Where can you preorder the new Galaxy foldables?

According to Mashable’s preorder guide, all three models are up for preorder as of July 22 and go on sale August 7. Samsung.com lists each phone at the official starting price, while Amazon, T-Mobile, and AT&T stack promotions on top of those tags.

Galaxy Z Flip 8 listings cited by Mashable include $1,199.99 at Samsung, Amazon (with a $200 Amazon gift card), and T-Mobile (save up to $1,100 when you add a new line). Galaxy Z Fold 8 sits at $1,899.99 at Samsung and Amazon (with a $350 Amazon gift card), while T-Mobile and AT&T advertise $0 pricing with an eligible trade-in.

Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra starts at $2,099.99 at Samsung and Amazon (also with a $350 Amazon gift card). T-Mobile again promotes savings of up to $1,100 when you add a new line. Compare unlock versus carrier terms before you lock in a color or storage tier.

What do the Galaxy Z Flip 8, Fold 8, and Fold 8 Ultra cost?

Mashable’s pricing breakdown puts the Galaxy Z Flip 8 at a $1,199 start in pink, graphite, cream, and mint (mint online only). The Galaxy Z Fold 8 begins at $1,899.99 in lavender, graphite, cream, and pistachio (pistachio online only). The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra opens at $2,099.99 in violet shadow, graphite, cream, and green shadow (green shadow online only).

Both the Z Flip 8 and Z Fold 8 Ultra are $100 higher than last year’s models, Mashable reports, tying the bump to the global memory crisis. That context matters if you still own a Flip 7 or Fold 7 and are weighing whether the jump is worth it this cycle.

A separate Mashable deal report focuses on Amazon’s Flip 8 preorder: order the 256GB Graphite model for $1,199.99 by August 6 and receive a free $200 Amazon gift card. The phone’s official release date in that write-up is August 7, so the gift card window ends the day before launch.

How does the Z Flip 8 compare with earlier flip phones?

The Galaxy Z Flip 8 is the successor to the Z Flip 7. Mashable describes a pocket-sized square that flips open to a Dynamic AMOLED main display—listed at 6.9 inches in the preorder guide—with a crease that becomes hard to notice when the phone is open.

The same outlet’s deal coverage lists a 6.7-inch main screen and a 4.1-inch FlexWindow cover display for notifications and messages without unfolding. Cameras include a dual-lens rear setup with up to 10x zoom and 4K video at 60 fps in the guide, while the deal story specifies a 50MP wide, 12MP ultrawide, and 10MP front camera, plus hands-free half-open shooting and Super Steady video.

Storage and memory options include 12GB of RAM with 256GB or 512GB of storage. Samsung is positioning the Flip 8 as the world’s lightest and thinnest flip phone, per Mashable’s deal article—another then-and-now marker for clamshell fans who remember bulkier early foldables.

What should Fold buyers know about the Z Fold 8 and Fold 8 Ultra?

The Galaxy Z Fold 8 sits between the Flip 8 and Fold 8 Ultra. Mashable says it uses a 4:3 fullscreen ratio, with a 5.5-inch folded screen and a 7.6-inch open display. It has a dual-lens camera that can film in up to 8K at 30 fps, with configurations of 12GB RAM plus 256GB or 512GB storage, or 16GB RAM with 1TB storage.

If you previously used the Z Fold 7, Mashable identifies the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra as its successor. It is the largest foldable in the new trio, with a 6.5-inch cover screen and an 8-inch inner screen. It is also the only new foldable with a three-lens camera, supporting up to 8K capture with 3x optical and 30x Space Zoom.

Apple still has not shipped a foldable iPhone, Mashable notes, while Samsung already has a book-style Fold 8 aimed at that emerging rivalry. For shoppers comparing eras of foldable hardware, that gap is part of why Unpacked 2026’s announcements landed with so much preorder urgency.

Which preorder offer is the smartest pick right now?

There is no single best deal for every buyer. Unlocked shoppers who want a Flip 8 can grab Amazon’s $200 gift card on a $1,199.99 preorder placed by August 6. Fold 8 and Fold 8 Ultra buyers shopping Amazon can claim $350 gift cards at the $1,899.99 and $2,099.99 price points, respectively.

Carrier shoppers should check T-Mobile’s new-line savings of up to $1,100 on the Flip 8 and Fold 8 Ultra, plus the $0 Fold 8 promotions at T-Mobile and AT&T that require an eligible trade-in. Always confirm trade-in eligibility, financing, and whether the gift card posts after the device ships.

Preorders are already open, and launch day is August 7. If you want a specific online-only color—mint Flip 8, pistachio Fold 8, or green shadow Fold 8 Ultra—order sooner rather than later while retailer inventory and bonuses still match the offers Mashable documented.
