Overview
- Samsung made the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Z Fold 8 Ultra, Z Flip 8 and new Galaxy watches widely available on Friday with regional pricing now posted.
- The Galaxy Z Flip 8 starts at $1,199.99 in the U.S., while Canadian list prices place Fold and Flip models well above prior generations.
- Trade‑in and launch incentives vary sharply between sellers: Best Buy advertises up to $1,200 off with a trade, and carriers such as T‑Mobile and AT&T are offering up to $1,900 off with qualifying plans and trade‑ins.
- Some preorder bonuses and extra discount codes have expired or been reduced, and retailers have adjusted trade‑in valuations and gift‑card offers, leaving effective prices fluid across channels.
- Strong preorder demand drained initial stock and created shipping delays for popular Fold 8 configurations, which is affecting which promotions remain available and how long buyers must wait.
