Remember those super-early Black Friday 2023 promotions Best Buy kicked off a couple of weeks back? Well, there are now more of them available for holiday shoppers on tight budgets, allowing anyone to save big on everything from the Surface Pro 9 to the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, Galaxy S23 Ultra, and Galaxy Z Flip 5 without jumping through hoops or waiting another second.
That’s despite the fact that this flexible Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 powerhouse is not discounted quite as deeply as the “conventional” S23 Ultra flagship, only costing 200 bucks less than usual in both 256 and 512GB storage variants and a few different colorways. Of course, that happens to be a huge markdown for such an incredibly eye-catching and decidedly feature-packed product released just three months ago at a starting price of $999.99, matching Amazon’s killer Prime Day fall deal from October.
But by high-end Samsung foldable standards, you’re certainly looking at a solid bargain here (at the very least), and no, we definitely wouldn’t be surprised if this were to remain the Z Flip 5‘s best offer with no strings attached through the end of the year.
By no means a perfect phone on the whole or a particularly impressive cameraphone, for instance, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 absolutely shines in the functionality and versatility departments while also guaranteeing you’ll turn a lot of heads wherever you go whenever flipping this bad boy open and shut.
A marvel of modern mobile device engineering, the Android 13-based clamshell is guaranteed to stay relevant and up to date from a software standpoint for several years to come, which means that in a way, your $799.99 (or $919.99 for a 512GB model) expense can also be viewed as a smart investment for the industry’s foldable-first future.
