The Galaxy Z Fold8 and Z Flip8 are around one-third off this week – these are massive discounts for cutting-edge foldables that only launched last month. The big Z Fold8 Ultra along with the Pixel 11 series has smaller discounts that are still worth a look.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 is down to €1,430 for the base 12/256GB unit. The upgrade to 512GB storage is quite pricey at the moment despite a fairly decent discount on it. As a reminder, the 256GB iPhone Duo will start at €2,300 and Apple devices aren’t as fast with the price cuts. We haven’t tested the Duo yet, but here’s an overview of how it compares against the Z Fold8.
The larger Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, the successor to the Z Fold7 from last year, is around €250 off. You can check out our Galaxy Z Fold8 vs. Z Fold8 Ultra article for a detailed comparison – the different form factors make these better-suited for different use-cases.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 is a third off. With both Google and now Apple focusing on horizontal foldables, there aren’t many flips even in Europe (the Chinese makers are pretty lukewarm on flips too). Compared to its predecessor, the 2026 Flip brings a new chipset (Exynos 2600 vs. 2500), but not much else. It has a Si/C battery, but it has the same capacity as before, 4,300mAh, and is rated at the same 25W charging. Official numbers aside, in our review we found that the new model lasts longer on a charge and then charges faster. Samsung didn’t do much to fix the thermal throttling, though.
The Google Pixel 11 series has discounts ranging from €100 to €180. We start with the base model, the Pixel 11, which shares a lot of similarities with the 11 Pro. However, the Pro model has several key advantages to justify its higher price – our Pixel 11 vs. Pixel 11 Pro article goes into details to help you decide which model is better value for money.
The Pixel 11 Pro improves on the 10 Pro from last year, but there are no massive upgrades. Even the Tensor G6 turned out to be underwhelming. For a detailed look at what’s new and what’s actually better, head over to our Pixel 10 Pro vs. Pixel 11 Pro article.
The Pixel 11 Pro XL is what its name suggests – a 6.8” version of the 11 Pro (which has a 6.3” display). This comes with a bigger battery too, which did result in an Active Use Score that is
