So Samsung is “offering” Black Friday deals. Before you add a trade in the price is 1349 right? The website says 1349 before eligible trade in. Add a s23 ultra or z fold 4 and it brings it down to 599. They “value” those phones at 1000. How does 1349-1000= 599? The math ain’t mathing.

    I don’t understand the confusion. 1349 is the promotional pricing before any trade-in. 1599 is the price with a trade-in.

    With a trade-in, the promotional price ceases because it’s no longer “before any trade-in”. I’m sure it’s in the t&c somewhere. The phrasing “pricing before trade-in” makes me believe that the price would not be the same with a trade-in.

    Is it potentially misleading? Yes.

    Is it spelt out to you once you input the necessary information? Also yes.

    It’s just another marketing thing.
