Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 Launches at $1,199.99 as Carriers Offer Up to $1,000 Off

$1,199.99 is the new starting price for Samsung’s 256GB Galaxy Z Flip 8, marking a $100 increase from the Z Flip 7.
Trade-in promotions are cushioning that jump: AT&T and Xfinity Mobile offer up to $1,000 off, while T-Mobile advertises the phone for $100 with an eligible unlimited plan and trade-in.
Retailers are leaning on simpler incentives instead of deep preorder-style cuts, with Amazon and Best Buy each bundling a free $200 gift card and Samsung offering up to $400 off with trade-in or $100 off without one.
The higher price comes as Samsung points to broader memory-cost pressure, while the hardware upgrade over last year is relatively modest—same 12GB RAM and 4,300mAh battery, but a newer Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip and slightly lighter build.
