Foldables, Now More Affordable
Samsung USA has expanded its Certified Re-Newed program to include the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, offering buyers a more budget-friendly way to experience foldable smartphones.

Here’s how much you’ll pay for Samsung’s Certified Re-Newed foldables compared to brand-new models:

That’s a $270+ savings on Flip models and $570 savings on Fold models when compared to their Z7 successors.
What Makes Them “Re-Newed”?
Every Certified Re-Newed phone from Samsung includes:
- A new battery
- Genuine Samsung parts
- Factory reset and new IMEI
- Latest software—Android 16 and One UI 8.0 for Fold 6 and Flip 6
- Unlocked for all carriers
- A manufacturer warranty
- A 147-point quality inspection
These aren’t your average refurbished devices—they’re reconditioned to feel and function like new, straight from the source.
Extras and Trade-In Incentives
Looking to save even more? Samsung lets you trade in your current device for additional savings of up to $299 on a Certified Re-Newed Fold 6 or Flip 6.
And for Galaxy Z Fold 6 buyers, this may be your last chance to get a foldable with S Pen support. Though you’ll need to spend another $99 for the S Pen Case (which has its own durability concerns), it’s still a unique productivity feature not found in newer models.

If you’ve been curious about foldables but held back by the price, these Certified Re-Newed deals offer:
- A cheaper gateway into Samsung’s foldable tech
- Peace of mind via warranty and inspections
- Access to modern features at a lower cost
For many, this may be the best value path into the foldable experience—without paying $2,000 for the latest hardware.
