I did buy Fold 3 couple months ago and I ended up selling it and I get the ultra instead.
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.

I went to bestbuy store and with upgrade option higher trade in values are not coming up in the system. Do they need manager override or does it work for new lines only?

Ended up deciding to pull the trigger. Going to sell my s21 ultra for ~700 making this 300 with the Galaxy buds and $60 in best buy rewards. if I don't like it, easily can make up the $200 difference upgrading to the s22 ultra in February.
Where would you sell the 21 ultra?

That's not the point. In my opinion this phone is not better than any other flagship phone. It will be STEAL if it is free, similarly to other flagship phones deals at the moment. Paying $1000 for it is not steal, and it is a questionable deal. Most people here rely on the idea that based on Samsung past offer, they will get a trade in of $1000 value next year. Maybe, maybe not. I am not overly optimistic about Samsung's business patterns, from what I've seen they try to out-greed Apple, which is already a solid benchmark by itself Smilie Smilie In finance, this kind of presumptions based on promises carry very high risk, and they are usually heavily discounted - check the Argentines bonds or Evergrande's debt notes Smilie Smilie
Samsung choose to loose the pricing, and they basically created a Ponzi scheme, where any newer generation phone revenue can be motivated with very expensive trade ins. Now, they are trying to break that chain of events with a "sale" at $1000. If you want to fund their broken market approach, feel free to do it.
Actually, I really just wanted to know about the iPhone deal, nothing more :-)

Besides the Note 20, the only US market dual SIM (1 physical, 1 eSIM) Galaxy would be the S21.

Previous posters said they had to have manager give them the difference on a gift card they were able to use on the purchase.

Received mine today as well and there was a TMobile sim card stuck to the outside of the box with one of those Best Buy red and white stickers attaching it.

There is not one. Even popping out the insert and nothing. I guess mine is truly unlocked & not activated.
When I bought the Flip 3, the sim card was taped to the outside box.

Tried buying this with existing AT&T line but wouldn't let me check out. Is this only good for new lines for AT&T?

I'm out of contract now and still on a S9+ so is this deal still the best for out of contract customers?
