Battery life (i.e. longevity)

[johne53]

I need to update my old HTC smartphone and I'd been considering the Galaxy Z Fold 2 - until I realised the battery's apparently not replaceable. And it seems to be getting sold (in most places) with just a 12 month warranty.

So what happens if I buy this very expensive phone and the battery dies after 14 months? Is my only option to scrap the phone??

Here you go.

From https://www.samsung.com/uk/trade-in/ 

" If you exercise your right to cancel and return the new phone during the 28-day cooling-off period, we will endeavour to return your trade-in phone, but this cannot be guaranteed. In the event the old phone cannot be returned MTR will provide you with a cash equivalent price for the old phone based on the price currently payable for your old phone on the Samsung Recycle website (www.samsungrecycle.co.uk). "

One last question (hopefully...)

I've found some pages on the Samsung UK site offering deals for the new Galaxy Fold3 with various contracts from some network providers (O2 / Vodaphone etc) but I can't find anything similar for the Flip3. Are phone+service deals only available for Fold3 purchases?

Hi @johne53 

Yes these are the current phone's Samsung offer through a network contract.

The flip³ isn't currently an option.
