Overview
- On Monday retailers including Amazon and Best Buy dropped the Galaxy Z Fold 8 by $250, pricing the 256GB at about $1,650 and the 512GB at about $1,850.
- The larger Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is broadly marked down by roughly $300 with prices starting near $1,800 at major sellers.
- This is the first straight cash discount for the wider Fold 8 since launch and follows a period of heavy preorders and limited retail availability.
- Buyers can further lower the effective cost through stacked trade-ins, with Amazon offering a reported $200 trade-in boost and Best Buy advertising up to $750 in trade-in value.
- These offers are part of final-day Labor Day promotions and are time limited, and analysts say the move signals retailers are clearing inventory which could lead to more holiday markdowns if stock remains high.
