  • 5% restocking fee

    5% restocking fee for Galaxy Z Series phones unless it arrived damaged or defective.

Warranty

1-year warranty· starts the day it arrives

Covered

  • Defects in materials and workmanship
    Samsung warrants to the original buyer that the product is free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for the warranty period.
    The period starts on delivery, or for a device on first set-up and activation, whichever comes first.
  • Battery covered below 80%

    The warranty covers batteries only if capacity falls below 80% of rated capacity or the battery leaks, and not if that was caused by a third-party charger, tampering, use in other equipment, outside force, or battery repair not approved by Samsung.

Not covered

  • Water damage
    Damage from liquid, moisture, dampness, sand, dust or dirt is not covered when the exposure is inconsistent with the product's specifications and instructions.
    Exposure within the stated rating is not named as excluded.
  • Accidents and misuse

    Damage caused by accident, misuse, abnormal use, neglect or unusual physical stress is not covered.

  • Scratches and dents

    Scratches, dents and cosmetic damage are not covered.

  • Normal wear and aging

    Ordinary wear and tear is not covered.

  • Damage from repair service or parts not furnished or approved by Samsung is not covered
  • Loss or theft

    The list of external causes that are not covered includes theft.

  • Add Samsung Care+

    Cracked screen repairs $0 per claim. Theft and loss deductible $99 to $199 depending on device. Monthly or one-time 2-year payment.

  • How it gets fixed
    Samsung chooses to repair the defect or replace the product without charge, and may use rebuilt, reconditioned or new parts or products.
    If Samsung finds the product is not covered, you pay all parts, shipping and labor.

Good to know

  • Folding screen
    Separate from the warranty, Samsung's Z-series offer gives one free replacement of the inner (foldable) screen protector within one year of purchase or activation, for damage from any cause such as scratches, bubbles or lifting, except abuse or misuse.
    Later replacements cost $19.99 plus tax. Samsung advises not removing the protector yourself. The Standard Limited Warranty itself says nothing specific about the inner screen beyond its general exclusions (for example pressing on the touch screen with excessive force).
  • Carrier-activated phones

    Contact your carrier about canceling service. You are responsible for the carrier agreement and its fees.

  • Trade-in

    Returning the new device cancels the trade-in, and a trade-in already completed cannot be sent back to you.

  • Free promotional items and bundles

    Return every promotional item for a full refund, or the value of a missing one is taken off the refund.

  • Samsung Care+

    Return a device with Samsung Care+ within 15 days of delivery and the plan is canceled and refunded.

How we read this
  • We read store prices every day and keep every read. The price shown is the newest read from the retailer named.
  • A read older than 36 hours is never shown as the current price. It reads "last seen" and carries no buy link.
  • “30-day low” is the lowest of our own reads for this product in the last 30 days, not a retailer’s claim. We print the number of reads beside it, and we say nothing about a low until a product has a week of reads.
  • “Lowest known”, where it appears, is older price history from published reports and imports. It is shown only when it is lower than the 30-day low, and it is not counted as reads.
  • Our advice comes from the price, the price history and whether a newer model is coming. It never depends on who pays us.
