How Much Is My Samsung Galaxy Z Flip or Z Fold Worth in 2026? UK Trade-In Guide

How Much Is My Samsung Galaxy Z Flip or Z Fold Worth in 2026? UK Trade-In Guide

How Much Is My Samsung Galaxy Z Flip or Z Fold Worth in 2026? UK Trade-In Guide

A Samsung Galaxy Z Flip or Z Fold can still have significant resale value in 2026, even if it is several generations old. The amount depends on the exact model, storage, network, cosmetic condition, battery performance, inner and outer screens, hinge condition and whether the device is fully functional. Foldable phones need particularly careful grading because screen or hinge damage can affect value much more than a small cosmetic mark on a conventional handset.

If you have upgraded from a Galaxy Z Flip 3, Flip 4, Flip 5, Z Fold 5 or another Samsung foldable, do not assume the old handset belongs in a drawer.

Sell My iPhone buys Samsung and other Android devices as well as Apple products, and its live catalogue currently includes foldable devices such as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5. Sell My iPhone

Search for your Samsung Galaxy on Sell My iPhone

Quick answer: Before selling a Galaxy Z Flip or Fold, identify the exact generation and storage, inspect both screens, test the hinge, cameras and charging, remove your Google and Samsung accounts, then factory-reset the handset. If the device is damaged, check its value before paying for repairs — a faulty foldable can still have a trade-in route.

Can I sell a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip in the UK?

Yes, potentially.

Samsung's Z Flip range has now been through multiple generations, and older models remain in circulation long after their original launch.

That includes phones such as:

  • Galaxy Z Flip 3;
  • Galaxy Z Flip 4;
  • Galaxy Z Flip 5;
  • newer Z Flip generations.

The fact that a newer model exists does not automatically make the previous phone worthless.

Another buyer may still value the compact folding form factor, while repair and refurbishment businesses can sometimes make use of devices that are no longer cosmetically perfect.

The easiest first step is to search the live Sell My iPhone device catalogue for the exact handset.

Can I sell a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold?

Potentially, yes.

Sell My iPhone currently has a live trade-in page for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5, with selectable storage, network and condition options. Available condition categories run from New through Very Good, Average, Poor and Faulty. Sell My iPhone

Check the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 trade-in page

That matters because a foldable does not necessarily need to be pristine to be worth checking.

A scratched outer case is different from a broken inner display, but both should be assessed rather than automatically treated as zero-value technology.

How much is a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip worth?

There is no single permanent price.

A Galaxy Z Flip trade-in value depends on several variables:

  • exact generation;
  • storage;
  • network status;
  • cosmetic grade;
  • inner-screen condition;
  • outer-screen condition;
  • hinge operation;
  • charging;
  • battery performance;
  • cameras and other functionality.

Market values also change over time.

Therefore, an article quoting one permanent figure for “a Z Flip” would be misleading.

A Z Flip 3 and Z Flip 5 are different devices, and even two identical Flip 5 phones can receive different valuations when one is pristine and the other has screen or hinge damage.

Use the live catalogue when you are actually ready to sell.

How much is a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold worth?

The same principle applies.

The Fold range sits higher in Samsung's product hierarchy, but original retail price does not equal current resale price.

For example, the Z Fold5 launched in the UK with storage choices extending to 1TB, and Sell My iPhone's current Fold5 page distinguishes between 256GB, 512GB and 1TB models. Sell My iPhone

That alone shows why saying:

“I have a Fold5”

is not quite enough for an accurate valuation.

You need to know which Fold5.

Does storage affect Galaxy Z Flip trade-in value?

It can.

Samsung offered different storage configurations across generations.

For example, Samsung's own comparison information lists:

  • Galaxy Z Flip3: 128GB or 256GB;
  • Galaxy Z Flip4: 128GB, 256GB or 512GB. Samsung

Samsung's Z Flip5 range was offered in 256GB and 512GB configurations in the UK. Samsung Global Newsroom

Storage therefore needs to be entered correctly when requesting a valuation.

