If you want to purchase a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5, Samsung.com is the best place to grab one. The company has a few excellent deals, including up to $1,000 enhanced trade-in value for specific phones. That’s a lot of extra money and could cover more than half the purchase price of the expensive Z Fold 5.

The wait is over! You can pre-order the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 right now. Doing so directly through Samsung will net you massive trade-in credit bonuses and awesome free storage upgrades.

Of course, not every phone is eligible for the giant trade-in credit. You’ll need a reasonably current model, such as a Galaxy Z Fold 4, Galaxy Z Flip 4, Galaxy S23 Ultra, or Galaxy S22 Ultra. However, it’s not limited to just Samsung phones because the company offers $1,000 on iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 13 Pro Max, and Google Pixel Fold. Other phones are worth $800 or $900, too, so there’s lots of good trade credit to be had. If your phone has a cracked screen, Samsung only takes $200 off the value, so even broken phones are worth good money.

Samsung is also offering some fantastic deals on storage upgrades with a pre-order. First, you can get the 512GB model at the price of a 256GB version. And if you need lots of space, you can take $150 off the cost of the 1TB model.

Finally, students get 15% off the Galaxy Z Fold 5, the most extensive education discount Samsung has ever offered.

Why should you get the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5?

The Galaxy Z Fold 5 is the kind of phone you show off to your friends and watch their jaws hit the floor. The massive 7.6-inch internal screen is almost like having a small tablet in your pocket at all times. And that doesn’t take away from the full functionality the 6.2-inch external display offers. Add the great 50MP primary camera and its supporting cast, and it’s easy to see why this is such a beloved phone.
