Korean mobile carriers SK Telecom and KT Corp have raised the amount of
subsidies for the high-end model of Samsungs latest foldable smartphone
ahead of next month's scheduled launch of new iPhone models in the
country, industry sources said on Tuesday.
SK Telecom,
the country's largest wireless carrier, raised its subsidies for the
512-gigabyte model of Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 4 last Friday to range
between 380,000 won ($266) and 520,000 won depending on data plan price
models.
The company's previous subsidies ranged between 280,000 won and 520,000 won, reports Yonhap.
KT
also updated its 255,000 won-650,000 won subsidy scheme for the same
model to start at 265,000 won without changing its ceiling.
LG Uplus Corp., the third-largest carrier, did not make changes to its subsidy program for the model.
Released
last month, the clamshell-style Galaxy Z Flip 4 is made to "go truly
hands-free," allowing users to make phone calls, reply to texts and take
photos without flipping the phone open, and has an improved user
experience when uploading short videos on Facebook, WhatsApp and
Instagram, according to Samsung.
Industry watchers see the move
of SK Telecom and KT as a means of strengthening the competitiveness of
the key Samsung smartphone model amid an expected competition with Apple
Inc.'s new iPhone 14 model lineup launch next month.
Preorders
for new iPhone models in South Korea will begin from Friday, and the
products are scheduled to be released on October 7.
