We Love the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 and It’s Down to an All-Time Low of $776 at Amazon

Now’s the perfect time to grab the 512GB configuration of this phone at its lowest ever price.

Summer is in full swing and a major sales event just ended, but that doesn’t mean the internet is completely devoid of deals. We’ve spotted the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 atat Amazon for just $776 for a 512GB configuration — an all-time low for this phone if you choose it in graphite.

This phone is currently out of stock at Samsung itself, as they’re now promoting the Flip 6 and their latest, the Flip 7. Though the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 is a previous release, it’s still one of our picks for the best foldable phones you can buy today, and the current discount saves you a massive $324 on its list price. It’s worth taking advantage of this offer if you need a new phone and want to avoid potential price increases due to tariffs.

During our Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 review, CNET phone expert Lisa Eadicicco found that the «big cover screen is fun to use» and it has a «solid battery life.» One of the few cons noted was how expensive the phone is, however, this discount makes it much more palatable.

If you’re okay with an open-box phone instead of one that’s completely new, select Best Buy stores are also offering the Flip 5 for as low as $560 (256GB) or $594 for the 512GB configuration. Keep in mind that open-box phones from Best Buy might have minor signs of wear and tear, as these phones were on display. Some of these imperfections might include scratches, lack of nonessential parts and may not include original packaging. Best Buy restores all of its open-box phones to factory settings, and all software and functions work properly.

Keep in mind that although Best Buy has steeper discounts, Amazon’s trade-in program knocks off up to $725, which could result in larger savings overall.
