The Samsung Winter Sale has been full of epic offers on smartphones, tablets, and TVs, but now that we've officially reached the Christmas arrival cutoff (today, December 15th at 11:59pm EST), I'd like to tell you about one last-minute Galaxy Z Flip 5 deal that deserves your attention. Order the popular foldable phone before the sale wraps up and you'll be eligible to receive up to $600 of instant trade-in credit AND a free storage boost to 512GB (an additional $120 value). That means you could be getting the phone for as little as $399.99 if you play your cards right.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 512GB: $1,119.99 $999.99, up to $600 of instant trade-in credit at Samsung

Head to Samsung and grab the Galaxy Z Flip 5 before the Winter Sale ends and you'll be eligible for a free storage upgrade to 512GB and up to $600 of trade-in credit when you send in an old or broken phone. Not too shabby for one of the best Android phones released this year.

Use Samsung's trade-in tool via the link above to see how much you can save. If you simply don't have a phone to trade-in, it's also worth noting that Amazon and Best Buy are also slashing $150 off the unlocked Z Flip 5 512GB, which is an excellent deal in its own right.

Unlike some trade-in offers, Samsung is also being pretty transparent about the trade-in items they accept. The Galaxy S22 Ultra, Z Flip 4, and Z Fold 4 will all get you the max $600 credit, for example, while older phones like the S21 Ultra and Z Flip 3 will get you a still-great $500 discount. If you're curious about the deal but aren't ready to commit, simply dig out those old devices and use Samsung's trade-in tool to see how much you can save. And don't forget, the Samsung Winter Sale ends on Sunday.

As we described in our Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 review, this foldable phone impresses by improving upon its predecessor in a few key areas. The clamshell foldable delivers exceptional performance through the custom Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, plus you get a new-and-improved AMOLED cover display, a durable waterdrop-style hinge with an aluminum and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 construction, and years of software support guaranteed. Buy the Z Flip 5 from Samsung and you'll also be able to choose from a number of exclusive color options.

✅Recommended if: you've been waiting for the right time to try a foldable phone; you can trade in a Samsung phone from the last three years.

❌Skip this deal if: you don't have any old devices to trade in; you're not interested in clamshell-style phones.
