Refurbished Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7
Samsung is now selling refurbished versions of last year’s foldables through its Re‑Newed program. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7, which Mashable reviewed positively a year ago, are available on Samsung’s website as certified refurbished devices.
- Refurbished Galaxy Z Fold 7 starts at $1,699.
- Refurbished Galaxy Z Flip 7 starts at $939.
These prices represent discounts of roughly $300 for the Fold and $160 for the Flip compared with the phones’ original suggested retail prices.
Pricing Comparison
According to 9to5Google:
| Model | New (Samsung site) | Refurbished (Re‑Newed) |
|---|---|---|
| Galaxy Z Fold 7 | $1,599 | $1,699 |
| Galaxy Z Flip 7 | $899 | $939 |
The brand‑new devices are currently listed at lower prices than their refurbished counterparts. While the lower new‑device prices may be temporary promotions and refurbished prices could remain stable, it is unusual for a new phone to cost less than a refurbished one at the same time.
Verdict
Both the Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 remain strong foldable devices, and the refurbished options still offer a discount compared with the phones’ launch prices. If you’re interested in a foldable phone, now may be a good time to consider purchasing one, whether new or refurbished.
