      The unlocked Galaxy Z Fold7 with 256GB of storage is now priced at $1,599.99, reduced from $1,999.99.

      Foldables often epitomize “cool but too pricey,” but this discount on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 (256GB) brings it into a more attainable range. At $1,599.99, it's still a premium price, yet you're getting a high-end flagship that transforms into a tablet-sized screen rather than just another standard device.

      What you’re getting

      The Fold7 adheres to the well-known design that makes Samsung’s foldable lineup appealing: a tall cover display for easy one-handed usability, paired with a generous inner screen once unfolded. That larger display significantly differentiates it from conventional phones. Activities like reading, multitasking in split-screen, gaming, and streaming resemble more of a compact tablet experience than a phone.

      Under the hood, it boasts flagship-level performance, 5G connectivity, and a camera system designed for everyday photography rather than novelty features. The 256GB of storage allows ample space for apps, games, photos, and downloads, eliminating the need for immediate space management. Being unlocked means you can use it with the carrier of your choice or change SIM cards while traveling.

      Why it’s worth it

      At its full price of $1,999.99, the Fold7 mainly appeals to early adopters and power users who are already convinced they want a foldable device. A $400 discount alters the perspective. The price now aligns with many high-end conventional smartphones, but offers hardware that can genuinely transform your usage: running apps side by side, providing a larger workspace for productivity and media, and maintaining the functionality of a standard phone through its cover screen when the whole device isn’t needed.

      You also avoid the typical trade-offs associated with cheaper foldable models or earlier iterations. You receive Samsung's latest advancements in hinges, displays, and software, along with continued updates and ecosystem support. If you've been waiting for an instance where a foldable seems like a warranted upgrade instead of a status symbol, this is a significant opportunity.

      The bottom line

      If you’ve been curious about foldables but were reluctant to purchase at full price, this deal on the Galaxy Z Fold7 (256GB) at $1,599.99 is one of the more rational entry points available. You gain access to cutting-edge hardware, a genuinely practical larger inner display, and all the features of a modern flagship, all at a reduced price of $400.

      Your next Samsung Galaxy A series phone may be more costly

      Speculation is arising about potential price increases for the next-generation Galaxy A series in India.

      Samsung’s upcoming devices might see higher price tags, with reports indicating that even flagship models like the Galaxy S26 series could be affected due to rising component costs such as SoCs, camera modules, and RAM. Recently, a tip suggests that Samsung might soon raise prices for existing Galaxy A models in one market, leading to speculation of similar increases for future Galaxy A series models.

      According to a recent tipster's post on X (via SamMobile), Samsung is reportedly considering a price hike of INR 2,000 (~$22) for the Galaxy A56 in India. Other models in the Galaxy A series might also see increases of INR 1,000 (~$11). While there are no reports of price adjustments for other markets yet, and Samsung has not made any official announcements, this information has led to speculation that the next-generation Galaxy A series could experience similar pricing trends.

      Forget the Galaxy S26; some of Samsung’s most exciting technology of 2026 may debut at CES

      Apple has begun rolling out watchOS 26.2, a new update for Apple Watch. While this update doesn’t introduce many flashy features, it significantly improves sleep tracking functionality. The sleep scores are now more accurately categorized to reflect your actual rest quality over the night (via 9To5Mac).

      Previously, the sleep scores reported by the Apple Watch often seemed overly optimistic. Even on nights with disrupted sleep, the watch still displayed excellent ratings in the morning. However, with watchOS 26.2, Apple has made adjustments to tighten those
