Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 series is officially available today and, as per usual, that comes with some cuts to the deals that were available during the pre-order period, including some big cuts to trade-in values. Here’s an overview and where to find the best deal.
During the pre-order period, Samsung offered up to $1,200 off of its new foldable series as well as several other perks, and there were some great offers through third-party retail too.
As of today, August 7, the best Galaxy Z Fold 8 deals have largely vanished. Samsung.com has cut trade-in values across the board, with the max trade-in down $200 across all new devices. Amazon has kept the best offers, but the wide Fold 8 is fully sold out.
It’s Best Buy, true to its name, with the best offer right now. $1,200 trade-in values remain and with a $200 gift card on top of that. Plus, it seems devices are largely in stock both for shipping and store pickup for some variants.
Here’s a quick look at how trade-in values break down compared to the pre-order period:
