TL; DR
- You can swap up to four devices for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 or Galaxy Z Flip 3.
- This offer is only expected to be available during the pre-order phase.
How much tech are you willing to give up for the Galaxy Z Fold 3 or Galaxy Z Flip 3? Samsung wants to know that with its updated trade-in offer for its latest foldables. First discovered by Android police, you can now swap out up to four devices – smartphones, tablets, or smartwatches – and get the Z Fold 3 or Z Flip 3 for just $ 70. As long as you have the right equipment, honestly, that’s pretty unlikely.
For the best returns, go with the latest Samsung and Apple flagships. The Galaxy Z Fold 2 gets you $ 800, $ 750 for the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, and $ 650 for the iPhone 12 Pro Max. However, you need to watch out for falling returns. For example, a “second choice” iPhone 12 Pro Max is valued at $ 450. The trade-in values are also lower for the Galaxy Z Flip 3.
Keep in mind that trade-in values may not necessarily be the best deals, even with Samsung’s extended limits. You could easily get a few hundred dollars more on the latest flagships by selling them online. However, trade-ins are quick and convenient, especially if you really want to get rid of old or damaged equipment.
There are a lot of permutations and combinations out there, but even if you don’t get the maximum possible, the point here is that Samsung is ready to take all of your old tech out of your hands if you want to save a decent amount of money on its latest releases . However, hold onto a charger as none of these phones come with one.
