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.

Though I do agree that it probably will retain value for trade in for at least S22.
I hope others can get both discounts!

My main issue was with how thick it was folded. It just made it harder for me to easily carry it around. Surprisingly, the battery life was pretty good on it. You just need to give it a few days for the adaptive battery management to do its thing. Once it did, I was easily getting more than a day worth with moderate usage.
Another issue was the aspect ratio. Most of the time watching videos or browsing social media/reddit, it was not using the full real estate. Zooming caused cropping.
Keep in mind though, Samsung offers great trade-in value, so essentially this would be 1k in itself when trading in.
Although using it in public, I always wondered if I'd be seen as a bit...pretentious.
