The best Galaxy Z Fold 7 deal drops its price to $799 — but it ends soon
But I have some good news to share. Samsung's foldable is slated to release on July 25 and right now you can get the Galaxy Z Fold 7 for just $799 at Samsung via trade-in. Even better, you'll get a free storage upgrade. (For more ways to save, check out our guide to today's best Galaxy Z Fold 7 pre-order deals and the best Samsung promo codes).
Galaxy Z Fold 7: from $799 w/ trade-in @ SamsungSamsung is knocking up to $1,150 off Galaxy Z Fold 7 preorders when you trade-in an older phone. Additionally, you'll get a free storage upgrade with your preorder. The phone features an 8-inch AMOLED (2184 x 1968) 120Hz main display, 6.5-inch AMOLED (2520 x 1080) 120Hz cover display, Snapdragon 8 Elite CPU, 12GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. On the rear you get a 200MP f/1.7 main wide-angle lens, 12MP f/2.2 ultra-wide lens, and 10MP f/2.4 telephoto lens. Selfie cams include a 10MP f/2.2 main display and cover camera. In our Galaxy Z Fold 7 review, we called it the first foldable we'd want to carry and use all day.
This deal does have some requirements. First, you must trade in your old phone and in return Samsung will offer up to $1,000 in trade-in credit. You'll also get a $120 upgrade credit and a $50 limited time credit. In total, you could pay as little as $799 for this epic phone.
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is $100 pricier than its predecessor. However, there are a lot of welcome improvements. For instance, its thinner than the Z Fold 6 and it also sports bigger displays in the form of an 8-inch main display and 6.5-inch inner display. There's also a better 200MP main camera.
Despite its thinner design, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is made to be tougher than its predecessor. It features a new Armor FlexHinge with a "water droplet design" and "multi-rail structure" for increased durability. It also uses a grade 4 titanium lattice and 50% thicker ultra thin glass for the main display.
Powering this beast is a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, which is the same silicon Samsung uses in its Galaxy S25 phones. Similarly, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 offers all of the same Galaxy AI features as the Galaxy S25 series.
In our Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 review, we said it feels like the holy grail of foldables with a terrific design, excellent displays, and great overall performance.

I put the Galaxy Z Flip 7 vs Galaxy Z Flip 6 through a 7-round face-off — here's the winner
Now that I've had plenty of time putting them to the test, I have a good idea of how this Galaxy Z Flip 7 vs Galaxy Z Flip 6 face-off will turn out. In my Galaxy Z Flip 7 review, I was delighted by the bigger upgrades that Samsung gave its latest flip-style phone. In fact, I'm so impressed by it that it has replaced the Motorola Razr Ultra (2025) as the best foldable phone you can buy right now. Just with any other year-over-year update, I still want to show how much of an improvement the Z Flip 7 makes over the Z Flip 6. One of the biggest areas I was concerned about was its performance and battery life, as Samsung opted to go with its own, in-house Exynos 2500 chipset instead of Qualcomm's. I'll definitely cover that and many other things in my 7-round Galaxy Z Flip 7 vs Galaxy Z Flip 6 comparison. Here's how the latest Samsung flip-style phone compares to last year's model. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 Main Display 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X (2520 x 1080_ 6.7-inch FHD+ AMOLED (2640 x 1080) Cover Display 4.1-inch Super AMOLED (948 x 1048) 3.4-inch AMOLED (720 x 748) Chipset Exynos 2500 Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 RAM 12GB 12GB Storage 256GB, 512GB 256GB, 512GB Cameras 50MP main, 12MP ultrawide, 10MP selfie 50MP main, 12MP ultrawide, 10MP selfie Battery size 4,300 mAh 4,000 mAh Size 2.96 x 3.37 x 0.54-inches (closed), 2.96 x 6.56 x 0.26-inches (open) 3.35 x 2.83 x 0.58 inches (closed), 6.5 x 2.83 x 0.27 inches (open) Weight 6.63 ounces 6.59 ounces I'm happy to report that there isn't a price hike with the Galaxy Z Flip 7, making it the same $1,099 starting cost just like the Galaxy Z Flip 6 last year. Given the hardware upgrades, paired with some incredible Galaxy Z Flip 7 deals going on right now, I would give this one to the Z Flip 7. From what I've seen so far, most carriers and retailers haven't slashed the price of the Galaxy Z Flip 6 in a substantial way to clear out stock. Depending on where you look, you might actually snag one for