Samsung has opened pre-orders for the Galaxy Z Flip 8 in the USA last week, and early buyers can save money whether they have an old phone to trade in or not.
If you want to keep your current phone, Samsung will give you a $150 instant Samsung Credit with your Galaxy Z Flip 8 pre-order.
You can use that $150 Samsung Credit on eligible accessories right before checkout, but there's a catch: if you don't spend it by adding extra stuff to your shopping cart alongside the Flip 8, you'll lose the credit. It's a “spend it or lose it” type of deal.
If your goal is to bring the phone's price down instead, Samsung's trade-in program can save you up to $600 when you exchange an eligible smartphone. The exact discount depends on the device you trade in, but it's the better option if lowering the upfront cost matters more than picking up accessories.
Some of the best trade-in discounts for early Galaxy Z Flip 8 buyers include:
The Galaxy Z Flip 8 starts at $1,199 in the USA before any discounts or credits are applied. Samsung's pre-order offers are available until August 8, so you'll have to act before then if you want to take advantage of either deal.
If you'd rather buy the Galaxy Z Fold 8 or the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, they are also available with pre-order perks and discounts. Check out Samsung's online shop for more details.

In his free time, he enjoys watching shows, documentaries, and stand-up comedy; listening to music, taking walks, and occasionally playing old(er) video games.
