They can put whatever they want for the normal valueof trade-ins. By by Black Friday you'll be able to turn in a old five and upgrade for $500 . They might not give you trade-in for 1200 but they'll lower the cost of the six. Happens every year.
I got my 5 for 1200+ off at Christmas. ...500 gigs. I bought 3 phones at the time. 23 ultra, iPhone 15 max pro, & zf5. All for DEEEEEEEEP discount. Only paying a couple hundred for each.
I'm upgrading my fold 5 because the fold 6 has an exceptionally better feel from the weight and thinness of the device. Making it feel more like a S24 Ultra that is half the size but turns into a tablet when opened is insane.
Great Jay!!! 🤗❤️🤗❤️🤗❤️ I bought the S24 in January on my T-Mobile account and I'm almost done paying on the broken ZFold 3 only $249.00 left and I still have until next year before my ZFold 4 is paid and my ZFold 4 works great I use it occasionally for various task.

Best Buys trade in on Fold 4 to Fold 5 was crazy low as well, if memory serves. It feels like they don't want to sell/support the Fold. They stopped servicing the Fold in-house recently, too. I was told they stopped due to samsung parts availability and volume of repairs on the Fold. No idea if this is accurate, but it's what I was told 2 weeks ago when I went to have the factory screen protector on the inner screen replaced due to cracking for the 3rd time in a year and a half.
I preordered my flip 6 in crafted black. I have the 24 ultra and I've had the flip 5 but i truly love the flip series and i got to see the fold6 before release and got to play around with it. I do have the fold 4 but i didn't take full use of it like i thought but its worth the switch
I just got a Galaxy Watch 5 about 6 months ago. I may at least get the 7 just because the 5 is kinda sluggish and I would like the performance boost. Not sure if I will get the ultra tho
I ordered the Z Fold 6 in exclusive crafted black 1TB. Giving my Z-fold 5 to my GF and had a Z fold 3 just sitting around collecting dust that I traded in. Prices are to good not too. Was only a little over $900 after discounts.
I took your advice and preordered the Zfold 6 1 TB in the Samsung exclusive white color. Trading in my s24 ultra for $900. Wouldn't ever get that much for it if I sold it now.
Good one, try out new Buds Pro..out of all tech they did drop that ones they did a damn Solid work on..:) Did solid "bump" on fold to and the design itself was worth it to me, and Ultra they did solid on big and bulky. :)
I only got the Z Fold6 due to me still having and trading in my S22 Ultra. I want to try Folds this time. I felt like I needed an upgrade at this time, and I was so close to getting the Fold5. But it would''ve been sorta the same price, only $100 difference with Fold5 being cheaper. But if I had any recent phones, I would definitely not trade in and skip.
If it weren't for the stylus, and the trade-in deal I would get the vivo x fold 3. I agree the software is solid and dialed in. I am upgrading from Z Fold 4.
Idk how people keep sleeping on the value of the Z-Flip line. It's pocketable, the outer display and battery are improved. Best foldable on the market.
They still havent convinced me as a power user to switch to a fold device. I love the S24 Ultra as someone who will not carry more than 1 device there is just too many downsides. Here in the US there is no fold competition. Its sad, very little improvement year to year again.
@aalamoudi3376 I don't care for iPhones. I know everyone has one, but I like different, and the zfold is awesome to me, especially since i read a lot of books on my device with Kindle. It's a tablet and phone. ☺️
The depreciation of your phone compared to what Samsung is offering for you to trade up to it is way worth it. That’s if your phone is in good condition. If I were you and had a good phone to trade in, I would.
It's tempting, and the Z Fold6 looks quite striking now (especially if it comes in black). I know that even if I hold off in favor of the S25 Ultra, I'd still have to upgrade to the Buds3 & Watch7 family (my Buds Live and Watch3 are obviously woefully outdated since they were meant to go with the S20 family)...which sucks. Still...given Samsung's current practices concerning the S Pen (*WHEN DID THEY STOP INCLUDING OR OFFERING REPLACEMENT TIPS!?* This nonsensical change had to have hit during the Note9 days bare minimum, as I was able to get replacement S Pen tips easily when I had my Note8!!)...yeeeaaah, switching is tempting, though, even if my S22 Ultra, Buds Live, and Watch3 are literally completely worthless now.
the fold 6 is a pretty big upgrade for Fold 4 owners actually. New hinge, larger outerscreen, more durable, thinner, better processor, better cameras etc...
You know what....you have won me over sir. I have a Fold 4 they gave me 1,000.00 for in addition to another 100.00 I got off from Jeff Springers website. I couldnt resist anymore. Why not? My Fold 4 has been replaced twice with Samsung Care and I do believe the 6 will be a more incrimental upgrade from the 4 than the 5
In Canada the promo deals are crap. .$1000 for my 1TB fold 5 which cost $3200 tax in less than 12 mos ago. Ridiculous. And the fold 6 1tb price is $3044 plus 13% tax definitely not even close to being worth it for a slighty wider screen and same crap cameras. They are offering 1200 for my 1tb s24 ultra....again ridiculous. You guys in the US are spoiled lol
Best Buy is smoking! I find myself not doing much business with them any longer because they are not really competitive with anything. Although, they do price match.

I pre ordered mine in Craft black!
Trade in deals are crazy good
They are the same as last year they raise the price $200 and give you the $200 extra trade in the Fold. And they are far worse for the Flip.
Woo! Crazy good for last years phone with the most minor of spec bumps! Like, worse than an apple spec bump.
S24U for 900$? That's good? Thanks I'm good
