Week one of the Galaxy Z pre-orders is over and we’re now heading into week two with additional incentives to pick up a next-gen foldable. Last week, you could get a free storage upgrade – and you still can.
On top of that, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 comes with a $300 Amazon Gift Card. The phone may be the thinnest-ever horizontal foldable – it certainly is in the US market – and brings large displays (6.5” cover, 8.0” main), a 200MP main camera (plus 10MP 3x/67mm tele and 12MP ultra-wide) and DeX capabilities.
It’s powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite in a 12/512GB configuration for the price of a 256GB unit. What’s not so great is the battery (4,400mAh capacity, 25W/15W charging) and the lack of S Pen support.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 comes with a $200 Amazon Gift Card. Samsung managed to keep the same pricing as last year’s model – you can find a detailed Galaxy Z pricing breakdown here – but part of that involved using the Exynos 2500 chipset over the pricey Snapdragon.
The Z Flip7 also has larger displays (4.1” cover, 6.9” main) and is thinner than its predecessor, while also equipping a larger battery – almost as large as the Z Fold7 at 4,300mAh (with the same 25W/15W charging). What’s lacking is camera upgrades, the phone only really got HDR video support (as did the Fold).

To answer the need for cheaper foldables, Samsung built the Galaxy Z Flip7 FE. It’s basically a Z Flip6 with a different chipset, last year’s Exynos 2400, and less memory – the base configuration is 8/128GB, but you get a free upgrade to the 8/256GB unit during the pre-order period. And this week you also get a $100 Amazon Gift Card.
The Z Flip7 FE is thicker, slower and has a smaller battery than the Z Flip7. That folder-shaped 3.4” cover screen is a bit limiting and the 6.7” inner screen is smaller. The 4,000mAh battery is smaller too. That said, you spend $200 less and get basically the same cameras as the Z Flip7.

Meanwhile, the Nothing Phone (3) didn’t get the best reception from fans, but maybe a free storage upgrade will help you look past its design. This is the first high-end Nothing phone and has a 6.67” 1260p+ OLED display (LTPS), a 5,150mAh battery with 65W/15W charging and four 50MP cameras. This includes a large 1/1.3” sensor in the main, a 3x periscope and an ultra-wide on the back, plus a selfie camera on the front.

Hold up. The OnePlus 13 has dropped to its lowest price in a while – $830 for a 16/512GB unit or just $30 more than the Nothing. This comes with a better display, a 6.82” 1440p+ LTPO panel, a proper flagship chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Elite, and a 6,000mAh battery with 80W/50W charging. The rear cameras all have 50MP sensors – a 1/1.43” in the main, a bigger 1/1.95” in the 3x periscope (vs. 1/2.75” in the Nothing tele camera) and a 120° ultra-wide.

You can also get the OnePlus 13R for $300 less. It has an LTPO display too, a 6.78” 1264p+ panel, and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is actually faster than the 8s Gen 4 inside the Nothing. Not by much, but it’s faster. The 6,000mAh battery with 80W wired-only charging is bigger too. The camera is not as good with a 50MP main (1/1.56”), 50MP with a 2x lens and an 8MP ultra-wide. Still, this costs $270 less than the Nothing flagship.

The new Watch8 series from Samsung is in short supply for some reason. You can still pick up a Samsung Galaxy Watch8 (40mm, Bluetooth) with a $50 Amazon Gift Card.

Or a Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic (46mm, 4G) if you want a rotating bezel. Both have the new squircle design and the same screen size, 1.34”, despite their different body sizes.

You can also pick up the Samsung Galaxy Watch7 for less than half the price of the Watch8. It has a round body and uses the same Exynos W1000 as the Watch8 models. The battery is slightly smaller, but only slightly (300mAh vs. 325mAh).
