Not only are there exclusive colors offered when you buy directly from Samsung, there are some instant trade-in deals that bring the price of the Z Fold 5 down in a hurry. First of all, right now the 256GB and 512GB models get an instant savings of $120, and the 1TB is $200 less than the regular retail price.
On top of that, you can get up to $750 in instant trade-in credit. The latest Apple and Samsung phones will net you the most credit. If you’re trading the ZFold 4 in and it’s in good condition, you’ll likely save around $600, but even old and damaged phones will still net you a minimum discount of $300. Samsung also accepts select tablets and smartwatches for trade-in for a smaller discount.
Samsung also has some carrier deals worth considering if you prefer not to get an unlocked model. Note that carrier models don’t include the 1TB configuration. T-Mobile customers can get up to $500 off with trade-in on a Magenta, One, or Go5G plan. Verizon customers with a valid trade-in on an Ultimate, Get, or One Unlimited plan can get up to $800 off. Those on Plus, Do or Play Unlimited can get up to $400 off with trade-in. And Welcome Unlimited customers can still save up to $200 with trade-in.
Samsung offers a 30% discount to students, educators, first responders and US government employees.
