- Samsung is giving Galaxy Z Fold 2 and Z Flip 5G buyers 100 days to try the phones risk-free.
- The hope is that people can try the foldable phones for which they would otherwise scramble away.
- The offer lasts until April 1.
Want to try a foldable phone, but you do not want to spend more money if you are not even sure you like the concept? Samsung thinks it can reassure you. It starts with a US promotion that allows you to try a Galaxy fold for 100 days without risk.
Buy the Galaxy Z Fold 2 ($ 1,999.99) or Galaxy Z Flip 5G ($ 1,099.99) by April 1st from Samsung’s website and then you have the 100 days to return the phone, instead of the two weeks you usually get from retailers. In other words, you can get really comfortable with a collapsible Galaxy before deciding if it fits your lifestyle.

You also get an “improved” trade-in credit of $ 550 for eligible devices, plus an immediate credit of $ 200 for accessories.
There is no mystery behind Samsung’s reasoning. We hope to win customers who have money for a Z Fold or Z Flip, but retire to a well-known design like the Galaxy S21, as they can not try a foldable reality – certainly not during a pandemic as stores closed or risky. . While this move is not about to make folding phones very popular, it could expand the public and launch the market for future devices.
