If you’re thinking to pre-reserve the Samsung Galaxy S25, understanding the benefits in Canada versus the US can help you decide where to place your order.
Here’s a simple breakdown:
For those looking to maximize savings on the Samsung Galaxy S25, pre-reserve benefits in Canada seems to offer the better deal, but it comes with the trade-off of sharing more personal data.
In the US:
Samsung Credit: Samsung offers a $50 credit when you pre-reserve from their site. However, this credit can’t be used to reduce the price of the S25 itself. Instead, you can use it to buy additional products like cases or earbuds.
Usage Terms: This $50 credit must be used at the time of purchase, or it’s lost. It doesn’t directly lower the cost of your new phone.
Personal Information: You only need to provide your name and email, with your phone number being optional.
In Canada:
E-Voucher: You get a $100 e-voucher just for registering, which is twice the value of the US offer.
Discount Application: This voucher can directly reduce the cost of the Galaxy S25 during the offer period from January 22 to February 9, making your new phone $100 cheaper.
More Data Required: To get this voucher, you’ll need to share more personal details, including your full name, email, phone number, postal code, and answer some questions about your current smartphone usage and interests.
If you’re in Canada or can pre-order from there, you’re getting a better deal. The $100 voucher applies directly to the phone’s price, unlike the $50 credit in the US, which is for accessories.
However, consider the privacy aspect; Canadian pre-orders require more personal information. If privacy is a concern for you, the US option might be more appealing with its minimal data collection.
Editor’s note:
If you’re not particular about spending the credit on accessories and privacy is a priority, the US pre-order might be the better choice for you. Remember, both offers are part of Samsung’s early reservation for the Galaxy Unpacked event on January 22, where the S25 series will be officially unveiled.
