Students and teachers can snag a discount on the new Samsung Galaxy Note 10 line
9

This past week, Samsung introduced the Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+. The former starts at $949.99 and the latter at $1,099.99. The Note 10 has 8GB of memory and 256GB of storage while the Note 10+ has 12GB of memory and also offers 256GB of storage (for an additional $100 you can bump the storage on the Note 10+ to 512GB). So there is no denying that purchasing one of Sammy's latest and greatest phones requires the buyer to dig deep into his or her pockets. Yes, there are various trade-in plans (Samsung will give you up to $600 for a qualified trade) and the U.S. carriers have their promotions, many of which have a catch tied to them.
So there is no such thing as a free lunch when it comes to buying one of Samsung's new Galaxy Note 10 phones. Or is there? It doesn't sound like much, but if you are a student or a teacher and buy your new Note through Samsung, you can save 7.5% on the price of the handset. After computing the discount under the company's Student & Educator Discount Program, the Galaxy Note 10 drops to $878.74 for a savings of $71.25. The same discount applied to the 256GB and 512GB Galaxy Note 10+ results in a price cut of $82.50 ($1,017.49) and $90 ($1,109.99), respectively.
To qualify for the Student & Educator Discount Program you need a school email address
Samsung is also rewarding Note 10 buyers with a $100 gift card and those picking up a Note 10+ will receive a $150 gift card. So technically, the manufacturer is funding those who are willing to pay the extra $100 to move up to the 512GB version of the larger model and it leaves $50 for a case or another accessory. Those who pre-order one of the new handsets will also receive a 6 month Spotify Premium trial, and four months of YouTube Premium.
Qualifying for the Student & Educator discount is pretty simple. All you need is a qualifying school email address, which is relayed to Samsung on the manufacturer's special webpage found right here. The program started earlier this year with an 8% discount on the Galaxy S10 line. And if you do qualify, it doesn't cost anything to join the program which discounts Samsung products by as much as 30%.

The Galaxy Note 10 is equipped with a 6.3-inch Dynamic AMOLED display sporting a resolution of 1080 x 2280; that works out to a tall and thin 19:9 aspect ratio. Under the hood, you'll find Qualcomm's current top-of-the-line Snapdragon 855 Mobile Platform in the states while the just introduced Exynos 9825 powers the device elsewhere. The triple camera setup in back includes a 12MP variable aperture (F1.5/F2.4) camera, a 12MP telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom, and a 16MP Ultra-wide camera. In front is the punch-hole 10MP selfie snapper. The phone comes with an in-screen ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, and with an IP68 rating, the device is impervious to dust. It also can be submerged in nearly 5 feet of water for as long as 30 minutes. Wireless PowerShare allows the back of the phone to be used as a wireless charging pad to power up the Samsung Galaxy Buds or a compatible phone. A 3500mAh battery keeps the Galaxy Note 10's lights on and when you need to plug into an outlet, the phone supports 25W charging. The latest iteration of the S Pen is included in the box.
