Want to actually try a Galaxy Fold? Back Market has one at $490!

Foldables are now an established niche in the smartphone market. And the bad news is that they did not stabilize at a lower price point. Nope, a brand-new foldable phone would cost you a hefty $2k.

That’s an “I know I want to use this” price, not a “I will give it a try” price. What if you are still on the fence?

Well, it’s always a good idea to shop second-hand or refurbished. But that comes at its own risk. The second-hand market is kind of like the Wild West — you need to have a keen sixth sense and fine-tuned shopper instincts to survive it. Refurbished shops are… sometimes questionable.

Back Market makes everything simple and reliable

Back Market is a well-known player in the recycle economy. They have deep experience in testing, fixing, cleaning, and reselling devices with quality parts and full functionality guarantee.

And they stand behind that — with a 30-day money back policy and a full year of warranty on any device you buy off the Back Market website.

Choosing the grade and quality of a phone is also simplified, and the guidelines are transparent and well-explained. You know exactly what you are getting when you choose Fair, Good, or Excellent grade devices.

Each phone passes through a 100-point quality test, ensuring everything works — from speakers, mics, and the display to things like the SIM tray and GPS antenna. Phones are guaranteed to have 80%+ battery capacity, Premium graded units have 90%+.

A Galaxy Z Fold 5 at an incredibly low price

While the Z Fold 5 is two generations old by now, it still has plenty of life left in it. Samsung commits to 7 years of software support post-release, and Back Market guarantees that its refurbished phones are fully functional.

So, what’s in it for you? For one, you get to try a premium foldable phone at the low-low price of $400. The Z Fold 5 also supports an S Pen — a feature that was gutted in the latest Galaxy Z Fold 7.

It’s also the older style of Samsung phones, where the external display is narrow and tall, more suited for single-thumb use. Unlike the new models, which make the folded phone mimic a full-size Galaxy Ultra.

If you want something slightly newer, you can still grab a Galaxy Z Fold 6 at slightly less than $600 — that’s way south of the $2,000 asking price that modern foldables come at.

Wondering if you can actually grab a new model at a bargain? Yeah, you can. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 units start at $975 — still half-off!

So, to sum up, if you have no idea whether a foldable is for you, but have been itching to try one — the Z Fold 5 is a no-brainer. It will be way better than any $400 phone you can buy new.

If you have your mind set on a foldable, but would never spend $2,000 on one — the Z Fold 7 for $975 from Back Market is basically a steal.
