Here’s how Samsung breaks down the ‘$1,500 savings’ on the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6

Samsung opened pre-orders for the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 last week and teased that interested buyers could save up to $1,500. But surely this is too good to be true, right? Well, we have a better idea of ​​what it looks like now.

If you go to Samsung’s website right now, you can make a free reservation for one of Samsung’s new devices, whether it’s the Galaxy Z Fold 6, Flip 6, or even another device like the Watch 7 or Watch Ultra. That reservation automatically gives you a $50 credit with your pre-order, but it also unlocks some additional savings.

Samsung teased that Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 pre-orders will qualify for up to $1,500 in savings, a bold claim to say the least.

In an email sent to some customers, Samsung sheds some light on how it breaks down.

It starts with the aforementioned $50 back-up credit, which is available exclusively until July 10th. There’s no obligation if you make a reservation and don’t later order a device, and you’re entered into a $5,000 sweepstakes either way.

From there, Samsung will likely revive its dual storage offering. That means you’ll get double the storage on whichever model you buy. Samsung says that’s worth up to $240 in savings. Another deal being revived is a free year of Samsung Care+, worth up to $156 (after the recent price increase).

So far, it reaches $446.

The rest of the “up to $1,500 in savings” comes, of course, from trade-in offers.

Samsung says it will offer up to $1,200 in trade-in value (probably just for the Fold 6). That’s only likely for very recent releases like the Fold 5 and Galaxy S24 Ultra, but it’s the highest we’ve seen since some Galaxy Z Fold 3 2022 promotions.

The email reads in part:

Book now. Save it for later.

• Reserve your $50 credit to use during your pre-order.
• Then, save up to $1,200 with eligible trade-ins to use when you pre-order.
• Get double the storage on us (up to $240 value).
• Plus, get your first 12 months of Samsung Care+ free with select carriers (value up to $156).

All told, that could actually exceed $1,500 in “savings,” but realistically, the trade-in and reserve credit are the only actual money you’ll see taken off the price of the foldable. Anything else is more perk than real savings. Still, after a few years of mediocre offerings, it all sounds pretty good.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 are set to launch on July 10.
