The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra was one of the standout deals during the October Prime Day event. But while that gorgeous $400 price cut is gone on most models (and those that are still $400 off are temporarily out of stock), you can actually buy the foldable phone with a pretty generous discount over at the official store.

Samsung's own deal currently matches the Prime Big Deal Days offer, allowing you to get the 256GB version of this phone for $1,699.99 instead of $2,099.99. If this kind of configuration won't suit your needs, the 512GB and the 1TB variants are also down by $400.

Prefer non-foldable options? The Galaxy S26 Ultra is $450 cheaper right now, and I suggest you check it out.

Samsung is now allowing you to save $400 on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. This offer matches what Amazon had in store during Prime Day in October. If you missed out on this event, this is your second chance to get the high-end foldable at its lowest price since launch.

Put simply, if you didn't have the opportunity to upgrade during the October 6-7 shopping spree (or you simply aren't a Prime member), this is your second chance to try Samsung's latest premium foldable at its best price since launch.

While the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra doesn't offer a complete overhaul of Samsung's design language, I think this is actually an advantage. The South Korean tech giant launched the Galaxy Z Fold 7 with a slightly wider cover display, and the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra keeps the tradition.

The cover display measures 6.5 inches, while the main display sits at 8 inches, identical to the Galaxy Z Fold 7. However, as you can see from the display measurements in our Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra review, the latest foldable achieves higher brightness and has a significantly better color accuracy.

Combine that with a supremely powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip and a slew of premium Galaxy AI features, and you've got a foldable phone that excels on every front. Mind you, the camera is pretty good as well (for a foldable phone), giving you incredibly detailed images with lifelike colors and excellent dynamic range.

However you look at it, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is one of the best foldable phones in 2026. While it's a bit expensive even for a foldable model (the Pixel 11 Pro Fold and the Motorola Razr Fold are cheaper), it's definitely much easier to recommend right now. Save $400 at Samsung.
