The new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 gets a $350 Prime Day price drop
Oct 6, 2026 — 9:22 AM ET

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 just dropped to $1,749.99 in the Prime Day sale, down from its $2,099.99 retail price. That saves you $350, a 17% discount relative to the RRP. That makes now a great time to grab Samsung’s new book-style foldable, as it’s by far the best price we have seen since launch.
Samsung designed the Galaxy Z Fold 8 with a wider, shorter shape that makes the outer screen easier to type on, while the large inner display is better suited for reading, watching videos, and running multiple apps at once. It is the more mainstream option in Samsung’s 2026 foldable lineup, sitting below the new Fold 8 Ultra.
The Fold 8 also stands out for its multitasking features and tablet-like inner screen, which feels more practical than earlier narrow Fold models. Samsung also positions it as a Galaxy AI showcase, with on-device tools for writing, translation, productivity, and photo and video features built into the foldable experience. On top of that, battery life is said to be improved over earlier generations, with a larger battery and faster charging. Amazon shoppers also rate it highly, with a 4.6 out of 5 score.
