It's a serious first attempt, but we think Samsung's doing it a little better. Plus, you can find the Z Fold 8 at a discount from retailers, with Amazon knocking $250 off right now, and Google Fi offering $550 off. It's for a specific customer, though The $550 discount is only available for existing Google Fi customers. If you order the Z Fold 8, Google gives you $550 off, but you need to activate the phone with your existing Google Fi line. You will also need to keep that line of service active on the phone for 120 days. Any pauses, cancellations, or terminations of service will result in Google charging you $550. After the 120 days, you're free to do whatever you want. You can stop service or keep it going; the discount is yours. We recommend checking the promotion details if you're interested. You don't want to miss out on an important detail before you commit to the 120-day requirement. Most importantly, this deal ends on October 6, 2026. So you still have plenty of time to decide. Overall, the Z Fold 8 is an exciting phone. The fresh design makes it an instant hit, and Samsung has been making foldables for some time, so it knows what it's doing. There are some compromises, like cameras that aren't the best, but we think most people can live with them. We enjoyed our time with the phone and gave it a solid 9/10.
