Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 pre-orders — top deals and offers in Australia

After months of rumours and speculation, Samsung's new Galaxy Z Fold 8 lineup has been officially unveiled at the latest Galaxy Unpacked event, which means Galaxy Z Fold 8 pre-orders are officially open.

Arguably the biggest reveal is the new Galaxy Z Fold 8, which adopts a shorter, wider, passport‑like shape with a 5.5‑inch cover screen and a 7.6‑inch main display, while the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra keeps the taller, classic layout with a 6.5‑inch cover screen and an 8‑inch main display.

But that's not all this year: the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and the Z Fold 8 Ultra boast Samsung's new Flex Titanium display, which adds a flexible titanium‑alloy film under the foldable OLED panel to increase durability and significantly reduce the crease on both devices.

Maybe the biggest change is Samsung finally adopting silicon‑carbon batteries for both the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Fold 8 Ultra, which raises capacity from last year’s 4,400mAh in the Z Fold 7 to 5,000mAh in the Z Fold 8 Ultra and 4,800mAh in the smaller Z Fold 8. It also brings about faster charging, going from 25W (wired) and 15W (wireless) on the Z Fold 7, to 45W (wired) and 20W (wireless) on the Z Fold 8 range.

Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Fold 8 Ultra are set to release on August 14, 2026, with pre-orders ending at 11:59pm AEST the night before. As always, Australia's top retailers and telcos are offering bonuses to those who purchase one of the new devices ahead of release date, with discounts and free storage upgrades up for grabs. To make things easier for you, we've compiled all the best Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 pre-order deals and offers below.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 offers

If you plan to buy a Galaxy Z Fold 8 or Z Fold 8 Ultra outright, Samsung and Amazon Australia offer the strongest pre-order value. Samsung lets you layer several savings together: an Eco-Voucher worth up to AU$150 off when you bundle with other Samsung ecosystem devices and accessories (using code UNFOLD2026 and within the first 72 hours, which then drops down to AU$50 for the rest of the pre-order period), AU$150 back when paying via PayPal, a AU$200 price drop on 1TB models with code TR-FOLD8, and up to AU$150 in extra trade-in credit. Amazon keeps it simple for those buying outright by bundling a AU$300 Amazon digital gift card with Galaxy Z Fold 8 pre-orders. JB Hi-Fi also appeals to outright buyers with a AU$300 store gift card.

For those who prefer paying off the phone over time, the major mobile carriers are cutting hundreds off handset costs on repayment plans. Optus offers a flat AU$750 off any model paired with AU$15p/m SIM plan savings, while Vodafone drops AU$700 off the device price, matches the $300 trade-in credit, and offers steep discounts on bundled Galaxy Watch products.
