Best Galaxy Z Flip 5 deals
Samsung isn’t offering any direct discounts on its latest Z Flip 5 at the moment, but 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 $200 with a trade-in (as long as you have or switch to an eligible unlimited plan). And T-Mobile customers can save $600 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 $100 on all unlocked configurations of the Z Flip 5 right now at Best Buy, which drops the 256GB model to $900, and the 512GB model down to $1,020. And you can save even more if you have an old phone to trade-in. Though Best Buy claims that trade-ins will net you as much as $450, you can actually save up to $525, with the latest iPhones scoring you the biggest discount.
And there are some extra savings available for Verizon customers. You’ll save $150 with same-day activation, and you can save up to $1,000 with an eligible trade-in as long as you have, or switch to, an eligible unlimited plan.
Like Best Buy, Amazon is currently offering at least $100 off all configurations of the Z Flip 5 right now, which drops the starting price to $900. And there are some extra savings available on the cream color variant of the 512GB model, which you can pick up for $950 — $170 off the usual price.
You can also bundle them with a pair of Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, which saves you an extra $50 compared to buying them separately.

There are basically four options available here:
- 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 Go5G Next or Go5G Plus plan and get the phone for free.
- Save $600 off when you add a new line on a different qualifying service plan.
- Just trade your old phone in 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 for 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 still net you $800 in trade-in credit. The discount will be applied as bill credits over 36 months.
Both 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. Or, 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 $400 off a Google Pixel Watch 2, $170 off a Samsung Galaxy Watch and $550 off a Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE 5G, though you’ll need a new line of service for these devices as well. And new Verizon customers will get a free $200 gift card when they switch their existing number over from another carrier.
