Best Buy Cuts Galaxy Z Fold 7 by $500 to $1,499.99 Ahead of July 22 Launch

3 articles · Updated · Android Central · Jul 8

Summary

  • $500 off drops Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 to $1,499.99 at Best Buy for the 256GB unlocked model, a steep cut from its $1,999.99 list price.
  • July 22 is Samsung's next Galaxy Unpacked event in London, putting the expected Galaxy Z Fold 8 reveal about two weeks away and making the older model a cheaper alternative.
  • The Z Fold 7 still offers premium foldable hardware — a thin design, dual Dynamic AMOLED displays, Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy and 12GB of RAM — though battery life is a weaker point.
  • Leaks suggest the Z Fold 8 may bring a larger battery, faster charging and possibly a better screen, framing the current deal around whether those upgrades justify at least $500 more.
