Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Fold8 and Flip8: Telco deals and price comparison (Updated)
Want one of Samsung’s new folding or flipable smartphones? Here’s what Singtel, StarHub and M1 are offering during this pre-order phase.
**Updated: 24 July 2026 with the telco pricing. This article was first published on 23 July.**
Samsung’s 2026 foldable line-up is now up for pre-order through Singapore’s telcos, and the three operators have taken visibly different routes. Singtel and StarHub both have S$0 device cost on their 5G Unlimited+ Plans. M1 stacks accessories, credit card rebates and membership discounts into a bundle it values at more than S$1,700. Singtel runs on stackable promo codes and tells customers they can make the S$0 decision.
Check out the telco pre-order promos we’ve compiled, but don’t forget to check what you’ll get from Samsung directly on the following story if you’re not getting it through a Telco:-
Before we take a look at what the telcos are offering, here’s what it’ll cost you if you pre-order it from Samsung (the previous year’s pricing is in brackets where applicable):
| Model / Memory + Storage | Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra | Galaxy Z Fold8 | Galaxy Z Flip8 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 16GB+1TB | S$3,698 (S$3,328) | S$3,398 | -- |
| 12GB+512GB | S$3,098 (S$2,878) | S$2,798 | S$1,978 (S$1,828) |
| 12GB+52GB | S$2,798 (S$2,698) | S$2,498 | S$1,678 (S$1,648) |
One perk applies no matter where the phone is bought. Every purchase of the Fold8 Ultra, Fold8 or Flip8 carries six months of Google AI Pro, which bundles expanded AI model access and 5TB of cloud storage, worth S$173.
Singtel’s Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 series offers & price plans
Buying the Galaxy Z smartphone from Singtel.
Singtel’s pitch is arithmetic rather than a single headline number. Its Galaxy Z page tells customers it has stacked up the savings for them, and that upfront phone discounts and port-in savings offset the difference and produce a lower total spend across 24 months, before inviting them to make the S$0 decision. Selected phones are advertised from S$0 with a Singtel plan.
The stackable promo codes include:
- Free memory upgrade to 512GB from 256GB for all three models
- Up to $381 OFF for New/Port-in on UNLIMITED 5G+ Phone Plan with Singtel.
- 10% off Port-in valid till 31 July 2026.
- Up to $150 OFF for recontract upgrade on UNLIMITED 5G+ M Phone plan and above with Singtel.
- Additional up to $80 OFF for New/Port-in on UNLIMITED 5G+ 2 Year Phone Plans or SIM Only Plans with PayLater using Singtel-UOB or UOB credit/debit card.
- Free 6 months and $50 OFF with MobileSwop Plus (12-mth term) sign-up.
- Free 6 months Google AI Pro worth $173.94.
- Up to S$381 off the device for new lines and port-ins
- Complimentary 1 year HBO Max & Viu Premium subscription (worth over $300)
Singtel is also the only one of the three offering POPStation collection alongside in-store pick-up and delivery.

