It’s official: the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 has landed, and it doesn’t disappoint. One problem, however, is that the innovative foldable now boasts a starting price of $1,199.99 for the 256GB configuration, which is $100 more expensive than its predecessor.
Fortunately, I’m already hard at work tracking down the best Galaxy Z Flip 8 deals so you don’t have to go searching. The offers aren’t quite as good as the promotions we saw during the preorder period, but you can still score some impressive savings if you know where to look. Keep reading for my recommendations on buying the brand new flip phone, and don’t forget to check back later to see what’s new: I’ll keep adding new offers to this list as I find them.

FAQ
How much does the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 cost?
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 will start at $1,199.99 / €1,299.00 / £1,149.00 for the 256GB configuration of the phone. That’s $100 more expensive than last year’s Galaxy Z Flip 7, which was already more expensive than its predecessor. This price increase is even further proof that no one is exempt from the ongoing RAM crisis, which is why finding good deals is so important nowadays.
I already own the Galaxy Z Flip 7. Is it worth upgrading?
The Galaxy Z Flip 8 and last year’s Galaxy Z Flip 7 share a lot of similarities on the design and hardware side, especially at first glance. Both flip phones come with 12GB of RAM and a 4,300mAh battery, and they feature virtually identical camera systems and displays, although the Z Flip 8 does clock in at 8 grams lighter than its predecessor. The Z Flip 8 also uses the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, which is a bit more powerful than the last generation’s Exynos chip.
Do these minor upgrades justify the $100 price increase? It’s a tough call, but if you’re already happy with your Galaxy Z Flip 7, I see no reason to rush to the store to grab the new phone. On the other hand, if you’re a flip phone fanatic, the Z Flip 8 offers one of the best experiences around.
