T-Mobile will give you the new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip for practically nothing if you preorder now

T-Mobile is offering an enticing deal on the new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 flip phone, giving new and existing customers the chance to preorder it for $100, a significant discount from its original price of $1,200. This offer is available to those activating a line or trading in an eligible device on an Experience More or Experience Beyond plan.

With the phone expected to be widely available on Friday, this deal won't last long. The Galaxy Z Flip 8 boasts a 6.9-inch dynamic AMOLED inner display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a redesigned FlexWindow, as well as a 50MP camera with hands-free shooting and auto stabilization. It comes in 256GB and 512GB storage options, available in Cream, Graphite, or Pink colorways.

While the deal does require customers to buy the phone upfront or through monthly payments, they'll receive bill credits over 24 months to help offset the cost, with a $35 activation fee. However, there are some restrictions: if you cancel your account or pay off the device early, you'll need to pay the remaining balance, and the bill credits will stop.

T-Mobile's Experience More plan starts at $85 a month with AutoPay, offering a five-year price guarantee and unlimited premium data, while the Experience Beyond plan at $100 a month includes a Hulu subscription in addition to perks. For those committed to T-Mobile and interested in the Z Flip 8, this deal represents significant savings and is highly recommended, earning a 4/5 editor's deal rating.
