This gives me room to spend on a better phone (again, thanks to promo vouchers and discounts) as opposed to waiting for the 24-month cycle for a flagship and paying a bundle monthly.



Key things to remember, if you're aiming for a flagship Samsung phone in the future:

• Keep your current phone as pristine as possible
• Best time to buy is within 48 hours of launch date (so look up when the Galaxy S or Fold typically launch)
• In anticipation of the launch, sign up for a NEW Samsung.com PH account (instant ₱1,000 discount on your first order)
• Sign up for the unpacked event for the phone launch (this will give you at least a ₱5,000 discount - this year, it inflates to a ₱17,000 discount if you trade in your phone)
• Sign up for the ₱500 Samsung Rewards+ (which became a ₱3,000 voucher this year for the S25 launch)
• It may also be a good idea to talk to the chat support agents on Samsung.com on the day of the launch as they sometimes give vouchers (only if you ask)
• Choose the trade-in option, the appraisal price will look disappointing but that's fine as one or two vouchers will be increased to compensate

Naka order na ko ng S24 Plus. Nung una the plan was to go for the S25 Ultra but no bluetooth S Pen ruined it for me. Anyway as time went on, I realize hindi ko naman talaga need. I still have an S23 Ultra in superb condition. An A55 daily driver. So I cancelled my order. Better save it for the Switch 2 and the IP 17 series na lang

Sana next year mas ok yung irelease na S26 Ultra as well as the discounts/vouchers para matuloy ko na pag trade in ko ng S21U na may green line
