Samsung’s new foldables launched only a couple of weeks ago, while Google’s Pixel 9 series will be replaced with the 10-series later this month. Let’s have a closer look at their prices.
This might not last long, but the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 got its first discount – the 512GB model, only in Jet Black, is just under $2,000 now – that makes it a bit cheaper than the 256GB MSRP.
Alternatively, you can get a gift card but then there’s no discount – the 256GB model is $2,000, the 512GB one is $2,120, but you score a $200 Amazon Gift Card, so the effective price is lower. If you don’t want to deal with gift cards, use the deal below.
The Google Pixel 9a, the affordable model of the family, is at $400 – its lowest price yet. The discount is the same for both the 128GB and 256GB versions.
If you’re looking at the 9a, you should also consider the Pixel 9. It’s quite a step up in price – $200 up, which is +50% for the 128GB model – but you get more RAM (12GB vs. 8GB), better glass (GG Victus 2 vs. GG 3) and, most importantly, a better camera system. Here is a detailed Pixel 9 vs. 9a comparison.
Another $200 step up brings us to the Google Pixel 9 Pro. This one is the same size as the other two with a 6.3” display, but it’s a premium LTPO panel with a higher resolution (1280p+ vs. 1080p+) and adds a 48MP 5x/113mm telephoto camera. You can read more on Pixel 9 vs. 9 Pro here.
Last week, we put the Samsung and Motorola flip foldables head to head. The Motorola Razr+ 2025 presents an interesting alternative to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE, but last week the discount was only $50.
Now it’s over $200, which tilts things in favor of the Moto flip. It has a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, the Samsung has an Exynos 2400. The Moto boasts bigger inner (6.9” vs. 6.7”) and cover (4.0” vs. 3.4”) displays. The batteries have the same capacity (4,000mAh), but the Moto charges faster over USB (45W vs. 25W) and the same wirelessly (15W). Both phones have 50MP main cameras (the Samsung has a larger sensor), but their secondary cameras differ – 50MP 2x/47mm telephoto for the Razr and 12MP ultra-wide for the Galaxy.
We’re hearing rumors of upcoming Galaxy Tab S11 and Tab S10 Lite models, but for now the Tab S10 series is the flagship offering from Samsung. The Galaxy Tab S10+ is $180 off for the base model and $120 off for the version with more storage – of course, the microSD slot offers an alternative way to get more storage. This model has a 12.4” 120Hz OLED display.
For a more affordable option – or if you prefer LCD over OLED – the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE and Tab S10 FE+ come in 10.9” and 13.1” sizes, respectively, both with 90Hz IPS LCDs. These have mid-range chips (Exynos 1580 vs. Dimensity 9300+), so they are better-suited for productivity and streaming, AAA gaming is better left to the flagship model.