StarHub’s Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 series offers & price plans
Buying the Galaxy Z smartphone from StarHub.
StarHub opened its pre-orders on 23 July 2026 with the line that a Galaxy upgrade just got easier.
StarHub says customers pre-ordering the Fold8 Ultra, Fold8 or Flip8 on its 5G Unlimited+ Plans can experience up to S$1,688 in device savings and up to S$2,880 in DeviceDollars over 36 months to offset interest-free device instalments, bringing the cost of owning the phone down to as low as S$0.
The full list of pre-order perks:
- Up to S$2,880 in DeviceDollars over 36 months to offset interest-free instalments, with payment spread across 12, 24 or 36 months
- Upfront pay later device discounts with 5G Unlimited+ Plans
- Up to S$350 off the device for new lines and port-ins
- A guaranteed S$300 trade-in bonus on top of the device’s base trade-in value
- A complimentary Premier League Annual Pass worth S$380 with the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra or Fold8
- A complimentary storage upgrade to 512GB at the price of 256GB, worth S$300, on 5G Unlimited+ Plus Plans and above
- Three months of complimentary SmartSupport worth S$42.78, which locks in the 50 percent trade-in guarantee on the new foldable
- A six-month Gemini AI Pro subscription
- A S$38 e-voucher for customers who registered their interest
- Watch add-on savings of up to S$250 off the Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and S$100 off the Galaxy Watch9
StarHub’s monthly cost under a 2-year “Buy Now Pay Later’ option
StarHub has two main families of plans: the 5G Unlimited and 5G Platinum plans. Both are no-contract, SIM-only, 5G-enabled plans featuring unlimited local data, talk time, SMS, ScamSafe, and roaming across 165 destinations. The primary difference lies in the tier of service, with Platinum offering higher-tier benefits and more premium device subsidies (and the price you pay).
Further savings will come from the monthly DeviceDollars. StarHub DeviceDollars are monthly, convertible credits ($1 = 1 DeviceDollar) provided to customers on eligible 5G Unlimited+ or 5G Platinum plans. These credits act as a “piggy bank,” accumulating for the length of your payment term (up to 36 months) to reduce upfront costs or offset monthly instalment payments for new phones, tablets, or wearables

How to calculate?
Under StarHub’s “Buy Now Pay Later’ option, the two-year total ownership cost of a Galaxy Z Fold8 1TB using a 5G Unlimited+ Max plan would = 24 months x (Device Cost + Plan Cost - DeviceDollar) = 24 x ($87.08 + $78 - $20) = S$3,481.92.
The Premier League sweetener is worth pausing on. StarHub has that same annual pass at S$380 for non-StarHub customers and S$238 for existing subscribers, so bundling it free with any of the new Fold/Flip models effectively hands buyers a full season of football with the phone, weeks before the 2026/27 campaign kicks off on 21 August.
Buyers eyeing a Galaxy smartwatch should note that only StarHub has published wearable add-on savings, at up to S$250 off the Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and S$100 off the Galaxy Watch9.

We reached out to M1 about its SIM-only plans and they told us:
“SIM-only customers can pre-order now and enjoy savings worth over $1530, including a FREE memory upgrade to 512GB on us. Alternatively, if they wish to purchase a device only, they can enjoy discounts of up to S$338.00 (model-dependent). DBS/POSB and Trust customers will also enjoy an additional S$50.00 when they use their card to pay. “
Who has the best plans for the Galaxy Z Fold8 series?
In the costing examples we’ve calculated above, we chose one device from all three telcos (a Galaxy Z Fold8 1TB) and plans around the $70 per month cost (or the next closest possible option we could find), to ensure parity (where possible). Also note that unless bought under a contracted plan, some telcos take the device cost, deduct the relevant discount and subsidies, divide that by 24 and add it to the original plan cost to reach a new monthly plan cost - such as the M1 Bespoke Flexi plan.

For footie fans & those re-contracting
Based on our parameters, a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 (1TB) from StarHub seems to be the most enticing offer if you’re a soccer fan. The overall outlay over two years is roughly similar across the plans, but it comes with an English Premier League annual pass (worth S$380), unlimited local data and 20GB of roaming worldwide, which makes it hard to pass on. The price reflected does not yet consider further discounts for a new line, so there’s more savings to be had if you’re porting in.
For Entertainment fans & cybersecuity
If you’re signing up for a new line with Singtel, you get 2 years of McAfee mobile security protection and 1 year of HBO and VIU subscriptions. So if you’re the sort looking for the best in entertainment from the East and West, this bundle is for you.
For port-in and new-line customers
If you’re a port-in or new-line customer, the price differences across options are narrower. Even so, M1 keeps it simple and offers the most discount opportunities through Citibank and Safrar partnerships and is also the only one to offer a $250 gift pack containing a LeadJoy Blade Plus wireless gaming controller, Levon foldable Bluetooth keyboard with touchpad and leather stand, and a Levon magnetic phone holder with smart vacuum suction.
