Adam Doud/ZDNETFollow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google.Samsung just unveiled its latest lineup of phones at its London Unpacked event, and the preorder deals and carrier offers are finally here. If you're eyeing the latest devices, like the Galaxy Z Flip 8, traditional carriers like T-Mobile, Verizon, and AT&T aren't the only options for preordering. Amazon has a great preorder deal running right now, which includes a free $200 digital gift card upon purchase. Also: Everything announced at Samsung Unpacked 2026: New foldables, smartwatches, moreYour digital Amazon gift card will appear on your account after purchase, and no extra steps or promo codes are needed to obtain this offer. The Galaxy Z Flip 8 devices will officially be released on Aug. 7, and since this is a preorder, you'll have to wait for your phone to become available (even if you're a Prime member). Amazon estimates preorders to begin arriving to customers starting Aug. 10. The Galaxy Fold 8 and Galaxy Fold 8 Ultra have similar offers, with free $350 digital gift cards available. If you're trading in an older device, the Galaxy Flip 8 offers up to $200 in trade-in value, while the Galaxy Fold 8 and Galaxy Fold 8 Ultra include up to $400 with trade-in. The Galaxy Z Flip 8 includes a 6.9-inch dynamic AMOLED inner display at a 120Hz refresh rate, with a redesigned "FlexWindow" that brings more apps, notifications, and actions to the cover screen. The phone's 50MP camera features hands-free shooting and auto stabilization, and a "mirror view" with the selfie camera and cover screen. It has the same 4,300mAh battery as the Flip 7, but it has faster 45W charging. Get the phone in 256GB and 512GB storage options, in Cream, Graphite, or Pink colorways.Also: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 vs. Z Flip 8: I compared both models, and here's the one to buyThe Galaxy Z Fold 8 has a 7.6-inch AMOLED inner screen (120Hz refresh rate) in a 4:3 aspect ratio that expert Prakhar Khanna says is convenient for both watching video and reading. When you close the device, you get a 5.5-inch AMOLED coverscreen (120Hz refresh rate) in a 10:16 aspect ratio. Samsung says it is for "the short moments people return to most often, such as messaging, social updates, browsing and short-form video." No matter which model you choose, this is one of the best deals we've seen so far on unlocked Galaxy 8 series devices. If you're considering upgrading your device or preordering one of Samsung's new phones, I'd highly consider this Amazon deal while you still can. Find more Amazon dealsHow I rated this deal Amazon's preorder deals are usually the best way to obtain the newest phones unlocked for any carrier. This way, you can pay outright, grab some free gift card promos, and take your new phone to a carrier of your choosing (many of which have plenty of promos going on for these new devices). For the flexibility and universal gift card savings, I gave this deal a 5/5 editors' deal rating. It's one of my favorite offers to highlight for its no-strings-attached approach, but it may not be for those who prefer to order through a carrier or need the monthly installment plans offered by them.
