Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Fold 5 pre-orders

Samsung’s latest foldables are another iterative upgrade over what came before, but that just means that they’re the best foldables Samsung has released to date.

Galaxy Z Flip 5 introduces a new “Flex Window” cover display that’s nearly four times larger than the outer display on Flip 3 and Flip 4. Both devices also get a new hinge that makes Flip 5 and Fold 5 thinner, and Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 can be found under the hood. Flip 5 also now starts at 256GB for the same price, which is always a nice upgrade.

As usual, pre-orders are open immediately, both through Samsung directly as well as through many other retailers. Devices will start shipping August 11, and at that point many of the best deals will be going away.

Samsung’s education discounts make a good deal even better

The best Galaxy Z Flip 5 deal makes the foldable free

By far the best deal on the Galaxy Z Flip 5 is from Samsung.com for education customers. If you buy the foldable as a student, teacher, or education faculty member, you can get the device for free if you play your cards right.

Samsung offers the $999 Galaxy Z Flip 5 with up to $900 in trade-in credit, which can be stacked with two other offers. Firstly, those who reserved a device ahead of Samsung’s launch get a $50 credit that can be applied towards the cost of a Flip, bringing the price down to just $50. But, outside of that, education customers get a 10% discount.

If you’re a student, teacher, or faculty member you can get 10% off of the $999 price, bringing that down to about $900. Then, if you get a maximum trade-in of $900, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 can be entirely free. What devices get that full $900 trade-in? They include:

Galaxy S23 Ultra
Galaxy Z Flip 4
Galaxy Z Fold 4
iPhone 14 Pro Max
Google Pixel Fold

Anything else will end up being lower in value, but it still gets some stellar discounts going.

Beyond that, the same discounts apply with Galaxy Z Fold 5. Samsung is offering up to $1,000 in trade-in on the Fold 5, with 10% off for education customers. Combined, that’s a discount of up to $1,180 and a Fold 5 for as little as $570 if you also stack the $50 reservation credit. What devices get the full $1,000 trade-in credit? Those include:

Galaxy Z Fold 4
Galaxy S23 Ultra
Galaxy S22 Ultra
iPhone 14 Pro Max
iPhone 13 Pro Max
Google Pixel Fold

Both of these deals are absolutely stellar, and available only during pre-orders which end on August 11. The clock is ticking! The same 10% education discount also applies to Galaxy Watch 6 and Watch 6 Classic, as well as the entire Galaxy Tab S9 series for as much as $120 off.

You can only get these education discounts from Samsung.com.
