After emailing out discounts to Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra buyers, Samsung's pre-order period ends in a couple of days. The company's discount stack is good, but Amazon's new offer looks like the better promotion if you don't have a phone to trade in.

Amazon's Galaxy Z Fold 8 Gift Card Offer The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8. Photographer: Chris Ratcliffe/Bloomberg © 2026 Bloomberg Finance LP Amazon is offering a free $350 gift card with either the Galaxy Z Fold 8 ($1,899) or Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra ($2,099). There’s no trade-in required, no contract and nothing to sign up for. The offer ends on August 6th, the day before the phones ship to pre-order buyers. Samsung’s own no-trade-in offer is a $200 Samsung credit. That’s $150 less than Amazon, and it can only be spent on Samsung.com. Amazon’s gift card is both sizable and far more useful because of the company’s seemingly endless catalogue of stuff to buy, not just Samsung products. If you don’t have a device to trade in, Amazon is the cleaner, better deal. MORE FOR YOU
But Amazon’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 Trade-In Prices Are Much Worse But, if you have a phone to trade in, or the right phone to swap, then Samsung's deal is better for you because the Korean company's pre-order trade-in prices are high right now. Samsung is currently offering up to $1,200 instant trade-in credit for your used phone, but only the Galaxy S26 Ultra nets that much. Prices for more realistic trade-ins are almost as impressive, though, especially compared to Amazon’s numbers. Forbes Galaxy S27 Release Date: Samsung Plans Huge Battery Life Upgrade Galaxy S24 Ultra: $396 on Amazon vs $850 at Samsung
Galaxy Z Fold 6: $350 on Amazon vs $1,100 at Samsung
iPhone 15 Pro Max: $410 on Amazon vs $500 at Samsung
Galaxy S22 Ultra: $195 on Amazon vs $500 at Samsung
iPhone 13 Pro Max: $295 on Amazon vs $195 at Samsung Samsung's trade-in pricing game remains unmatched for Galaxy devices. You are not getting anything close to $1,100 for your Galaxy Z Fold 6 anywhere else, and definitely not $850 for the Galaxy S24 Ultra. The gap narrows with other brands and the numbers shrink if you have a Pixel phone. For example, Samsung will pay $320 for your Pixel 10 Pro XL, which is still the current flagship Google phone, for now. But if you have a Samsung device, it’s worth checking what it’s worth before deciding where to buy the Galaxy Z Fold 8.