How do I check storage on a Samsung phone?

Open:

Settings → Battery and device care → Storage

The exact wording can vary slightly depending on the version of One UI.

You can also check:

Settings → About phone

for model information.

Do not estimate storage based on how much free space is available.

A phone with 30GB free is not necessarily a 32GB phone.

Does storage affect Galaxy Z Fold5 value?

Yes, it is part of the exact specification.

Sell My iPhone currently separates the Fold5 into:

Someone selling a 1TB Fold5 should therefore not accidentally select 256GB simply because all three devices look identical externally.

Likewise, selecting a higher storage capacity than the phone actually has can lead to the device being re-assessed when inspected.

How do I find out which Galaxy Z Flip or Fold I have?

Start in:

Settings → About phone

Samsung displays the device's model name and model number there.

This is particularly useful with foldables because several generations share a similar overall design.

Do not identify it only from colour

Colours repeat.

Cases hide details.

A phone that “looks like a Flip 4” may turn out to be another generation.

The model number is much more reliable.

Check your purchase record if the phone no longer powers on

If the handset is dead, useful sources can include:

  • original order email;
  • network account;
  • retailer receipt;
  • original box label.

Do not choose a vaguely similar device in a trade-in form just to get a number.

What affects Galaxy Z Flip resale value most?

Foldable phones have the normal value factors that affect any smartphone, plus a few extra ones.

The main areas are:

FactorWhy it matters
Exact modelNewer generations generally differ in demand and specification
StorageDifferent capacities are separate variants
NetworkLocked/unlocked status can matter
Inner displayFoldable main screens are critical components
Cover displayDamage still affects usability and condition
HingeCentral to the folding mechanism
BatteryAffects everyday usability
ChargingFaults can require repair
CamerasShould function normally
Cosmetic conditionScratches and dents influence grading
Account locksCan prevent normal reuse

A foldable phone can therefore appear relatively clean while still having a major functional problem.

Why is the hinge so important?

Because the hinge is fundamental to the design.

A conventional phone can have a scratched frame without affecting how the handset physically opens.

A foldable is different.

The device needs to open and close as designed.

Check the phone slowly

Before selling, open and close it normally.

Watch for:

  • unusual resistance;
  • abnormal noises;
  • obvious looseness;
  • inability to open normally;
  • screen behaviour changing as you move the hinge.

Do not repeatedly force a hinge that already appears damaged.

If the mechanism is faulty, describe the phone accurately.

Does a crease in the folding screen mean the phone is broken?

A visible fold line and actual screen damage are not necessarily the same thing.

Foldable displays naturally bend along a specific area.

What matters much more is whether you see problems such as:

  • cracks;
  • dead pixels;
  • black areas;
  • coloured lines;
  • touch-response failures;
  • lifting layers;
  • severe display distortion.

The safest approach is to assess functionality rather than assume every visible fold characteristic is automatically a fault.

Can I sell a Galaxy Z Flip with a broken inner screen?

Potentially.

Sell My iPhone says it buys damaged and faulty devices, and its live Fold5 page specifically includes a Faulty condition category. Sell My iPhone

That does not mean every broken foldable will receive a high offer.

It means damage should not automatically lead you to conclude that the handset has no value.

Check the damaged value before paying for a repair

This is especially important with foldable displays.

Before authorising an expensive repair, compare:

  1. current value in damaged condition;
  2. repair cost;
  3. likely value after repair.

If the repair costs more than the additional resale value it creates, repairing purely to sell would leave you worse off.

Should I repair a Galaxy Z Flip before trading it in?

Only if the numbers make sense.

Suppose, purely as an example:

  • faulty trade-in value: £100;
  • repair cost: £250;
  • repaired trade-in value: £280.

You would spend £250 to gain £180 in resale value.

Financially, you would be £70 worse off than simply selling it damaged.

Those numbers are illustrative, but the method is useful.

Always check the as-is valuation first.

Can I sell a Galaxy Z Flip 3?

Potentially.