free — but that usually requires you to commit to a specific cell phone plan, just like what T-Mobile's offered last year. In fact, that's the same offer the carrier has right now for the Z Flip 7. Winner: Galaxy Z Flip 7 Although the overall design language doesn't differ between the two, there are a few noteworthy achievements that make the design of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 better. First of all, there's not a substantial change to its size and weight — given how it features a larger battery and bigger screens. They both feature similar armor aluminum frames that make them incredibly durable, but the Z Flip 7 benefits from a new Armor Flex Hinge that makes it smoother to open and close. There's still a crease with the new hinge, but it doesn't appear to be as deep as the Z Flip 6. I will say, though, that I like the color options available to the Z Flip 6. You have a total of seven to choose from, versus the four with the Z Flip 7. However, I do anticipate Samsung coming out with more colors in the coming months. Winner: Galaxy Z Flip 7 Starting off with their main displays, the Z Flip 7 gets the nods for its larger 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x display. In addition to that, it's also brighter according to our display benchmark test — where it reached a peak brightness of 1,989 nits. That's a smidge brighter than the 1,835 nits recorded from the Z Flip 6's 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x display. Even though the Z Flip 6 has a higher resolution, I can hardly notice this miniscule difference. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 Motorola Razr Ultra 2025 Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 Screen size 6.9-inches 7 inches 6.7 inches Brightness (nits) 1,989 1,835 1,942 sRGB % 151.7 (Vivid) / 126.7 (Natural) 214.3 (Vivid) / 123.2 (Natural) 135.8 (Vivid) / 119.9 (Natural) DCI-P3 % 107.4 (Vivid) / 89.8 (Natural) 151.8 (Vivid) / 123.2 (Natural) 96.2 (Vivid) / 84.9 (Natural) Delta-E score (closer to zero is better) 0.23 (Vivid) / 0.23 (Natural) 0.33 (Vivid) / 0.26 (Natural) 0.24 (Vivid) / 0.24 (Natural) What I think is more impressive though is how Samsung upgraded the Z Flip 7 with a larger 4.1-inch cover display. It's noticeably larger than the 3.4-inch one with the Z Flip 6, and as a result, it makes using apps and capturing content with the cameras much more satisfying. I can't tell you how much the extra room makes, especially when it comes to running full apps — or typing with the keyboard. All of it is much easier with the larger cover screen of the Z Flip 7. Winner: Galaxy Z Flip 7 When Samsung showed off the Z Flip 7 during its Galaxy Unpacked event, I was a little surprised by the camera specs. On paper, it doesn't appear like any changes were made to its camera because it has the same 50MP main, 12MP ultrawide, and 10MP selfie cameras as the Galaxy Z Flip 6 — including the same aperture values. However, Samsung did spend time explaining how its updated ProVisual Engine enhances the results. I've already detailed their differences in my Galaxy Z Flip 7 vs Galaxy Z Flip 6 photo shoot-out, which ultimately gave the performance to the Z Flip 7. I'll explain some of the biggest differences I noticed below. There are still new features and upgrades that make the Z Flip 7 the better camera phone. For starters, I can't stress enough the advantage of having a larger cover screen here because it makes selfies and vlogs easier to capture. Over on the video side, the Z Flip 7 also gains the same LOG video recording mode that debuted with the Galaxy S25 Ultra. As someone that edits video a lot, this flat picture profile gives me more flexibility in the editing room to tweak the colors to my liking. Despite having the same camera as the Z Flip 6, I can tell that the ProVisual Engine is working its magic ever so slightly with the Z Flip 7's shot above of the parking lot. That's because it's boosting the exposure of the trees in the background, which reveals details that are hidden there in the Z Flip 6. I thought their 10MP selfie cameras would produce the same results, but there's one key difference that gives a boost to the older Flip 6. Due to how the built-in screen protector of the Z Flip 7 goes over the selfie camera, it results in a slightly softer look. In contrast, the screen protector doesn't go over the selfie camera on the Z Flip 6 — so it retains a sharper look overall. Again, the updated ProVisual Engine of the Z Flip 7 is working its magic in the portrait shots I captured of myself above. You might think the results are identical, but there are clues in the details that