This week we found some huge discounts on foldable phones that go up to $500 off. Don’t worry, though, there are plenty of bar phones to go around if you are not a fan of foldables.
The Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold is $300 off at the moment, which makes it cheaper than the Samsung foldable at equal storage levels. The Pixel is down on performance (Tensor G5 vs. Snapdragon 8 Elite), but it does have more RAM than most Z Fold7 configurations (only the 1TB model has 16GB of RAM).
The main 48MP camera on the Pixel 10 Pro Fold has a disappointingly small 1/2.0” sensor, which looks insufficient next to the 200MP 1/1.3” sensor of the Galaxy. The 10.8MP 5x/112mm periscope (vs. 10MP 3x/60mm) and 10.5MP 127° ultra-wide (vs. 12MP 120°) are comparable, though. The same goes for the selfie cameras (a pair of 10MP sensors on each).
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 has a bigger $400 discount but also a higher base price, so its 12/256GB model ends up costing almost as much as a 16/512GB Pixel foldable. Still, the extra performance and mature DeX multitasking capabilities, plus the option of using an S Pen (sold separately) may be worth it to some.
Google is yet to make a flip, but Samsung is on its 6th generation (unless you count the Z Flip 5G as a separate generation). The Galaxy Z Flip7 is powered by an Exynos 2500, which is paired with a 4,300mAh battery for a decent 11:52 Active Use Score. The 50MP main camera has a 1/1.57” sensor, similar to the S25 and S25+, and it is joined by a 12MP ultra-wide (there is no tele lens on board). This generation lets you use DeX on an external display too, it’s no longer exclusive to the Z Fold.
The Motorola Razr Ultra 2025 is cheaper than the Samsung clamshell – you can have a 16/512GB for $100 less than the price of a 12/256GB Z Flip7. The Motorola features the Snapdragon 8 Elite, which trades blows with the Exynos in synthetic benchmarks.
However, the larger 4,700mAh battery lasts a lot longer (15:10h vs. 11:52h) and charges faster with its 68W wired and 30W wireless charging (vs. 25W/15W) – it needs only 45 minutes for a full charge, while the Samsung takes twice as long to get to 100%. The Razr Ultra 2025 is equipped with a 50MP 1/1.56” main, 50MP ultra-wide and a 50MP selfie camera.
We promised you bar phones and here they are. You can pick up a Google Pixel 10 for $650, but we’d recommend paying an extra $50 to get double the storage. This uses the same Tensor G5 and the same size 6.3” display as the Pixel 10 Pro (same size, but lower resolution and it’s not an LTPO panel).
The phone combines a 48MP 1/2.0” main with a 13MP ultra-wide and, for the first time on a vanilla Pixel, a dedicated telephoto camera – a 10.8MP 5x/112mm module. The 4,970mAh battery achieves an Active Use Score of 12:08h (disappointing for its size) and supports 30W wired plus 15W wireless charging.
The Nothing Phone (3) is nearly the same price. This one features a larger 6.67” display and a more powerful Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset. It has a 5,150mAh battery with slightly longer 12:56h endurance. It also offers faster 65W wired and 15W wireless charging (1 hour to full vs. 1:32h for the Pixel).
The Nothing Phone (3) has a 50MP main with a large 1/1.3” sensor, a 50MP 3x periscope and a 50MP ultra-wide, plus a 50MP selfie camera.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE is $200 less than the Pixel 10. It also has a larger display, a 6.7” panel, and a 4,900mAh battery with essentially the same endurance (11:57h). The FE has a 50MP main sensor (1/1.57”), an 8MP 3x/75mm telephoto and a 12MP ultra-wide camera.
You should also consider the more capable Pixel Pro models, though they will cost you. The Google Pixel 10 Pro XL has a solid $300 discount, which makes its price more palatable. It features a large 6.8” LTPO display and a 5,200mAh battery that got a 12:29h Active Use Score.
The Pro XL has more capable cameras than the vanilla model too, including a 50MP 1/1.31” main, 48MP 5x/113mm periscope and 48MP ultra-wide, plus a 42MP selfie with an ultra-wide lens.
Unfortunately, the smaller Google Pixel 10 Pro did not get the memo on the new discount, so it costs about the same as the normally pricier Pro XL. It has a 6.3” display (1280p+ LTPO vs. 1080p+ LTPS on the vanilla Pixel 10) and a 4,870mAh battery (12:06h). The cameras are the same as on the Pro XL.
