Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 Deals: Save Up to $1,000 On the High-Tech Flip Phone

Slip Samsung’s latest foldable flip phone into your pocket at a discount with these Galaxy Z Flip 4 deals.

This story is part of Samsung Event, CNET’s collection of news, tips and advice around Samsung’s most popular products.

While the Galaxy S23 series may be the newest Samsung phones on the market, they’re not the only ones worth getting excited about. There’s also the Galaxy Z Flip 4, which hit shelves last year, and is one of the latest models to feature Samsung’s unique and clever foldable design. And while it’s a bit pricey with a $1,000 starting price, there are tons of offers and deals out there that can help you get your hands on one for less. Below, we’ve rounded up some of the best bargains available from both carriers and retailers, which includes no-strings-attached discounts on unlocked models, as well as deals that require a trade-in or new line of service.

The successor to 2021’s Galaxy Z Flip 3, the fourth-gen Z Flip retains the familiar vertical-folding design with a 1.9-inch cover screen on the outside and a 6.7-inch main display with 120Hz refresh rate. Notable upgrades this time around include a Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 processor, a larger 3,700-mAh battery and a smaller overall profile. Its main camera still has a 12-megapixel resolution, though the sensor has been improved for better low-light performance.

Samsung

Up to $660 off with trade-in

Head straight to the source and score hundreds off your Galaxy Z Flip 4 order when you trade in your old phone at Samsung. Unlike some other retailers and carriers, Samsung’s trade-in offers vary quite a bit depending on what device you have. High-end iPhones will score you the most credit, worth up to $660, while Google Pixel phones are worth up to $325. You can also trade in devices from other carriers like Motorola and OnePlus for a smaller discount, and you can still earn up to $250 in credit for cracked and damaged devices. Samsung accepts select tablets and smart watches for trade-in as well. You’ll also get a few other bonuses when you buy from Samsung, like three free months of Spotify Premium and four free months of YouTube Premium.

Verizon

Up to $1,000 off with trade-in and new line

Verizon has some of the best Z Flip 4 deals of any carrier at the moment. New customers can save up to $1,000 with a trade-in and a new line of service, while existing customers who are eligible for an upgrade can save up to $800 with a trade-in. Those switching their existing number over from another carrier will also get a free $200 Verizon gift card.

Verizon is also offering some other bonuses with this purchase, including 50% off a pair of Galaxy Buds 2, $330 off a Galaxy Watch 5 and $670 off a Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE, though you’ll need a service plan for the new tablet as well.

T-Mobile

Up to $800 off with new line

T-Mobile has quite a few deals on the Galaxy Z Flip 4 at the moment, but they vary a bit depending on which plan you have. You can save $800 if you’re adding a new line on a Magenta Max plan, or $400 if you’re on a different eligible service plan. And you can save up to $400 with the trade-in of a qualifying device from Samsung, Apple, Google and other brands.

AT&T

Free with qualifying trade-in

AT&T has the best trade-in offer of any carrier at the moment as long as you have, or switch to, an eligible unlimited plan. You’ll get $1,000 in enhanced trade-in credit, scoring you the base model Z Flip 4 for free, as long as your device is valued at $35 or more. That even includes old or damaged devices, so you may be surprised at how much that scratched-up iPhone in your drawer is worth. AT&T is also offering 50% off any one Samsung accessory with the purchase so you can pick up a case or charger for less.

Just note that your trade-in credits are applied over a 36-month period, and if you cancel service before the 36 months is over, you’ll have to pay the remaining balance. Also be aware that credits begin within three bills and require that you pay all taxes and associated fees on the retail price up front.

Best Buy

Up to $1,000 off carrier models

While Best Buy isn’t offering any deals on unlocked Z Flip 4 models, it does have its own trade-in program where you can knock a few hundred off the price. However, Best Buy has partnered with major carriers, and there are some discounts available on those models. Verizon customers can save up to $1,000 with a qualifying trade-in and activation on an eligible service plan. And T-Mobile customers can save $800 with a new line on a Magenta Max plan — the same deal being offered directly from T-Mobile. It’s also worth noting that these same deals are also available for the Z Fold 4.

MASK, CLOAK, COVER, FACADE, DISGUISE, CAMOUFLAGE

Today’s Strands spangram

Today’s Strands spangram is FALSEFRONT. To find it, start with the F that’s two rows over from the far left and two letters down. Wind around into a question mark.

I Made Google Translate My Default on iPhone Before a Trip and It Saved Me More Than Once

Google Translate supports far more languages than Apple’s app, and it’s easy to make the switch.

If you’re traveling overseas this summer, the Google Translate app can come in handy to quickly translate a road sign or conversation. The latest Google Translate update allows you to pick the app as your default translation app for Apple iPhones and iPads running iOS and iPadOS 18.4 and later. Previously, you were limited to the built-in Apple option.

Google began leveraging AI to boost Google Translate’s offerings, adding 110 languages last year to increase its total support for 249 languages. Compare that to Apple Translate, which supports 19 languages. Neither Google nor Apple responded to a request for comment.

Both apps offer voice and text translation, including a camera feature that lets you instantly translate by pointing your camera at text. Both also allow you to use translation features without an internet connection, which can come in particularly handy when traveling to more remote locations.

After using both, I found that the Google Translate picked up speech a little quicker so I didn’t have to constantly repeat myself, and the audio pronunciations were a little easier to understand than on Apple Translate. I switched to Google Translate as the default on my iPhone, and here’s how you can, too.
