Always wanted a folding phone? Thanks to Samsung, you now have more choice than ever. Earlier this month, the company launched three new foldables at once, including a shorter, squatter and wider Galaxy Z Fold 8. The latest addition to Samsung’s foldable family is widely tipped to look like Apple’s first foldable iPhone.
Already proving a hit for the tech giant, Samsung told The Independent that the new phones set a record in Europe, with foldable pre-orders ahead of launch up more than 17 per cent on its previous record. The new shorter passport-style Galaxy Z Fold 8 accounted for 40 per cent of all orders.
Below, I’ve rounded up all the best Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 deals in the UK, from trade-in deals to the best offers from the major mobile phone carriers.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 price
Samsung’s foldable line-up now includes a more affordable Galaxy Z Fold 8 alongside the premium Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. That means there are two book-style foldables to choose from, as well as the Galaxy Z Flip 8.
The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra starts at £1,899, making it £200 more expensive than last year's Galaxy Z Fold 7. The new passport-style Galaxy Z Fold 8 starts at £1,699, making it £100 cheaper than the previous Fold 7. The biggest compromise comes in the camera department, with the Fold 8 featuring a less advanced camera system compared to the Ultra.
The Galaxy Z Flip 8 has also received a price increase. It now starts at £1,149 for the 256GB model, which is £100 more than last year's Galaxy Z Flip 7.
The Galaxy Z Fold 8 comes in lavender, graphite and cream, with pistachio available exclusively through Samsung. It is available with 256GB, 512GB and 1TB of storage. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra comes in violet shadow, graphite and cream, with green shadow exclusive to Samsung. It is also available with 256GB, 512GB and 1TB of storage.
