But if you\u2019ll entertain a great deal, there are big discounts happening for both the passport-style Z Fold 8 and the slimmer, taller Z Fold 8 Ultra during <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/gadgets\/996983\/best-october-prime-day-deal-sale-tech\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">October Prime Day<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">Originally $1,899.99, the Z Fold 8 with 256GB of storage is $1,549.99 at Amazon, or $100 more at Best Buy. This beats the previous best sale price by $100. The Z Fold 8 Ultra, which has better cameras, now starts at $1,699.99 (originally $2,099.99). It\u2019s $150 lower than the previous best price before Prime Day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">The Z Fold 8 isn\u2019t the first passport-style foldable, but it\u2019s the most polished so far. Our reviewer Dominic Preston found its small size to be unexpectedly comfortable, and its 4:3 aspect ratio inner screen is great for reading and watching content. The Z Fold 8 Ultra is an iterative upgrade over the Z Fold 7. It has better, well, everything, from its displays and cameras to its chipset and almost-invisible crease. It\u2019s definitely the specs powerhouse of the two foldables.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I don\u2019t suppose there are many iPhone users who might be tempted by the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":873052,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[167,6563,166,165,169,172,74,148099],"class_list":["post-873051","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-deals","tag-foldable-phones","tag-gadgets","tag-mobile","tag-prime-day","tag-tech","tag-technology","tag-verge-shopping"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/873051","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=873051"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/873051\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/873052"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=873051"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=873051"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=873051"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
