For a limited time, you can score a $350 gift card with purchase, that can be used on anything you want at a later date. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 is the stand-out Any time you have any new device, it is going to be the stand-out from a packed lineup. If you didn't get a chance to watch the event, Samsung introduced the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Z Fold 8 Ultra, and Z Flip 8 during its Galaxy Unpacked event. The Z Fold 8 Ultra is the successor to the Z Fold 7, but the Z Fold 8 is a wider device that offers users a new kind of experience. We won't know how well this feels in the hand for day-to-day use, but our initial impressions were pretty solid. Now, it's a foldable phone, so as you can imagine, the price is kind of up there, starting at $1,900. You can get it cheaper by signing up with wireless carriers, but we like to stay away from contracts that like to lock you in for up to 3 years. With that said, Amazon is now offering a $350 gift card with the purchase of the Z Fold 8. There is no trade-in required, and you don't have to apply for anything extra. You just preorder the device today, and it will ship out to you on August 7 with a $350 gift card. You can use this gift card to purchase anything from Amazon. It doesn't have to be related to the phone. So, it can be school supplies, food, books, movies, and anything else offered on the platform. This is the best deal that we've seen so far.
