Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 is $300 off ahead of Black Friday

Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 is being offered at a discounted price of $1,599.99, a $300 reduction from its standard cost. This discount is available on both Amazon and Best Buy, making it an attractive deal for smartphone enthusiasts. Interestingly, the 512GB variant of the unlocked device is priced just $200 more than the standard model.

Currently, Best Buy has all three colors of the Galaxy Z Fold 8 in stock, while the 256GB version is sold out on Amazon in cream. The device's passport-style shape and thin, light construction make it comfortable to handle, as noted by reviewer Dominic Preston. Despite its slim profile, the Z Fold 8 boasts a robust 4,800mAh battery, retaining 40% charge after a full day of use.

The 4:3 screen ratio, similar to many Apple iPads, enhances the viewing experience for movies, TV shows, and reading. However, the device lacks a telephoto lens and only carries an IP48 rating, suggesting caution when near the beach. Despite minor drawbacks, the discounted price makes the Galaxy Z Fold 8 a compelling choice. Other noteworthy deals include the Beats Pill speaker at a discounted price of $99.95-$99.99 on Amazon and Best Buy, the Ring Battery Doorbell 2K at $39.99 on Amazon, and the Lego Star Wars: Ahsoka Chopper set for $66.99 on Amazon, the lowest price observed for this 1,039-piece kit.
