026 would be on your phone?
The camera system is quite powerful. You get dual 50MP cameras on the outside for wide or ultra wide shooting. The cover screen and main screen each have a 10MP camera for selfies and video chats.
Samsung has its flagship foldable phone available in three different colors. You can choose either graphite, cream, or lavender. All three colors are seeing the same $250 discount across storage sizes so you can pick whichever matches your own personal tastes knowing you’re still getting the best deal regardless.
