The big day has arrived for so many hardcore Samsung fans and foldable enthusiasts in general, and now that the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Z Fold 8 Ultra, and Z Flip 8 are finally official, it's time to make your decision.

Will you go for one of the three versatile new Android powerhouses or not? And if yes, will you try to be one of the first people in the world to own them or wait for retailers like Amazon to slash their admittedly high prices? How about the equally new and exciting Galaxy Watch 9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2? Is this the right time to buy a new smartwatch, phone, tablet, or headphones?

I'm not going to claim to offer the definitive answers to all those questions for every single one of you, but I'll certainly try to make your life and your next mobile product buying decision easier in the following lines.

This week's top three deals are predictable... and predictably amazing

The least exciting of Samsung's three new foldable devices is definitely worth taking into consideration if you prefer smaller and equally versatile handsets, especially with a $200 Amazon gift card included. This is a pre-order deal likely to expire on August 7, but if you have your eyes set on a specific Galaxy Z Flip 7 colorway (maybe that swanky pink one), you will probably want to hurry.

Pre-order at Amazon

The "regular" Galaxy Z Fold 8 looks radically different from last year's Galaxy Z Fold 7 at first glance, revising the shape of Samsung's book-style foldable to prepare for the imminent arrival of Apple's iPhone Ultra. The first foldable iPhone, of course, is likely to be a lot costlier than this model, which includes a super-valuable $350 Amazon gift card during its pre-order window to seal the deal for undecided potential buyers.

As the name suggests, this is without a doubt Samsung's most sophisticated new foldable, not only packing a state-of-the-art Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor but a hefty 5,000mAh battery with 45W charging support as well. The 200 + 10 + 50MP triple rear-facing camera system and the extra-large 8 and 6.5-inch screens further enhance the Z Fold 8 Ultra value proposition, especially in combination with a free $350 Amazon gift card in your favorite storage configuration and color option.

Pre-order at Amazon

I know that Samsung doesn't appear to care much about clamshell-style foldables anymore, but I still think they have a future, so there was no way I would just ignore the Galaxy Z Flip 8 today.

In fact, there was no other acceptable option for me than to treat Samsung's latest additions to the Galaxy Z family equally, even though Amazon obviously doesn't, including a much more valuable gift card with the two costlier book-style models than the company's newest flip phone.

Still, I believe there's an audience for the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Z Fold 8 Ultra, and Z Flip 8, and regardless of your choice, the best pre-order deal (with no special requirements or strings attached) can currently be found on Amazon.

These other smartphone offers are not to be ignored either

$200 off (25%)

One of the best compact phones money can buy right now is obviously even more attractive than usual at a substantial $200 discount in both 128 and 256GB storage variants and a grand total of four color options. Despite its limited size, the "vanilla" Pixel 10 certainly packs a punch, with a Tensor G5 processor and 4,970mAh battery under its hood, while also shining in the camera versatility, screen quality, and memory departments.

Buy at Amazon

$320 off (32%)

The awkward middle member of the Galaxy S25 family is clearly not the world's best-selling Android phone, but at a huge $320 discount, it's also more compelling than ever. After all, that 6.7-inch Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X screen is definitely no pushover, and the same goes for the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, 12GB RAM count, 45W charging-capable 4,900mAh battery, and 50 + 10 + 12MP triple rear-facing camera setup.

Buy at Amazon

$300 off (30%)

The Pixel 10 Pro is obviously costlier than the non-Pro Pixel 10, but for a presumably limited time only, it's also more steeply discounted in a single 128GB storage variant and single Obsidian colorway. This 6.3-inch model stands out with a phenomenal 50 + 48 + 48MP triple rear-facing camera system and no less than 16GB RAM, even in combination with just 128GB internal storage space.

Buy at Amazon

$150 off (17%)

The other objectively amazing compact Android phone on the market right now is significantly costlier than Google's Pixel 10, but at least it's 150 bucks cheaper than usual. The 6.3-inch Galaxy S26 comes with 256GB internal storage space in its entry-level configuration, as well as 12GB RAM, a stunning Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X screen, razor-thin 7.2mm profile, and a triple rear-facing camera system composed of 50, 10, and 12MP sensors.

$700 off (47%)

Can you believe that last year's Motorola Razr Ultra flagship is somehow still marked down by an outstanding 700 bucks and still bundled with free Moto Buds 2 in its top-of-the-line 1TB storage variant? This killer deal will clearly expire... eventually and probably never return, so if you're into high-end flip phones with massive screens, great cameras, and blazing fast charging, you should pull the trigger ASAP.

$300 off (17%)

The appeal of the slowly aging Pixel 10 Pro Fold seems to have been massively improved by not just the latest Pixel 11 Pro Fold rumors but the official announcement of the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Fold 8 Ultra as well. The 2025-released book-style Google giant is especially compelling at a $300 discount in a 256GB storage variant that also packs 16GB RAM and a gargantuan 5,015mAh battery with 30W charging support.

