“Going the back door” with retailers, users can buy Galaxy Z Fold3 at a bargain price

Tram Ho

Recently, Samsung has officially announced the Galaxy Z Fold3 and Galaxy Z Flip3 foldable smartphone duo. In particular, the most prominent and interested is the Galaxy Z Fold3, with a series of important upgrades such as the selfie camera hidden under the screen, S-Pen support, water resistance, Snapdragon 888 chip…

Not only that, the Galaxy Z Fold3 also received another very practical “upgrade”, which is a significantly cheaper price than its predecessors. The expected price of Galaxy Z Fold3 at the moment is 44 million VND for the 256GB version and 47 million VND for the 512GB version. Previously, Galaxy Z Fold2 only had one version with 256GB internal memory and priced at VND 50 million. Thus, it can be seen that the Galaxy Z Fold3 is both more modern and cheaper.

However, that is still not the final number. Because in fact, if users negotiate with resellers, they can own Galaxy Z Fold3 at a much more comfortable price.

Samsung “relaxed” price policy

In many previous super product launches, Samsung always has gift sets that come with the device. The purpose of this is to push the list price up, while still making the user feel satisfied. This is a “trick” that has been applied by Samsung for many years on the S / Note lines to help its products get the same price as Apple’s latest iPhone line.

On the previous Galaxy Fold and Galaxy Z Fold2 lines, because the audience of this model has a “rich” financial position and is not interested in reducing the price, so Samsung also knows this and doesn’t have too many policies. gift book. As noted by us, last year’s Galaxy Z Fold2 did not come with too many incentives, and most users are still willing to buy it with the list price of 50 million.

However, when Samsung is trying to boost sales of foldable smartphones by convincing traditional smartphone users to switch, it needs a better pricing strategy. Not only directly discounting products as mentioned above, Samsung also has special promotion policies to help users easily access folding screen smartphones like Galaxy Z Fold3.

“Go backdoors” with retailers to get a good price

Specifically, Galaxy Z Fold3 buyers in Vietnam can choose from a variety of gifts such as leather cases (with S-Pen), Galaxy Buds headphones, bluetooth speakers and vouchers. More interestingly, many dealers allow users to convert these gifts into cash to directly subtract from the machine price.

Due to the policy of Samsung Vietnam, resellers are not allowed to publish this “gift deduction” program publicly. Instead, buyers will be “invited” to contact the call center to talk directly with staff about the final selling price. According to our market reference, the current “except gift” price for the Galaxy Z Fold3 is about VND 39 million, which means that it is VND 5 million cheaper than the listed price.

However, this price may even continue to decrease in the near future, when Samsung announces the official price. The above 44/47 million price of Galaxy Z Fold3 is just an “expected” number given by Samsung, and this company often tends to offer a lower official price than the expected price.

According to a representative of a retail system who asked for permission to remain anonymous, the “real value” of the Galaxy Z Fold3 is expected to be in the range of VND 37 to 38 million.

Without Galaxy Note, Samsung will choose Galaxy Z Fold3 to compete with iPhone 13 “

With no new generation of Galaxy Note released this year, Samsung seems to be leaving a big hole when it doesn’t have a product that directly competes with the upcoming iPhone 13 generation. . The Galaxy S21 Ultra is still a good flagship, but its appeal has faded over time and makes it difficult to compete with the iPhone 13.

This year, Samsung focused all its efforts on folding screen smartphones and did not announce the new Galaxy Note

Now, with this new pricing policy, it can be seen that Samsung is trying to fill that big hole with the Galaxy Z Fold3. Based on previous price history, the 256GB iPhone 13 Pro Max will most likely have a list price of VND38 million, equivalent to the actual price of the 256GB Galaxy Z Fold3. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Fold3 has a much more unique design, bringing a completely new experience to the user, along with the advantages of a large screen and the ability to support work with the S-Pen.

Of course, in the end, a smartphone like the Galaxy Z Fold3 no matter how high the price or the folding screen, is still just an Android phone. Convincing iOS users to switch to Android will be a difficult task, but with the new pricing policy, that task will probably become a lot easier for Samsung.
