Trade-in, Order, Preorders, and Shipping for Fold 7/Flip 7

[userUKBAGEqPKN]

Is it a way to pre-order the ultra ( Z fold 7) by trading the S25/ ultra? I only see the option of S24/ ultra only. Just wondering if anyone who wanted to trade in the S25/ ultra will be able to have the deal as well.

Please excuse my ignorance 🙂

Wasn't calling you ignorant. Just trying to understand the reasoning.

I was just trying to understand the price point between the 6 and 7 where the 7 is an improved device over the 6 but for the same cost of the 6 however, I get your pont 👍

[Mujibar]

If I understand correctly, you were maybe expecting an increased price for the 7. It's not uncommon for OEMs to maintain pricing from year to year. If they kept increasing prices each year, they would steadily lose more customers.

This works out well for customers when the devices are notably improved with each model year. It's not so great when the annual upgrades are minor. Hope that helps.

Well articulated, Mujibar. I understand completely now. Thank you for the way you laid it out.

You're very welcome

Is this your first smartphone? The yearly update cadence for mobile hardware has been in place for decades.

What? What does an update have to do with pricing? Wrong thread.

Patience is key and waiting a year or two between models helps to ease your issue:)

Question on the subject line. I have an unlocked 2025 razr and I got no option to appraise it, but the 2023 razr is getting $100 for it?!

You want to sell more phones, offer trade in values for more phones.
