Big Short-Term Discounts Hit Samsung Flagships Online

Retailers have cut prices and added low-cost accessory bundles to drive sales and widen the value gap between last- and current-generation Samsung phones.

Overview

  • Amazon is selling the 256GB Galaxy S25 Ultra (Titanium Gray) for $799, the lowest Amazon price reported for a new, unlocked unit.
  • Samsung.com and Amazon list Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Fold 8 Ultra at about $200 off their regular new-unit prices, with Samsung matching the reductions on its site.
  • Best Buy’s 'excellent' condition open-box Fold 8 listings offer much deeper savings, with some units priced roughly $570 or more below new retail levels.
  • Samsung is offering Galaxy Buds 4 Pro for $25 with qualifying Fold purchases, and Best Buy’s open-box units are covered by the retailer’s return policy but are not brand new.
  • Those deals reshape value for buyers because the S25 Ultra launched at $1,300 and the newer S26 Ultra is priced higher, and all offers are time-limited and subject to rapid inventory changes.
