Samsung allows 100-day return window for Z Fold2 and Z Flip 5G in the US – GSMArena.com news – GSMArena.com
Samsung is enacting a new way to entice customers to try one of the company’s foldable smartphones. Samsung will let anyone who purchases a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 5G or Galaxy Z Flip 5G to “Buy and try” either of the phones, extending the return period to 100 days.
If you purchase a Galaxy Z Flip 5G for $1,200 or a Galaxy Z Fold2 5G for $2,000, Samsung will offer you a 100-day return window to decide if you’re not happy living with a Samsung foldable. For reference, Best Buy’s return window for smartphones is 14 days (with a restocking fee if opened) and Samsung’s online store allows a 15-day window.
Customers will be eligible for up to $550 in trade-in credit with eligible trade-ins. In addition, buyers will receive a $200 credit towards Samsung accessories. To clarify, the 100-day return window will only be available for purchases directly from Samsung’s online store and only when purchasing a phone through April 1.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 and Galaxy Z Flip 5G
I contacted Samsung Support to find out what happens to a trade-in if you decide you don’t want the foldable anymore. Since the trade-in value is instant, you’ll buy the foldable at a discounted price. If you decide to return the phone, you’ll receive a refund for the phone’s full price.
But what happens if you use Samsung’s $200 promotional credit towards accessories after you return the phone? It turns out that you’ll have to either return the items or get charged for the credit amount.

Important updates regarding the Bob-Birnie Arena
|
The City of Pointe-Claire would like to inform you that the Bob-Birnie arena will be closed for its annual maintenance as of Monday, April 29. The Annex rink will reopen to the public on Monday, May 13, and the arena’s Main rink will be accessible as of Monday, June 3.
Public skating will resume on May 13, and the summer public activities programming will begin on June 3 when both rinks have reopened to the public.
In addition to the annual maintenance of the facility, two renovation projects are also scheduled to start at the same time:
Installation of new sound systems
The City will be replacing its current sound systems in both the Main rink and Annex rink, to offer arena visitors a better overall experience, whether watching from the stands or participating in on-ice activities. This project is expected to be conducted throughout the month of May.
Renovation of locker rooms in the Main Rink
The City will also be renovating the five locker rooms located in the Main rink, to bring up to date the amenities currently available to participants. These renovations are expected to begin in early May and will be completed by mid-August.
For all information about the Bob-Birnie arena, visit the arena’s page on our website.

Surprise Apple Event Hints at First New iPads in Years – CNET
We haven’t seen a new iPad in years, but Apple seems likely to change that in just a few weeks. All signs point to the release of new iPad models in the first week of May.
This morning, I received an email invite for a virtual Apple event, scheduled for May 7 at 7 a.m. PT (10 a.m. ET). The invite, which says “Let Loose,” shows a drawing of a hand holding an Apple Pencil. Considering the iPad is the only device that uses the Pencil — that doesn’t leave much to the imagination.
Apple’s been expected to release new OLED-screened iPad Pros with newly designed Pencils and Magic Keyboard cases. New iPad Airs are also expected, including a larger-screened 12.9-inch model. Apple’s iPad Air lineup tends to be slightly redesigned versions of previous-model iPad Pros, so just look to the M2 iPad Pro lineup for a sense of what the next Airs could be. These would be the first new iPads since the iPad Pro M2 model arrived in late 2022.
