Summary
$600 is the top preorder discount Samsung is offering on the Galaxy Z Flip 8 with an eligible trade-in, while buyers without a trade-in can get a $150 Samsung credit.
The offer helps offset the flip phone's $1,199 starting price, which is $100 higher than the Galaxy Z Flip 7 ahead of the August 7 release.
Samsung positions the Z Flip 8 as an iterative upgrade: it keeps the foldable format but adds a 6.9-inch 120Hz inner display, 4.1-inch 120Hz outer screen, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, 12GB RAM and 256GB storage.
Reviewers called it Samsung's sleekest and most refined flip phone yet, but not a necessary upgrade for Z Flip 7 owners—leaving the preorder deal as a bigger draw for first-time foldable buyers.
