This is it. The Galaxy S21 series and Buds Pro are available to purchase now on all Samsung concept stores and resellers nationwide. If you are looking for the best deals though, you might want to bring your old working smartphone to trade in with Samsung’s latest flagship devices.

Samsung’s “Trade-Up and Save” promo that is currently ongoing from the start of January until the end of March bags you huge discounts when you trade in your old smartphone. Through the trade-in program, you get a corresponding valuation for your old smartphone which will be deducted from the retail price of any Samsung device that you’re eyeing.

The keyword here is “any” since you get corresponding discounts regardless of the Samsung device that you pick. The thing is, discounts are dependent on the valuation of your old smartphone. So, the actual discount that you’re getting depends on what device are you trading in.

As for the Galaxy S21 series, you get additional perks including an added discount of up to PhP 10,000 depending on the device you pick.

To take advantage of the trade-in program, simply visit any participating stores nationwide and present your old smartphone to a point person. The point person will inspect the device and appraise it accordingly. The smartphone needs to be in good working condition. A deduction from the original trade-in value is possible when you trade in a smartphone with some minor defects.

If all goes well, you will get a corresponding voucher which you need to present upon purchase of the Galaxy S21.

Save PhP 1,000 on the Galaxy Buds Pro

Now, here’s another reason why you should really trade your old smartphone for the Galaxy S21. You not only get a huge discount on Samsung’s latest flagship but you also net big savings on the purchase of the Galaxy Buds Pro.

The mechanics are the same as the regular trade-in promo. When you trade-in your old smartphone, you get a corresponding appraisal that acts as a discount on the Samsung device that you choose.

You can either choose to get additional perks for the Samsung device that you’re eyeing or snag the PhP 1,000 discount for the Galaxy Buds Pro. Sadly, you can’t get both — you have to choose wisely.

For both promos, you can turn in more than one smartphone to get discounts on another Samsung device. You can also purchase any Samsung devices through a 0% installment scheme. As for the Galaxy Buds Pro, you can get one for a low price of PhP 416.25 paid every month for two years. Remember, the rade-in promo for the Galaxy Buds Promo is also valid until the end of March.

Hot deal: Buy a Sony Xperia 1 III, get a Sony WH-1000XM4 for free

Match made in Sony heaven

Sony Singapore is offering one hot deal. For every purchase of the Sony Xperia 1 III, buyers will get a free Sony WH-1000XM4! Interested buyers can get either the black or the blue colors for the Xperia 1 III. Promo period is from July 26 to August 8, 2021.

The Sony Xperia 1 III retails for SG$ 1899 while the free Sony WH-1000XM4 originally retails for SG$ 599. Buyers can avail of this deal here.

Xperia 1 III

Sony’s 2021 flagship has power packed hardware. It rocks the latest Snapdragon 888 processor with 5G support and Adreno 660 graphics. It also boasts 12GB of RAM and comes in either 256GB or 512GB storage options.

The 4,500mAh battery may sound like it’s a lot, but Sony’s Adaptive Charging technology gives you the best of power and performance. They’re also promising a 3-year longer lifespan battery compared to conventional smartphone batteries.

It also supports Qi wireless charging and has IP65-68 water/dust resistance just like its predecessor.

The main draw is the Xperia 1 III‘s shooting capabilities. It has triple 12-megapixel cameras for its wide (f/1.7), ultra-wide (f/2.2), and telephoto (f/2.3-2.8) lenses, plus an extra 3D iToF Sensor. But another first in this list is Sony’s variable telephoto lens that supports 70-105mm focal length (equivalent to 2.9x and 4.4x zoom) that can zoom up to 300mm (12.5x) digitally.

Other than that, it’s also the world’s first smartphone that’s capable of shooting 20fps burst mode and has the new Real-time Tracking technology that can focus on moving subjects while shooting.

Sony WH-1000XM4

The Sony WH-1000XM4 is the latest iteration of its over-ear wireless headphones. It’s every bit as good as its predecessor with additional features like Multiple Device Pairing as well as Edge-AI and DSEE Extreme which more accurately rebuilds audio lost during digital compression for a full fidelity experience.

In our co-op review, we called it “The best choice as the premium, everyday headphones. It’s the perfect travel companion — that is, for when we can all actually travel again.”
