I'm pretty sure you save more money if you resell your S7Edge at market price and purchase the S8 at RRP instead of paying RM1399 to upgrade to a S8 (assuming RRP of S7Edge is RM2799)
When S8/Note 8 out, Garage Sales, Mudah, Lelong.my, Carousell will be full of S7edge and that time i reckon the value will be at around 1.5k. (Quite a few selling at 1.8k now).
I would say this is a smart move from Samsung, and it is worth it to upgrade to S8/Note 8 by paying half of S7edge price. (Assume s7edge RRP 2799, you have to pay 1399).
Calculations:
Upgrade to S8, with current N7 owner exchange to s7edge:
RM2879-RM300=RM2579
S8 half of S7edge price = RM1399 (assume RRP S7e at 2799 by that time)
Total you pay: 3978
Current N7 owner exchange to s7edge:
RM2879-RM300=RM2579
Resell your S7edge when S8 launch:
RM2579-RM1500=RM1079
Buy new S8 at RRP (assume no discount):
RM3099 (assume same price with s7edge at launch)
Total you pay : 1079+3099 = RM4178
