Want to find out whether this new foldable should be your next phone? Our Galaxy Z Fold 5 review has all of the answers.

The fifth-generation Galaxy Z Fold was revealed alongside an improved Galaxy Z Flip 5. Looking for the best Galaxy Z Flip 5 deals? We’ve rounded up the latest price cuts and promotions together in a separate guide. 

The Galaxy Z Fold 5 doesn’t land on store shelves until August 11, but if you want to be one of the first people to pocket this flagship foldable, there are some incredible preorder deals available ahead of the launch.

But you’ll need to hurry as these preorder deals won’t be around much longer – Samsung will end all preorder promotions at 11.59pm on Thursday, August 10.

For a limited time, Samsung will double the storage in your phone when you preorder Galaxy Z Fold 5. 

That means you’ll get 512GB of non-expandable storage for the price of the entry-level model, and the maxed-out 1TB variant costs £200 less than its standard price tag. That’s an incredible saving! If you’re the type of person who stores thousands of apps, games, movies, ebooks, and photos on your phone – do not miss out on this incredible offer.

…and that’s not the only bonus when you buy the Fold 5 ahead of its UK release date.

Samsung will bundle an annual subscription to Disney+ (worth £79.90) with every preorder. This is available no matter where you decide to buy the Galaxy Z Fold 5, you can claim the one-year streaming subscription from the Samsung website.

If you’re happy to part ways with your current phone to upgrade to the Galaxy Z Fold 5, there are even better Galaxy Z Fold 5 deals to be had! That’s because Samsung has supercharged its trade-in deals with discounts of up to £650.

Of course, the exact discount will depend on the make, model, and condition of the handset you’re going to trade in. Nevertheless, if you’re willing to part with a flagship phone released within the last three years, you’ll earn a substantial discount.

At the time of writing, the previous-generation Galaxy Z Fold, Galaxy S Ultra, and iPhone Pro models tend to unlock the highest discount.

Best of all, Samsung immediately applies the discount to the Galaxy Z Fold 5 in your shopping basket.

Yes, there’s no annoying refund process …unlike some rival brands. Instead, you’ll pay a smaller price tag for your brand-new Galaxy Z Fold 5 at checkout. Simple.

Samsung won’t insist that you send off your current phone until your new Galaxy Z handset arrives in the post. That means you’ll be able to transfer your apps, photos, and contacts between the phones and only mail your existing handset when you’re sure that you haven’t lost any data in the transfer process.

If you want to upgrade to the latest smartwatch to go with the latest foldable, we’ve put together the best Galaxy Watch 6 Classic deals ahead of its launch later this month too. 

Below, you’ll find the best Galaxy Z Fold 5 deals available today. That includes the latest preorder deals from Samsung as well as a select number of UK mobile networks. We’ll continue to update this article as new pay monthly deals become available.

After the Galaxy Z Fold 5 releases on August 11, we’ll add the latest SIM-free pricing from retailers like Argos, John Lewis & Partners, Amazon, and Currys. So stay tuned.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 is a little bit pricier than its predecessor, a trend that we’ve also seen with the Galaxy Z Flip 5 too.

The UK prices for the three storage configurations are…

• £1,749 for 256GB of storage 
• £1,849 for 512GB of storage
• £2,049 for 1TB of storage

For comparison, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 started at £1,649 when it launched last summer. Interestingly, the 1TB variant of the Galaxy Z Fold 4 cost £2,019 at launch, so this maxed-out model has weathered the latest price rises better than other configurations.

With the Galaxy Z Fold 5 prices on the rise, there’s never been a better time for some stunning preorder deals.

Thankfully, Samsung has delivered exactly that ahead of the release date on August 11, 2023. If you preorder the flagship foldable, Samsung will double the storage at no extra cost.

Yes, that means you’ll be able to add the 512GB version to your basket for just £1,749 and the maxed-out 1TB variant for £1,849. Thanks to this mind-boggling deal, the prices for these storage options are now lower than Galaxy Z Fold 4.

As well as the storage boost, Samsung is also bundling an annual subscription to Disney+ for free.

Worth £79.90, you’ll be able to binge exclusive boxsets like Secret Invasion, The Bear, Dopesick, Only Murders In The Building, Star Wars: Andor, Welcome To Wrexham, and more, on your new Galaxy Z Fold 5 …or any other devices with the Disney+ app.

