Samsung really wants you to buy the Galaxy Z Fold 7. It started with repeated teasers, that virtually gave everything away,<\/a> and ended with a spate of pre-order discounts, including a 24-hour flash giveaway<\/a>, that totals $963.17.<\/p>\n This story was updated on July 17th with new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 pre-order details. <\/p>\n As it stands, the Korean company is running seven (get it?) different promotions for its Galaxy Z Fold 7, alongside a new double trade-in deal I haven\u2019t seen before (more on that below). Here\u2019s what is on offer.<\/p>\n ForbesSamsung Makes New Free Offer To Millions Of Galaxy Phones And TabletsBy Janhoi McGregor<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a350 ($50 in the U.S. too) discount if you\u2019re registered for marketing emails from Samsung. Most of these offers expire on July 24th, except the long-running “APP5” code, and the free pair of Galaxy Buds voucher, which ends today (July 15th) at midnight. Considering Samsung continued to offer freebies and discounts weeks after the Galaxy S25 Edge released<\/a>, I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if more were on the way for the Fold 7.<\/p>\n These promotions and freebies, before a trade-in is included, total \u00a3718.95 ($963.17). A solid deal that almost makes buying the phone in the pre-order period worth it. Especially the double trade-in deal, which is one of the more eye-catching offers.<\/p>\n ForbesSamsung Suddenly Raises Trade-In Prices In Rare New OfferBy Janhoi McGregor<\/a><\/p>\n In essence, Samsung will pay \u00a3200 for \u201cany tablet in any condition\u201d on top of your used-smartphone trade-in. The Korean company previously told me that it will honor that promise of accepting any device, and the small print doesn\u2019t have any glaring caveats to it. The 100 day try before you buy period, too, is very enticing.<\/p>\n Samsung Has More Galaxy Z Fold 7 Discounts Up Its Sleeve<\/p>\n But, as you will know if you read my deals stories (don\u2019t miss any by hitting the follow button below), this is the worst time to buy a smartphone. Like cars, smartphones depreciate rapidly and the pre-order period is when the device is at its most expensive.<\/p>\n Samsung will almost certainly discount the Galaxy Z Fold 7 again. A good cue is the Galaxy S25 Edge, which was bundled with the Galaxy Tab A9 Plus <\/a>a month after the phone launched. Also, a Galaxy Z Fold 6 deal in May knocked a straight $350 off the device<\/a>, which, to me, is the gold standard in deals because the actual price of the handset is lower. Freebies and incentives are great, but minimising the dent in your wallet is far more important.<\/p>\n Trade-in prices, too, were better a month ago<\/a>. In June Samsung valued the Galaxy S23 Plus at \u00a3333 ($446.08), but now it\u2019s only worth \u00a3257 ($344.27). The Galaxy S23 Ultra was priced at \u00a3449 ($601.47), now it\u2019s valued at \u00a3386 ($517.07). It\u2019s not all bad news, last month Samsung paid \u00a3230 ($308.10) for the Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max, that valuation has now shot up to \u00a3345 ($462.15).<\/p>\n If you\u2019re not in a hurry to buy the Galaxy Z Fold 7, I\u2019d say it\u2019s worth waiting to see what discounts Samsung has up its sleeve for next month.<\/p>\n Update July 17th: It\u2019s clear that the U.K.\u2019s Galaxy Z Fold 7 pre-order deal is superior to the Samsung U.S. offer. American buyers get the double storage deal and the $50 credit if they registered their interest before the device was announced. But there doesn\u2019t appear to be any of the associated vouchers, such as the \u201cPAYPAL\u201d or \u201cBUDS\u201d codes that British shoppers can use. Nor does the 100 day try-before-you-buy promise apply in the U.S.<\/p>\n Instead, U.S. shoppers can get $300 store credit\u2014after buying the Fold 7\u2014if they don\u2019t have a device to trade-in. That $300 can\u2019t be used on the phone itself, rather Samsung is pushing customers towards the $499 Watch 8 Classic or $649 Galaxy Watch Ultra.<\/p>\n There\u2019s also the same double storage deal mentioned above, which saves $120. It\u2019s not clear why Samsung U.K. has better deals for its tech, perhaps the market is more competitive on this side of the pond, but it has been trending this way for a few months. The starkest example of that is Samsung U.K.\u2019s suddenly high trade-in prices<\/a> that far outstripped U.S. trade-in valuations last month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 smartphone is displayed at a Samsung store in Seoul on July 10, 2025.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5006,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[59,3038,3037,3041,3042,3039,3036,3040,3034,3033,3035,86,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-5005","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-gb","tag-samsung-financing","tag-samsung-foldable-phone","tag-samsung-galaxy-phones-list-with-price","tag-samsung-galaxy-s25-ultra-battery-life","tag-samsung-galaxy-tab-s9-fe","tag-samsung-galaxy-z-fold-7","tag-samsung-galaxy-z-fold-7-release-date","tag-samsung-messages-app","tag-samsung-phone-repair-near-me","tag-samsung-phones-2025","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5005","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5005"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5005\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5006"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5005"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5005"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5005"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
