Best Galaxy Z Fold 5 deals
There are a number of benefits that come with ordering your new Z Fold 5 from Samsung directly, including access to exclusive colors. That said, there are sadly no direct discounts, but you can get up to $1,000 worth of trade-in credits. The biggest trade-in credits will come from the latest Apple and Samsung phones, netting you the biggest discount. And even old and damaged phones will still net you a minimum discount of $200.
Samsung also accepts select tablets and smartwatches for trade-in for a smaller discount.
Samsung is also offering a 15% student discount.
Amazon is one of the only places offering straightforward discounts on unlocked models of the Z Fold 5 at the moment.

Just note that Amazon is not carrying any of the 1TB models at the moment.

AT&T even accepts old and damaged devices, so you may be surprised at what you can get for the cracked phone collecting dust in your drawer. The discount is applied as bill credits over 36 months and drops the price for the Z Fold 5 down to just $22.23 per month.
Verizon customers adding a new line of service can save up to $1,000 with an eligible trade-in.
