If you’ve been thinking looking for phone deals, we found two Best Buy deals we think you’re going to love! Right now, Best Buy is offering markdowns on two of the best Galaxy devices on the market for 2023: the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5. Do keep in mind that this pricing applies to the unlocked versions of both devices.

Powered by the One UI 5.1 (based on Android 13) operating system and Snapdragon Qualcomm 8 Gen 2 CPU, the Flip 5 offers blistering-fast performance and gorgeous visuals across two impressive displays. The main screen is a 6.7-inch FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED Infinity Flex Display, while the cover panel is a 3.4-inch version of the same AMOLED you’ll spend most of your time staring at.

Available in Graphite, Mint, and Lavender colors, each shell option is equipped with 256GB of internal storage (which you can expand). Additional features include Samsung’s AI-powered Live Translate function, an excellent camera system, IPX8 water resistance, and over 30 hours of battery life.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 features one of the more unique smartphone designs we’ve seen in a while. Like the Galaxy Flip 5, the Fold 5 is powered by Samsung’s One UI 5.1 (based on Android 13) OS and Snapdragon Qualcomm 8 Gen 2 CPU. The promo only applies to the 256GB unlocked version of the phone, but there are 512GB and 1TB options too.

Thanks to some dual-screen action like you’ve never seen before, the Fold 5 delivers some of the most impressive smartphone visuals on the market. The main screen is a 7.6-inch AMOLED Infinity Flex Display that pushes a max refresh rate of 120Hz, while the cover panel is a 6.2-inch AMOLED with the same frame rate capabilities. 

Whether you plan on using your phone for multi-task web browsing and apps, or simply want an arresting and responsive display to enjoy HD movies, shows, and mobile gaming on, the Fold 5 can handle anything you throw its way. Of course, battery life is one of the most important factors of any phone; but rest assured, you should get close to 11 hours on a full charge. 

We’re not sure how long these two great Samsung deals are going to last, so it’s best to take advantage before it’s too late! And while you’re at it, you should have a gander at some of the other foldable phone deals we’ve dug up this week!

It’s your last chance for Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 preorder deals

We’ve been waiting for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 to hit shelves for a while now, and we’re pleased to announce the device will be available starting July 24. But you can still preorder the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 directly through Samsung. And if you just so happen to own an older smartphone or tablet, you might be able to score an amazing discount on Samsung’s latest foldable phone. We see a lot of Samsung Galaxy deals, and this promo is pretty great.

When you create a preorder for the unlocked 512GB version of the Galaxy Z Fold 6, you’ll be able to get the new phone for as little as $700 when you add an eligible trade-in to your order. At full price, the Fold 6 costs $2,020. Generally speaking, trade-ins are accepted on Samsung, Apple, and Google phone and tablets, as well as a few other brands. Do keep in mind that trade-in value will vary based on device brand, age, and condition.

Best Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 preorder deals — last chance!
Two Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 smartphones next to each other.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 has officially landed. Well, almost. You can preorder the phone today, at least. In fact, it's your last chance to grab these preorder deals, because the phone launches on Wednesday, July 24. Here, we'll go through each major carrier and the unlocked version of the phone, picking the best deal for each one.
The best unlocked Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 preorder deal
To get a fresh, unlocked Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 your best bet is to go directly to the manufacturer. Typically, the 512GB version of the phone would cost $1,220 but now you can get it for as low as $400. Part of this is because the 512GB version of the phone now costs the same as the smaller 256GB phone, a double storage savings bonus of $120. Then, there are enhanced trade-in values. For example, your old Pixel 6 Pro (Samsung accepts Samsung, Apple, Google, and "other" phones with the first three categories giving the best returns) would typically only fetch you an $80 discount. Today, that same phone gets you $300. Trade-in credit is capped to $650.

The best Verizon Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 preorder deal
If you're looking for the best deal on a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 and want it tied to Verizon, you have two options. The first is simple and for current Verizon customers, where you get the same deal outlined above. Just go to the and all of the same trade-ins will apply.
