The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 launch Friday, July 25th. That’s soon! Even if you’re not the type of person who usually pre-orders things, there’s good reason to consider doing it before then. The biggest perk is that you’ll get upgraded to the 512GB version of either device without paying the usual $119.99 premium, and trade-in values will be better before the launch versus after. The ability to get more for less expires at the end of tomorrow, July 24th.
As you might expect, each retailer and carrier is doing things a little bit differently with pre-orders. Of all your options, buying directly through Samsung may be the way to go. If you have a trade-in, you can save about half off your new device. If you aren’t trading up, you can instantly get $350 in Samsung credit to buy a Galaxy Watch 8, or something else.
My colleague Allison Johnson recently published her review of the Z Fold 7. Its biggest flaw is just how darn expensive it is, costing $1,999.99 for those who aren’t trading or taking advantage of a carrier promotion. If you can get past that (hopefully, you find a deal that works for you), this is as polished as foldable phones come these days. Stay tuned for her review of the Z Flip 7.
