Samsung Canada 20% off mobile devices (EPP Venngo)

For a good bit less than that, I ordered both a Xiaomi Mi 10 and a Huawei P40 from AliExpress, for my wife and me, and these two will have an equivalent or slightly better camera. And even I find that this was too much money.

Canadian tire world elite mastercard.. Not the card itself, but the fact it also gives you CT roadside assistance gold free. Once you apply for that , you get perkopolis, and thus these kind of corp access deals. Exact same portal, 20% off most devices.

Though I wanted the new S6 lite tablet, and that's not in the corp store yet. Next best one S5e, out of stock, meh.

Settled on the brand new A 8.4 LTE.... But no discount offered on that anyways lol. Can't win.

But finally samsung is making tablets that aren't garbage with over 2GB of ram at a reasonable price, so things are getting better. After like what, a 5+ year dominance of the nvidia shield tablet?

Please do not encourage this, because they are only going to charge more and more if people keep buying them.

Count me in for 5000 pieces when that happens (in our world), quickest way to make a million.

Note 10+, which launched in Aug, almost 1 yr ago, BNIB is still going for $1000 or more on Kijiji. Even at $1000, I would be worried about it being blacklisted later on. S20 Ultra pricing is ridiculous even to phone enthusiasts like me

I spend on average $70 per phone upgrade (net cost) and I am ALWAYS on the latest Samsung flagship (S -> Note -> S -> Note) since the first Galaxy phone that was released almost 10 years ago. The average would have been much lower if phones in general did not get substantially more expensive in the past 2 years, middle tier phones bumping from $400 to $700 and high end phones bumping from $900 to $1200.

Whereas you have people buying flagships and keeping it until they are worth $300 about 3 years later and spend another whopping $1000 net on the next flagship.

Then you have those who keep buying low end phones that becomes basically worthless and repeatedly spends $600 net on a crappy "does its job" phone every 3 years.
