Big Smartphone Discounts: Samsung Foldables, iPhone 17 Pro, Pixel 10 & Motorola Edge 70

If you’ve been eyeing the latest high‑end phones, now might be the perfect moment to actually click ‘buy’. Across the UK, several flagship models – from Samsung’s foldable marvels to Apple’s shiny iPhone 17 Pro series – have just received noticeable price cuts, and the deals are being heavily promoted on Amazon UK.

Let’s start with Samsung. The Galaxy Z Fold8 and its larger sibling, the Z Fold8 Ultra, became available for pre‑order last week, and the official sale kicks off on August 3. What’s really nice (and a bit surprising) is that a £100 voucher can be applied to the listed prices, shaving off a nice chunk of the cost.

After the voucher, the 12 GB/256 GB version of the Z Fold8 sits at £1,599, while the beefier 12 GB/512 GB model is £1,769. The Z Fold8 Ultra, which only ships with 12 GB/256 GB of storage, drops to £1,799. Not shabby for a phone that folds out into a 7.6‑inch tablet‑like display.

Alongside the foldables, Samsung’s latest smartwatches are also up for pre‑order, but the real headline‑grabbers remain the Z series. If you’re already a fan of Samsung’s ecosystem, the voucher makes the upgrade feel a little less painful on the wallet.

Switching over to Apple, the iPhone 17 Pro lineup has joined the sale roster. Discounts are a bit more selective here – only certain storage capacities and colour choices enjoy the price drop. The 256 GB iPhone 17 Pro Max in Deep Blue is £65 cheaper, landing at £1,134. Meanwhile, the 512 GB and 1 TB versions of the iPhone 17 Pro can be saved up to £150, costing £1,199 and £1,349 respectively.

Apple’s pricing strategy feels like a gentle nudge toward the 512 GB model – enough storage for most power users without paying the full premium. If you’ve been debating whether to go for the Pro Max or stick with the regular Pro, the discount might tip the scales.

Google isn’t left out of the bargain bin either. The Pixel 10 Pro gets a solid £300 off, bringing the 12 GB/128 GB variant down to £699. Its more budget‑friendly sibling, the Pixel 10a, sees up to £150 off, with the 128 GB model at £399 and the 256 GB version at £449. Both phones run on Google’s in‑house Tensor chips – the Pro uses the newer Tensor G5, while the a‑model sticks with Tensor G4 – and sport capable camera setups, making them compelling alternatives to the pricier flagships.

Lastly, Motorola’s Edge 70 has been sliced by £200, now priced at £499 for the 12 GB/512 GB configuration. The Edge 70 packs a 6.7‑inch AMOLED screen, Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset and a decent 4,800 mAh battery, plus a 50 MP front‑camera for those selfie‑heavy days.

All of these deals are listed on Amazon UK, and while the article notes that GSMArena may earn a commission from qualifying sales, the discounts themselves are genuine and can be verified on the retailer’s site. If you’re in the market for a new flagship – whether you want a folding screen, the polished iOS experience, clean Android, or a solid mid‑range device – the current sale period offers something worth a closer look.

Remember, the voucher for Samsung devices is only valid for a limited time, and Apple’s colour‑specific discounts could disappear once stock runs out. So, if any of these phones caught your eye, it’s probably wise to act sooner rather than later.
