(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Chae Sae-rom = Samsung Electronics’ Galaxy S21 will start opening on the 22nd after 7 days of advance reservation from the 15th to the 21st.
Telecom companies set out to attract customers by setting the amount of public announcement subsidy twice compared to the previous Galaxy S20 reservation. However, in most rate plans, it is more advantageous to receive an optional contract discount on the communication fee rather than the publicly disclosed subsidy.
According to the industry on the 22nd, the three mobile telecommunication companies set a maximum of 500,000 won for the announcement of the Galaxy S21.
LG U+ announced a subsidy of 268,000 to 500,000 won for each rate plan on the start date of the pre-reservation, and KT and SK Telecom, which announced less public subsidies, subsequently raised the public subsidy.
KT has set a public announcement subsidy of 260,000 to 500,000 won for each plan, and SK Telecom of 270,000 to 500,000 won. Existing notices and public announcement subsidies were 100,000-240,000 won for KT and 87,000-170,000 won for SK Telecom.
When a consumer buys a product through a telecommunications company, he or she can subscribe to one of the public announcement subsidies and optional contract discounts. If you select the public subsidy, you will receive a discount of a fixed amount for each plan from the smartphone price, and if you select the optional contract discount, you will receive a 25% discount on the monthly rate.
Although it depends on the rate plan and the publicly disclosed subsidy for each carrier, it is most advantageous to choose a discount for the optional contract because the 5G plan itself is expensive.
For example, if you subscribe to LG U+’s 85,000 won plan and purchase the Galaxy S21 with a factory price of 999,000 won, you will receive 500,000 won in public subsidies and 570,000 won additional subsidies (up to 15% of the public subsidies). Get a discount of 1,000 won. The actual purchase price is 424,000 won.
If you receive an optional contract discount instead of the public subsidy, 25% of the monthly fee will be discounted for 24 months, and the amount will be 510,000 won.
In the case of LG U+, it is more advantageous to choose the public subsidy if you subscribe to a rate plan of 95,000 won or less, and it is more advantageous to receive an optional contract discount for a rate plan of 95,000 won or more. However, even in this case, the premise of receiving the maximum amount of additional subsidies must be satisfied.
It is advantageous for SK Telecom and KT to make optional agreements in all sections.
Consumers who want to save on communication costs can purchase self-sufficient phones from manufacturers or distributors and sign up for an affordable phone plan.
If you purchase a self-contained phone, you do not have to use a specific plan or additional service. In particular, 5G phones can also be used as LTE plans, unlike mobile carrier sales models that require a 5G plan.
According to Samsung Electronics, the proportion of self-sufficient phones in advance reservations for the Galaxy S21 has tripled from last year’s Galaxy S20.
