After months of rumors, Samsung has announced the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, a cheaper version of its iconic Z Flip folding phone – but if you act fast, you can get a better flip phone for less before Prime Day ends. You can now get the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 with 512GB of storage for $799.99 (was $1,219.99) at Amazon.

This Amazon Prime Day deal is one of the best I’ve seen – folding phones come at a premium, so finding one at regular flagship prices is pretty rare. What’s more, this Z Flip 6 model comes with 512GB of storage, double the standard 256GB. All that for $799 is almost unheard of, so it checks out that this is the lowest-ever price for this phone.

The Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is due to launch at a starting price of $899, but in many ways, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 is likely to remain the better phone out of the two. While the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE will sport Samsung’s own Exynos 2400 chipset, the Z Flip 6 has a proper flagship chipset in the form of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3

The Galaxy Z Flip 6 also has 12GB of RAM compared to the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE’s 8GB. Apart from that, they’re the same phone, which gives the older Galaxy Z Flip 6 the upper hand. With the mainline Galaxy Z Flip 7 on the way, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 is due to be discontinued soon, so this could be your last chance to get one, especially at such a great price.

Amazon Prime Day deal: Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6

This Galaxy Z Flip 6 deal is a rarity: this is a foldable phone from a major phone maker with 512GB of storage on sale for no more than a typical flagship. It helps that the Galaxy Z Flip 6 is also our pick for the best flip-folding phone on the market: its balance of stylish, durable design and flagship-grade internals makes it a solid pick for those who value portability, flair, or just doing things a bit differently.

It’s not all about comparison – the Galaxy Z Flip 6 is a very powerful phone in its own right. With a 6.7-inch folding display and 3.4-inch cover screen, this phone is all about giving you options in how you take on your day-to-day mobile tasks.

The phone also comes equipped with a 50MP main camera and a 12MP ultra-wide camera, and the 10MP selfie camera offers plenty of chances for creativity when combined with the phone’s folding frame.

And about that frame, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 is still one of the most stylish phones on the market. It’s also the only flip-style folding phone I’ve used that doesn’t wobble when partially open, reflecting the sturdiness we noticed in our Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 review.

This lowest-ever price is a fabulous deal on one of the best folding phones that won’t be sticking around on shelves for much longer – if the Galaxy Z Flip 6 seems like the phone for you, it could be wise to buy now, before the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE takes its place.

Samsung Galaxy S25
Samsung Galaxy S25: was $799 now $584.99 at Amazon

The Samsung Galaxy S25 is a powerful flagship that ticks all the boxes: it's got the Snapdragon 8 Elite (the best Android chipset), 12GB of RAM, and a triple-camera system with 3x optical zoom. You'll lose out on the Ultra's extra telephoto camera and have to settle for a smaller 50MP main lens, but for most people, this is the Galaxy phone to go for. This discount knocks a cool $215 off the price of the model with 128GB of storage.

The Google Pixel 9 Pro was our phone of the year in 2024 because of its reliability: this is a phone that does everything you need a smartphone to do, and does it very well. As well as the Tensor G4 chipset and 12GB of RAM, the Google Pixel 9 Pro boasts a fantastic camera system with a 50MP main camera and a 3x telephoto zoom lens. This deal brings the price of this powerful phone below the list price of the normal Pixel 9, meaning it's not one to be missed.

OnePlus 13
OnePlus 13: was $899 now $779 at Amazon

The OnePlus 13 is so well-specced that it barely makes sense; in keeping with the Chinese brand's previous releases, the OnePlus 13 is far more powerful than most phones at its price. This heavy-hitting handset comes with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, a massive 6.82-inch display, and 12GB of RAM. Its OxygenOS 15 Android wrapper is also a favorite at TechRadar thanks to its responsive design and well-considered aesthetics.
