AT&T offers free Samsung Z Fold 8 with eligible trade-in
Customers can get the new foldable for free by trading in select phones
1Samsung's new foldable phones hit the market
The Z Fold 8 series, unveiled at Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event, features a wider design than its predecessor. The 4:3 aspect ratio of the Z Fold 8 enhances video watching and reading experiences. However, these premium devices come with a hefty price tag.
2AT&T's free Z Fold 8 offer
AT&T is offering the Z Fold 8 for free to customers who open a new line and trade in an eligible device. Those trading in iPhone 15-17 series or recent Samsung models can receive up to $1,900 in credits, which are applied over a 36-month contract period.
3Campaign details
To qualify, customers must subscribe to AT&T's Premium 2.0 plan or higher. The carrier also offers up to $1,000 in trade-in credit for the Z Flip 8, accepting even older phone models for this promotion. The offer is valid during the pre-order period.
4Technical specifications
The Z Fold 8 comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB/16GB RAM options, and a 4,800mAh battery. Running on Android 17 with One UI 9, the device boasts impressive camera performance. The Ultra model features a larger screen and 5,000mAh battery.
5Pros and cons of the deal
While this campaign makes an expensive device accessible for free, it locks users into a 3-year contract with AT&T. Other retailers can't match these prices. Interested customers need to act during the pre-order window to take advantage of the offer.
6Competition in the foldable market
Samsung's aggressive promotion aims to solidify its leadership in the foldable phone market. Targeting iPhone users specifically, the campaign seeks to attract a large customer base in the premium segment. Such promotions are expected to become more common in the industry.
