The brand-new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 just hit its lowest price ever — save $250 right now

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 has dropped to its lowest price ever, saving buyers $250. As of September 9, Amazon is selling the 256GB model for $1,649.99, a 13% discount off its original $1,899.99 price. This makes the Galaxy Z Fold 8 the cheapest Samsung flagship foldable since its launch. The redesigned phone feels more like a standard smartphone when closed, but opens up to a large tablet-style display for improved viewing and typing.

Powered by a Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and 12GB of RAM, the Fold 8 handles mobile games and multitasking with ease. It also boasts a 4,800 mAh battery for all-day use and fast charging. Samsung has streamlined the setup process for iPhone users, making it easy to transfer contacts, photos, passwords, and alarms. Despite minor camera performance issues and a warm frame under heavy use, reviewers consider the Galaxy Z Fold 8 the best foldable they've tested, making it an ideal choice for those on the fence about folding phones.
