How to buy the Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Z Fold 4 right now

Foldable phones are no longer a strange new concept — now they’re just a type of smartphone we see released every year. But just because they’re becoming commonplace in release schedules doesn’t mean they’re common in everyday life. This may be your chance to change that for yourself. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 are now available, and while neither is a massive change from the previous generation of foldable smartphones, they’re both still great-looking and powerful phones that are truly next-generation.

The Galaxy Z devices are expensive, but they don’t have to be if you grab the right bonuses. Samsung is offering up to $1,000 off the Galaxy Z Fold 4 when you trade-in. Trading in will get you $900 off the Galaxy Z Flip 4.

The 512GB model of the Z Flip 4 and the 1TB model of the Z Fold 4 are both Samsung exclusives for now, so this is the only place you can easily grab them.

You’ll need to sign up for AT&T’s installment plan and get an unlimited plan, but the amazing inclusion is the ability to trade in any Galaxy phone, from any year, in any condition, and still get the bonus. That’s a big draw for anyone with an older Samsung phone chilling in a cupboard, box, or drawer.

I love the Galaxy Z Fold 6, but the Pixel 9 Pro Fold may change that
The Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold next to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6.

A year ago, I never expected to write this. Samsung had just launched the Galaxy Z Fold 5 with iterative changes over the Z Fold 4, and Google’s first attempt at a folding phone left a lot to be desired. Google had phenomenal software features like Call Screen and Live Transcribe, but Samsung had much better hardware, the S-Pen, and incredible productivity tools.

Fast-forward a year, and it’s a very different landscape. Samsung made further iterations with the Galaxy Z Fold 6, and it’s a phenomenal folding phone. The form factor and size are great, especially when using two apps side-by-side on the main display. It has an S-Pen, and I love using mine. The problem is I can’t stop thinking about the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 is about to get a tough new competitor
A render of the Honor Magic V3.

The foldable phone market is currently dominated by Samsung, particularly with its recent Galaxy Z Fold 6 release. However, another player is entering the scene next month. Honor is expected to launch its latest foldable device before IFA Berlin in September.

On a teaser page for its attendance at the annual European tech event, Honor has displayed a large banner with the slogan “AI unfold your magic,” along with the names “Honor Magic V3,” “Honor MagicPad2,” and “Honor MagicBook Art 14.” The first refers to the company’s latest foldable phone, launched in China in July as a successor to the Honor Magic V2. Honor launched the Magic V3 in China earlier this year, but IFA is where we should see the phone get a global release.

Can Motorola’s cheap folding phone beat the Galaxy Z Flip 6 in a camera test? I found out

You’ve seen the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6. You have looked at it enviously but get put off by the price that's even higher than it was last year. I know the feeling. But then you see the Motorola Razr 2024, another really good folding phone that could be yours for a lot less. While there are various specification differences, the cameras are closely matched on paper, which will likely come as a surprise given the price difference.

Should you choose the Razr 2024 over the Galaxy Z Flip 6 if you want to take good photos, or is it the other way around? I found out when I put the pair to the test.
