Samsung has announced the Samsung Galaxy S25 EDGE, the new thin and light version of its intelligent phone Flagship Galaxy S25.
As our practical review details of Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, we have faced this new and exciting phone, months after he mocked for the first time in the unpaid event of Samsung Galaxy of January 2025.
However, the revelation of the Galaxy S25 Edge is only one side of the story: together with the new phone, Samsung presented the new Galaxy Club, which, despite its name, is nothing exclusive, but a new way of paying Galaxy phones.
Galaxy Club’s new offer varies according to whether it is in the United States or the United Kingdom. At the time of writing, I can’t see an equivalent offer available in Australia.
New Galaxy Club: US version.
In the United States, New Galaxy Club is a charged subscription rate in addition to the total or financed telephone price. This subscription includes Samsung Care+ Protection and the option to obtain up to 50% of the price of your phone returned as a credit if you choose to update after 12 successful monthly payments.
The subscription costs $ 6.20 per month for the Galaxy S25 and $ 8.33 per month for the Galaxy S25 Plus, Galaxy S25 Ultra and New Galaxy S25 Edge. It is not available in other models.
If, after 12 months, choose update, Samsung will offer some type of credit depending on how you paid the phone. If you paid your phone with Samsung Financing, Samsung will pay the remaining balance, without credit for your next phone. If you paid in full or for payment in 4 installments, Samsung will offer you an exchange credit for 50% of your original device.
It is worth noting that your Samsung Care+ package will continue at full price after the 12 -month period has increased. At the end of the purchase, this plan is listed as the coverage of theft and loss, but the terms and conditions for the new Galaxy club suggest that the coverage of theft and loss is No Including: We have communicated with Samsung to clarify this.
New Galaxy Club: UK version
In the United Kingdom, New Galaxy Club has a very different structure, launching the financing of a new phone with the opportunity to save in an update in a single package.
The United Kingdom version of the scheme offers a 24 -month interest without interest, with a 10% deposit paid in advance and the rest in monthly installments. Between 12 and 15 months after the start of the loan, customers can choose to update to a new Galaxy phone, with at least 50% of the price of the original device returned as a combination of loan liquidation and exchange credit.
If you are the type of person who updates your Samsung Galaxy phone every year, these programs could be of some benefit, only keep in mind that the offer is not a conventional subscription in the United States, and the United Kingdom version is a loan that you can pay. Read the terms and conditions carefully before registering.
Is it worth registering the new Galaxy Club?
The new Galaxy Club program is actually soft on May 6, but Samsung has apparently saved its great impulse to coincide with the launch of the Galaxy S25 Edge.
Not all reactions have been positive, as suggested by the criticisms of the Android Police and annoying redditors, these plans may not offer the best long -term value, especially considering that Samsung tends to offer excellent agreements and exchange promotions every time a new Galaxy phone is launched.
However, as 9to5google points out, there is still some value for users who want to pay monthly by a phone and In general, it would arise for Samsung Care+ coverage anyway.
Personally, I believe that each user should consider their needs carefully before opting for the new Galaxy club, with my main concern that I could make it difficult or more expensive to change to another phone brand in the future.
Even so, if you are a staunch fan of the best Samsung phones, it could be worth considering New Galaxy Club. Let us know what you think of this Samsung scheme relaunched in the comments below.
