Samsung's new Galaxy Z Flip 8 has been revealed, with T-Mobile offering a compelling preorder deal. Customers can acquire the flip phone for as little as $100 by trading in a device and subscribing to the Experience Beyond or Experience More plans, or by using existing Go5G Next or Go5G Plus plans. This deal provides a significant discount of $1,100 off the device's full price.

The Galaxy Z Flip 8 features the new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, shared with other high-end Samsung devices, and boasts a thinner, lighter design. It also includes advanced AI software features and a commitment to seven years of OS and security updates. While the displays and cameras are similar to the previous model, the preorder discount helps mitigate the $1,199.99 retail cost.

Trade-in eligibility is broad, with Samsung phones from the Galaxy S20 series onwards qualifying for the full credit. Other manufacturers like Apple, Motorola, and OnePlus also have eligible devices. The Galaxy Z Flip 8 is set to release on August 7th.
