Sky Mobile is offering a trade-in deal on the Samsung Galaxy ZFlip8, with savings of up to £946 available for customers who pre-order before 26 August. The total saving is calculated on a trade-in price of £430 for a Samsung Galaxy ZFold7 in 'good condition', plus a £300 trade-in bonus and a saving of £216 on a 75GB data plan. However, trade-in value depends on the model and condition of the handset.
Free Galaxy Watch9 with Pre-Order
Customers who pre-order a Samsung Galaxy ZFlip8 by August 26 will receive a complimentary Samsung Galaxy Watch9 worth £349 included with their order. The Watch9 will appear in the order confirmation at no extra cost, but it will not appear in the basket. According to Sky, the Watch9 will be dispatched within 30 days of the customer receiving their new device.
On top of this, Sky customers can claim up to £300 on top of the value of their old handset when they trade it in, though this offer only runs until August 6, ahead of the August 7 release date. To redeem the £300 trade-in bonus, Sky says customers must use the IMI code of the new Galaxy ZFold8 Ultra as the promotional voucher code. Once the trade-in has been validated, they will receive an additional £300 on top of the trade-in value of their old phone.
Additional Details and Alternatives
All claims must be submitted within 14 days of purchase. Existing Sky Mobile customers looking to switch to a Samsung Galaxy will receive £300 bill credit. The Samsung Galaxy ZFlip8 is available with an upfront cost of £12 and monthly payments of £38 on a 36-month contract, and comes with 256GB of data.
Those looking to purchase a handset outright may be interested in the Google Pixel 9a, currently reduced to £299 from £349 at Amazon, which features the built-in AI assistant, Gemini. Meanwhile, Argos is stocking the SIM-free iPhone 16e 5G for £499, built for Apple Intelligence and powered by the A18 chip.
Expert Review and Customer Feedback
Daily Express technology editor Dave Snelling recently covered the new Galaxy Z Flip 8 specs in a roundup of the latest phone launches. He said: "Finally, there's the new Galaxy ZFlip8, which keeps its popular clamshell design."
Samsung has shaved a few grams off this device, boasting that it's now thinner and lighter than ever. In fact, it weighs in at just 180g - the older ZFlip7 is 188g. "Improvements to the small cover screen will make it more useful, with Samsung promising that extra information will be available without flipping things open. Making things more robust is an advanced aluminium hinge, and it gets improved performance and better camera features, such as being able to record silky smooth video via a super steady mode with horizontal lock."
Customers new to Sky Mobile can check out reviews and ratings of the network on Trustpilot. One customer wrote: "Sky Mobile is very good. I have been with Sky for 14 years, and they have never let me down. Their broadband is premium tier and their Sky Q is also high quality."
Another user commented as part of a lengthy five star review: "I am a Sky broadband and mobile customer, any time that I have had to speak with Sky I have found their customer services easy to contact and very efficient." However, not every review paints such a positive picture, with one customer noting: "Sky TV is perfectly fine if expensive. Sky Mobile, on the other hand, I can't recommend as they've configured their LTE/4G calling service to sound like 2G. Customer service was great however." A further customer shared a more positive review, adding: "Great experience, exceptional customer service! Provided complete information about the provider service and mobile."
