Attention students and teachers! I’m here to tell you about a superb back-to-school promotion that’s available right now on the shiny new Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Fold 5 smartphonesat the official Samsung Education site.
For a limited time only, TechRadar readers can stack an exclusive $50 discount on top of a huge trade-in rebate of up to $1,000andan education discount of up to 15% to score a free device. While a little complicated, these steps together can offer incredible value on theGalaxy Z Fold 5orGalaxy Flip 5, depending on your needs.
According toSamsung, the maximum trade-in of up to $1,000 can be attained with a Galaxy Z Flip 4 or iPhone 14 Pro Max (or better), so you’ll need a fairly beefy device ready to hand over to get the full rebate. This alone is enough to get an unlocked Flip 5 for free, but you can supplement that saving even further with the education discount. If, for whatever reason, you’re not eligible for the trade, note that you can still get the student discount or the exclusive $50 off as a standalone discount.
