Samsung is so desperate to sell the Galaxy Z Fold 3 that it’ll let buyers trade in two devices to lower the entry price.
After months of rumors and leaks, Samsung finally confirmed the Galaxy Z Fold 3 Unpacked press conference. The virtual show takes place on August 11th, at which point Samsung will likely confirm everything we’ve heard about its foldables. Preorders will start soon after that, and the new phones should ship to buyers a few weeks later. Samsung has yet to reveal the Galaxy Z Fold 3 price, but the company already launched a reservation service for the new foldable phones. Samsung teased various perks in its announcement without revealing the most significant surprise it had planned for customers: You’ll be able to trade in two phones for a Galaxy Z Fold 3 or Z Flip 3. We’ve had foldable phones in stores for three years, but vendors still have to solve two major issues that can hurt demand. That’s durability and price. Phones with displays that can fold are more prone to accidental damage than traditional devices. They’re also more difficult to protect with accessories.