Your own Search Console data shows people are actively searching phrases such as:

  • Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 trade in;
  • sell Z Flip 3;
  • sell Samsung Z Flip 3;
  • Galaxy Z Flip 3 trade-in value.

That makes it clear there is still real search demand around disposing of this generation.

The Z Flip3 was sold with 128GB and 256GB storage options, so identify the capacity correctly before requesting a valuation. Samsung

Check the age-related issues carefully

With an older foldable, pay particular attention to:

  • battery runtime;
  • hinge;
  • inner display;
  • outer display;
  • charging port.

Age itself does not make the phone unsellable.

Its actual condition matters.

Can I sell a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4?

Potentially, yes.

The Flip4 came in multiple capacities, including 128GB, 256GB and 512GB according to Samsung's UK specifications. Samsung

That makes storage another important part of the quote.

Why Flip4 condition deserves careful inspection

A Flip4 has been in the market for several years.

That creates more opportunity for:

  • case scratches;
  • hinge wear;
  • display issues;
  • battery ageing.

None of those should be assumed.

Test the actual device.

How much can I sell my Samsung Z Flip 4 for?

The only accurate answer is a live valuation for the specific phone.

Its value can differ according to:

  • storage;
  • network;
  • screen;
  • hinge;
  • battery;
  • cosmetic condition;
  • functional faults.

That is more useful than relying on an old advertised price found in a forum or marketplace listing.

Search your Galaxy model for a current trade-in quote

Can I sell a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5?

Potentially.

Samsung launched the Z Flip5 with 256GB and 512GB storage options in the UK. Samsung Global Newsroom

It also forms part of a generation for which Samsung originally committed to four generations of OS upgrades and five years of security updates. Samsung Global Newsroom

That continued software life can be relevant to the refurbished market because the device may remain useful for another owner well after the original owner upgrades.

Software support does not guarantee a specific price, though.

Condition still matters.

Can I sell a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5?

Yes, Sell My iPhone currently has a dedicated live product page for it. Sell My iPhone

Sell or value a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5

You need to select:

  • 256GB, 512GB or 1TB;
  • network;
  • condition.

The available conditions include:

  • New;
  • Very Good;
  • Average;
  • Poor;
  • Faulty.

That means the quote is specific to the actual Fold5 you own rather than one generic Fold5 price.

Why Z Fold5 may still have second-hand demand

The Fold5 remains substantial hardware even though newer Samsung foldables now exist.

Samsung specifies features including:

  • 7.6-inch folding main display;
  • 6.2-inch cover display;
  • Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy;
  • 12GB RAM;
  • storage reaching 1TB;
  • 4,400mAh typical battery. Samsung

A newer Fold may improve on those specifications, but that does not make the Fold5 incapable.

For someone seeking a refurbished foldable at a lower price, previous generations can remain attractive.

Do newer Galaxy foldables make old models worthless?

No.

Samsung has continued developing the Fold line, and its current comparison material now includes significantly newer Fold generations alongside Fold5. Samsung

That creates normal technology depreciation, but not instant obsolescence.

When somebody buys the newest Fold, their previous Fold often enters one of four paths:

  • kept;
  • given to someone;
  • sold;
  • recycled.

If the old device still works and retains value, selling or reusing it is usually worth checking before recycling.

Does software support affect foldable-phone value?

Potentially.

Software support contributes to how long a phone remains practical for another owner.

For Z Flip5 and Z Fold5, Samsung announced four generations of operating-system upgrades and five years of security updates when the devices launched. Samsung Global Newsroom

That does not guarantee any particular trade-in value.

However, a device with official support remaining can be more attractive than hardware that has long since reached the end of its update life.

Does battery condition affect a Galaxy foldable's value?

It can.

Foldable phones still depend on rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, and battery performance declines with age and use.

Watch for:

  • rapid drain;
  • unexpected shutdown;
  • unusual heat;
  • poor standby time;
  • unreliable charging.

A battery problem should be treated as a condition issue rather than hidden.

