The phone has an 8-inch display when folded open and a 6.5-inch front display. The screen is a Dynamic AMOLED with a 120Hz refresh rate. It also has a 5,000mAh battery and a triple rear camera setup with ultra-wide, wide, and telephoto lenses.

Galaxy Watch9 features

The Galaxy Watch9 tracks health metrics like heart rate and sleep quality. It is 8.6mm thick and has a 390mAh battery that lasts a full day.

Shoppers looking for alternatives can consider the Google Pixel 10a, reduced on Amazon from £499 to £369. It offers up to 30 hours of battery life, runs the latest Android software, and has 128GB of internal storage. A refurbished iPhone 14 is also available on Wowcher, reduced from £399 to £239, with 128GB of storage in 'fair condition'.

Customer reviews

Customers who bought the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra from Argos praised its design and performance. One wrote: "Best Samsung phone in a while, both design, feel in hand, display and how fast it responds." Another said: "Still getting used to it but so far so good as with all my previous Samsung phones. Upgraded from the S24 Ultra and I'm already finding this much more user-friendly. Highly recommend."

A third customer noted: "The sheer lightweight slim design of the phone is impressive, I thought it would be bulky however it is perfect. Once the screen is opened I can use multiple apps simultaneously. The battery life is perfect for my day to day activities. Simply amazed."

However, some reviewers were less satisfied. One wrote: "I'm not liking it as much as my Samsung Galaxy fold 6, it's very difficult to set it up the way I would like, I can't set my apps the way I like and too many are using split screen, I can't configure the settings how I would like." Another added: "Great phone and would be 5 stars but honestly the camera jutting out and making it wobble when at rest either in fold or in normal mode is really frustrating."

The free Watch9 offer is available only until August 26, so interested shoppers need to order the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra before then.
