Samsung is extending the return period for its newest foldable phones to 100 days, the company announced on Tuesday. This means that buyers of the Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G and Z Flip 5G can buy any of the devices, use it for more than three months and return it with a full refund. Samsung is calling this new program “Buy and Try” and it is the first time that the company has launched a return initiative as generous as this for its cell phones. The previous return window was 15 days.
“This new initiative will help consumers try to see if a folding device is right for them, as part of Samsung’s commitment to making folding devices more accessible for everyone,” said a Samsung spokesman in a statement. Samsung says the program is being launched today for purchases of any of the devices made through its website and will be in effect until April 1.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G is technically the fourth iteration of the company’s foldable line and was launched last fall as a vastly improved version of the original (and flawed) Galaxy Fold. It costs $ 1,999.99, although Samsung is currently selling the device on its website for $ 1,499.99 with an eligible exchange.
The Galaxy Z Flip 5G is Samsung’s third version of a foldable phone. After a discount, it now sells for $ 1,199.99, although Samsung says you can get one for as low as $ 649.99 with a qualified exchange. Both store pages for devices on the Samsung website bring notices of the new 100-day return offer.
