Galaxy Z Fold 8 pre-order deals, $100 off + FREE buds, $515 off Tabs, $300 off Watch Ultra 2, more

Pre-order deals on the new Galaxy Z Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra, and Flip 8 continue this weekend alongside the next-gen  Galaxy Watch 9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 at up to $300 off with your order. There are only five days remaining so left to take advantage of the deals before release date and, if this launch is anything like the last major Galaxy drop, the deals won’t be as good in the coming days. 

Best Galaxy Z Fold 8 pre-order deals

If you’re looking to trade a device in for your new Z Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra, and Flip 8, these are the best two options (as detailed previously):

  • Samsung is offering up to $1,230 in instant discounts against your pre-order
  • Amazon is offering up to $600 back in Amazon credit on top of a $350gift card

Both solid options, but the best bet is to check both sites to get an exact value for the device you have to trade in (only the very newest devices will get up to that $1,200 in trade value at Samsung – Z Fold 7 and S26 series).

If you’re not trading in, you can still use code PAYPAL100 at checkout to knock $100 off the phone and leverage the up to $200 in instant Samsung store credit as well as the $30 bonus credit – this credit can yield serious deals on add-on gear ** when added to the same cart as the phone pre-order**:

Most affordable Galaxy Tab S11 $225 off at Amazon, or up to $325 off open-box

Amazon is now offering one of the best prices yet on the Galaxy Tab S11 since the official price hikes took hold at retail. You’ll now find the regularly $900 current-gen S series tablet starting down at $675 shipped there, and as low as $575 in open-box condition at Best Buy. 

Samsung’s official site is offering $200 off the S11 right now, but Amazon has a far better price at the moment.

You’ll now find the Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 sitting down at $674.99 shipped. That’s $225 off the list price, $25 under the deal price directly at Samsung, and the best we have tracked since the price increase, outside of the short-lived Prime Day discount. 

For an even lower price, you’ll find this same tablet in “excellent” open-box condition over at Best Buy for $100 less than that:

  • Open-box Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 128GB$575(Reg. $900 new)

Just keep in mind that if you’re still looking to secure the pre-order deals on the new Galaxy Z Fold 8 or Fold 8 Ultra, there are some serious discounts available when bundling the tablet with your order – scope out the details right here.

Unlocked Galaxy S26 Ultra models are up to $340 off at Amazon in brand new condition

There are less than a few days left to make advantage of the giant discount opportunities on the new Galaxy Z Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra, and Flip 8 – up to $1,230 off with an instant trade-in credit, $100 off with code PAYPAL100, FREE $200 Samsung credit, Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 bundle in at $300 off, and more. However, those looking towards the flagship S26 Ultra can land one at up to $340 off in brand new condition straight from Amazon today. 

The official Samsung site is offering straight up $250 price drops on the S26 Ultra right now, but you will also find those same deals on Amazon where select color configurations are even lower. Here are a few of the standouts:

  • Galaxy S26 Ultra 256GB from $977(Reg. $1,300)
  • Galaxy S26 Ultra 512GB Cobalt Violet $1,160(Reg. $1,500)

We have caught a few wild deals on select colors that sell out very quickly, sometimes in minutes, but as of right now there are several configurations well below the $1,049 starting deal price straight from Samsung.

Clearly the new Galaxy Z Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra, and Flip 8 are all the rage right now, with notable sales numbers rolling in on the new wider Fold 8. And if you are still considering locking in the next-gen foldable, you’ll want to consider doing so while the pre-order discounts are still flying if you don’t plan on waiting what could be several months for deeper discounts – shipping times are already starting to slip beyond delivery day this week for select models too:

  • Or FREE $200 Samsung credit
  • Or FREE $30 Reserve credit

Unlocked Google Pixel 10a now $75 off at Amazon, Best Buy open-box from $390 ($115 off)

Amazon has now dropped the unlocked Google Pixel 10a down to one of its lowest prices to date. The 2026 a-series device is Google’s most affordable current-generation handset and you can now score it at $75 off the list price (or even less in open-box condition). Details below.

