For some of the best phone deals, go straight to the source and check out what Samsung has to offer. Right now, you can buy the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 for $1,000 instead of $1,800. All you need to do is make sure that you have an eligible phone to trade in. That means in some cases you may get a smaller discount, but it’s definitely worth checking out how much your phone is worth so you can scoop up one of the better foldable phone deals. Here’s what the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 has to offer.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5

We loved the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 when we reviewed it in 2023 and it currently tops our list of the best folding phones around. It has a similar design to the Galaxy Z Fold 4 before it, but it’s more refined. It’s much lighter and thinner, while it has a hinge design which folds completely flat meaning there’s no more gap between the displays at the hinge. It all feels far classier and more polished.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 has great screens too, with a 6.2-inch display on the cover and a large 7.6-inch display on the inside. Both use Samsung’s Dynamic AMOLED 2X tech while offering 120Hz refresh rates to cut down on motion blur. For processing, there’s a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor which is good for all your multitasking needs.

Elsewhere, the camera is a 50MP main camera lens, 12MP wide-angle camera, and a 10MP telephoto with a 3x optical zoom. It also has a 10MP selfie camera on the front cover and there’s a 4MP Under Display Camera too. One of the best Android phones around, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 is perfect if you want something different from the usual Android phone thanks to its foldable design.

Great to look at and remarkably practical, you can currently buy the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 for $1,000 at Samsung if you trade in an eligible phone. There’s up to $800 to be gained through a trade-in, so offer up your newer phone and you should enjoy a considerable discount here. Take a look at it now by tapping the button below.

Best Samsung Galaxy S25 pre-order deals: Secure the phone today, for less
A person holding the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus.

If you're a fan of the Samsung S24 lineup of phones, then you'll be happy to know that Samsung has just announced its latest lineup of S25 phones, and you can pre-order them already. There have been quite a few upgrades this generation, although one of the big talking points this year revolved around AI and the effort Samsung has put into integrating it into their phones. You can check out more information on our Samsung Unpacked 2025 event roundup for a breakdown of what Samsung talked about, and if you're ready to pre-order, we've collected all the best pre-order deals for you below.
Best S25 deals from Samsung
You can pre-order the Samsung S25 directly from Samsung, and while it doesn't have a direct discount, you can get up to $500 in trade-in credit, which brings it down to $300, and you can also get another $50 in Samsung Credit which will bring it down to just $250. You can also snag the S25, which does have $100 in direct savings that brings the price down to $1,020 from $1,120, plus you can trade-in and get up to another $700 in credit. Finally, you can snag yourself a pre-order for the Samsung S25 Plus with a $120 direct discount which brings it down to $1,300, and there is even another $900 trade-in credit you can get depending on the device you trade in.
There is also a full break-down of the Samsung pre-order deals on the Samsung S25, as well more information on the Samsung S25 Ultra pre-order deals from Samsung.

Best S25 deals from Amazon
One of the most clearcut deals is from Amazon on the S25, which gives you a direct $100 discount, bringing it down to just $800, rather than the usual $900. That's an 11% discount on the 128GB version of the S25, which is pretty substantial given that it's still in pre-order. Unfortunately, Amazon isn't offering any deals on the S25 Plus or the S25 Ultra, but we'll keep an eye out and update this page when and if we see any deals on them.
