How to buy the Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Z Fold 4 right now

Foldable phones are no longer a strange new concept — now they’re just a type of smartphone we see released every year. But just because they’re becoming commonplace in release schedules doesn’t mean they’re common in everyday life. This may be your chance to change that for yourself. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 are now available, and while neither is a massive change from the previous generation of foldable smartphones, they’re both still great-looking and powerful phones that are truly next-generation.

How do you get your hands on these amazing machines? We’ve got the details right here, whether you’re taking the foldable plunge for the first time or you’re an established fan.

The Galaxy Z devices are expensive, but they don’t have to be if you grab the right bonuses. Samsung is offering up to $1,000 off the Galaxy Z Fold 4 when you trade-in. Trading in will get you $900 off the Galaxy Z Flip 4.

The 512GB model of the Z Flip 4 and the 1TB model of the Z Fold 4 are both Samsung exclusives for now, so this is the only place you can easily grab them.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 with 256GB of storage$1,800 upfront, $50.01 per month for 36 months, or $450 every two weeks for two months.

You’ll need to sign up for AT&T’s installment plan and get an unlimited plan, but the amazing inclusion is the ability to trade in any Galaxy phone, from any year, in any condition, and still get the bonus.

The Galaxy Z Flip 6 is getting a much-needed battery upgrade
Leaked render of Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6.

Battery life on the Galaxy Z Flip series has always been subpar. In fact, we dinged the Galaxy Z Flip 5 for its mediocre battery life in our review, saying: “If I take the Flip 5 off the charger at 7 a.m., it’s not uncommon to have less than 10% battery by 9 p.m. that evening.” We made similar comments about the Z Flip 4 and Z Flip 3, which could only last one day at best and not really a full day at that.

It seems Samsung is finally taking this to heart and is planning on bumping up the battery capacity of the Galaxy Z Flip 6. According to a leak from MySmartPrice, the Z Flip 6 (model number SM-F741U) has passed through Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification, and it will come with a dual cell 1,097mAh battery paired with a 2,790mAh battery, for a total of 3,887mAh (4,000mAh on the marketing material). That’s an increase from the Z Flip 5, which came with a 971mAh cell paired with a 2,620mAh cell, for a total of 3,591mAh that Samsung marketed as 3,700mAh.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5

Save 25% on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 for Memorial Day

While the foldable phone market has been booming in the last couple of years with entries like the OnePlus Open and the Motorola Razr, Samsung still remains the top dog when it comes to foldable phones. That means if you want the best of the best, you're going to want to go for a Galaxy Z Fold 5, which easily outperforms pretty much any other foldable phone. Of course, being a high-end phone, it does get pretty expensive, which is why this early Memorial Day deal from Amazon that brings it down to $1,350 from $1,800 is worth snatching up quickly.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5
What's interesting about the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 is that it's not actually a massive upgrade from the previous Galaxy Z Fold 4, at least not in the way that most flagship phones tend to be when the new generation comes in. As such, its new features may not look as great to those who have the Fold 4, but for those who are coming in fresh into the foldable world, it really knocks everything out of the park. For example, it has become a lot thinner than previous iterations, making it a lot easier to carry in your pocket without feeling like you're carrying a literal brick, and on top of that, the hinges have been improved to be even more quiet and long-lasting.
