A $300 discount on the Galaxy Z Flip3 brings it to its lowest price ever
Folding phones are extremely cool, but with four-figure MSRPs, they’re hardly mainstream yet. At a normal price of $1,000, theSamsung Galaxy Z Flip3is alreadyrelativelyinexpensive for a device that can bend in half, but ahead ofPrime Day, Amazon has discounted it to $700 — a $300 discount that makes the phone a more realistic option for regular people.
The Flip3 was always a little pricey for what you’re getting. Of course, there’s the novelty of the foldable form factor, which still fetches quite a premium. But aside from that, the Flip3 doesn’t quite meet Samsung’s usual flagship bar in areas like performance or camera quality — and battery life in particular can be rough for more demanding users. It’s a good phone — and a very cool one — just not one that’s necessarily easy to recommend for a thousand bucks. But at $700, the Flip3 is competing more with theGalaxy S21 FEthan it is with theGalaxy S22+— and it looks a lot better for it.
TheGalaxy Z Flip4could be announced in the next few months. In situations like this, we typically advise people wait to see what the new version is like before buying an older generation — but we’re not expecting monumental year-over-year upgrades, and this is such a good deal, it’d probably make sense to pull the trigger now. Head over to Amazon to grab yours.
