SAMSUNG

Galaxy Z Fold3 down to US$1,499.99 with Galaxy Buds2 earbuds included in Black Friday sales

Amazon US and Samsung US have included the Galaxy Z Fold3 in their Black Friday deals. Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Z Fold3 alongside the Galaxy Z Flip3 in August, both with Snapdragon 888 SoCs. Currently, Amazon US is offering the greatest discount on the Galaxy Z Fold3, but you could save slightly more if you are a Samsung Discount Program member.

Specifically, Amazon US is selling the Galaxy Z Fold3 for US$1,499.99 or US$1,599.99 for the 512 GB edition. The device is available at these prices in Phantom Silver, Phantom Green and Phantom Black, for reference. Additionally, Amazon US has reduced the cost of the Galaxy Z Fold3 + S Pen Case bundle, which now starts at US$1,579.98.

Hence, the Galaxy Z Fold3 is available at a US$300 discount across all configurations, which varies between a 15% and 17% reduction. However, Amazon US includes a pair of Galaxy Buds2 if you purchase the Galaxy Z Fold3 on its own, increasing the discounts even further. For reference, the Galaxy Buds2 retail for US$149.99 normally and US$119.99 during Black Friday (affiliate link).

By contrast, the Galaxy Z Fold3 starts at US$1,549.99 on Samsung US, with the Galaxy Buds2 included too. While this represents a US$250 saving, Samsung Discount Program members can take a further US$77.50 off that price, bringing the total savings up to US$327.50 without factoring in the value of the Galaxy Buds2.

Samsung's offer runs until December 5. Unfortunately, Amazon US has not disclosed when its comparable Black Friday deal expires.
