QUOTE(aspire2oo6 @ Jan 7 2025, 12:37 PM) Some items are priced more based on perceived value than their actual worth. For example, a product from another brand might cost RM100, but Samsung might price it at RM200 because of its brand value. A good example is my Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra—it retailed for RM3,200, but I got it for RM2,200 with freebies. Another example is the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra 256GB. On Shopee during sales, you can get it for as low as RM3,700, while the retail price in Samsung stores is still RM6,200. Why the big difference? It’s not that Samsung is selling at a loss—it’s about perceived value. The higher retail price makes it seem more premium, but online sales cut into that margin to attract buyers. What I usually do is wait 2 to 3 months after the launch and then buy online. After that, I add Samsung Care, and even with that, the final price is still cheaper than the pre-order price. It’s all about being patient and smart with your timing! R u buying the 25 ultra bro? |

QUOTE(Confession @ Jan 7 2025, 10:29 PM) how does spaylater works? auto deduct from cc monthly like typical installment plan? SPayLater works kind of like a credit card but isn’t actually a credit card. it’s exclusive to Shopee. First, you’ll need to register using your IC, and once they verify your details, they’ll give you a credit limit. It could be anywhere between RM100 to RM5,000, depending on their checking la When you find something you like, SPayLater will show up as a payment option during checkout. You can choose to pay in installments ranging from 1 month to 12 months, but not every option is 0% interest. Some sellers offer only 1-month or 3-month plans, while others go up to 6 months. So far, I’ve never seen anything beyond 6 months. The best part is ? You don’t have to use SPayLater for the full amount you can split it. Pay part of it with SPayLater and balance with cash or other payment methods; it’s all up to you la. This post has been edited by aspire2oo6: Jan 8 2025, 07:38 AM |

QUOTE(KenYoung @ Jan 8 2025, 04:04 AM) R u buying the 25 ultra bro? I’m still deciding. Now, I’m pretty happy with my Samsung S24 Ultra, and even if I do decide to buy, I’ll probably wait at least 3 months after launch to think about it. Honestly, though, I’ve been leaning more towards the Apple ecosystem lately it’s growing on me more and more. This post has been edited by aspire2oo6: Jan 8 2025, 07:36 AM |

So the pre-order bonus is just.... either RM200 for registering OR RM600 (spend RM100 to buy the voucher, non refundable)?
Wonder any trade in bonuses....
Anyone have previous years experience, once S25 announced will S24 series still be sold on samsung website?

Anyone have previous years experience, once S25 announced will S24 series still be sold on samsung website? Yes, once the S25 Ultra comes out, the older models will drop in price, and there’ll be even better offers later. Let me emphasize it’s never worth pre-ordering if you understand Samsung’s marketing. They follow Google’s ZMOT strategy (7-11-4) the S24 Ultra is already as low as RM3.7k on Shopee sales, down from RM6.2k. I’ve also figured out how the trade-in bonus works it doesn’t really matter how much your device is worth, as long as you trade something in. I traded in an old Samsung Note 9 for RM100 (market value around RM400), but I still got a RM600 bonus. |

can i check if my understanding is correct? with regards to the RM100 for RM600 voucher. in the end we are getting RM500 rebate right?
The RM600 e-voucher is derived from an RM400 rebate, plus an additional RM200 rebate (if you have successfully registered your interest).
So, RM600 less RM100 to pay for the voucher = RM500?
not withstanding trade in rebate.
plus can purchase the voucher up til 23 Jan, still got time to decide...

Is it still worth to get S24 when S25 is launched, assuming the price will go down? Anything that I am missing not getting the latest S25?
