Samsung just unveiled its latest lineup of phones at its London Unpacked event, and the preorder deals and carrier offers are finally here. If you're eyeing the latest devices, like the Galaxy Z Flip 8, traditional carriers like T-Mobile, Verizon, and AT&T aren't the only options for preordering. Amazon has a great preorder deal running right now, which includes a free $200 digital gift card upon purchase.

Your digital Amazon gift card will appear on your account after purchase, and no extra steps or promo codes are needed to obtain this offer. The Galaxy Z Flip 8 devices will officially be released on Aug. 7, and since this is a preorder, you'll have to wait for your phone to become available (even if you're a Prime member).
Amazon estimates preorders to begin arriving to customers starting Aug. 10. The Galaxy Fold 8 and Galaxy Fold 8 Ultra have similar offers, with free $350 digital gift cards available. If you're trading in an older device, the Galaxy Flip 8 offers up to $200 in trade-in value, while the Galaxy Fold 8 and Galaxy Fold 8 Ultra include up to $400 with trade-in.
The Galaxy Z Flip 8 includes a 6.9-inch dynamic AMOLED inner display at a 120Hz refresh rate, with a redesigned "FlexWindow" that brings more apps, notifications, and actions to the cover screen. The phone's 50MP camera features hands-free shooting and auto stabilization, and a "mirror view" with the selfie camera and cover screen. It has the same 4,300mAh battery as the Flip 7, but it has faster 45W charging. Get the phone in 256GB and 512GB storage options, in Cream, Graphite, or Pink colorways.
