Samsung is gearing up to launch the Galaxy Z Fold 7 later this summer, and in the meantime, it's slashing prices on the current Galaxy Z Fold 6 in a major new sale. The move mirrors what the company did with the Galaxy S25 Ultra before the release of the S25 Edge.

This story was updated on May 17th with the latest Galaxy Z Fold 6 deal details.

Major Savings on the Galaxy Z Fold 6

The new deal closely resembles last week’s Galaxy S25 Ultra promotion and includes a mix of direct discounts, generous trade-in offers, accessory bundles, and free subscriptions.

Here’s what you get when buying directly from Samsung:

  • Up to $1,000 in trade-in credit (details below)

  • $350 off without a trade-in

  • $259 off a two-year Samsung Care Plus plan (now $149.99/year)

  • Accessory discounts:

    • 20% off the Galaxy Watch 7

    • 44% off the Galaxy Buds3 Pro

    • 37% off the Galaxy Watch Ultra

While the $250 off no-trade-in deal on the S25 Ultra was a standout, the Fold 6 offer shines more for its aggressive trade-in values—especially for older Samsung flagships.

Top Trade-In Offers (Samsung)

  • Galaxy Z Fold 3 – $800

  • Galaxy S22 Ultra – $600

  • Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G – $600

Notably, Samsung offers far less for Apple devices. For example, the iPhone 12 Pro Max released the same year as the Note 20 Ultra only fetches $300, half the value of its Samsung counterpart. That said, savvy shoppers can still take advantage: the Note 20 Ultra can be found on eBay for under $250, potentially yielding a $600 trade-in credit if it’s in good condition.

Free Subscriptions Are Back

Samsung has also revived its free subscription offers last seen in its 2023 UK “Boost” program.

This time around, the perks are more modest but still valuable, especially for content and productivity on the Fold 6’s expansive screen:

  • 3 months of Peacock Premium

  • 6 months of SiriusXM

  • 2 months of Adobe Lightroom

  • 50% off LumaFusion Storyblocks subscription

  • 30-day free trial of ArcSite

While not as generous as the free Disney+ offer of the past, the current freebies still enhance the Fold 6 experience.

Amazon Joins the Discount Battle

Not to be outdone, Amazon is offering its own Galaxy Z Fold 6 deal, matching Samsung’s $350 no-trade-in discount, bringing the final price to $1,699.99.

While Amazon typically lags behind in trade-in value, this sale offers better-than-usual valuations for used devices though still below Samsung’s offers:

Sample Trade-In Values (Amazon vs Samsung)

  • Galaxy S22 Ultra – Amazon: $220 | Samsung: $600

  • iPhone 13 Pro Max – Amazon: $290 | Samsung: $400

One advantage: Amazon’s trade-in system is flexible. You can trade in multiple devices, receive a voucher, and then apply it to the Fold 6 purchase. This system allows for stacked savings, though the process can be a bit roundabout.

Final Thoughts

With the Galaxy Z Fold 7 expected soon likely featuring a better screen and a more powerful processor Samsung’s aggressive promotion for the Fold 6 offers a compelling reason to buy now, especially if you have an older Samsung flagship to trade in.
