The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 launch Friday, July 25th. That’s soon! Even if you’re not the type of person who usually pre-orders things, there’s good reason to consider doing it before then. The biggest perk is that you’ll get upgraded to the 512GB version of either device without paying the usual $119.99 premium, and trade-in values will be better before the launch versus after. The ability to get more for less expires at the end of tomorrow, July 24th.

As you might expect, each retailer and carrier is doing things a little bit differently with pre-orders. Of all your options, buying directly through Samsung may be the way to go. If you have a trade-in, you can save about half off your new device. If you aren’t trading up, you can instantly get $350 in Samsung credit to buy a Galaxy Watch 8, or something else.

My colleague Allison Johnson recently published her review of the Z Fold 7. Its biggest flaw is just how darn expensive it is, costing $1,999.99 for those who aren’t trading or taking advantage of a carrier promotion. If you can get past that (hopefully, you find a deal that works for you), this is as polished as foldable phones come these days. Stay tuned for her review of the Z Flip 7.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7

$2000

It costs a pretty penny, but the Z Fold 7 is Samsung’s finest foldable yet. When it’s closed it’s basically the size of a regular phone, so the big 8-inch inner screen feels like it’s all upside.

Other deals we think you’ll like

If you want a smart lock that doesn’t look like a smart lock, the Level Lock Plus is a solid option. It has no branding, and it supports Home Key, letting you unlock it by holding your compatible iPhone or Apple Watch nearby. Its original $329 price made it tough to recommend to most people, but there’s a stellar bundle available on Level’s site that includes the Level Lock Plus (Wi-Fi), plus a physical keypad that can unlock it for $228. It’s a savings of $180. Read our review.
Nearly all of Belkin’s cables, cases, and charging gadgets are 20 percent off for Verge readers through July 31st. Enter the code VERGE20 to save on your cart, but keep in mind that this offer excludes new products (including its great Switch 2 charging case) and refurbished products. What’s more, you can get free shipping on orders over $75. In case you need some ideas on what to get, its Pro Thunderbolt 4 Dock drops from $299.99 to $239.99, and its iPhone MagSafe laptop mount that lets you turn your phone into a webcam via Continuity Camera on a Mac Laptop is $23.99, down from $29.99.
Costco is offering a wild discount to members on the 49-inch Samsung G91SD curved QD-OLED gaming monitor. While other retailers including Best Buy have knocked it down to $799.99, you can snag it for $200 less at Costco (originally $1,299.99). That’s not bad at all — in fact, it’s nearly as affordable as most flat 27-inch models with similar specs. The G91SD features a 32:9 5,120 x 1,440 QD-OLED panel with 110 pixels per inch (not great, but not terrible), and up to 144Hz refresh rate with G-Sync and FreeSync Premium Pro compatibility. It features two HDMI 2.1 ports and a single DisplayPort 1.4 port. If you’re alrighty with a curved display, this deal essentially puts two 25-inch OLED monitors side-by-side on your desk. What’s more, it has a three-year warranty that protects against burn-in and other defects.