Do not confuse battery percentage with battery health

Seeing 100% on the status bar only tells you that the battery is fully charged.

It does not mean the battery retains all of its original capacity.

Real-world runtime is often the most obvious clue on an older Samsung device.

Can I sell a Z Fold or Flip with charging problems?

Potentially, but the fault will affect condition.

Check both normal wired charging and any other charging functionality you regularly use.

For a Fold5, Samsung's specification includes wireless charging support. Samsung

However, a trade-in assessment should focus on whether the hardware works normally rather than whether you happen to use every feature.

If the USB-C port works only when the cable sits at a strange angle, do not describe the handset as fault-free.

Does screen condition matter more on foldables?

It can have an especially large practical impact because a foldable has more display hardware.

A Z Fold, for example, has:

  • outer cover display;
  • inner folding display.

A Z Flip also combines the main folding display with an external cover display.

Test every part of the screen

Do not simply unlock the device and assume everything is fine.

Check:

  • full inner display;
  • outer display;
  • touch response;
  • brightness;
  • dead pixels;
  • lines;
  • black patches.

Then fold and unfold the device and check again.

What about scratches around the hinge and frame?

Cosmetic marks are not the same as functional failure.

A foldable that has lived without a case may accumulate:

  • frame scratches;
  • hinge marks;
  • small scuffs.

Those can influence grade.

However, they are different from a hinge that no longer operates properly or a screen that fails.

Sell My iPhone's live device grading explicitly separates multiple cosmetic/functional condition levels rather than treating every used phone as identical. Sell My iPhone

Should I remove a screen protector before selling a foldable?

Do not start peeling components from a foldable simply to make it look cleaner.

The safest approach is to leave integral or manufacturer-applied display components alone unless the manufacturer specifically instructs otherwise.

You can remove ordinary external accessories such as a separate case.

For the phone itself, avoid unnecessary manipulation of the folding display before trade-in.

Does network status affect Samsung foldable value?

It can.

Sell My iPhone's current Fold5 page asks sellers to choose from network options including Unlocked, O2, EE, Vodafone, Three, Virgin and Tesco. Sell My iPhone

So do not automatically select “Unlocked” unless you know that is correct.

Network status is part of the device specification supplied to the buyer.

What should I test before selling a Z Flip or Z Fold?

Spend ten minutes checking the phone.

Test the displays

Check both inner and outer screens.

Test the hinge

Open and close the phone normally.

Test touch

Run your finger across different areas of the folding display.

Test cameras

Check:

  • rear cameras;
  • front camera;
  • any camera view available through the cover screen.

Test audio

Try:

  • speaker;
  • microphone;
  • call audio.

Test connectivity

Check:

  • Wi-Fi;
  • Bluetooth;
  • mobile network.

Test charging

Plug the handset into a known-working charger.

Test physical controls

Check:

  • power button;
  • volume buttons;
  • fingerprint sensor where applicable.

If a function does not work correctly, choose the appropriate condition.

What should I do before selling a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip or Fold?

Do not factory-reset it immediately.

First make sure your data is safe.

Sell My iPhone's current device preparation guide recommends backing up important data, removing locks and accessories, removing cloud accounts and then resetting the device. Sell My iPhone

Step 1: Back up your data

Samsung's Smart Switch system can help transfer information to another compatible device.

Check that important content has transferred before wiping the old phone.

That includes:

  • photographs;
  • contacts;
  • messages;
  • documents;
  • authenticator access;
  • app data you need.

Do not erase first and investigate later.

Step 2: Remove your Google Account

This deserves particular attention.

Samsung's UK factory-reset guidance warns that most Android phones use Google's Factory Reset Protection.

Samsung specifically advises people giving a device to somebody else to remove the Google Account before factory-resetting it. Samsung

This helps prevent the next owner encountering an account-verification barrier.

Sell My iPhone has a dedicated guide for the process:

Remove cloud accounts from an Android phone

Step 3: Remove the Samsung Account

A Galaxy can also be linked to a Samsung Account.

