$300 off at Best Buy brings Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra to $1,799.99 for the 256GB model, the lowest price the phone has seen since its launch last month. Standard list is $2,099.99; subtract the markdown and the math reconciles. For buyers who missed Samsung's launch promotions, this is the next entry point.
The Verge reviewed the Z Fold 8 Ultra at release and identified price as the primary thing holding it back from a full recommendation. The review praised the rear triple-camera array and battery endurance. The slim, refined form factor also drew positive marks. At $1,799.99, the value equation shifts.

Generation-over-generation specs
The Z Fold 8 Ultra ships with a 5,000mAh battery, up from the Z Fold 7's 4,400mAh, and rates for a full day of use on a single charge. Charging speed is faster than its predecessor. The interior and exterior displays are brighter; cameras produce sharper output.
The hinge is redesigned for longevity. It did not, however, survive JerryRigEverything's durability stress test. Water and dust resistance is rated IP48, a step below what competing foldables carry. Google's Pixel 10 Pro Fold, cited by The Verge for direct comparison, holds a higher rating.
