Prime Early Access has the Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Fold 4 sales you’ve been waiting for

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 are barely a couple of months old, but they are already tempting buys. If you thought the $1,000 price tag for the Flip 4 was too much but you still had your eyes on the device, we have some good news for you.

Choose the correct Flip

As part of Amazon’s Prime Early Access Sale, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 has received a $200 price cut, and is now selling at $800 — down from $1,000. You might look at the Amazon listings and come across the Flip 3, which is even cheaper at $750. But you shouldn’t save those $50, because the Galaxy Z Flip 4 packs one big advantage over the Flip 3 despite the number of similarities.

The Samsung Galaxy Flip 4 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, which is more efficient than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 that powers the Galaxy Z Flip 3. As a result, the latest clamshell foldable packs a better battery life than the Flip 3. So we suggest you spend that extra $50 and buy the Galaxy Z Flip 4 for $800. It was already a compelling phone at $1,000, but at $800, it’s nearly impossible to ignore.

It’s not just the Galaxy Z Flip 4 that is being offered at a discounted price. The Galaxy Z Fold 4 is also down to $1,390, which is $410 off the $1,800 MSRP. This is the best deal for anyone looking to get into the foldable segment as the Fold 4 is a top-tier foldable flagship — and undoubtedly the best available on the market. Here’s why.

First, the Fold 4 comes with a new hinge design that is rated to be more durable than the Fold 3. It will likely last you for years to come. I’ve been using mine for almost eight weeks now, and I haven’t faced a problem with it yet.

Second, the cameras are better than the predecessor. They might not be flagship-level of the S22 Ultra as the Fold 4 lacks a 100x zoom, but these are still very good cameras. The colors are consistent across the three cameras, and I’ve managed to shoot some pretty good pictures in my time with the device.

Third, the display is brighter, so it is more legible in direct sunlight. I’ve been able to read on my Fold 4 in harsh light without any issues. Apart from these three stand-out upgrades, you get all of the Fold 3 goodness, like support for S-Pen, up to 120Hz refresh rate, and more.

Amazon’s Prime Day sale has proven to be one of the best times to get yourself immersed in the foldable land. These deals on Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Galaxy Z Fold 4 are too good to resist, especially considering the phones just launched in late August. You are getting a clamshell foldable for $800, which is the cheapest it has ever been, and the Fold 4 is one of the most unique smartphones available today. No matter which one you choose now’s the best time to finally jump aboard the foldable bandwagon. You know you want to.

It's the final day of Amazon's Prime Early Access sale, which means in just a few hours all of the best Prime Day deals will be gone. Admittedly, Amazon isn't the only one having all the fun. Walmart's October Rollbacks event, for example, is basically a Walmart Prime Day sale, and it's live now -- running at the same time as Prime Early Access. But when it's time to wrap it all up, that's it, at least until Black Friday rolls around, so you'll want to get your early shopping done today.

We've rounded up all of the best deals available as part of Amazon's Prime Early Access sale, which you'll find below. While these may be some of our favorites, there are so many more to discover, so be sure to take a look for yourself too!

It's here. It's live. It's time to save big! The Prime Early Access sale, currently underway, is a two-day event that runs until late on October 12. That means if you're keen to buy yourself a new iPad, you're in the right place. Thanks to previous Prime Day iPad deals being pretty special, we're counting on the Prime Early Access sale to offer everything you could need at an excellent price.

Crucially, that's because while the Prime Early Access sale may have a different name from Prime Day deals of the past, it's basically the same sale but at a more holiday shopping-friendly time of year. Prime Day traditionally focuses on highly sought-after technology with Prime Day tablet deals often a major highlight, and we know it will be similar here. Other retailers are joining the fun, releasing their own deals and promotions, like Walmart's October Rollbacks promotion which is basically just a Walmart Prime Day sale.
