The Story in Brief
Samsung's Galaxy Z8 foldables and new smartwatches are on sale globally after Friday's launch. The Galaxy Z Flip8 has a straight-up €340 discount, while the Z Fold8 accounted for 40% of European and 70% of Korean pre-orders. A brief €400 off Amazon offer for the Z Fold8 models has expired.
Smartwatch deals tie to Amazon Prime: the Galaxy Watch9 is €100 off, the Watch Ultra2 €150 off. Separately, India Today reports the Galaxy S25 Ultra is listed at Rs 94,999 on Amazon India, down from Rs 1,29,999, with an extra Rs 5,000 bank discount dropping the effective price to Rs 89,999. Google's Pixel 11 series unveils next week.
The Indian Opinion
Foldable discounts mask a bigger question: will buyers pay a premium for bendable screens when the S25 Ultra drops to Rs 89,999? The Flip8's €340 cut looks strong, but the Fold8's lack of a similar upfront deal suggests Samsung knows demand is fragile. Watch whether the Ultra2's higher battery and diving certification justify a price gap, or if reviewers call it a gimmick. The real test: how quickly do Z8 prices slide before Pixel 11 lands? A single Amazon price change will settle it.
