Android lovers and fans of the Samsung Galaxy phone lineup are eagerly awaiting the July 25 release of the latest foldable in Samsung’s lineup, the Galaxy Z Flip 7. It’s not the cheapest phone out there, with a retail price of $1,220 for the 512 GB variant, but the great news is you can get one for less thanks to some intriguing preorder offers.
Right now, Amazon is offering a trifecta of savings: Pick up the Galaxy Z Flip 7 for $120 off, plus get a $200 Amazon gift card and double the storage on the phone. That means you get this entire bundle for $1,100. Combine the bundle for a value of $1,420, and you save $320. Be quick — this offer expires July 24.
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 offers a 4.1-inch cover screen and a 6.9-inch inner screen, both of which run at 120Hz, offering a clear picture quality no matter how you view the phone. The FlexWindow, which is the cover display, supports Gemini, including Gemini Live. It also boasts a 4,300-mAh battery for all-day performance. The Flip 7 comes in three colors: blue shadow, jet black and coral red. Note that Samsung also offers a fourth color, mint, on its website, but that is not part of the Amazon offer.
The redesigned Z Flip 7 is thinner than its predecessor, the Z Flip 6, but, as reviewer Patrick Holland describes, it is sturdier than ever. He writes, “After less than 6 hours with the Galaxy Z Flip 7, I accidentally performed my own informal drop test. At a catered affair in Brooklyn, I walked outside to get a view of the waterfront, and when I pulled the Z Flip 7 out of my pocket, I fumbled it. I watched helplessly as Samsung’s newest foldable phone fell to the ground.”
A cringe moment for sure, but the outcome? The phone was perfectly fine. No scratches, no damage. As Holland notes, “Samsung’s claim that its new ‘Armour Flex Hinge’ is built to withstand impact is indeed true.”

Why this deal matters
In a comparable deal, we’ve seen Samsung preorders for the Galaxy Z Flip 7 currently include a $120 discount on the phone as well, bringing it down to $1,100 for the 512 GB model, so it also includes the free storage upgrade. While you do have the potential for trade-in with Samsung, if you aren’t seeking to trade in an older phone, the Amazon offer beats Samsung by throwing in the $200 Amazon gift card, which you can use for anything you want. Since Amazon has everything from groceries to phone cases, it’s a versatile option for a lower price. Overall, this bundle nets you the phone, extra storage and some spending money for the same price as the Samsung offer.
