The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 was announced to the world approximately five minutes ago, but Amazon has already seen fit to slash $120 off its MSRP in the US, and up to £350 off the same figure in the UK. You’ll have to wait until later this month to receive the phone, mind, but if you’ve not already been tempted by Samsung’s own Galaxy Z Fold 7 pre-order deals, Amazon’s offers are worth a look.

Admittedly, given the astronomical $1,999.99 / £1,799 starting price of the Galaxy Z Fold 7, it’s hard to get too excited about saving a handful of hundreds – but we’re quite literally talking about a state-of-the-art product here. Heck, it hasn’t even hit store shelves yet! For that reason alone, this is one of my favorite Prime Day deals of the week.

So, into the specifics. If you’re in the US, you can save $120 on the 512GB model exclusively (which equates to a free storage upgrade), but you’ll also get a $300 Amazon gift card for your troubles. The gift card applies to the 256GB variant, too, but there’s no price cut on that particular model, so there’s no reason to choose it over the Galaxy Z Fold 7 with 512GB of storage.

It’s a much simpler situation in the UK. The 256GB model is £1,699 (was £1,799), the 512GB model is also £1,699 (was £1,899), and the 1TB model – which isn’t available at Amazon in the US – is £1,799 (was £2,149). Again, then, there’s no reason to go for the smallest storage option, but there is a price difference between the two larger models.

My understanding of Amazon’s wording on this particular deal is that Prime Student members will get an additional £100 off, but those of us not lucky enough to look under 21 will have to make do with these regular savings.

Amazon Prime Day deal: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7

In terms of upgrades over its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is by far the slimmest and lightest Z Fold yet. It weighs just 215g (that’s even less than the single-screened Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra), and measures just 8.9mm thick when folded and 4.2mm thick when unfolded.

Under the hood, you’ll get a Samsung-tuned Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, 12GB of RAM (or 16GB if you go for the 1TB model), and an enormous 4,400mAh battery, so on paper at least, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 makes fewer compromises than pretty much any foldable phone we’ve seen thus far. Nice work, Samsung.
