The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 is set to hit store shelves next week, but for folks who don't want to wait, AT&T just dropped one of the best preorder deals I've seen yet.

Process a trade-in and add a line with an eligible data plan and AT&T will give you up to $1,000 off the Galaxy Z Flip 8. That knocks the price of the innovative foldable down to just $5.56 per month for 36 months! Think of it as the large latte that you order every month, except it's not a latte: it's an incredible 2026 flip phone.

AT&T has listed the Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus, Z Flip 4, and Galaxy Z Flip 3 (or higher) as devices that will earn you the full $1,000 of trade-in credit, while older devices dating all the way back to the Samsung Galaxy S10 series will guarantee you $500 off your preorder. A new line on the carrier's Extra 2.0 plan or higher is also required to earn the full discount.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 takes the foundation of last year's excellent Z Flip 7 and adds a thinner and more lightweight build along with the incorporation of a custom Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor. The finished product is a powerful flip phone with a sleek, sophisticated design, outstanding performance, and seven years of OS and security upgrades guaranteed.

It also retails for $100 more than last year's version, which is why Galaxy Z Flip 8 preorder deals like the offer above are so important. Sure, this deal isn't for everyone, and there's probably no urgent reason to upgrade if you already own the Galaxy Z Flip 7. But if you've had your eye on Samsung's latest masterpiece and you're looking to upgrade your wireless service, this AT&T deal is one of the best on the web.
