You can score unlocked Galaxy Fold 7 units at up to $819 off at Best Buy again (‘Excellent’ open-box)

$819 off/$1,381

The next-generation Galaxy Flip and Fold phones are more than likely inbound this summer, but you are not likely to be saving $800+ on one of those anytime soon like you right now at Best Buy for the Fold 7 (without having to trade anything in). 

There are some $350 price drops live on brand new condition, unlocked units over at Amazon right now, but Best Buy has some wild prices on “excellent” condition open-box units still flying right now, and there’s not telling how much stock remains at this price:

• Open-box Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 512GB Black $1,381 (Reg. $2,200)
• Open-box Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 512GB Blue $1,381 (Reg. $2,200)

Regularly $2,200, these mid-range 512GB models are are seeing some seriously deep discounts in both the Black and Shadow Blue colorways right now – they are both sitting at $819 under the new list price. 

It is also worth noting that Amazon is offering the 512GB model down at $1,770 right now, or within $70 of the lowest price we have tracked there. But even by comparison to the all-time low price, today’s Best Buy open-box offers are still $319 less. 

We certainly wouldn’t blame anyone for waiting on the new series 8 Galaxy foldable later this year, and the potential trade-in values available on those. But the still current-gen series 7 models are wonderful foldables and will remain so for at least another year to come, if you ask me.
