This story was updated on March 8th with new Galaxy S25 Ultra sale details.
Samsung wouldn’t let the iPhone 16e steal the spotlight for too long. A week after the new Apple handset went on sale, The Korean tech giant has slashed the price of the Galaxy Z Flip 6.
The deal knocks $120 off the 512Gb option (the 256GB appears to be sold out), which brings the final price down to $1,099.99. This discount is combined with up to $700 trade-in for your old phone. The company has also discounted the Galaxy Ring by $100 and the Galaxy Watch 7 by $132 if they’re bought with the foldable phone.
The real deal here is the straight $120 off, which goes up to $270 if you don’t have a phone to trade in. I suspect we will start to see similar and bigger discounts for the Galaxy Fold 6 and Flip 6 as we edge closer to the summer when their successors will be launched.
For the trade-in portion of this deal, that headline $700 figure is reserved for the Galaxy S24 Ultra, which isn’t a good swap to make because the device is still new. If, however, you own a Galaxy Z Flip 4, Samsung will pay $550 for it. Even better, the Korean company values the 2021 Galaxy Z Flip 3 at $400—far more than you’d get on the secondary market. Here is a selection of the best prices I could find.
- Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra – $500
- Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 – $400
- Samsung Galaxy Z Flip – $200
- Apple iPhone 13 Pro – $340
- Any Google phone – $200
More Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 Deals
If you’re in the U.K., Samsung has an even better deal on the Galaxy Z Flip 6 by knocking £150 ($193.77) off the foldable phone. That can be stacked with an extra 5%-off discount code (“APP5”) when bought in the Samsung Shop app.
The bigger discounts for British buyers are balanced by poor Samsung U.K. trade-in pricing, which does not match up to American valuations. For example, the Korean company will only pay £113 ($145) for the Z Flip 3 compared to the U.S. store’s $400 price.
It’s not clear why there’s such a stark difference in trade-in valuations between both territories, but I have seen Samsung shoppers in other European countries complain about similar low trade-in pricing.
Samsung’s strategy for the U.K. focuses on major giveaways, such as free tablets and Chromebooks. While Samsung U.S. will has previously offered hundreds of dollars off years-old phones. For savvy American shoppers, it’s worth hunting on eBay for an ultra-cheap phone that can be used as a trade-in chip for the Korean company’s next major sale. Check out my guide here.
Update March 8th: Alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 6 price cut, Samsung has also launched a major discount for the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The company will knock $300 off the flagship if you don’t have a phone to trade in and buy the pink, black or green colors. If you pickup the grey, blue or lighter black options shoppers will receive a $200 discount.
Trade-in prices have been temporarily boosted, too. The most Samsung will pay is $900 for the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy S24 Ultra. As always, these deals should be ignored because they’re not realistic phones to swap. Better devices to consider include the Galaxy S22 Ultra ($600), the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ($600).
You will notice that these figures are different to the trade-in valuations when buying the Z Flip 6. That is because Samsung adjusts them depending on how expensive the device on sale is. The absolute best pricing you’ll get for your old phone is when buying the Galaxy Z Fold 6, Samsung’s dearest handset.
