Samsung's newest foldable has finally reached store shelves, which means it just got much easier to find a great Galaxy Z Fold 3 deal. The groundbreaking device that brought the foldable phone experience to the mainstream is finally seeing some decent price cuts, with tons of trade-in opportunities and even a few straight discounts available. 

Straight discounts are particularly appealing since they tend to have a domino effect: once a store like Amazon slashes prices on a smartphone, you can usually expect other retailers to follow suit. Will this happen with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3? Only time will tell, but you can rest easy knowing that the best deals can be found below. Of course, if you want the best of the best, we also keep track of Z Fold 4 deals, but if you're cool with saving big on last year's device, this is the page for you.
