The next generation of iPhones might be imminent, but those who prefer Android don’t have to wait if they’re on the hunt for a decent upgrade. Right now, the official Samsung<\/a> Store has some of the best deals of the entire year on the new Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy S26 series.<\/p>\n

With what I assume are limited-time-only Labor Day specials, the official Samsung Store is currently offering up to $800 off with a trade-in, or up to $300 off upfront across a range of devices.<\/p>\n

We’ve seen bigger trade-in rebates before, but the upfront discounts here are really, really great. For example, the $300 upfront discount on the brand-new Galaxy Z Fold 8<\/a> Ultra is $100 better than the one that was initially offered in the pre-order phase last month. The $300 discount on the Galaxy S26 Ultra<\/a> is equally compelling, matching the lowest upfront price I’ve ever seen on the device.<\/p>\n

Both of these deals are available on unlocked devices, meaning you can still get your discount without having to sign up for any long-term plans. They’re also available across a range of storage sizes, alongside a few other additional bundle options, should you want to get some additional cheap accessories like a smartwatch or a pair of earbuds.<\/p>\n
