If the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra has topped your shopping list for the last few weeks but you've been waiting for the state-of-the-art new book-style foldable to score its first outright discount, the time has come to push the "buy" button on Samsung's official US website.

Yes, the world's (projected) number one smartphone vendor is today outdoing Amazon and all other third-party retailers by slashing a whopping 300 bucks off the regular prices of the more "conventional" Z Fold 8 version with no strings attached. That means that you don't need to trade in your existing device, activate your new handset on a specific carrier, or jump through any other hoops to pay as little as $1,799.99 for it.

Samsung fans in the market for a cheaper non-foldable Galaxy high-ender can go for the "vanilla" S26 at a substantial discount today.

$1799 ⁹⁹

$2099 ⁹⁹

$300 off (14%)

Believe it or not, you don't need to meet any special requirements whatsoever to be able to slash $300 off the list prices of the brand-new Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra in all storage variants and color options right now. Even better, you're also eligible for $400 instant Samsung Store credit you can use towards smartwatches, wireless earbuds, tablets, or protective smartphone accessories of your choice.

Even better, you'll also get a complimentary $400 store credit that you'll have to use to "complete your Galaxy family" before finalizing your Z Fold 8 Ultra order. While you obviously can't reduce the list price of the hot new foldable even further with that freebie or claim a discount on a second phone, the Galaxy Watch 9 can be yours at no cost. Or you can get the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro for free. Or another smartwatch. Or another pair of earbuds. Or even a tablet.

The possibilities are, well, not endless but pretty varied, also including a host of handy protective accessories for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra itself, and depending on the value of the phone's "companions" you might want, you can even score multiple items for free or at massively reduced prices.

Now, I'm obviously not going to try to convince you that a $1,799.99 and up phone is affordable by any measure of the word, but that's definitely better than paying $2,099 and up for the same device, especially when you also consider the $400 credit.

This is a much better deal than what I've seen offered by Amazon and Best Buy since the Z Fold 8 Ultra was unveiled a little over a month ago as well, and it's actually the kind of sale I didn't expect Samsung to run before Black Friday in late November either.

Granted, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra doesn't appear to be anywhere near as popular as the "regular" (read wide) Z Fold 8, but I always assumed that was mostly about the Ultra's extravagant pricing. Otherwise, this is clearly better than its brother in a number of key ways (starting with camera performance), so I expect a lot of you to reconsider your top foldable option... ahead of the iPhone Ultra's long overdue announcement.

Get a free Galaxy A17 with Straight Talk. To claim this deal, you need to pair the phone with activation on a Silver Unlimited Plan or higher. This tier costs $45 per month. Offer valid through 01/10/27 while supplies last online.