Buy at Amazon

Because I know not everyone is a fan of foldable devices (I'm actually still a slab devotee myself), I have a bunch of "normal" smartphone promotions to recommend as well, starting with the compact Pixel 10 and Galaxy S26 at $200 and $150 discounts, respectively.

The Pixel 10 Pro is also small, remarkably powerful, and somehow even more deeply discounted than its cheaper brother, while the Galaxy S25 Plus is curiously enough the only "conventional" jumbo-sized handset worth buying this week by a bargain hunter who understands the S26+ is just slightly better and yet considerably more expensive.

Circling back to foldables because, well, they're kind of the future of the mobile industry, the Razr Ultra (2025) and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold are very clearly your greatest alternatives to the Galaxy Z Flip 8 and the Z Fold 8 and Z Fold 8 Ultra, respectively, impressing not just with their affordability at their latest discounts but things like battery capacity, screen size, screen quality, and charging speeds as well. I'm actually this close to advising you to ignore Samsung's latest foldables... for the time being.

This is a lot of affordable tablets at unbeatable prices!

$189 ⁹⁹

$289 ⁹⁹

$100 off (34%)

One of Lenovo's most affordable Android tablets is currently on sale at a truly unbeatable price after a massive 34 percent discount. The Idea Tab comes with a reasonably smooth 90Hz refresh rate-capable 11-inch screen, as well as an octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor, 8GB RAM, 128GB internal storage space, a 7,040mAh battery with 20W charging support, and incredibly enough, a Lenovo Tab Pen included in its newly reduced price.

$70 off (18%)

Samsung's most affordable tablet that comes with a built-in S Pen is marked down by 70 bucks from an already reasonable $399.99 list price, and although its design is obviously not as premium as that of a Galaxy Tab S11, the 6.6mm profile is an absolute budget-friendly winner. The same goes for the 25W charging-capable 8,000mAh battery, the Exynos 1380 processor, 10.9-inch LCD screen with 90Hz refresh rate technology, and even the respectable 6GB RAM/128GB internal storage space combination.

$50 off (13%)

Released just a few weeks ago, the 12.1-inch AI-powered Lenovo Tab Plus Gen 2 promises to blow your mind with a grand total of nine JBL speakers. The rest of the specs are obviously far less impressive, but at $50 under an already reasonable $399.99 list price, the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 processor, 8GB RAM, 10,200mAh battery with 45W charging technology, and 120Hz refresh rate-capable screen are also incredibly hard to beat.

$419 ⁹⁹

$499 ⁹⁹

$80 off (16%)

The 13-inch Lenovo Idea Tab Pro Gen 2 is a perfectly well-balanced Android all-rounder with a phenomenal price, especially at a cool new $80 discount. The tablet's screen is not only large but also super-sharp and silky smooth, the battery is fittingly massive and equipped with blazing fast charging, the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor is practically unrivaled in the sub-$500 segment, and for a Lenovo device, the long-term software support sounds pretty great too.

$60 off (12%)

The first-ever Android-powered rugged tablet to carry the Think brand is on sale at its first-ever discount, impressing not only with its affordability and promised durability but a user-removable 10,200mAh battery and industry-leading security as well. The 10.95-inch screen with 90Hz refresh rate technology is obviously no pushover either, and the same goes for the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor and 8GB RAM count.

$679 ⁹⁹

$170 off (20%)

Lenovo's latest and greatest gaming-focused tablet is obviously not cheap, but that's because it doesn't have much direct competition in the US right now with a top-of-the-line Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor under the hood and a compact but undeniably gorgeous 8.8-inch PureSight display with 165Hz refresh rate technology in tow. For the first time since its relatively recent commercial debut, the Legion Tab Gen 5 is marked down by more than $150, which almost makes it worth your time and money, especially when you consider its fancy cooling technology and dual USB Type-C ports.

Buy at Lenovo

... and almost all of them come from a single brand... that's not Apple or Samsung. Lenovo is truly pulling off an achievement for the ages this week, selling all of its latest Android tablets (and an older model) at lower-than-ever prices no iPads or Galaxy Tabs can currently rival.

Yes, the 11-inch Idea Tab is an arguably better value proposition than the likes of the Galaxy Tab A11 Plus, while the Lenovo Tab Plus Gen 2, Idea Tab Pro Gen 2, and ThinkTab X11 clearly deliver superior bang for your buck (not to mention more unique selling points) than the Galaxy Tab S10 FE, Tab S10 FE Plus, iPad 11, and iPad Air (2206) duo.

Last but certainly not least, the Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 5 can be a smarter ultra-high-end option than the Galaxy Tab S11, Tab S11 Ultra, or iPad Pro (2025) family, especially for hardcore gamers... as long as you don't mind the compact 8.8-inch screen. Oh, and the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite is also here for the sake of diversity and for those of you who care more about long-term software support than processing power or RAM counts.

Looking for a good smartwatch at a great price? Here are six of them!

