Hotdealphone, Galaxy S10 and iPhone 8ㆍ11 Discounts for Lunar New Year Ahead of Galaxy S20 Launch 'Special Prices Available Year-Round'

Samsung Electronics' Galaxy Unpacked event, where the next models including the Galaxy S20 and Galaxy Z Flip are expected to be unveiled, is now just over a month away.

The S series, which is usually released in the first half of the year, has changed its naming from Galaxy S11 to Galaxy S20 to match the release year, and is known to feature Samsung's first 108-megapixel camera and 100x optical zoom, receiving praise for its innovative advancements.

Additionally, the naming of the newly unveiled foldable phone has also changed; instead of the initially expected Galaxy Fold 2, it is expected to be released as the Galaxy Z Flip.

The Galaxy Z Flip differs from the existing Galaxy Fold in that it features a clamshell form factor that folds vertically, and is expected to lead the popularization of foldable phones by being offered at a more affordable mid-range price in the 1 million KRW range, significantly cheaper than its predecessor which exceeded 2 million KRW.

As Samsung's new models approach release, the online smartphone group-buying cafe ‘Hot Deal Phone’, with 280,000 active members, announced a special Lunar New Year promotion offering discounts on various models, leading to a significant increase in consumer demand due to the wider range of choices.

According to the details, following the release of the Galaxy S20, the prices of the Galaxy Note 9 and Galaxy S10 have dropped sharply to the 200,000 KRW and 100,000 KRW ranges respectively, and the Galaxy S9 is now available for free.

The special promotion also includes iPhones.

The iPhone X is available in the 200,000 KRW range, the iPhone 7 can be purchased for 0 KRW, and the highly popular iPhone 8, which caused a frenzy earlier last year, has been restocked as ‘golden inventory’ and is available for around 100,000 KRW, attracting many buyers.

Furthermore, premium gifts such as the iPad 7 and AirPods 2 PRO, previously offered only with the iPhone 11 series, are now also provided with the iPhone XS and XR series, boosting orders significantly.

A representative from Hot Deal Phone stated, “In celebration of the nation’s major holiday, Lunar New Year, we have worked hard to prepare abundant benefits. In addition to price discounts, customers who post review verifications on Instagram will receive gifts such as QCY Bluetooth earphones, JBL Bluetooth speakers, and lucky bag plaster air fresheners.
