If you're hoping to pick up a foldable phone this holiday season, our shortlist of the best from Samsung, Google, and Motorola are worth checking out.
FULL STORY ======================================================================
If you're curious about foldables, chances are you first think of Samsung's Galaxy Fold and Flip series phones. But the market has grown tremendously in recent years and right now there are a wealth of worthwhile deals in time for the holiday season from a number of big names: Samsung, Google, Motorola and beyond.
The headline reduction here comes courtesy of Samsung's impressive $1,000 trade-in offer, which knocks what equates to over 50% off the 256GB and 512GB models of the latest Galaxy Z Fold 5 , and just under (46% off) the top-tier 1TB storage model, provided you have a suitable phone to trade-in. Similarly, up to $600 can be knocked off asking price of the latest Galaxy Z Flip 5 via trade-in too.
If you want to look outside of the South Korean giant's famed foldable portfolio, below, you'll also find discounts on Google's first foldable the Pixel Fold , and Motorola's latest Razr Plus and Razr 2023 (called the Razr
40 Ultra and Razr 40 in markets outside the US).
While these reduced prices might still clock in as a little pricey for your average stocking-filler, the deals featured here do at least bring the cost
of some of the world's best foldables down to well within the same price
range as more pedestrian smartphones. And what's a little self-care if you don't treat yourself this holiday season? Best holiday season foldable deals (US)