$70 off (23%)

The Pixel Watch 5 is near, but that doesn't mean the Pixel Watch 3 is no longer worth taking into account if you're on a tight budget this summer. Yes, the 2024-released Google wearable can be an excellent low-cost option for Android smartphone users at a hefty new discount in a 45mm version equipped with GPS, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi only connectivity.

Buy at Amazon

$100 off (22%)

The Pixel Watch 4 is obviously better... and costlier than its predecessor, but if you hurry, you can save a cool $100 on a small model with standalone cellular connectivity. This thing offers better battery life, improved processing power, superior screen brightness, and faster charging compared to the Pixel Watch 3, clearly being one of the best smartwatches you can buy in 2026.

Buy at Amazon

$130 off (34%)

The Galaxy Watch 8 is obviously perfect for hardcore Samsung fans who can't afford the new and improved Galaxy Watch 9, especially at a whopping $130 discount in a 44mm size. This killer Bluetooth-only deal is unlikely to last very long, so you better hurry.

Buy at Amazon

$149 off (30%)

The Apple Watch Series 11 is clearly trying to outshine Samsung's brand-new Galaxy Watch 9 at an unusually hefty $150 discount in a cellular-enabled variant with a small 42mm case. This looks like a Black Friday-grade deal on the best non-rugged smartwatch an iPhone user can currently buy, so you probably don't want to miss your opportunity to maximize your summer savings.

Buy at Amazon

$50 off (12%)

Technically, the Galaxy Watch 9 is not actually discounted because it's obviously far too early for that. But if you're excited about Samsung's use of Qualcomm's hot new Snapdragon Wear Elite processor, you'll probably be delighted to see Amazon bundle an always handy $50 gift card with the new wearable powerhouse.

Pre-order at Amazon

$100 off (13%)

Yes, the second-gen Galaxy Watch Ultra is unsurprisingly slightly costlier than its rugged predecessor. But its processing power, battery life, and screen brightness improvements are anything but slight, and alongside a complimentary $100 Amazon gift card, Samsung's latest Apple Watch Ultra alternative might be impossible to turn down for outdoor lovers and adventurers in general.

Pre-order at Amazon

Now this is where making the right buying decision gets tricky. Because as awesome as the brand-new Galaxy Watch 9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 undeniably look on paper, last year's Galaxy Watch 8 looks equally compelling at a massively reduced price.

Then you've got the Pixel Watch 3 and Pixel Watch 4 to choose from if you're a hardcore Google fan... unwilling to wait for the Pixel Watch 5 or unimpressed by what's expected from the search giant's next big Apple Watch rival, and speaking of that, the Apple Watch Series 11 just so happens to be on sale at a hefty discount of its own, which could make many holdouts no longer wait for a Series 12 that's still largely shrouded in secrecy.

Discounted earbuds or headphones? Why not both?

$70 off (41%)

If you can't afford the AirPods Pro 3 or Beats Powerbeats Pro 2, the Studio Buds Plus are a perfectly acceptable alternative with state-of-the-art active noise cancellation, Spatial Audio, stellar battery life, a beautiful design, and a killer price, especially at a hefty $70 discount in three snazzy colorways.

Buy at Amazon

$40 off (27%)

Samsung's newest Fan Edition earbuds come with a far more advanced set of capabilities and features than you'd expect from the FE program, as well as an unbeatable price right now. The spec sheet includes active noise cancellation, a large and powerful 11mm dynamic speaker with deep bass, and up to 24 hours of battery life (with the bundled charging case factored in), while the already fairly reasonable $149.99 price is marked down by a cool $40.

Buy at Amazon

$120 off (30%)

Known primarily for home sound systems and speakers, Sonos has sure hit it out of the park with the over-ear Ace headphones as well. With active noise cancellation, Spatial Audio technology with dynamic head tracking support, all-day comfort, and all-day battery life, these bad boys are incredibly hard to turn down at a $120 discount in a single black colorway.

Buy at Amazon

$100 off (18%)

The second-gen AirPods Max are obviously not the world's most affordable over-ear headphones, but for a presumably limited time only, you can get them at a $100 discount in no less than five different color options. The spec sheet is great, the overall audio quality absolutely outstanding, and the battery life not too shabby, but the price remains a little high.

Buy at Amazon

I know that most people either prefer true wireless earbuds or larger over-ear headphones, but perhaps you can get the Sonos Ace for yourself and the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 FE for a loved one.

Or how about the AirPods Max 2 for your spouse and a pair of unpretentious but decidedly powerful and versatile Beats Studio Buds Plus for yourself? After all, these four products are certainly affordable enough today to allow for a bundle or even two that might seem a lot harder to complete on any other given Friday.

$90

$210

$120 off (57%)

Mint Mobile is now allowing you to get whichever plan you like for either three, six, or 12 months for just $15/mo. If you go for the six-month unlimited service, for instance, you'll now have to pay just $90 upfront instead of $210.
