Objectively speaking, the Galaxy Note 9 is one of the best (if not the best) smartphone up for grabs today, with an almost flawless (albeit repetitive) design, a large and incredibly sharp “Infinity” screen, powerful processor, plenty of memory and storage space, versatile cameras, huge battery, and a smarter than ever S Pen in tow.
But that also means it doesn’t come cheap, which is why Samsung, Best Buy, Amazon, and America’s “big four” carriers have been trying to sweeten the deal with (small) discounts and (decent) gifts since the handset was originally released.
The latest promotion comes from Best Buy and is not exactly earth-shattering, but on the bright side, at least you don’t need to trade anything in to save a few hundred bucks. Instead, you’re simply required to sign one of those standard monthly installment agreements.
You’ll still have to pay quite a bit of money every month for a minimum of two years, with a gift card and fast charge wireless charging stand included at no extra cost. You’re looking at a free $150 Best Buy e-coupon and a Qi charging accessory typically worth $60 or so, amounting to a solid $210 in savings.
Sprint subscribers will need to cough up $41.58 a month for two years to qualify for the two freebies, with the Verizon-specific Note 9 model fetching 24 payments of $41.67 each, and the AT&T variant setting you back 30 $33.34 installments. Across the board, that adds up to around $1,000, which is not an easy figure to swallow, but actually feels fair when you think about it.
After all, this bad boy can accommodate a whopping 128 gigs of data internally, not to mention its support for up to 512GB additional microSD storage.
