Therefore, for consumers who want to change their smartphones, now is a good opportunity.
According to the mobile communication industry on the 25th, KT recently raised the public subsidy for the Galaxy S20 Ultra from a maximum of 600,000 won to a maximum of 700,000 won.
However, it is necessary to carefully consider whether to choose between the public subsidy and the optional contract (25% rate discount).
In general, it is advantageous to receive an optional contract when the publicly disclosed subsidy is small, and to receive the publicly disclosed subsidy and additional discounts when the publicly disclosed subsidy is large.
There are additional discounts for each mobile phone dealership, so if you have the time to spare, going to several retailers and selling leg products will help you to buy the latest smartphones cheaply. Based on the Galaxy S20 Ultra, the factory price of this product is 1.595,000 won in February this year. Currently, it has dropped to 1298,000 won. Therefore, if KT subscribes to the 80,000 won per month rate plan and receives 700,000 won of public support and receives an additional discount (up to 15% of the publicly disclosed support), 805,000 won is discounted and the actual purchase price goes down to 493,000 won. In addition, the actual purchase price will fall even further if the additional discount on credit cards affiliated with the carrier is combined.
Although there are differences between carriers, when a certain amount is used as a partner credit card, an additional discount of about 10,000 to 15,000 or more is provided.
On the other hand, if you sign up for an optional contract with the same plan, the monthly communication fee discount is 20,000 won, and the discount for 24 months is only 480,000 won.
Disclosure subsidies for LG Electronics smartphones are also rising.
LG U+ raised the public subsidies for the latest smartphone Galaxy Note 20 Ultra to a maximum of 650,000 won.
SK Telecom also raised the public subsidy for the Galaxy S20 Ultra to a maximum of 580,000 won.
