What the report says

GSMArena reported on July 25, 2026, that Samsung’s newly announced Galaxy Z Fold8, Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra and Galaxy Z Flip8 are now available for pre-order in the United States, with general sales scheduled to begin on August 7. The report describes the Z Fold8 as Samsung’s first “wide” foldable for the U.S. market, while the Z Fold8 Ultra is presented as the follow-up to the Z Fold7. Samsung is also taking pre-orders for two smartwatches, the Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and Galaxy Watch9.

According to the deals roundup, Samsung US is no longer offering free storage upgrades, but is applying discounts of $200 on the Fold8 models and $150 on the Flip8, plus an additional $100 off the Folds when using PayPal with a promo code. Trade-in credits are listed at up to $1,200 for the Fold models and up to $600 for the Flip. Base prices cited by GSMArena are $1,900 for the Galaxy Z Fold8, $2,100 for the Z Fold8 Ultra and $1,200 for the Z Flip8.

Amazon’s pre-order offers are structured around gift cards rather than direct discounts, with $350 cards for the Fold8 and Fold8 Ultra and $200 for the Flip8, alongside trade-in credits and bonuses. The smartwatch listings include the Galaxy Watch Ultra2 at $700 with LTE and the Galaxy Watch9 starting at $380 for the Bluetooth 40mm model.

GSMArena also compared the new Samsung devices with foldable and smartwatch alternatives from Google, Motorola and Apple, including the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, several Razr models, the Pixel Watch 4 and Apple Watch Ultra 3. The roundup matters for buyers weighing launch pricing, trade-in values and ecosystem choices before Samsung’s August 7 retail release.