make the Z Flip 7's shot look more realistic. If you take a look at the strap on my shoulder, you'll notice that some parts of it blurred out — whereas the Z Flip 6 keeps it all in focus. The reason why the Z Flip 7 does this is because it replicates the behavior of an actual camera whose focus is squared on the face. It's exactly the look I'd get from using my mirrorless camera. Zooming is done through their respective main cameras, as they lack the dedicated telephoto shooters that other phones offer. The difference boils down to the enhancements made by the ProVisual Engine of the Z Flip 7, which gives more definition to the sign in the middle of the shot and the chain link fence in the background. Low light is where the updated ProVisual Engine really flexes its muscles. While both shots are bright given that they were shot in near pitch dark conditions, the Z Flip 7 benefits from capturing more definition all around the tree. When I zoom to it, I can make out the finer details of the tree's bark and its textures. They look softer and muddy with the Z Flip 6. Winner: Galaxy Z Flip 7 Out of all the categories I'm judging, this is the one I'm most interested in because of Samsung's decision to ditch Qualcomm for the Z Flip 7. It's powered by an Exynos 2500 SoC and paired with 12GB of RAM, versus the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and 12GB of RAM in the Z Flip 6. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 Chipset Exynos 2500 Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Geekbench 6 (single/multicore) 2286 / 8079 2091 / 7022 3DMark Wild Life Unlimited (fps) 114.64 113.4 Adobe Premiere Rush video transcode (Miins:Secs) 1:04 0:46 While I don't see a huge difference in how they perform with my day-to-day tasks, like checking emails, surfing the web, gaming, and checking out my social feeds, their benchmark performance scores show something different. The Exynos 2500 barely beats out the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in GeekBench 6, but their graphics processing performances are almost identical. In a strange turn of events, the Z Flip 7 renders video slower with the Adobe Premiere Rush test. Really, I was hoping for a wider gap — but this isn't the Snapdragon 8 Elite. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 gets a technical win here, but it really exposes how there's not a huge improvement. Winner: Galaxy Z Flip 7 There's a relationship between a phone's chipset and its battery life, so given the minor performance boost of the Z Flip 7, I wasn't expecting much in terms of its battery life. Thankfully I'm proven wrong because it seems as though Samsung invested more on making the Exynos 2500 power efficient, which could also be aided by the optimizations of One UI 8. Average Battery life (Hrs:Mins) Charging % in 15 minutes Charging % in 30 minutes Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 12:24 29% 55% Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 11:01 27% 55% Regardless, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 cruised to the finish line with its time of 12 hours and 24 minutes on our battery drain test. The Galaxy Z Flip 6 ran the same exact test, but falls a bit behind with its 11 hours and 1 minute clocked time. But to be fair, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 has a larger 4,300 mAh battery — whereas the Z Flip 6 has a smaller 4,000 mAh. Over on the recharge side, the Z Flip 7 gets the same 25W wired and 15W wireless speeds as the Z Flip 6. Yet, it charges a smidge faster after 15 and 30 minutes in our testing. Winner: Galaxy Z Flip 7 On the surface, their interfaces may not look or feel all that different, but there are features that give the Z Flip 7 the more compelling software package. For starters, it benefits from having the latest One UI 8 software on top of Android 16. Visually it's not a huge departure, but new additions like the Now Bar and Now Brief are helpful. There's also the cross actions apps feature with the Z Flip 7, which makes it even more intuitive to perform complex actions all through voice commands. While it's only a matter of time before the Z Flip 6 gets the new One UI 8 software, which should bring the Now Bar and Now Brief, I'm not confident it'll get cross app actions. When it comes to AI features, the Z Flip 7 introduces a few new things. The most notable, of course, is the multimodal AI experience with Gemini Live. This allows me to tap into the Z Flip 7's cameras to allow Gemini see what I see, then ask it questions or make commands. I've actually used it to help me with a problem with my electrical breaker, which I know I