GET $150 CREDIT: As of Feb. 20, buy the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 (256GB) at Amazon and get a $150 promotional credit at checkout.
If you're looking to buy a new phone, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 is a solid choice and a conversation starter. Folding phones are so rare now that if someone sees you using it they'll undoubtedly ask questions, and boom! You've made a new friend. Even if you aren't looking to meet new faces, there are still plenty of reasons to grab one of these bad boys – the number one reason being you get $150 credit with your purchase at Amazon today.
As of Feb. 20, when you buy the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 (256GB) at Amazon for $1,003.30, you can get $150 back in promotional credit. That essentially makes the phone just $853.30, considering you can spend that cash back on other goodies at Amazon. Just be sure to hit the "Redeem" button on the store page before you check out.
This phone, an incremental upgrade from the Z Flip 4, features a 6.7-inch AMOLED inner display, a 3.4-inch cover display, 8GB of RAM, 256GB or 512 GB of storage space (you can get this size for $984.97 without the promotional credit), a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, and a 3,700 mAh battery. But its most exciting feature is the fact that it's an honest-to-goodness modern flip phone with an external screen that you can customize with a wide variety of widgets.
Mashable's Alex Perry called the Z Flip 5 a "worthwhile investment" for folks looking for a foldable phone. In his review, Perry praised the phone's Flex Window as a novel addition to the smartphone, but noted that it isn't necessary to "look at the weather or count steps." It's a bit gimmicky, as Perry notes, but it's a great folding phone if that's what you're looking for.
And now that you can get $150 back, it's a good time to go ahead and buy it now.
