Summary
- Early delivery for UK customers of Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 is expected on July 19, but a surprise email going out to some buyers offers delivery a week earlier than that.
- Your fast ordering skills may pay off — being among the first 100 pre-orders can lead to early delivery and a chance to win a trip to the Olympics.
- Check your email for a pleasant surprise if you pre-ordered Samsung’s new foldables. Early delivery promo may extend beyond the UK.
Samsung’s new foldables are official, with the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 set to start arriving on customers’ doorsteps on July 24. As is often the case, users in the UK will get the phones earlier, with a delivery date of July 19. That’s when I was expecting my wife’s Z Flip 6 to arrive until I got a surprise email from Samsung that promised to deliver the phone even earlier.

My wife got her Z Flip 5 on the now-defunct Upgrade Program, but that system still processed this upgrade. A few years ago, I learned that if you know your upgrade number, you can access the order screen about twenty minutes before the new products go live on the site. So, before the hosts of Unpacked had even started talking about the latest phones, I’d completed my pre-order.
Just before 6 p.m. (BST), I got the above email from Samsung claiming that I was one of the first 100 people to order one of the new phones, entitling me to early delivery and entering me into a competition to go to the Olympics. Wanting to be careful, I screenshotted the email and hopped onto a live chat with Samsung support, who confirmed the email was legit.
So, those among the first 100 pre-orders should get this email and agree to receive our orders this Friday, July 12. It’s unclear if this promotion is limited just to the UK or if other regions will offer the same. Regardless, if you pre-ordered, check your email for a pleasant surprise, and if you do get this email, you can rest assured that it’s legit.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 is yet another iterative upgrade to Samsung’s clamshell, but it’s still shaping up to be a good phone. With some bold colors, new cameras, and more RAM, the Flip 6 should be an excellent phone, even if it isdull.
