Samsung is offering consumers with huge freebies provided they purchase one of their flaghsip smartphones. Users who opt to buy a Samsung Galaxy S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge+ or Note 5 until Nov. 22 will get $350 worth of free stuff, Tech Times reports.
People who buy any of the said devices can choose between two holiday packages, the Swarovski Holiday Bundle or the Level On Holiday Bundle, as stated in Samsung's online promotional content. Customers who pick the Swarovski package gets a portable, rapid-charge battery pack, a wireless charger, and a premium case littered with Swarovski crystals. Buyers who opt for the Level On bundle will receive the same battery pack and charger and an additional pair of Samsung's Level On headphones.
The South Korea-based tech firm is also offering $50 rebate for smartphone users who have yet to sign up and activate the Samsung Pay app. Droid Life shared that users must sign up for the service with a compatible smartphone as well as add a supported card to Samsung Pay to qualify for the rebate.
Currently, Samsung Pay supports cards issued by Bank of America, Citi, US Bank, Synchrony Financial, and American Express. Samsung devices that are compatible with the Samsung Pay service are the Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge, Galaxy Note 5, and Galaxy S6 Edge+. The rebate program runs from Nov. 5 to 19.
In another Samsung-related development, CNet.com reports that the tech company may sell the Samsung Galaxy S7 cheaper than its predecessor, the Galaxy S6. The report is based on a prediction by a China-based market analyst Pan Jiutang, who projected that Samsung will be looking to adjust the prices of the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge to to generate sales growth.
Such prediction is feasible, according to experts. Samsung has seen their sales decline early this year as competition with Apple in the high-end market, Xiaomi and Huawei in the low-end, continues to tighten. Lowering the prices for their flagship smartphones is indeed a good move for Samsung, CNet.com's Lawrence Whitney wrote.
