Samsung has fully restocked its smash-hit Galaxy Z Fold 8 while also discounting the usually-more-expensive Galaxy Z Fold 8 UItra.
Following some early stock shortages and a behind-the-scenes scramble to make more units, Samsung has fully restocked the Galaxy Z Fold 8 in the US. The wider foldable is currently available across every color and storage variant on Samsung.com, something that wasn’t the case even a couple of days ago. All variants are also shipping in two weeks or less, with most reporting shipping dates as early as next Tuesday.
Samsung has dropped trade-in offers by a fair bit, now capping trade-in credits at $800 compared to $1,200 during the pre-order window, but it’s still not all that hard to get a good deal on a Fold 8.
Even more so the Fold 8 Ultra, which Samsung has officially discounted across all channels. Samsung.com, Best Buy, Amazon, and more have all cut the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra’s starting price from the usual $2,099 down to $1,799, a clear signal that the company’s former form factor isn’t resonating as much this year. The steep discount also makes the Ultra device cheaper than the wide Galaxy Z Fold 8.
While Samsung shows the lower price on its main dashboard, it’s not showing for all users. There is a $350 instant savings credit available if you skip a trade-in, though, which cuts the price to $1,749. Galaxy Z Flip 8 is also down to $1,049 right now.
