If you're on the fence about picking up a foldable, Verizon's current deal on the new Galaxy Z Fold 5 (and Flip 5) could just be the promotion to finally make you commit.

Not only is the carrier offering a $120 discount on all devices right now, but you can also get the usual trade-in rebate of up to $1,000 off and the option to bundle in a free Galaxy Watch 6 on the side. 

If the brand-new smartwatch doesn't appeal, then there's also an option to get $429.99 off of a Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Plus too. That's the other new device that's just been announced at the Galaxy Unpacked event.

While the extra device savings are great in their own right, the real selling point of this Verizon deal is that the trade-in rebate applies to both new customers and upgraders. Generally speaking, the big rebates available at carriers are tied to new lines on pricey unlimited plans, so this one gives existing customers a really great option to jump on the foldable bandwagon. 

Check out our Galaxy Z Fold 5 review and Galaxy Z Flip 5 review for our detailed thoughts on these awesome new foldables from Samsung.
