Preorders for the phone have been outstanding, and the reviews are pretty solid for the most part. We enjoyed our time with it, praising the overall design. It's something new, which a lot of people are going to be attracted to. If you've been thinking about picking one up and don't want to go with a carrier deal, we recommend buying it from Amazon. The retailer has the best promotion on the device, offering a $350 gift card. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Free $350 gift card SoC Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Display Cover Display: 120Hz Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X, 120Hz, Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 3, 5.5 inches, 1248 x 1972 pixels Foldable display: 120Hz 7.6-inches 1848 x 2448 pixels RAM 12GB / 16GB Storage 256GB / 512GB / 1TB Rear camera f/1.8 50-megapixel wide, f/1.9 50-megapixel ultrawide Front camera f/2.2 10-megapixel wide, f/2.2 10-megapixel wide Battery Si/C Li-Ion 4,800 mAh Dimensions Unfolded: 161.4 x 123.9 x 4.5mm, Folded: 81.9 x 123.9 x 9.7mm Weight 7.09oz (201g) IP Rating IP48 dust and water resistant This is the deal to go with Best Buy, Samsung, and other retailers just aren't matching this promotion right now. You purchase the phone from Amazon, and the retailer will send you a $350 gift card that you can use at a later date. Amazon has a huge assortment of products, which means the gift card should come in pretty handy. You can also finance the phone if you have an Amazon credit card, with monthly payments that will get broken down over 12 months. The retailer will even take in trade-ins, offering an additional $200 on top of whatever trade-in value it quotes you. Amazon is going all out so that it becomes your retailer of choice. You can get better pricing from wireless carriers. However, you will need to commit to a contract, and the carriers won't offer an instant discount. Instead, it will issue monthly credits that could take up to 36 months to be completed. If you don't mind, then go with a wireless carrier like T-Mobile, AT&T, or Verizon. If that's what you're looking for, grab this deal from Amazon while you still can. We've already seen some elements of the deal change since the preorder phase, so there's no telling when the retailer will cut things off. One thing to note, though, is that Amazon is temporarily sold out of the phone. So while it is taking orders, it doesn't have an exact ship date yet. Amazon states that customers ordering the phone will get an email at a later date.
