Apple\u2019s iPhone Duo<\/a> has reignited the buzz around foldable devices, but it\u2019s not the only option worth your time (especially considering the shipping delays<\/a>). If you\u2019ve been wanting to switch to double screens, consider the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8<\/a>, now available for $1,599.99 at Amazon<\/a> and Best Buy<\/a> \u2014 that\u2019s $300 off, and the lowest price it\u2019s ever been.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\tSamsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 for $1,599.99 (save $300)\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Samsung\u2019s Galaxy Z Fold 8 earned a spot on our best phones<\/a> list and a ZDNET Editors\u2019 Choice award<\/a>. After extensive testing, smartphone reviewer Prakhar Khanna<\/a> called it \u201cthe compact foldable I\u2019ve wanted all along.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Z Fold 8 packs sharp, vibrant, and bright screens into a pocketable, practical design. The folding display is less reflective, and the crease is less noticeable, thanks to its updated Flex Titanium hinge. It\u2019s perfect for power users with its Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor and large 4,800mAh battery, which we found to be very reliable. You can expect all-day battery life as you stream your heart out, catch up on work, or scroll through your socials.<\/p>\n

Review: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8<\/a><\/p>\n

You can choose from 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options. Best Buy currently has the Graphite, Lavender, and Cream colors on sale. As for cameras, you\u2019ll get a 50-megapixel wide and a 50-megapixel ultrawide on the rear, with a 10-megapixel front camera. There\u2019s no telephoto camera, but you\u2019ll still be able to capture impressive shots.<\/p>\n

Senior Contributing Editor Kerry Wan<\/a> gave the Z Fold 8 a 4.3 out of 5 rating and recommends it for \u201cmobile enthusiasts who want an entertainment-first device, whether they\u2019re consuming content with the outer display tilted or with the inner display at full brightness (3,000-nit peak).\u201d<\/p>\n

If that sounds like you, now\u2019s the time to secure your new favorite foldable at $300 off. You\u2019ll also get a free month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate with your purchase.<\/p>\n
