Fresh off a triple discount offer that slashed the price of the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Samsung is now bundling a free laptop with every purchase of the foldable phone. The deal is one of the company’s more aggressive promotions and it lands just days before Apple unveils its iPhone 17 range, the Fold 7’s chief rival.
This story was updated on August 30th with new Galaxy S25 Ultra deal details.
If you buy the Galaxy Z Fold 7 before October 2nd, Samsung will throw in a free Chromebook Go 14”, which is worth £399 ($539.15). As is the case with almost all of Samsung’s free device giveaways, this deal only applies to shoppers in the U.K. Read on for some U.S.-exclusive deals.
Since the foldable phone launched, Samsung has focused on enhanced trade-in prices and voucher codes that drop the device’s price. Handing out a free Chromebook just one month after release shows that the Korean company is serious about the Apple competition on the horizon.
This isn’t the first time Samsung has given away a free Chromebook with a Galaxy phone. In December 2024, another Chromebook Go was bundled with the Galaxy S24 Ultra. But that was 11 months after the Galaxy S24 launched. This Galaxy Z Fold 7 deal comes just over a month since the flexible device was released, which tracks with the company’s aggressive sales tactics before and after the Fold 7 was announced.
Alongside the freebie, Samsung is giving away six months of Google AI One Pro (in the U.K. and U.S.) with all flagship device purchases. Read here on how to claim that. In the U.S., Samsung will knock $300 off the Galaxy Z Fold 7 if you have no device to trade-in, or up to $1000 if you do. The trade-in prices are decent, too, with the Galaxy Note 20 being valued at $600. Although iPhone valuations are poor. For example, the iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPhone 14 Pro Max are priced at $300 and $450, respectively.
Samsung Saves The Best Galaxy Z Fold 7 Deals For The U.K.
The best place to buy a Samsung phone is in the UK. The company reserves its most aggressive deals for British shoppers, including the free Chromebook offer above, alongside free tablets, free earbuds, and repeated discount codes.
It’s not all doom and gloom for American customers; Samsung saves its best trade-in prices for the U.S. market. The Korean also bundles free subscriptions to U.S. shoppers. In the last year, Galaxy phone buyers have been gifted a year of Perplexity AI Pro, SiriusXM, Adobe Lightroom, and Peacock Premium.
Update August 30th: U.S. shoppers haven’t been left out because the Galaxy S25 Ultra has received its own discount. The price of the flagship has been slashed by $50, bringing the price down to $1,249.99. This is alongside the another $250 off if no device is traded-in. As is standard with all flagship Galaxy phone purchases in the U.S., shoppers get six months of Google AI Pro, two months of Adobe Lightroom and 50% off LumaFusion.
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 in the U.S., too, has received a $50 price cut alongside a further $300 off if no device is traded-in. It’s not a huge discount, especially up against the free Chromebook that comes with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 in the U.K. But it’s something and the size of the price cut can be extended if the phone is bought through the app using the code “APP5.”
