Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra hits its lowest price since launch

If you missed the release promotions for the recent round of Samsung Galaxy phones, you’re in luck. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is $300 off at Best Buy, the best deal we’ve seen since the phone launched last month. The phone impressed us with its rear triple camera setup, excellent battery life, and slim, refined design, but the price held it back from true greatness. That’s helped by the discount, which brings the price down to $1,799.99 for the 256GB model.

The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra received a number of improvements over the previous generation’s Z Fold 7, including brighter interior and exterior screens, sharper cameras, and faster charging. The improved hinge design should be more durable, although it didn’t quite hold up to JerryRigEverything’s rigorous testing, and the IP48 water and dust resistance is lower than other folding phones like the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. The larger battery, up to 5,000mAh from the Z Fold 7’s 4,400mAh, helps the device last a full day on a single charge.
