Overview
- Labor Day deals at Amazon, Best Buy and Samsung.com cut new Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra prices by about $300, with some outlets and listings showing up to $350 off.
- Best Buy is listing “excellent” open-box Ultra units at much deeper discounts that reach roughly $570–$600 off the new list prices.
- Samsung has reduced trade-in credits from its preorder peak and is matching the straight discounts across its store, making the Ultra available for as low as $1,749–$1,799 in some channels.
- Retailers shifted promotion strategies in the weeks after the August 7 launch, moving away from large trade-in bundles toward simple price cuts to move leftover stock quickly.
- The price moves make the $2,099 Ultra far more accessible for buyers who could not meet trade-in requirements and could signal steeper holiday markdowns if inventory remains heavy.
