As we transition into week two of the Samsung Galaxy Z pre-orders, exciting new incentives await those looking to upgrade to the latest foldable technology. Last week, customers enjoyed a complimentary storage upgrade, and that offer still stands. Additionally, when you pre-order the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7, you'll receive a generous $300 Amazon Gift Card.
The Galaxy Z Fold7 is touted as the thinnest horizontal foldable available in the US market. It boasts impressive display sizes with a 6.5-inch cover screen and an expansive 8.0-inch main screen. Photography enthusiasts will appreciate the advanced 200MP main camera, complemented by a 10MP telephoto lens (3x/67mm) and a 12MP ultra-wide lens. The device also supports DeX capabilities, making it perfect for productivity on the go.
Powering this powerhouse is the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, available in a 12GB RAM and 512GB storage configuration, all for the price of a standard 256GB unit. However, it's worth noting the less impressive aspects, such as the 4,400mAh battery capacity, which supports 25W wired and 15W wireless charging, as well as the absence of S Pen support.
In addition to the Fold7, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 is also available for pre-order with a $200 Amazon Gift Card. Remarkably, Samsung has maintained the same pricing structure as last year's model, which you can explore in our detailed Galaxy Z pricing breakdown. The Flip7 features larger displays than its predecessor, with a 4.1-inch cover screen and a 6.9-inch main display, while also being thinner and housing a larger battery of 4,300mAh, compared to the Fold7.
Despite these enhancements, camera upgrades are limited. The Flip7 primarily offers HDR video support, similar to the Fold7. Samsung responded to the demand for more affordable foldable options by introducing the Galaxy Z Flip7 FE. This model features last year's Exynos 2400 chipset, a base configuration of 8GB RAM and 128GB storage, and comes with a complimentary upgrade to the 8GB RAM and 256GB storage variant during the pre-order period. Additionally, it offers a $100 Amazon Gift Card.
While the Z Flip7 FE is thicker and slower than the Z Flip7, it retains the same camera capabilities, making it an attractive option for those seeking a budget-friendly foldable. However, the smaller 3.4-inch cover screen and 6.7-inch inner display may feel limiting, and the 4,000mAh battery is less powerful than that of the Z Flip7.
The Nothing Phone (3) has received mixed reviews, but a free storage upgrade may entice potential buyers. This high-end smartphone features a 6.67-inch 1260p+ OLED display, a robust 5,150mAh battery with 65W wired and 15W wireless charging, and a quad-camera system comprising four 50MP sensors, including a 3x periscope and an ultra-wide camera.
In contrast, the OnePlus 13 has recently seen a price drop, now available at $830 for the 16GB RAM and 512GB storage model. This smartphone features a superior 6.82-inch 1440p+ LTPO display and is powered by the flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, alongside a larger 6,000mAh battery with 80W wired and 50W wireless charging. Its rear camera setup includes three 50MP sensors, with the main sensor featuring a larger 1/1.43” size compared to the Nothing's telephoto camera.
For those seeking a more budget-friendly option, the OnePlus 13R is available for $300 less, featuring a slightly smaller LTPO display and a slightly faster Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. Although its camera performance is not as strong, it still offers a competitive alternative to the Nothing flagship at a significantly lower price point.
The new Samsung Galaxy Watch8 series is currently in limited supply. However, customers can still purchase the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 (40mm, Bluetooth) with a $50 Amazon Gift Card. For those who prefer a rotating bezel, the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic (46mm, 4G) is also available. Both watches feature a new squircle design and a uniform screen size of 1.34 inches, despite their differing body sizes.
For a more budget-conscious option, the Samsung Galaxy Watch7 is available for less than half the price of the Watch8. It maintains a round body and uses the same Exynos W1000 chipset found in the Watch8 models, with a slightly smaller battery of 300mAh compared to the Watch8's 325mAh.