Amazon is now offering the Google Pixel 10a down at $424 for the 128GB configuration while the 256GB model has dropped to $524 shipped. These deals are also matched Best Buy. 

  • Google Pixel 10a 128GB $424(Reg. $499)
  • Google Pixel 10a 256GB $524(Reg. $599)

Still up at full price via the official Google Store, you’re looking at a solid $75 off the list price for the second-lowest price we have ever tracked at Amazon. Both the 128GB model and 256GB dropped a touch lower during Prime Day this year to $399 and $499, respectively, but you’re otherwise looking at a match for the lowest we have tracked on Amazon – previous to Prime Day, the entry model had never fallen below $449.

Google’s more affordable 10a series phone released in spring 2026 and isn’t likely to see a next-generation update until around the same time in 2027.

If you’re looking to bring your spend down as low as possible, Best Buy’s “excellent” condition open-box units have also dropped in price alongside the new listings:

  • Obsidian Google Pixel 10a 128GB $390(Reg. $499)
  • Lavender Google Pixel 10a 128GB $385(Reg. $499)

Google’s regularly $180 wireless Nest Doorbell is down as low as $63 at Best Buy

While it might not be the newer wired model, we are tracking a chance at seriously deep savings on what is still the latest wireless Google Nest Wi-Fi Video Doorbell down at just $63– this model costs $180 straight from Google.

Best Buy is now offering the Google Nest Doorbell (Battery) down at $62.99 shipped in “excellent” open-box condition.

This model costs $180 on the Google Store and currently starts at $152 via Amazon. While we have seen it down as low as $113 at the latter, catching this thing in new condition anywhere near $63 is unheard of.

Again this isn’t the latest 3rd gen model, it does provide a much easier installation process that does not require any hardwiring action. There are certainly benefits to an always connected model, but that one is going to cost you significantly more and does require a little bit more effort than just sticking it up on the wall/door – “the Nest Doorbell is easy to install wired or wire-free; the built-in battery means it works with any door, or connect it to your existing doorbell wires with the included wire connector.”

While we are talking Google deals, we are also tracking some solid discounts on the most affordable current-generation Pixel phone you can buy – $75 off at Amazon in new condition and as much as $115 off Best Buy open-box units. Scope out all of the details right here. 

Lenovo’s 14-inch touchscreen Chromebook with MediaTek Kompanio 540 is back-to-school ready at $279 (Nearly 50% off)

Alongside its now-live August Back to School sale, and as part of its daily deals offer, Best Buy is offering Lenovo’s IdeaPad Slim 3 14-inch 2K touchscreen Chromebook for $279 shipped. This 2025 model typically sells for $529, so you can save $250, or nearly 50%, by cashing in on today’s offer. That makes it one of the better Chromebook deals we’re tracking from the ongoing Back to School sale events across retailers. We recently saw the relatively newer Chromebook m with 64GB of storage go for less, but this is the lowest price we’ve seen for this particular IdeaPad Slim 3 8GB/128GB configuration. Head below for more details.

Lenovo’s IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook stands as a great overall option for schoolwork, browsing, streaming, and other everyday tasks. The config highlighted here features a 14-inch WUXGA touchscreen, giving you a little more vertical room than a standard 1080p display while also making ChromeOS easier to navigate. It runs on MediaTek’s Kompanio 540 processor with integrated graphics, alongside 8GB of RAM for lighter multitasking and 128GB of UFS storage for apps and offline files. Lenovo also rates the battery for up to 18 hours, making it suitable for carrying between classes or working away from an outlet. Other noteworthy features of this laptop include a good selection of ports, including USB-C, USB-A, and HDMI connectivity.

Best Buy is also offering discounts on a wide range of Back to School essentials and dorm upgrades, all of which you’ll find highlighted right here. Lenovo’s 2.5K tablet bundle is also worth considering as a solid Back to School deal if you’re in the market to buy a new tablet for $150. It comes with a stylus and a folio case, and is down from its usual price of $218.
