As difficult as it might feel to resist buying the Galaxy S26 Ultra at its greatest Amazon price yet, I'm sure a significant chunk of Samsung's hardcore fanbase will be inclined to do just that and opt for probably the best foldable phone available in the US today when they hear about the Galaxy Z Fold 7's latest discount.

Much like its non-foldable cousin, the book-style powerhouse is on sale at an absolutely unbeatable price for Amazon Prime members only after a $500 markdown. The unprecedented discount applies to both an entry-level 256GB storage configuration that typically costs $1,999.99 and a 512 gig variant normally available for $2,119.99, and whichever of those two models you prefer (and can afford), you'll be able to choose between three similarly eye-catching colorways.

With a large 8-inch main display and a pretty impressive 6.5-inch cover screen in tow, as well as a powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite processor under the hood and a respectable 4,400mAh battery equipped with 25W charging technology, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is arguably the best book-style foldable available in the US today, especially at an unprecedented $500 discount (for Amazon Prime members only).

Previously, the Z Fold 7 has been marked down by $350 and $400 on Amazon many times (including as recently as a few weeks ago), but at least as far as I'm aware, the e-commerce giant has never before offered a discount quite as hefty as this new one (with or without strings attached).

The timing of this Prime Day 2026 promotion feels pretty fortunate, as we're close enough to the official announcement of Samsung's next big foldables to know almost everything there is to know about them but not quite so close to their commercial release for you to regret "settling" for last year's Galaxy Z Fold 7.

The Galaxy Z Fold 8, remember, is widely (pun intended) expected to be offered in two flavors, one of which should be a little more affordable and sport a very similar design to Apple's long overdue iPhone Ultra while the other is technically the more "conventional"-looking follow-up to the Z Fold 7. The problem is the latter model, which will likely be called Z Fold 8 Ultra, is rumored to cost more than its predecessor (at launch).

That's more than $2,000, mind you, which makes today's Galaxy Z Fold 7 deal even harder to turn down, especially when you consider the two extra-large and extra-high-quality screens present here and all the other key strengths and selling points highlighted in our in-depth review from last year.
