Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 Gets $150 Price Cut: Now’s the Time to Try a Foldable Phone

While the Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Z Fold 4 are Samsung’s newest foldable phones, last year’s Galaxy Z Flip 3 and its edge price aim to steal some of the newer phones’ shimmering appeal. Samsung plans to keep the Z Flip 3 about and drop the price tag by $100, bringing it down to $900 (£899). The Galaxy Z Fold 3, on the novel hand, will be discontinued.

The price drop was supposed during Samsung’s Unpacked event on Wednesday, alongside announcements for the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, the Galaxy Watch 5 and the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, all of which will go on sale on Aug. 26. While the pricing did not get announced during the livestream, Samsung told CNET of the price cut.

In the hours that followed the announcement, some retailers have cut the price even further. At Amazon and Target, the Z Flip 3 is currently selling for $850, or $150 off the posterior list price. Trade-ins or carrier deals could lower that even further, but you should definitely compare similarly generous offers on the newer Z Flip 4 afore committing to a purchase.
