Trading in Fold 3 towards s22

[durandetto]

Just chatted with Samsung and they said as long as it's not a lease it's eligible for trade in.

That's what I was told.

If you going to trade that Fold 3 to Samsung at least go with the S22+ it's not much difference cash wise since you will get $900 trade in for the Fold ...it hurts me to see you going S22 with it ...

It's for my wife and she hates big phones. She currently has the s10e. I might have to take her to best buy to see them both in person.

Yes time to do some convincing..battery wise and feel in hand is awesome on that S22+ ..it will be a great upgrade from the s10e ...plus I'm hearing battery is a little lacking on the S22 ..early reports though ...good luck with it

I'll be taking her to the store to see them. Getting an extra 200 for my fold would be nice.

Good luck ..you are basically getting the + for the same price you pay on the S22 ..

Here's the deal. I bought the S20 thru Verizon at the discounted price, $500.00 (which was actually 1000 but with a discount as long as I stayed with Verizon. I paid it in full {$500.00} but apparently that put me into a "contract" for 2 years. Didn't cost me anything unless I switched carriers. So, when I bought the S21 thru Samsung Verizon gave me a big fight over it! Eventually they let me "upgrade" as long as I stayed with them. It was a wash on my monthly plan. Then the S22 came along. I tried to upgrade to a Verizon S22 Ultra, through Samsung, and the system shut down! Apparently, I still have 3 months on the original contract, so my Verizon rep told me to just buy an unlocked phone. I still get my same monthly plan discount on the S20, so I pay nothing extra a month, and I get the new phone. So that's what I did. I got the unlocked Ultra, still pay my normal amount for the next 3 months and have a new phone. Everyone wins! Especially ME!

So I ordered 2 s22+s gonna trade in mine and my kids folds for them. With my $1000 trade in to Verizon to get the folds and the $900 I'm getting from Samsung it's basically a wash. Gonna surprise the kid, because he hates the fold as much as I did. Just glad the wife was OK with the bigger plus. Phones should be here Monday.

Hope you like them as you just locked your lines down for 3 years. I think I'm done getting phones thru verizon, 3 years to get the promos is getting ridiculous. I can get the promos thru Samsung without 3year commitments.

If you don't plan on leaving them like plenty of peeps I know and that don't change phones like us here it's a good deal ...most carriers doing the same thing ...I checked last week I couldve gotten $1000 for Pixel 4a 5g which is awesome deal ...s22+ for $35 upgrade fee and taxes for phone some have sitting around ...

My kid is gonna be happy. Haven't even told him he's getting it yet. Phones should be here tomorrow.

You are correct, but I'll throw in how many "regular" people that don't change phones all the time like us in here have phone issues just at 2 years or just over and now they will regret it at that point. Carriers found a great way to get us in contracts for 3 years now. Payoff is the new ETF. For some, this will be a good deal, but I think for most they will regret the 3 years. Just my thoughts

I'm gonna stick with Samsung from now on too. Just have to get through the 3 years. Just switched to Verizon so don't plan on leaving anytime soon.

I hear you but I think these phones easily go to 3 years now with minimal issues.. I have a friend still rocking an S7 with no issues other than it's a little bit slower than I would like but for him it's perfect.,and it doesn't stop you from still picking up a phone outside of Verizon if you want to..

Verizon works good for me. I've been with them for 20 years. It's just a personal thing for me, 3 years is a long time for a phone. I'm not saying it's bad, but something to think about.

Saw Best Buy locations around here have the S22 Ultra in stock in-store now. I had the S22 Ultra in my cart and I applied the trade-in value of the Z Fold 3, but I couldn't pull the trigger. The S22U has better battery life, better cameras, and an integrated S Pen, but it can't fold.

I got the S22U and it's a nice enough phone, but I'm back to using the fold 3.

Definitely hanging onto the Fold 3 until the Fold 4 comes out.
