FAQs

How much will the Z Fold 6 cost? ›

You can preorder an unlocked Galaxy Z Fold 6 directly from Samsung and receive double the storage for free. That essentially gets you the 512GB model for $1,850 and the 1TB model for $1,970. Additionally, if you have an older phone you're willing to part with, Samsung is offering up to $1,000 in trade-in value.

Which phones are affected? This unfolding issue may not be limited to the Galaxy Z Fold 4, as another Reddit user complained of the same problem with their Galaxy Z Fold 3, claiming that their screen cracked. The Redditor said they could see bristles hanging out of the phone and adhesive trapped in the hinge.

The new Galaxy Z phones are available to preorder now and will become widely available to buy starting on July 24 from Samsung's website, Best Buy, Amazon, and nationwide carriers.

It is highly recommended to always use your phone with the protective film attached. If you use a protective film that is not officially certified by Samsung, the screen may look distorted or performance may be affected.
