As part of the Samsung Galaxy Upgrade program, if you exchange Galaxy Note 7 unit for Samsung Galaxy S7 or S7 edge, you will be eligible for upgrade to Samsung Galaxy S8 or Note 8. However, this offer is pegged at 50 percent discount. This means you have to pay 50 percent of the cost to obtain Galaxy S8 or Note 8.
The deal works out like this
If you own Samsung Galaxy Note 7
Exchange it for Samsung Galaxy S7 or Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge
Get Samsung Galaxy S8 or Samsung Galaxy Note 8 at 50 percent discount
As a customer, you will have to shell out 50% of the cost of their Galaxy S7 phone. Moreover, you can avail 50 percent discount on LCD repair costs twice. If the display gets damaged, you only need to pay 50 percent of repair costs.
The upgrade program is currently available only in South Korea until November 30. If you already exchanged Samsung Galaxy Note 7 for a Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 Edge, you will be eligible for the offer. Samsung will reveal details of the steps required to join the program soon.
We don’t have any information about the availability of the exchange program in other countries. We expect Samsung to extend the exchange program to emerging markets like India within the next few months.
