If you're looking to grab one of the best foldable phones in 2026, then there's a great deal for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 at the moment that could be for you.

Right now, you can score the 256GB Galaxy Z Fold 7 for 20% off at Amazon, dropping it down to just $1,599. What's even better is that this deal is for all three colors: Jet Black, Blue Shadow, and Silver Shadow. While it isn't the cheapest we've ever seen the phone, it's still a pretty stellar discount.

If you're looking for the peak of foldable phones, then you can't do much better than the Galaxy Z Fold 7. With an 8-inch main screen and a 6.5-inch outer display, the Z Fold 7 takes everything we love about foldable phones and pushes it to the max. Combine that with the Snapdragon 8 Elite's power and the improved cameras, and it becomes the perfect foldable package.

Alternatively, you can grab the Galaxy Z Fold 7 for $1,499 from Best Buy, but only if you connect it to either Verizon or AT&T.

I used to think foldable phones were a bit of a gimmick, but I changed my mind after using the Galaxy Z Fold 5. However, even that phone had its share of issues that hampered the experience. Samsung has taken many of these problems and solved them with the Galaxy Z Fold 7, offering a much more compelling experience overall. It truly sold me on using a foldable phone as my daily driver.

Firstly, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is noticeably thinner than its predecessors, measuring only 4.2mm while also showing off impressive durability. The larger 8-inch inner display is appreciated, but, more importantly for me, is the larger 6.5-inch outer screen. One of the biggest issues with Samsung's foldables to date is that the outer screen was hard to use, but that's not the case here.

It's not just the display that's seen a boost, as Samsung also improved the cameras, upgrading the 50MP main camera from before to a pixel-crunching 200MP one. Meanwhile, the 12MP ultrawide gains access to autofocus to help you capture the best image possible. You also have a 10MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom and 30x space zoom to get even closer to subjects. For selfies, you have a 10MP camera on both the outer and inner display.

Sadly, the one area that Samsung hasn't improved from the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is the battery size, with the Z Fold 7 still featuring a 4,400 mAh cell. With that being said, the Z Fold 7 does feature the more powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, which, while also being more powerful, offers impressive power efficiency as well as helping to support the wealth of Galaxy AI features.

While foldable phones have a lot to offer, they've always been hampered by the price. As such, this President's Day deal is certainly one to consider.
