If you’re a deals-conscious buyer, then you’ve noticed that the overall deals landscape has gotten pretty intense and somewhat confusing. Naturally, it is a result of the upcoming onslaught of Prime Day deals. But there’s also new stuff coming out worthy of your attention. At Samsung Unpacked, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 — a follow up of the well-received Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 — was announced. Now, you can pre-order it (it’s coming out officially on the 24th) for around $700 after approximately $1,300 in savings and discounts. Check out the phone and offer for yourself via the Samsung store by tapping the button below. But, should you want to see our hands-on look at the phone, its full details, and our reasoning for how you can save $700, keep on reading.

Why you should pre-order the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 is an absolutely beautiful phone with dual displays. Both displays are AMOLED and refresh at 120Hz, providing for smooth entertainment and transitions. While the cover display is 6.3 inches at an HD+ resolution, the larger main display is a full 7.6 inches and has a QXGA+ resolution (that’s 2160 x 1856p). And don’t fear, this folding phone stays slim despite all the digital surfaces. When unfolded it is just 5.6mm in width, or less than a quarter of an inch. See our Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 explainer for all the stats, updates, and design notes.

For a more human touch, though, you’ll need to check out our early hands-on Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 experiences. We really like how this phone feels, more comparable to an iPhone 15 Pro Max in terms of size and weight than you’d expect. The aluminum “armor” that coats the phone and its Gorilla Glass are nice tough for durability as well, though a wide variety of Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 cases are already available.

Finally, it all comes down to the money. First of all, you get $100 in Samsung Credit via Howl when purchasing the Galaxy Z Fold 6, which is a sort of retroactive discount. Secondly, get $50 off your first purchase of $500 or more from the Samsung Shop App (Running savings total: $150). Thirdly, you can get more from trade-ins, with the best returns coming from Samsung, Apple, and Google products. For example, my Pixel 8 Pro could fetch $700, while your Galaxy Note 20 might pull in $500. You can get a maximum of $1,200 in trade-in credits across old phones and tablets. (Running savings total for one phone: ~750; for max trade credit: $1,350). Subtract your savings from the standard price of $2,020 and you have yourself a deal.

The $1,500 flagship might be closer than you think
Flip phones already broke the $1,500 mark this year, and slab flagships aren't far behind.
iPhone 17 Pro and Google Pixel 10 Pro.

In July, a Google executive broke the silence on the ongoing memory crisis, highlighting a more than fourfold increase in RAM prices between 2025 and 2026, and I haven't stopped thinking about it since. The prices have gone up from $2.80 in 2025 to roughly $12 in 2026, as mentioned in the same report. Run the math for a 16GB memory package, and the cost to the company has apparently gone up from $45 to $192.

That's not a rounding error; it's the floor moving under the entire industry's feet. Google is not alone in speaking about the ongoing memory crisis. We've also seen Nothing's CEO speak about it, and other brands like Motorola, OnePlus, and Xiaomi make price adjustments across their lineup.

I’ve used the Pixel 10 Pro a year. I hope Google fixes these nagging issues on the Pixel 11 Pro
Electronics, Mobile Phone, Phone

I’ve been using the Google Pixel 10 Pro for almost a year now, which means I’ve had plenty of time to figure out what I love about it and, more importantly, what still gets on my nerves. And with the Pixel 11 Pro launching on August 12, just three days from now, my wishlist for Google has gotten pretty long. There’s a lot the Pixel already gets right. The software is still one of my favorite Android experiences, performance is generally solid, and Google’s Gemini features have become genuinely useful in ways I didn’t expect. Those are all big reasons I’ve stuck with Pixel phones for as long as I have.

But spend enough time with any phone and the little annoyances stop feeling so little. Over the past year, I’ve run into a handful of recurring Pixel problems that I really don’t want to carry over to another generation. Some have frustrated me for months, while others have made me question whether I can completely rely on my Pixel when I need it most. So, with the Pixel 11 Pro almost here, I have a few things I desperately want Google to get right this time.

Apple is testing Chinese DRAM even after CXMT refused to cut prices
Apple may be testing CXMT memory for iPhones and MacBooks
iPhone 17 Pro Max

Apple’s search for more memory supply has taken another step forward. The company is now testing DRAM from Chinese manufacturer CXMT across several products, including iPhones and MacBooks, according to The Wall Street Journal. Apple has also held early talks with CXMT about supplying memory for some devices sold in China and is seeking support from the US government before moving ahead.

The timing is particularly interesting. Just recently, we learned that a shortage of DRAM could already be holding up production of the A20 Pro chip expected inside the iPhone 18 Pro. TSMC is said to have around $1 billion worth of finished chips waiting for memory before packaging can continue.
