1. $210 under list on the Fold 8 Ultra — and Amazon itself is the seller, not a marketplace shop.
2. No 36-month lock-in: no credits that vanish if you leave, no balance ambush later.
3. Keep any plan you like — a $30/mo cheaper plan beats the carrier credit over 36 months ($1,080).

WHY AT&T, IF YOU GO CARRIER
1. The biggest credit of the three: up to $1,200 — the Fold 8 Ultra lands at about $900 total.
2. That is $100 cheaper than Verizon's best and $990 under the unlocked Amazon price.
3. Only worth it if you already have — or will keep — an AT&T premium plan for the full 36 months.
No trade-in? All three carriers split the full list price (Fold: about $58.33/mo x 36).
The catch: credits are monthly bill discounts — cancel or pay off early and the rest is lost.
Full credit needs a recent flagship trade-in. Plan, tax & activation are extra.

IN SHORT — HOW TO READ THIS TABLE
Chip: all three are top-class — you will not feel a speed difference.
Cameras: the Fold wins on detail, the Pixel wins on distance.
Weight: the Fold is the lightest. Screens: the Fold and Pixel open bigger; the Duo is the newest.
HONEST NOTE
Foldables still crease and cost flagship money to repair. The Duo is a first generation — its preorder shipping was reported slipping into January 2027 (Softonic, Oct 23).
