The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 is officially out after Samsung unveiled the device alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 6 at its Galaxy Unpacked event in Paris. The new foldables come with most of the changes we expected in the run-up to the event.

And, as a result of Best Buy being Best Buy and working with lots of manufacturers, it has one of the widest-ranging catalogs of trade-in compatible phones out there. We’re estimating that you can save up to $680 off of the 512GB version of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6, bringing its price down to $1,340 from $2,020, and come out with a $300 Best Buy e-Gift Card.

If it ain't broke, don't replace it. When was the last time you got a new phone? For me, it was last week. Before that, it might have been three weeks ago. Before that, well, you get the idea — I have some of the best Android phones from the last few years floating around my apartment. In some cases, I have multiple generations of the same lineup, like Google Pixel devices back to the Pixel 6 series and iPhones back to the iPhone 12, and I’ve used them all. It’s a fortunate position to be in, but also one that shows how little tends to change from one year to the next. As someone whose SIM is always on the move, here’s how often I think you should get a new phone.

Will T-Mobile actually fix this issue, though? I'm not holding my breath.

Samsung‘s new foldables, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, run One UI 6.1.1 out of the box. Based on Android 14, the new One UI version brings camera improvements and new Galaxy AI features. As expected, the company will push those to eligible older foldables, tablets, and flagships. An official post on Samsung’s community forum in South Korea details all the new additions and specifies compatible older models for each new feature.

If you’re considering a premium foldable phone, these pre-order deals ahead of Prime Day may be the way to go. You can get a $300 Amazon gift card when you reserve the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and a $200 one with the Galaxy Z Flip 6. Both phones begin shipping on July 24.

The $1,100 Galaxy Z Flip 6 bears a striking resemblance to its predecessor, the $1,000 Galaxy Z Flip 5. The camera bumps are bigger with larger frames, and the hinge is slightly more pronounced, but its still the same silhouette. As Samsung dropped the details on its latest phones earlier this week, it became apparent this would be a relatively minor update from last year’s device. Samsung continues to constrain what you can do on the cover screen. Accessing apps or useful settings in the clamshell’s smaller form factor is still a pain.
