The new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6.
Samsung’s high trade-in prices are over. But the discounts aren’t, as the company immediately followed up that offer with another promotion on the Galaxy Z Fold 6.
To mark the start of the Olympic Games, from July 26 to August 13, Samsung will be offering £150 ($192.94) cashback on purchases of select phones in the UK. This cashback offer can be up to £300 ($385.88) for one in three buyers via a scratchcard competition. However, anyone who buys any of the phones listed below on Samsung’s UK website will get a guaranteed £150 cashback.
- Galaxy Z Fold6
- Galaxy Z Flip6
- Galaxy S24 Ultra
- Galaxy S24+
- Galaxy S24
However, you will need to take some steps to get your money back. A refund request must be submitted within 30 days via the online request form with the same information used to purchase the phone.
The big pre-order deals are over, though. Samsung is no longer offering its free storage upgrade from 256GB to 512GB, nor is it offering high trade-in prices for your old phone, nor is it offering Samsung Care+ for free. Even so, a £150 discount on the base price is still a great deal, and it matches the company’s last Galaxy S24 sale earlier this month, which took place just days before Galaxy Unpacked.
What’s missing are improved trade-in prices that offer real savings. If you have an old phone, it might be worth holding on to for the next sale that combines direct cash on a new phone with improved trade-in values. Take a look at what Samsung was offering for five-year-old phones just a few days ago.
What we can be sure of is that Samsung will likely offer double the storage, free Samsung Care+, and other types of discounts again in the near future. The company has slashed the price of its Galaxy S24 multiple times since its launch in January, as has Google with its Pixel 8. The two companies have been engaged in a price war for the past seven months, and with Google’s Pixel 9 set to launch soon, followed by Apple’s iPhone 16 in September, Samsung will almost certainly respond with a new deal.
