Samsung is currently offering a substantial discount on its Galaxy Z Fold 5, reducing the base price to $1,650 for the 256GB model, $1,799 for the 512GB variant, and maintaining the original price of $2,160 for the 1TB version. Notably, Samsung is providing an enhanced trade-in credit of up to $1,000 for certain devices, making the Galaxy Z Fold 5 more accessible.
The boosted trade-in credit applies to various Samsung devices, including the Galaxy Z Fold 4 (review), Fold 3 (review), and S23 series, providing users with a significant return value. Additionally, newer iPhones, such as the iPhone 13 Pro Max, can fetch a $1,000 credit. Samsung’s preferential treatment for its own devices is evident in the higher trade-in values compared to other brands.
The trade-in values during this promotion offer considerable returns, especially for owners of older Galaxy Z Fold 3 or Z Fold 2 (review) devices who may be considering an upgrade — The Galaxy Z Fold 2, in particular, is approaching the end of its Android update cycle, further incentivizing users to explore the latest model.
While Samsung’s general trade-in values outside of promotional events are criticized as being low, the boosted credits during this sale provide favorable valuations for the specified devices. The Galaxy Z Fold 5 can be obtained for as low as $650 with the maximum $1,000 trade-in credit, presenting an enticing deal for those looking to upgrade.
It’s important to note that this special pricing for the Galaxy Z Fold 5 is expected to be valid only for a limited time, with the base price rising to $799 tomorrow, accompanied by a $100 e-certificate and storage upgrade offer. The enhanced trade-in credit values, however, will persist until December 17, extending the opportunity for users to capitalize on higher returns for their eligible devices.
Samsung is also extending discounts and trade-in credits to other devices, such as the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and the Galaxy S23 Ultra, both featuring raised credits on trade-ins. These flash deals will be available until December 17, except for the Galaxy Z Fold 5’s lowest price, which is valid only for today.
The $1,000 trade-in boost makes this promotion particularly attractive for those seeking to upgrade to one of the top-performing foldable devices currently available.
