What could possibly constitute a better deal right now than getting the Galaxy Z Fold 8 at $250 off its list price with no strings attached? How about an even heftier $300 discount and an extra 400 bucks to spend on one or several Galaxy "accessories" of your choice? And all without an obligatory device trade-in.

No, Black Friday hasn't arrived yet (it's not even a regular Friday today), but for some reason (cough, iPhone Duo, cough), Samsung is absolutely crushing Amazon's generosity to try to boost the already impressive mass appeal of its first-ever wide foldable to over 9,000.

If you prefer clamshell-style foldable, the hot new Galaxy Z Flip 8 is also massively discounted already with no special requirements.

The Galaxy Z Fold 8 is one of the hottest and most popular foldable devices in the world right now, and at a $300 discount with an additional $400 Samsung Store credit also included, it's clearly even hotter and harder to turn down. This is the wide model equipped with 7.6 and 5.5-inch screens, as well as two 50MP rear-facing cameras and a 4,800mAh battery capable of charging at up to 45W speeds, and the killer new deal doesn't require a trade-in or anything else of that sort.

The "standard" Z Fold 8, remember, made its US commercial debut at a lower recommended price of $1,899.99 compared to the Z Fold 8 Ultra. But then the larger, narrower, and slightly more sophisticated model scored a $300 discount (at both Samsung and Amazon), becoming more affordable than its non-Ultra brother all of a sudden.

In a way therefore, this unprecedented Galaxy Z Fold 8 deal is not totally surprising... although I definitely never expected it to be this insanely good. At $1,599.99 and up, one of the best foldable phones around is clearly even better from a bang-for-buck perspective, and when you add the complimentary $400 store credit to the value equation as well, it becomes virtually impossible to resist this promotion and buy something else... or wait for Apple's long overdue first foldable iPhone to finally see daylight (and escape its widely reported production issues).

Just remember to use the free credit before completing your Z Fold 8 order, because otherwise you will lose the chance to get a gratis Galaxy Watch 9, for instance, or a deeply discounted Galaxy Watch Ultra 2. Or free wireless earbuds of your choice and something else, like a protective case for your new wide foldable, a fast charger, a wireless charger, or even a discounted tablet or laptop.

The $300 Galaxy Z Fold 8 price cut, of course, applies to all storage variants and color options, so if you prefer, for instance, to get a top-of-the-line 1TB model, you're currently looking at paying $2,199.99 instead of $2,499.99. That's probably around how much Apple will charge for its most affordable iPhone Duo configuration, and if you think the Cupertino-based tech giant will ever give you $100 store credit (let alone $400), you must live in a parallel reality.

$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.
