Samsung is drastically lowering the foldable screen repair price for the new Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Z Fold 4 from $249 to just $29, that's how confident it is in the new slimmer and more durable hinge and display design of its 2022 foldables crop.

Samsung is currently offering the former foldable perfection with the Z Flip 4 name at up to $500 off. The deal applies with trade-ins, where you can trade in an eligible phone or tablet.

When you subscribe for the Samsung Care+ plan, that is, but that was valid for the Z Fold 3 screen repair prices as well, and even then it was still $249. On the other hand, the Samsung Care+ plan is just $11 a month and it gives you an added piece of mind for your expensive $1800 Z Fold 4, now with a $29 screen repair cost with Care+, just like for Samsung's "rigid" phones that don't bend around any hinges.

Save $900 on a new Galaxy Z Fold 4 with trade-in

The cutting-edge Galaxy Z Fold 4 is available at Samsung.com for as low as $1019.99 with eligible trade-in. And this is for the 512GB variant! You can get it for even cheaper if you go with the lower 256GB model, and further cheaper if you buy it locked on certain carriers.

That's a milestone for foldable phones' repairability and is just another example how the technology is maturing. As you can see from the video above, Samsung worked hard to ditch the gear-based hinge rotation that was making it impossible to make a slimmer and lighter hinge component.

Back to linear rotational technology, Samsung managed to create a slimmer foldable that weighs less but is nevertheless just as durable as the folding design it used on the last three generations.

Besides the $11 a month Samsung Care+, you can also add a Theft and Loss protection component for seven bucks more for a true piece of mind with the only exclusion being the dangerous state of New York.

We kid, but when Samsung posts the true cost of Galaxy Z Fold 4 or Z Flip 4 screen repairs out of warranty and without Samsung Care subscription, the $29 screen replacement move will certainly be appreciated more by their future owners.
