Samsung Fold Insurance

When you’ve finally got your hands on such a great piece of mobile phone tech, you’ll want great value mobile phone insurance to keep your Samsung phone safe. Here are just six reasons why.

1. Big price tag. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, this is an expensive phone.
2. Susceptible to damage. Samsung devices are known for being beautifully designed and well manufactured phones. However, such a large folding screen makes them more susceptible to accidental damage than traditional smartphones.
3. Expensive to replace. With such a large price tag, if you need to replace a lost, damaged or stolen Fold phone then it'll cost you. Samsung electronics are not cheap to repair or replace.
4. Cases only provide so much protection. There are some excellent phone cases out there but that doesn’t completely protect your Samsung phone from accidental damage. And certainly won’t stop mechanical breakdowns or malfunctions.
5. Thieves love them. Such a top-of-the-range Samsung phone will always be a target for opportunistic phone thieves.
6. Offers much more than the Samsung manufacturers’ warranty. A warranty is great for covering any early teething problems with your Samsung device, but if you want long-term protection you really need phone insurance from a specialist like Gadget Cover.  

When you’re considering whether or not to buy mobile phone insurance for your Samsung Fold, ask yourself the following questions:

1. If my Z Fold was lost, damaged or stolen, would I have the money to repair or replace it myself?
2. If I had to repair or replace my Z Fold, could I still afford everyday essentials?
3. Would I be happy using another device while my Z Fold is being repaired or replaced?
4. Was my Z Fold phone bought on contract? Or did I buy it outright?
5. Do I have a previous history of lost, damaged or stolen phones?
