Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 has officially dropped to its lowest price in the UAE market this week, creating a strategic window for smartphone buyers. With Galaxy S26 Ultra now confirmed for a global launch on 25 February 2026, retailers such as Noon and Amazon AE have slashed Fold7 prices to as low as AED 5,199. This shift comes as a surprise to many, as component shortages were expected to keep flagship prices high throughout the start of the year.
Retailers are clearing out stock to prepare for the S26 Ultra. Equipped with the new privacy screen technology, this new phone will likely be a more expensive product than its predecessors. By lowering the Fold7 price now, shops can target people who want a premium phone but are unwilling to pay the original launch price.
While the 256GB Jet Black model is availble at a massive discount, buyers must be careful when shopping online as some cheap models are being sold as ‘International Versions.’ These fakes do not come with a local UAE warranty. The authentic ‘UAE Version’ includes Samsung Care+ and easy payment plans from local banks.
Samsung Gulf has updated its trade-in program for 2026. You can now get up to AED 3,000 for your old phone. This program even applies to phones with cracked or broken screens.
If you trade in an old Galaxy S23 or S24, the Fold7 could cost you less than AED 2,500. This is a much better deal than waiting for the S26 Ultra. Most new launch deals do not offer this level of price cut for broken devices. This makes the Galaxy Fold7 the smartest choice for people on a budget who still want a fancy screen.
The S26 Ultra will be a powerful phone, but it will be expensive. For the next few weeks, the Z Fold7 will be the best value smartphone in the UAE. The cost of phone parts are rising globally, so these deals might not last long. If you want a larger screen with impressive performance for a fair price, now is the time to buy.