Samsung will honour this Disney+ subscription with any Galaxy Z Fold 5 preorder – no matter where you decide to buy the handset. You’ll be able to claim the annual subscription after your purchase whether you buy the Galaxy Z Fold 5 from John Lewis & Partners or decide to sign-up to a pay monthly deal with O2. 

There are a number of advantages to buying the Galaxy Z Fold 5 direct from the Samsung store, including the exclusive colour options. Galaxy Z Fold 5 is available in Grey and Blue when bought directly from Samsung (either online or in-store) in addition to the standard Icy Blue, Phantom Black, and Cream available nationwide.

Samsung has also increased its trade-in offers to encourage fans to upgrade to the brand-new Galaxy Z Fold 5.

For a limited time, you can secure a discount of up to £650 when you trade-in your current handset. Generously, Samsung won’t ask you to send off your existing phone until the shiny new Galaxy Z Fold 5 arrives in the post (that means you’ll never be left without a handset and will have plenty of time to transfer across your apps, photos, and contacts too)

As you’d expect, the discount will vary based on the make, model, and condition of the smartphone you’re hoping to trade-in.

If you’d rather not pay for the Galaxy Z Fold 5 outright, there are a number of pay monthly deals with the biggest UK mobile carriers. Regardless of which mobile network you pick, you’ll still be able to claim an annual subscription to Disney+ for free from Samsung. Some mobile networks include free subscriptions of their own, so you’ll have even more freebies to test out on your new handset. 

To make the comparison fair, we’ve picked pay monthly deals with between 20GB to 30GB of 5G mobile data each month.

Of course, this 5G data allowance won’t suit absolutely everyone, but it should be enough for most people. With roughly 25GB of data, you’ll be able to stream music or YouTube videos when away from Wi-Fi, answer video calls, and plot routes on Google Maps without worrying about running out. For those who binge boxsets on Netflix on the train to work every day and don’t want to plan ahead and download episodes at home …you might want to plump for more data.

Not every mobile network has the Galaxy Z Fold 5 available for preorder yet, we’ll continue to update this guide as more prices are announced in the coming days and weeks.

However, some mobile networks – such as O2 – will include free subscriptions of their own, so you’ll have even more freebies to test out on your new handset. We’ve put together the latest Galaxy Z Fold 4 deals below from the major networks.

The Galaxy Z Fold 5 arrives with a brighter screen, faster chipset from Qualcomm, and a thinner design.

Samsung has dropped 10g and 2.4mm in thickness compared with the previous generation – Galaxy Z Fold 4 – released in summer 2022, thanks to an improved hinge mechanism.

Aside from these welcome improvements, Samsung has kept the overall design of the handset very similar to last year. As such, you’ll find an edge-to-edge 6.2-inch Cover Screen and 7.6-inch AMOLED folding touchscreen that unfurls like a paperback. Like the Galaxy Z Fold 4, there are still six separate cameras included in the design.

Powering the Galaxy Z Fold 5 is the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy – a customised version of the chipset designed specifically for Samsung devices.

That’s the same processor you’ll find inside the Galaxy Z Flip 5, Galaxy S23, and Galaxy S23 Ultra. In the Galaxy Z Fold 5, Samsung says the Qualcomm-built chipset unlocks speedier performance and longer battery life.

Samsung has increased the size of the cooling system inside the Galaxy Z Fold 5 to keep everything cool during marathon gaming sessions.

The Galaxy Z Fold 5 arrives with improvements to the displays, with brightness increased from 1,000- to 1,200nits. Better yet, peak brightness has risen from 1,300- to 1,750nits compared to the Galaxy Z Fold 4. That means using the handset outdoors shouldn’t be an issue – even in direct sunlight.

Like the handset itself, Samsung has put its S Pen Fold Edition on a diet too. For those who rely on the S Pen to sign PDFs, annotate screenshots, doodle or make handwritten notes, this new compact design (41% slimmer, Samsung tells us) is sure to save a lot of space in pockets and bags.

This svelte new design means the Slim S Pen Case, which has a dedicated slot to store the digital stylus when it’s not in use, is now just a fraction thicker than a regular case for the Galaxy Z Fold 5.
