Should you pre-order your Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 from Samsung or elsewhere? As it turns out, it depends a lot on your carrier. Here are the best deals around.
If you want to get the latest Samsung folding phone, right now is a good time to get prepared. The reason is because the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 is officially ready for pre-ordering. While you could wait until the official release date of July 24th, you may encounter shortages. (Note: There’s a mysterious ‘Get it by July 24′ message on the Samsung pre-order page, with the emphasis on the word “by” being ours.) You’ll also miss out on great pre-order deals where you can get extra storage with no additional costs. But should you pre-order your Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 from Samsung or elsewhere? As it turns out, it depends a lot on your carrier (or intended carrier) and your current status with that carrier. Here, we examine the best deals for each carrier, though you should note that switching from an unlocked to carrier-specific deal is as easy as pressing a button. In other words, the unlocked deal is universal and might be a great place to start learning about Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 deals.The best unlocked Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 pre-order deal
To get a fresh, unlocked Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6, your best bet is to go directly to the manufacturer. Right now they advertise that you can get the phone with as much as $1,500 in savings. The first way you’re saving is by getting an effective doubling of your storage space for free. That means the 512GB version costs as much as the (now unavailable) 256GB version and the 1TB version costs as much as the 512GB version will cost. That’s a savings of $120 and $240, respectively. 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 $500. Trade-in credit is capped to $1,200.
