The Galaxy Z Fold 8 is now available at up to $628 off — but only as an open-box unit in “excellent” condition from Best Buy. The Pixel 11 Pro follows close behind, with select 256GB models discounted nearly $400 off list price in the same channel. Neither device is new: the Fold 8 launched in August 2026, the Pixel 11 Pro in October 2025.
These are clearance-level discounts, not launch pricing, and they’re happening now, during Best Buy’s Techtober Sale, which runs through mid-October. No new foldable or Pixel model has been announced. There is no Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. There is no Pixel 11 Pro Fold.
Those search terms are misfires. And the deals reflect that reality. 9to5Google reported the prices at 3:53 p.m. ET on October 8, 2026. They remain live as of this filing. The Fold 8 discount peaks at $628 for the 512GB variant.
The 256GB drops by $578. Amazon still lists some new units at $350 off, a solid deal, but half the magnitude of what Best Buy offers on refurbished stock. For the Pixel 11 Pro, it’s Canyon and Olive colorways in 256GB that hit the $400 mark. No XL or base Pixel 11 models are cited at that depth.
Samsung’s Tab S12 Ultra and S12+ also launched today. Starting at $1,199.99, but those are tablets, not phones. Nothing’s Headphone (a) is down to $129 shipped on Amazon, a 35% cut from $199. That’s tied for its lowest price ever.
The sale ends when Best Buy says it does. No official cutoff date given. You’ll need to act before inventory runs dry.
