Is the Galaxy Z Fold 5 worth buying?

It really depends on your needs as a mobile user but we'd say it's worth the money if you're going to get the most out of its features. Having a large, tablet-like display is particularly useful if you're someone who likes to make liberal use of S-pens for productivity or watch content on the go. The new upgrades for the Fold 5 are relatively minor but they make sense and overall add to the user experience of the device. A slimmed-down design and new hinge that let it sit flat are particularly welcome for pocketability and the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip make it just as powerful as its Galaxy S23 Ultra sibling.

Who has the best deal at launch?

Tough call. Those looking for an unlocked device will definitely want to head on over to the official Samsung Store to <a href="https://shop-links.co/link?publisher_slug=future&exclusive=1&u1=trd-us-8410757073043682000&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.samsung.com%2Fus%2Fsmartphones%2Fgalaxy-z-fold5%2Fbuy%2F&article_name=The%20best%20Samsung%20Galaxy%20Z%20Fold%205%20and%20Flip%205%20deals%3A%20exclusive%20savings%2C%20free%20devices%20%7C%20TechRadar&article_url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.vanilla.tools%2Ffte%2Ftechradar%2Fc684813c-3833-11ee-9ae7-a14bd52a1569%2Fphones%2Fsamsung-galaxy-phones%2Fsamsung-galaxy-z-fold-5-and-flip-5-deals-in-the-us-and-uk">get themselves a trade-in rebate of up to $1,000 . For carrier devices, Verizon is the network that's technically offering the best deal right now, with up to $1,000 off with a trade-in for both new and existing customers and the option to bundle in a free Galaxy Watch 6. For UK readers, Samsung itself remains the best option for unlocked devices with its trade-in rebates of up to £650 off . For cheap tariffs, however, we'd recommend checking out Mobiles.co.uk and Mobile Phones Direct for their outstanding options for both the Vodafone and Three networks currently.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5: up to $1,000 off with a trade-in at Verizon
Verizon's currently offering a hefty trade-in rebate of up to $1,000 off for its Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Flip 5 deals this week. This is a match for the best rebate we've ever seen from the carrier but it's worth noting that it only applies to devices with new unlimited data lines. Upgraders can currently get up to $800 off, which isn't the best rate we've ever seen ($1,000 off is the record). See this same deal on the Galaxy Z Flip 5 here.
