  "summary": "The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 is set to be released on August 7. Preorder promotions for the device will likely change or end after the release date. Some retailers are currently offering discounts and freebies with preorders, including a $350 gift card with Amazon and up to $200 in gift cards with Best Buy and Samsung.\n\nThe Galaxy Z Fold 8 has a starting price of $1,899.99, while the higher-end Z Fold 8 Ultra costs $2,099.99. According to Android Authority, a survey of over 1,000 respondents found that nearly 60% of people preferred the wider form factor of the standard Z Fold 8.\n\nMashable notes that the Z Fold 8 Ultra has a similar design to its predecessor, the Z Fold 7, with a slightly thinner build and a modest camera upgrade. The device's battery has also received a sizable boost over last year's model.",
