Overview
- Major retailers including Best Buy, Amazon and Samsung are offering a straight $300 discount on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, which brings the 256GB model down to about $1,799.99.
- Amazon is promoting a $350 gift‑card bundle as an alternative to a cash discount, letting buyers use the credit on other purchases.
- Best Buy is listing 'excellent' open‑box Ultra units at much deeper cuts, with some listings reduced by as much as roughly $600 from new prices.
- Samsung's online store continues to present large instant trade‑in values for recent Samsung phones and steep discounts on add‑ons such as Galaxy Buds and Watch models when bought with the phone.
- Strong early preorders and launch trade‑in incentives left the Ultra positioned as a premium model, but Labor Day markdowns give buyers clear choices and could pressure retailers to further lower prices or push bundled hardware deals to move remaining stock.
