With this offer, you can treat yourself to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 for 199 euros. Here’s how – Journal du geek

The latest addition to Samsung’s “foldable” range, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 is benefiting from a very good offer for its first weeks of effective marketing. For the occasion, the brand is offering an incredible trade-in bonus: 300 euros reduction, in addition to the trade-in value of your smartphone. Simply unheard of on the official Samsung store.

If it usually offers a hundred euros bonus, Samsung has already risen to 200 euros very rarely, 300 euros is simply exceptional and it allows you to afford the Galaxy Z Flip3 from 199 euros. It is the symbol of the brand’s ambitions on its folding phone: that of the democratization of this form factor.

This is indeed perfectly consistent with the will displayed by the official price of the Galaxy Z Flip3. Launched at 1,059 euros, the Z Flip3 is almost 500 euros cheaper than its predecessor. In fact, it is therefore in line with the prices usually charged by the brand on its usual flagships such as the Galaxy S. Democratization is the key word.

Up to 860 euros discount on the Galaxy Z Flip3: how does it work?

As we said in the introduction, to enjoy a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 from 199 euros, you will have to go through the Samsung trade-in bonus. And for there to be a recovery bonus, there must first be a recovery. If you are not familiar with this kind of process, you should understand that it involves sending your old smartphone to Samsung. More prosaically, it consists in having it “bought” by the Korean brand.

As soon as your phone is eligible for trade-in (many references are, rest assured), the firm automatically grants you a discount of 300 euros on the Z Flip3. Amount to which is added the value of the smartphone that you trade in, it varies depending on the model and the condition of the smartphone. If it is an older model in poor condition, the amount will be low, and vice versa. In any case, 300 euros is the minimum reduction granted for the trade-in.

In other words, to get a Galaxy Z Flip3 around 200 euros, you will have to trade in a recent, high-end terminal in good condition. This is not always the case, but even relatively dated smartphones can be taken back for 200-300 euros for fstop the Z Flip3 around 500 euros thanks to the take-back bonus. This is already a substantial saving.

How do I know the amount of my phone’s trade-in?

To find out the amount of the trade-in for your smartphone, you have to go on the Galaxy Z Flip3 page and select the trade-in offer. A window will then appear immediately to specify the make and model of the phone to be taken back. You will then be asked to enter its IMEI number and then answer a few questions concerning the state of health of the mobile (presence of scratches, etc.). As a reminder, the IMEI number is visible in the settings of your smartphone (generally the “about” section), on its box, sometimes on the back of the device or by typing * # 06 # on the numeric keypad of the “phone” application.

Once this is done, Samsung will notify you of the trade-in amount, which will be deducted immediately from the price of the device. You will just have to choose the color and the storage of your Galaxy Z Flip3 before ordering. You do not need to advance the amount of the trade-in, nor the cost of sending the smartphone that is the subject of the trade-in.

With your new Galaxy Z Flip3, Samsung will send you a prepaid box to return the old terminal. You will then have a week to send it to Samsung. Upon receipt, if the condition of the device conforms to the initial description, the amount of the trade-in will be confirmed.

The Galaxy Z Flip3 at a glance

Launched at the end of August, the Galaxy Z Flip3 is Samsung’s “clamshell” folding smartphone. Because with its folding screen, it closes exactly like the terminals of yesteryear. The advantage is obviously a drastically reduced size compared to classic contemporary smartphones whose tendency is precisely to overweight to offer a screen as large as possible. The Galaxy Z Flip3 will always fit in your pocket.

Unfolded, it opens to a 6.7-inch 120Hz Super AMOLED display. To avoid having to open it at each vibration, there is also a second display, outside, which displays various information, from the time to the content of certain notifications. You will also find at its side the two photo sensors. They are therefore sometimes at the back when it is open, sometimes at the front when it is closed. Thus, the main sensor and the selfie sensor are one. Enough to obtain high quality self-portraits.

In terms of performance, you can rely on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor (one of the most powerful currently) supported by 12 GB of RAM. You will have two choices for storage: 128 or 256 GB, the second costing 50 euros more than the first. The 3,300mAh battery gets the job done for a day of routine use. Finally, know that the phone is water resistant. Small feat and world first (shared with the Z Fold3) for a folding smartphone.
