Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 Deals: $150 Off Unlocked Models, Free With Trade-In and More
We've rounded up tons of great offers to help you snag the best foldable phone on the market for less.
Though brands including Google and OnePlus have their own new foldables, Samsung's Z Flip 5 is still our favorite model on the market. It's already relatively affordable with a $1,000 starting price, and there are plenty of deals to help you snag one for even less. Select retailers such as Amazon and Best Buy are offering over $100 off unlocked models, and you can save even more -- or even get your hands on one for free -- with a trade-in or a new line at a major carrier. To help you take full advantage of these offers, we've detailed some of the best Z Flip 5 deals below.
The Galaxy Z Flip 5 is one of the hottest devices in mobile tech right now, and it's a great buy even at full price. With a fast Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, a larger 3.4-inch outer display and a 6.7-inch foldable inner display, you're going to get a lot of phone for your money -- and a notable upgrade over the older Galaxy Z Flip 4.
What colors does the Galaxy Z Flip 5 come in?
The Galaxy Z Flip 5 comes in a ton of colors, although some are Samsung-exclusive. Every retailer should offer graphite, lavender, cream and mint. But those looking to pick up a new Galaxy Z Flip 5 in gray, blue, green or yellow have to buy directly from Samsung.
How much does the Galaxy Z Flip 5 cost?
The starting prices for the Galaxy Z Flip 5 in the US, before any trade-ins or discounts, are as follows:
- Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 (256GB): $1,000
- Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 (512GB): $1,120
Best Galaxy Z Flip 5 deals
Samsung hasn't dropped its starting price on the Z Flip 5, but it is offering a free storage upgrade, which saves you $120 on the step-up 512GB model. Plus, you can save up to $600 when you trade in your old phone. Recent models from Apple, Samsung and Google will net you the biggest discount, but even old phones will score you at least $200 in savings.
Carriers are also offering extra savings when you purchase your new phone through Samsung. AT&T customers will save up to $1,000 with an eligible trade-in and purchase on an installment plan, while Verizon customers will save up to $800 with a trade-in (as long as you have or switch to an eligible unlimited plan). T-Mobile customers can save $1,000 with a new line, no trade-in required.
Samsung is also offering some additional savings on other devices when bundled with this purchase, including $114 off a Galaxy Watch 6 and $130 off a pair of Galaxy Buds 2 Pro.
You can save $150 on all unlocked configurations of the Z Flip 5 right now at Best Buy, which drops the 256GB model to $850 and the 512GB model to $970. Plus, this deal also comes with a $50 Best Buy e-gift card. You can save even more if you have an old phone to trade in. Verizon customers will get enhanced trade-in credit, which can save you up to $1,000 as long as you have, or switch to, an eligible unlimited plan.
Like Best Buy, Amazon is offering $150 off all configurations of the Z Flip 5, which drops the starting price to $850. Amazon also has its own trade-in program that lets you save up to $401 in exchange for your old phone.
If T-Mobile is your carrier of choice, there are four options:
- Trade in your old phone and have or switch to a Go5G Next or Go5G Plus plan and get your new foldable for free.
- Add a new line on a Go5G Next or Go5G Plus plan and get the phone for free.
- Save $600 when you add a new line on a different qualifying service plan.
- Just trade in your old phone and save up to $350 if you have a Go5G plan, or up to $200 if you're on a different qualifying service plan.
You can get the new Galaxy Z Flip 5 free when you purchase it on an installment plan and trade in an eligible phone. You'll get the full discount for any device valued at just $95 or more, and even old and damaged devices worth at least $35 will net you $800 in trade-in credit. The discount will be applied as bill credits over 36 months.
You can also score a free Galaxy Watch 6 with the purchase, but you'll need a new line of service for the smartwatch as well. Just add both items to your cart to get the discount.
New and existing customers can score some Z Flip 5 savings at Verizon. If you're adding a new line of service on a qualifying 5G unlimited plan, you can save up to $1,000 with an eligible trade-in, which scores you the basic 256GB model for free. If you're an existing Verizon customer who qualifies for an upgrade, you can still save up to $800 with just a trade-in.
Verizon is also offering some other bonuses, including $350 off a Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 and a free Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE 5G, though you'll need a new line of service for these devices. New Verizon customers will get a $200 gift card when they switch over their existing number from another carrier. And if you need more than one new Z Flip 5, you can buy one and save $800 on another.
