Samsung Electronics has started pre-sales of the 11th model in its Galaxy S series, the Galaxy S20 series, from the 20th to the 26th. The official domestic release date is March 6. The Galaxy S20 is known for its 108-megapixel camera combined with the largest image sensor ever and artificial intelligence, enabling clear and bright shooting in any environment. It also supports 5G mobile communication and is equipped with a high-capacity battery ranging from 4000 to 5000mAh.
The Galaxy S20 series is released in three models: Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20 Plus, and Galaxy S20 Ultra. The Galaxy S20 comes in 128GB Cosmic Gray, Cloud Blue, Cloud White, and Cloud Blue colors, priced at 1,248,500 KRW. The Galaxy S20 Plus and Galaxy S20 Ultra are released in 256GB models, with the Galaxy S20 Plus available in Cosmic Gray, Cloud Blue, Cloud White, Aura Blue, and Aura Red at 1,353,000 KRW, and the Galaxy S20 Ultra in Cosmic Gray and Cosmic Black at 1,595,000 KRW.
Pre-order customers for the Galaxy S20 will begin activation sequentially from February 27, and those who complete activation by March 5 will receive manufacturer gifts such as the AI home speaker Galaxy Home Mini or the small memo printer Nemonic Mini. Additionally, they can receive a display damage replacement cost support insurance service (limited to once per year at 50% coverage). Furthermore, customers participating in pre-orders through smartphone retailers can receive device price discounts on top of manufacturer benefits, making it apparent that consumers seeking smart purchases are looking for retailers offering higher device price support.
In this situation, the Naver smartphone group-buying cafe ‘Gasimbi Mall’ is running a promotion offering a 50% discount on the device price for Samsung Galaxy S20 pre-orders. It is known that when applying for pre-orders through this cafe, customers receive manufacturer gifts and a 50% discount on the device price, along with additional overlapping discount coupons, leading to a surge in pre-order inquiries due to the exceptional benefits. In addition to pre-orders, prices for existing smartphone models have dropped significantly, with Galaxy Note 9 and Galaxy S10 seeing dramatic price reductions.

This promotion includes not only the half-price pre-order for the Galaxy S20 but also double benefits for pre-orders of the Galaxy Z Flip and iPhone 9 models, along with spectacular discount events on existing smartphone models, selling Galaxy S10 and S10e at the lowest prices. Moreover, the 5G entry-level model Galaxy A90 is being sold at the lowest price with installment payments starting from zero won, attracting continuous inquiries from customers looking to purchase smartphones for elderly parents or nearly free phones.
Additionally, Apple’s popular model iPhone 11 is available for purchase at up to 40% off, with promotions including AirPods Pro and gift certificates. The iPhone X is also being sold in the 100,000 KRW range, showing a significant increase in purchases of last year’s models.
Furthermore, ahead of the new school semester, models such as SK Cookiez Mini, LG X2 ZEM Kids Phone, and LG Kakao Little Friends Phone 3 are showing steady demand. With kids phone discount promotions underway for the new semester, demand from consumers wishing to purchase phones for their children is explosively increasing.
A representative of the cafe stated, “Among the Galaxy S20 series, pre-order inquiries for the Galaxy S20 Ultra have been overwhelmingly high,” and added, “With the public announcement of subsidies reducing the device price burden, inquiries surged as customers encountered the cafe’s 50% device price discount plus additional overlapping discount benefits.” They also said, “Since special sales events for existing smartphone models are ongoing, we ask for much interest from customers wishing to purchase at the lowest prices.”