Sell My iPhone's Android cloud-removal guidance covers both Google and Samsung accounts.

Remove the relevant account associations before sending the device.

This makes the handset easier to test and prepares it properly for another owner.

Step 4: Remove the SIM and accessories

Before sending the phone:

  • take out the physical SIM;
  • remove a removable case;
  • remove any memory card where relevant;
  • keep accessories you are not meant to send.

Sell My iPhone specifically recommends removing SIM cards, SD cards, cases and screen accessories as part of its preparation process. Sell My iPhone

Step 5: Factory-reset the phone

Once your information is backed up and accounts have been removed, perform the factory reset.

Samsung says a factory reset removes personal information, changes and data from the handset and returns it to its factory state. Samsung

Follow Samsung's current instructions for your software version rather than relying on an old menu path from another generation.

Samsung UK: How to factory-reset a Galaxy device

Step 6: Photograph the phone

Before posting a valuable foldable, take photographs.

Sell My iPhone recommends recording the device's condition before dispatch. Sell My iPhone

With a folding phone, useful photographs include:

  • outer display;
  • inner display open;
  • rear;
  • hinge;
  • sides;
  • any existing marks.

That gives you a record of its condition before transit.

Step 7: Package a foldable carefully

Foldables deserve sensible protection during shipping.

Do not leave the phone moving freely inside a box.

Protect the device using appropriate packaging, particularly around:

  • displays;
  • hinge;
  • corners.

Sell My iPhone provides preparation guidance for securely packaging devices before sending them. Sell My iPhone

Read the full Sell My iPhone preparation guide

Do I need the Samsung box or charger?

Sell My iPhone's general preparation guidance focuses on the handset and says ordinary mobile devices do not need to be sent with unnecessary accessories unless requested. Sell My iPhone

So losing a retail box years ago does not automatically mean a phone cannot be traded in.

The much more important questions are:

  • Is it the correct model?
  • Does it work?
  • What condition is it in?
  • Are account locks removed?

How long should I keep an old foldable after upgrading?

Keep it if you genuinely need it.

A backup phone can be useful.

However, there is a difference between a backup device and a device you have not touched for a year.

Consumer electronics generally face:

  • battery ageing;
  • new model launches;
  • more used supply;
  • changing software support.

If you already know you will not return to the old foldable, waiting indefinitely is unlikely to improve its commercial position.

For more on that decision, read What to Do With Old Tech in 2026: Sell, Reuse, Donate or Recycle?. Sell My iPhone

Should I sell my Z Flip before buying a new Galaxy?

You do not necessarily need to sell first.

A safer sequence is often:

  1. obtain the new phone;
  2. transfer your data;
  3. make sure everything important arrived;
  4. test the replacement;
  5. prepare the old phone;
  6. check its trade-in value;
  7. sell it.

That reduces the chance of wiping something before you know the migration worked.

If you are considering Samsung's newer Galaxy range, Sell My iPhone also has a guide covering the Galaxy S26 FE and whether an upgrade makes sense. Sell My iPhone

Can I sell a damaged Samsung foldable?

Potentially.

Sell My iPhone says it accepts damaged or faulty devices, while the current Fold5 valuation page includes an explicit Faulty category. Sell My iPhone

Examples of damage can include:

  • cracked outer display;
  • failed inner display;
  • charging fault;
  • damaged camera;
  • button problems;
  • hinge fault.

The level and type of damage affect whether repair and resale are economical.

Do not automatically assume a broken foldable belongs in recycling.

Check first.

What if my Samsung foldable is completely dead?

Sell My iPhone's FAQs say it may consider completely dead devices where repair and resale remain viable. Sell My iPhone

A phone that will not power on could have several causes:

  • battery failure;
  • charging fault;
  • broken display;
  • motherboard fault.

Those are not economically equivalent.

Contact the buyer with accurate information if the normal catalogue options do not describe the phone properly.

What if my Z Flip or Fold has no resale value?

Then responsible recycling becomes relevant.

