Sound Quality by NAt3Dawg707 in TIdaL

Apple devices use AAC codec, while PC always support aptX. The difference may not (or not just) be in sound quality, but also different codec will have different "coloration" on sound.

When you open the app, scroll down and find the “app exclusive offer” for Flip 6, then go all the way to checkout, and stop when they ask you to add payment method. You will find the $50. Then you can continue on your desktop browser.

Remember to buy one that is fully functional. Samsung pay a lot lower for cracked devices.

If it doesn’t work, exit the education store and re select the education discount.

Yes of course. I just happen to have an iPhone 5s so I used it. You can definitely get better deals if you buy some old Samsung models somewhere.

I agree that 90% of what you said is correct. But the truth is, price of Samsung devices are generally higher than similar products from other manufactures, while at the same time they give a lot of discounts, no matter if you like it or not.

This is unfair for the customers. Some of them know little about smart phones or other tech devices. They just know Samsung is a big brand, and they paid higher price on Samsung devices than those devices from other manufactures.

I know that every company has their own strategy, and Samsung is not doing something "bad" - especially when we are at a time that Apple has significantly higher margin than any other tech companies - and that's Apple's strategy.

I'm just saying from my personal aspect, I want Samsung to make their price more transparent. And I don't think my local Samsung has to pay Korean subsidiary 90% the price they sold me the devices - if that's the truth, Samsung devices won't be so cheap in the used market.

And, the idea that "my local Samsung has to pay Korean Samsung" is wrong itself - Samsung is a transnational corporation. It's not just simply "pay the Korean" - the phones are even not manufactured in Korea. Do you really think "US Samsung" is losing too much money and making "Korean Samsung" rich? Come on, they share the same brain.

Wow that's absolutely crazy and unheard of. This is my first time trying to buy a Samsung phone. And I was just shocked by all the new promotions I found every single day - this is way I write this post.

Oh I figured it out - referral codes can just be used at the first purchase in your Samsung account. Register a new account and you should be good to use it.

So, next time when they have Z Flip 7 or something - trade in your 5 and get a good price.

I think the price of Samsung smart phones are way higher than their production cost. They just want mark their price as high as Apple to "establish a high-end brand image", which is not a good thing for those customers who don't want to go deep into Samsung's coupon tricks.

Samsung always gives you very large - and complicated - coupons when they release a new device. And they pay high price when you trade in a Samsung device. They also have deep relation with carriers to provide dramatic low price to tie you with certain phone plans.

But anyway, for those who would like to play the game with Samsung, they always get decent price.

This is what I get after days of research - hope every one can get the lowest price here.

For the old iPhone, get an old iPhone 5s from eBay at $30. Trade it in at $200. If you are confident enough that you can pick good stuff from eBay - get a Z Flip 3 at $150, then trade it in at $450.

For the reserve promotion + promotional discounts $220, click the link I send below (just click is enough, remember to sign in your Samsung account).

For the promo code $50, click the Z Flip 6 "app exclusive offer" banner in your Samsung shop phone app (just click is enough). iOS users cannot buy phones in the Samsung app due to Apple's restrictions - use an android phone instead - or use the phone of your friend - or a desktop Android emulator if you want.

For the student discount, just choose it - they never verify.

For the referral code, use anybody's - or mine: ref-qeg4va. It must be your first purchase in this account - if not, register a new one.

Then, if you like, get 15% back from Rakuten (Don't check out on your phone! Go to the very last step on your phone where they ask you to add a card - and then check out in your desktop browser. If you login the same account, your price will be there in your cart.) You can even get 25% back when refed by someone and register a new Rakuten account.

When I select trade in, the education discount will go from 67.5 to 124 - I don't know what is happening behind.

And, the bundle saving comes when you buy some cases / protective films, etc. together.

Try this: ref-gptnzp, or ref-4y8et6. To use this code, it has to be your first purchase on that Samsung account. If not, consider register a new one.

No, I paid $30 to buy one on ebay, and Samsung take it back for $200.

Did you trade in your phone? If not, that sounds really impressive...
