Exclusive student discount: how to get a free Galaxy Z Flip 5 at Samsung today

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 smartphones at 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 $1,000 and an education discount of up to 15% to score a free device. While a little complicated, these steps together can offer incredible value on the Galaxy Z Fold 5 or Galaxy Flip 5, depending on your needs.

According to Samsung, 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.

Breaking these Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Flip 5 deals down in more detail, you have three ways to save on a new foldable, with the trade-in rebate being the most significant. For the education discount, you'll have to prove your eligibility via the Samsung Education portal, but it's relatively easy to do as long as you have an eligible email. 

The additional bonus $50 discount for TechRadar readers is only available via links from our site, so you won't see it listed on the Samsung site unless you click through. The saving here is technically a re-run from the reservation promotion that Samsung ran ahead of pre-orders, however, it isn't stackable if you've already claimed that.
