In one of its first promotions since the foldable phone launched, Samsung has released new voucher codes and offers to knock money off the Galaxy Z Fold 7. This comes just weeks before Apple\u2019s iPhone 17 lands<\/a>, the device\u2019s chief rival.<\/p>\n The most eye-catching deal is Samsung\u2019s double trade-in offer. The Korean company will pay for your old phone (more on pricing shortly) but also give you \u00a3200 ($270.05) for any tablet in any condition. In essence, allowing buyers to trade in two devices at once.<\/p>\n ForbesSamsung Makes New Free Offer To Millions Of Galaxy PhonesBy Janhoi McGregor<\/a><\/p>\n If you don\u2019t have a tablet to trade in, you can pick up a cheap (working) one on the secondary market. Having spoken to a Samsung rep before about a similar \u2018any device in any condition\u2019 offer, they told me that the Korean company would honor that promise<\/a>. I can\u2019t see any banana skins in the small print of the terms and conditions, either.<\/p>\n Still, it\u2019s wise to send in a working device to be safe. Deal hunters can pick up a Lenovo TabM8 on eBay (or Swappa) for \u00a333 ($44.56), or go even cheaper with older Asus and Galaxy Tab models for under \u00a315 ($20.25). These low risk devices are absolutely worth buying and trading in to trigger that \u00a3200 ($270.05) discount.<\/p>\n ForbesiPhone 16 Pro Max Price Slashed Ahead Of Apple iPhone 17 LaunchBy Janhoi McGregor<\/a><\/p>\n This deal can also be stacked with the company\u2019s regular smartphone trade-in programme. The prices don\u2019t match the Korean company\u2019s best, for example, it will only pay \u00a3253 ($341.61) for the Galaxy S23 Ultra compared to June\u2019s \u00a3449 ($606.26) price. An almost \u00a3196 ($264.65) difference. Clearly, the guaranteed \u00a3200 for any used tablet is where that extra trade-in discount went.<\/p>\n Elsewhere, Samsung is selling the 512GB Galaxy Z Fold 7 for the price of the 256GB model using the code \u201cZAUG\u201d. Buyers can also get a free case using the code \u201cZCASE\u201d. All of these apply to U.K. shoppers only.<\/p>\n Expect More Galaxy Z Fold 7 Deals As The iPhone 17 Release Draws Closer<\/p>\n Expect more Galaxy Z Fold 7 deals to land soon.

With the iPhone 17 launch slated for early September, the Korean company will almost certainly release new discounts for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and attempt to steal some of Apple\u2019s limelight. I expect to see higher trade-in prices for iPhones, alongside free some wearables.<\/p>\n The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is an important weapon for Samsung in its forever war with Apple, which doesn\u2019t have a foldable phone in its roster. Until the iPhone Fold lands, I can see Samsung doubling down on discounts for its foldable tech to exploit the product gap between the two companies. We will see more new initiatives to steal Apple\u2019s customers such as the Galaxy Z Fold 7 100-day free trial and the new standalone trade-in scheme<\/a>.<\/p>\n ForbesYour Samsung Galaxy Phone Is Now Even More ValuableBy Janhoi McGregor<\/a><\/p>\n Samsung will be encouraged by news that its market share in the U.S. rose from 23% to 31% in the second quarter of 2025. Meanwhile Apple\u2019s market share has declined to 49% from 56%, according to Canalys<\/a> (via CNBC<\/a>).<\/p>\n
