The story
If you missed the release promotions for the recent round of Samsung Galaxy phones, you’re in luck. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is $300 off at Best Buy, the best deal we’ve seen since the phone launched last month. The phone impressed us with its rear triple camera setup, excellent battery life, and slim, refined design, but the price held it back from true greatness. That’s helped by the discount, which brings the price down to $1,799.99 for the 256GB model.
The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra received a number of improvements over the previous generation’s Z Fold 7, including brighter interior and exterior screens, sharper cameras, and faster charging. The improved hinge design should be more durable, although it didn’t quite hold up to JerryRigEverything’s rigorous testing, and the IP48 water and dust resistance is lower than other folding phones like the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. The larger battery, up to 5,000mAh from the Z Fold 7’s 4,400mAh, helps the device last a full day on a single charge.

Other deals to consider
- The Remarkable Paper Pro Move note-taking tablet is on sale for $469 at Best Buy, $100 off its usual price. This 7.3-inch tablet can run for up to two weeks on a single charge, with a multi-color screen for highlighting important text, calling attention to specific notes, or just making your doodles more engaging.
- Amazon and Insta360 have the Insta360 X5 discounted to $464.99, an $85 discount from the typical price. The X5 captures video at 120fps in 4K, and surprised us with its excellent image quality, particularly in low light. There are still some improvements to be made, particularly around software and weight, but the discount makes it a great choice for a first 360-degree camera. Read our review.
- If you’re like me and missed The Mandalorian and Grogu movie in theaters, the 4K Blu-Ray is $24.77 at Amazon, about five dollars lower than its usual price. While my colleague Charles Pulliam-Moore felt the story might have been better told as another season of the show, as an avid Star Wars fan, I would still like to see the baby. Read our review.

Christian Perspective
The pursuit of constant technological upgrades reflects a culture of materialism that distracts from eternal truths. While tools can be used for good, the drive for the latest gadget often fuels vanity and unnecessary debt.
Implications
The rapid cycle of consumerism encourages a lifestyle of disposability rather than stewardship. This focus on fleeting digital trends can erode the stability of the traditional family unit by prioritizing screen time over real-world connection.
Broader Trends
Globalist consumerism promotes a culture of instant gratification that weakens national character. This constant push for novelty is part of a larger cultural shift toward decadence and away from the disciplined, productive life required for a strong nation.
Takeaway
Prioritize stewardship of resources over the impulse to follow every new tech trend. Use technology as a tool for building the nation and strengthening the family rather than a master of your time and finances.
