Activated cell phones are limited to a 14-day return window (regardless of Elite status) and do not qualify for extended holiday returns. Opened items are also subject to a flat $45 restocking fee, unless you're a Totaltech member.
You can theoretically exchange the free Galaxy Buds until Jan 16 (or later, if you're Elite).

1- the phone is too narrow when it's folded so you have to unfold it for better experience.
2- as a someone who uses social media apps it's not easy to pull out your phone and take snapchat or instagram pic right a way.
3- almost all cases with Spen are bulk and huge so I ended up leaving the SPen which is really not good.
4- watching youtube videos not great because of the Screen ratio. Basically it's even smaller than regular phones.
5- battery is really bad, Will die before the end of the day.
6- some apps look bad even if you adjust resolution and the screen ratio, for example Facebook app looks really ugly.
With all that being said I still recommend this phone if you don't mind those issues this ua really a good price.

But I don't count the trade-in, as I've been keeping on the Samsung shell game for years. It's more of a yearly phone rental fee at this point.
S9 - $250
S10 - $170
S20 - $130
S21 - NEGATIVE $50 (Samsung paid me as I price-matched on Amazon)
Z Fold 3 - $650
The prices don't include the bonus credits, they were trade promotions (S10 and S20 I got at Best Buy).. WIth the S10, S20, S21, and Z Fold3 I've probably gotten $500 in Samsung store credit.
Z Fold 3 has been the most expensive phone I've ever bought
One key with battery life is 5G. I have a hot toggle on my home screen using Bixby Routines (doesn't require signing up for Bixby) that turns on and off 5G.

After selling my ZF2, my actual cost for the ZF3 was $136.90 and it also came with 24 months of free Samsung Care+ valued at $143.88 so my net was practically zero.
I did sell the watch and buds that came with the ZF3 so those helped in bringing my cost down.
I'm looking forward to what kind of trade-in deals we'll get when the S22 comes next year.
