TL;DR
Samsung has quietly tweaked the trade-in options for Galaxy Z Flip 4 buyers. There are now two options for trading in the Galaxy Z Flip 3, differentiated by storage capacity. While the 256GB model will return up to $900 in trade-in credit, the 128GB option will not.
Samsung announced the Galaxy Z Flip 4 last week, bringing further improvements to its foldable phone. At the time, the company offered a pretty attractive trade-in credit deal, reducing the price of the new phone by up to $900 if you traded in the Galaxy Z Flip 3. However, that deal has changed slightly since its launch. First spotted by 9to5Google, Samsung has quietly added another option to the transaction drop-down menu on its website. Initially, there was only one Galaxy Z Flip 3 option listed, suggesting that all variants would earn potential buyers up to $900 in trade-in credits. However, there are now two – one for the 128GB model and another for the 256GB. The latter will still earn you up to $900 in credit, effectively bringing the price of the Galaxy Z Flip 4 down to $99. If you have a 128GB model, you’ll get up to $700 off. Andy Walker / Android Authority Sure, paying $299 isn’t as bad for a new foldable as full price, but it’ll likely turn off a number of potential upgraders. The $200 gap between the two storage options gets even weirder when you consider the Galaxy Z Fold 4 trade-in options. Owners of both the Galaxy Z Fold 2 and Z Fold 3 get up to $1,000 off that model, regardless of the storage capacity. Comments