Do not put a smartphone with a lithium-ion battery into ordinary household rubbish.

If realistic repair or reuse is no longer possible, use an appropriate electrical recycling route.

Sell My iPhone's broader old-tech guide recommends checking for resale or reuse before treating functioning technology as waste. Sell My iPhone

Read the Sell, Reuse, Donate or Recycle guide

A practical example: selling a Galaxy Z Flip 4

Imagine you upgraded from a Z Flip 4.

The phone still works.

The outer case has a few marks, but both screens function and the hinge works normally.

Option one: keep it

If you genuinely need a backup, keep it.

Option two: give it to somebody

Another person may get years of useful life from it.

Option three: sell it

Check whether your handset is:

  • 128GB;
  • 256GB;
  • 512GB.

Samsung confirms all three were available for the Flip4. Samsung

Then:

  • test the handset;
  • back it up;
  • remove accounts;
  • reset it;
  • check a current value.

Option four: put it into a drawer

That requires almost no effort.

It also gives the phone more time to age while newer generations continue entering the market.

If you already know it will not be used again, checking its value is more useful.

A practical example: selling a Galaxy Z Fold5

Suppose you own a 512GB Fold5.

You have upgraded to a newer foldable.

Your old handset has a small frame scratch but both displays and the hinge work normally.

Sell My iPhone already has a dedicated Fold5 valuation page with 256GB, 512GB and 1TB options and multiple condition levels. Sell My iPhone

So instead of guessing:

  1. select 512GB;
  2. choose the correct network;
  3. assess the condition realistically;
  4. obtain the current quote.

That is a much better basis for a decision than comparing your handset with a random marketplace asking price.

Why marketplace asking prices can be misleading

Suppose you find a Flip4 listed online for £300.

That does not necessarily mean your Flip4 is “worth £300”.

It means someone is asking £300.

You do not know:

  • whether it sold;
  • how long it has been listed;
  • whether the storage matches;
  • whether its condition matches;
  • whether it includes extras.

A live trade-in quote answers a different question:

What is a buyer currently willing to offer for this exact specification and condition?

Both numbers can be useful, but they are not the same thing.

Should I sell privately or trade in my Samsung foldable?

There is no universally correct answer.

Private sale

Potential advantage:

  • more control over asking price.

Potential work:

  • photographs;
  • listing;
  • messages;
  • negotiation;
  • payment;
  • collection or postage;
  • possible disputes.

Trade-in

The attraction is simplicity.

Sell My iPhone's process lets you identify the device, enter its condition and send it for assessment without waiting for an individual marketplace buyer. Sell My iPhone

The right choice depends on whether the potential extra money from a private sale is worth the additional work to you.

Why Sell My iPhone buys Samsung phones despite its name

The name understandably causes confusion.

Sell My iPhone's current FAQ explicitly states that it buys Samsung and other Android devices, as well as iPads and tablets. Sell My iPhone

That means the site is not exclusively an Apple trade-in service.

If you have a Galaxy Z Flip, Fold, S-series phone or another Android handset, search the exact model before assuming it is unsupported.

Search all supported devices

The key takeaway

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip and Z Fold phones can retain resale value long after a newer generation launches.

The amount depends on far more than the word “foldable”.

Check:

  • generation;
  • storage;
  • network;
  • inner display;
  • outer display;
  • hinge;
  • battery;
  • charging;
  • cameras;
  • buttons;
  • cosmetic condition;
  • account locks.

For older models such as Z Flip 3 and Z Flip 4, age and battery condition become increasingly important.

For Z Flip5 and Z Fold5, software support and relatively modern hardware can help keep the devices useful in the refurbished market. Samsung originally committed that generation to four OS upgrades and five years of security updates. Samsung Global Newsroom

Before sending a foldable:

  • back it up;
  • remove Google and Samsung accounts;
  • remove the SIM;
  • factory-reset it;
  • photograph both screens and the hinge;
  • package it carefully.

Most importantly, check the current value before paying for a repair or putting the handset into a drawer.
