In a bold move to boost sales, Samsung has reduced the price of its Galaxy Z Fold 6 by $300 for select variants. This price cut coincides with the recent launch of the Galaxy S24 FE in September, marking the completion of Samsung’s major smartphone releases for the year.
The discount applies specifically to the “Crafted Black” and white editions of the Galaxy Z Fold 6. The 512GB variant now retails for $1,717.99, down from its original price of $2,019.99, while the 256GB model is reduced to $1,599.99, previously listed at $1,899.99.
Despite these price adjustments, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 remains a premium device. To further incentivize potential buyers, Samsung is enhancing its trade-in program, allowing customers to offset the price even more. For example, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 can be traded in for up to $1,200, and both the Galaxy S24 Ultra and the iPhone 15 Pro Max are valued at $1,000.
Additionally, Samsung is offering competitive trade-in values for older smartphones, including $800 for the Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max and the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, as well as $600 for the Google Pixel 6 Pro. Notably, Google Pixel devices, which typically receive lower trade-in values, can now fetch $450 for a Pixel 5, even though it is no longer receiving security updates.
This pricing strategy seems to target iPhone users, as Apple does not currently have a foldable model in its lineup. By offering higher trade-in values for iPhones, Samsung aims to entice consumers to switch to its cutting-edge foldable technology.
