Samsung to offer 100 days to ‘Buy and Try’ its foldable phones
Did those folding Samsung Galaxy smartphones catch your eye when they hit the market last year?
Now, you can test-drive either the Galaxy Z Flip 5G or Galaxy Z Fold2 5G at a discounted price with Samsung’s new “Buy and Try” promotion. Between now and April 1, consumers can get either device – discounted at least $250 – and use them for up to 100 days. If you aren’t happy, you can return them.
The Galaxy Z Flip 5G, brought to market six months after the Galaxy Z Flip smartphone in February 2020, initially was priced at $1,449. It has a 6.9inch screen and is now priced at $649.99 with trade-in on Samsung.com.
At the time it was released, USA TODAY tech reviewer Edward C. Baig described the Z Flip as having “a sturdier feel” than its predecessor, the Galaxy Fold, and gave Samsung props for continuing “to bend the rules of how a smartphone looks and functions.”
The Galaxy Z Fold2 5G, released in September for $1,999, has a 6.2-inch front screen and unfolds to reveal a 7.6-inch middle screen. It’s now priced at $1,449.99 with trade-in on Samsung.com.
USA TODAY tech contributor Bob O’Donnell described the device as “the world’s first pocketable 2-in-1 device,” back in September 2020.