couldn't do on my own. Secondly, there's the Audio Eraser feature that lets me remove unwanted noise in my videos. It's a handy tool that lets me tweak the audio on the device, rather than using software on my computer. And finally, Samsung finally brings DeX support to the series for the first time with the Galaxy Z Flip 7 — and I couldn't be happier about this. That's because Samsung DeX means I can now connect the Z Flip 7 to a monitor and essentially have access to a desktop PC-like interface. In some ways, it can replace my laptop because of how well it multitasks apps. I'm not surprised by how this Galaxy Z Flip 7 vs Galaxy Z Flip 6 face-off turned out. The new Galaxy Z Flip 7 wins every category, with a few where there's a substantial improvement. Not only do I love the larger and brighter displays of the Z Flip 7, but I think its updated software also helps out. Both Samsung DeX support and multimodal AI Gemini Live are two big features you're not going to get with the Z Flip 6, which also helps when its price remains unchanged.

Don't miss the chance to get the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro at an all-time low price!
Ryan Haines / Android Authority The Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are the brand's best wireless earbuds and the best option for Samsung users. They are usually pretty expensive at $249.99, but right now, you can take them home for just $109.99! It's the lowest price we've seen them go for, so you might want to get yours before the offer is gone. Buy the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro for just $109.99 ($140 off) This offer is available from Woot, an Amazon-owned deals website. The deal is available in both colors: Silver and White. The only caveat is that this is the international version, so while they will work exactly the same, they don't come with a full manufacturer's warranty. Instead, you get Woot's 90-day warranty. Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro Situational awareness, and utility lights Compared to the nearly identical Buds3, the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro offer better sound quality, thanks to 2-way speakers, and enhanced situational awareness, thanks to advanced Ambient sound offerings. Audio is delivered through a 10.5mm DD speaker, and a 6.1mm Planar speaker. Bluetooth 5.4 offers solid connectivity and features such as Siren Detect can automatically switch ANC and Ambient Noise levels on the fly. The new Interpreter mode works with your phone to offer translations. See price at Woot! Save $140.00 We actually reported on this deal last week, which is why we thought we would post a reminder today. Woot mentions the deal is active for 10 days or 'until sold out.' This is a really hot deal, and we can only assume these popular earbuds are flying off the shelves. The Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are outstanding earbuds. While the retail price is a bit high, at $109.99, they are quite a steal. These are high-end earbuds through and through. They offer great sound quality and premium ANC performance. Our experts at put them through all their objective tests, and the stats prove these can block out 76% of all external noise. The rest of the experience will be just as impressive. The battery life is 4.5 hours, and that's without counting the extra juice in the charging case. Thanks to the IP57 rating, these also offer peace of mind. You won't have to worry about swat, rain, or dust damaging them. It also helps that these happen to look pretty nice and unique. Ryan Haines / Android Authority So, why are these a better choice for Samsung device users? Well, some of the features are exclusive to Samsung devices. These include auto device switching between Galaxy products, live translation, and AI enhancements like sound detection. The latter can identify important noises like emergency vehicle sirens and disable ANC when it believes your surroundings require attention. That said, these features seem more like extras than necessities. They will work perfectly as earbuds with non-Samsung phones, and you can still use features like gesture support, 360-degree audio, Find My support, and more. Oh, and gesture support includes touch, swipe, and pressing, giving you ample options to control your audio. Again, this is a record-low price, and it's very hard to beat this offer. You can take a look at the list of the best wireless earbuds for more options if you prefer to look at some alternatives. That said, we can tell you right now you won't find any earbuds of this caliber at such a low price. Go get yours before they are gone!
