Cyber ​​Monday: The best foldable deals for America

Black Friday is behind us, but today is the tech shopping day of the year. Cyber ​​Monday deals may be even better than last week – for example, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is $100 less. Samsung is also running its promo campaign with huge discounts.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 impresses with its dimensions – it measures 158.4 x 72.8 x 8.9 mm and weighs 215 grams. The Pixel 10 Pro XL is 162.8 x 76.6 x 8.5 mm and 232 grams. Yes, the non-folding Pro XL is slightly larger and heavier than the folding Samsung! The Pixel 10 Pro Fold measures 155.2 x 76.3 x 10.8 mm and 258 grams.

Performance and multitasking are strongly in Samsung’s favor – the Snapdragon 8 Elite outclasses the Tensor G5 and DeX is much more mature than Android 16 desktop mode. And right now Samsung US is offering a free storage upgrade.

Well, there is a way to get additional discounts – you can check here if you are eligible for the Samsung Offers program. Programs are available to teachers and students, first responders and healthcare workers, military personnel and government employees, as well as eligible employees of 1,000+ participating companies. In the case of the Z Fold7, this brings an additional discount of $258.

No phone can match the camera hardware of its rugged counterpart. The Samsung has a 200MP 1/1.3″ main and the same mid-range tele camera as the S25 Ultra, a 10MP 3x/67mm, but no periscope and only a 12MP sensor in the ultra-wide. The Pixel has a smaller 48MP 1/2.0″ sensor in the main and an equally impressive 10.5MP ultra-wide. Its 10.8MP 5x/112mm camera has a long tele lens.

The Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold has a slight edge in price over the Galaxy Z Fold7, though $100 less on a phone that costs more than $1,000 isn’t much. Both phones promise 7 years of OS upgrades. Whether their chipsets and RAM capacity (only 12GB on the Galaxy vs. 16GB on the Pixel) are enough in the 2030s remains to be seen.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 is a major upgrade from its predecessor – the huge 4.1″ cover display with a regular size makes the phone much easier to use when closed compared to the awkwardly shaped 3.4″ display on the Z Flip6.

Plus, the new model is thinner (6.5mm open and 13.7mm closed vs. 6.9mm and 14.9mm) with a larger 4,300mAh battery to boot (up by +300mAh). The Exynos 2500 is a bit of a bummer if you were expecting a Snapdragon, but it’s certainly fast enough – the Z Flip7 is also the first Z Flip with DeX support. Unfortunately, Samsung neglected to upgrade the cameras – a 50MP main (1/1.57”) and a 12MP ultra-wide are all you get.

The Motorola Razr Ultra 2025 is named after one of the best flip phones back in the day. It features a 4.0″ cover and 7.0″ inner display (compared to 6.9″ on the Samsung). Both phones are rated IP48 for basic ingress protection and resistance against submersion.

The Razer uses the Snapdragon 8 Elite which you’d expect from Samsung. And it has more RAM to boot, 16GB vs. 12GB. However, it lacks ReadyFor support, which is Motorola’s alternative to DeX.

With a larger 4,700mAh battery, the Moto Razr Ultra 2025 lasts longer (15:10h vs 11:52h active usage score). The 68W wired charging is much faster than Samsung’s 25W. In half an hour, it takes the phone to 78% compared to 46% (despite filling the larger 400mAh battery). A full charge takes half the time – 45 minutes vs. 1 hour 31 minutes. Wireless charging is also faster, 30W vs 15W.

Motorola is promising only 3 OS updates and an additional year of security patches for the Razr. This is much smaller than the 7 OS updates that Samsung is promising for the Galaxy Z Flip7. What’s worse, the Galaxy launches with Android 16, while the Razer launches with Android 15, further exacerbating the update disparity.
