Handing out a free Chromebook just one month after release shows that the Korean company is serious about the Apple competition on the horizon.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t the first time Samsung has given away a free Chromebook with a Galaxy phone.

In the U.S., Samsung will knock $300 off the Galaxy Z Fold 7 if you have no device to trade-in, or up to $1000 if you do. The trade-in prices are decent, too, with the Galaxy Note 20 being valued at $600. Although iPhone valuations are poor. For example, the iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPhone 14 Pro Max are priced at $300 and $450, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Samsung Saves The Best Galaxy Z Fold 7 Deals For The U.K.<\/p>\n<p>The best place to buy a Samsung phone is in the UK.

The Korean also bundles free subscriptions to U.S. shoppers. In the last year, Galaxy phone buyers have been gifted a year of Perplexity AI Pro, SiriusXM, Adobe Lightroom, and Peacock Premium.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Update August 30th:<\/strong> U.S. shoppers haven\u2019t been left out because the Galaxy S25 Ultra has received its own discount. The price of the flagship has been slashed by $50, bringing the price down to $1,249.99. This is alongside the another $250 off if no device is traded-in. As is standard with all flagship Galaxy phone purchases in the U.S., shoppers get six months of Google AI Pro, two months of Adobe Lightroom and 50% off LumaFusion.<\/p>\n<p>The Galaxy Z Fold 7 in the U.S., too, has received a $50 price cut alongside a further $300 off if no device is traded-in. It\u2019s not a huge discount, especially up against the free Chromebook that comes with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 in the U.K. But it\u2019s something and the size of the price cut can be extended if the phone is bought through the app using the code \u201cAPP5.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 now comes with a free laptop.
