The Labor Day sales are in full swing across the web, and there’s at least one Samsung phone deal that’s making history. For the first time since the device was announced in late July, Amazon is carving a straight $300 off the Galaxy Z Fold 7. No trade-in necessary, no confusing eligibility requirements to worry about: just good old-fashioned savings on a cutting-edge foldable phone.
This Labor Day deal is most likely happening because Google is set to release its own new foldable, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, in October. But hey, a little friendly competition never hurt anyone, right?
✅Recommended if: you want a powerful foldable phone with a thin, lightweight design and excellent performance; you’re a big fan of Samsung devices and you don’t mind paying a premium for them.
❌Skip this deal if: you’re looking for a small phone or something affordable; you need a phone with incredible battery life or S Pen compatibility.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 proves that you don’t need to sacrifice performance to get an ultra-thin, lightweight foldable. The device is basically a powerful smartphone and Android tablet all rolled into one, coming complete with the incredible Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and the same camera tech that’s used in the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
The folding hinge is also better than ever, with a nearly-invisible crease and two of the best AMOLED displays we’ve ever seen. The Z Fold 7 also comes with all of the latest AI features from Samsung, plus seven years of OS and security upgrades guaranteed.
Of course, the lightweight build means that the Z Fold 7 had to sacrifice some battery life, but our testing showed that the phone will still last up to 20 hours before it needs more juice. Still, if you need a smartphone that’s going to last over a day on a single charge, I might look elsewhere. The Z Fold 7 only has IP48 water/dust protection, which could be a problem if you like to take your phone into more rugged environments.
Indeed, the elephant in the room is that most foldable enthusiasts will be choosing between the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, and the decision isn’t easy. The Z Fold 7 has the lightweight design and powerful processor, but the Pixel 10 Pro Fold boasts IP68 protection and increased battery capacity. Will this $300 Labor Day discount tip the scales for Samsung? It’s a tough call, but if you’re into foldable phones, you can’t go wrong either way.
