If you were after a foldable model, Black Friday was the perfect time to get one. The Galaxy Z Fold 6 reached an all-time low of $1097.99 in its 512GB configuration, which equates to $921 in savings. This bargain was only available for a short while, though. Afterward, the maximum discount at the official store was $800 without trade-ins.
Prefer Amazon? Well, discounts weren't quite as juicy over there. The Galaxy Z Fold 6 was $580 off in select colors.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6
What we like
- New 50 MP main camera
- More natural colors on photos
- Design feels sturdier, almost no visible crease
What we don't like
- Same 12MP ultra-wide as Z Flip 5
- Higher prices in some regions
- Crease can still be felt slightly when scrolling
