Note 3 launched in September at around £600, I bought mine last week brand new for £429 sim free from Scan only 3 months after launch, it seems a couple of places are selling the Note 3 for under £500 aswell, why has the price suddenly dropped so much?.
I had a iPhone 5S 32GB prior to the Note 3, as i wanted to give iOS a try, after being with Android for years, but my love affair with Apple didn't last long and it was sold & only loosing £50 when i sold it, which paid for both the Note 3 & a Moto G 8GB.
With the price dropping like it is, it doesn't bode well for resale value next year, as I'm one of those that like to sell my handset to paid towards the next latest & greatest, which will either be the S5 or Note 4, probs more likely the Note 4 now.
Samsung phones always drop in price very quickly. .. especially compared to iPhone.

yeah sammys resale is always crap i do what you do sell the phone for the next one,back in the days of iphone the resale was great
because Samsung is not Apple. a Samsung S-view cover costs more than a cheap indian tablet with a 1Ghz processor, webcam Android 4 and decent looking

Because all lose it's price.. cars.. pc.. all.. the time of life of a phone is 1 year.. over that it won't be produced, and price goes to 1/2 of the initial..
Iphone is the ONLY ONE "CHEAP" PRODUCT witch doesen't decrease it's value.. why? Because people are stupid and pays an higher price only to have a phone..
When i traded in my S2 for a S3 resale value on the S2 was still very good at the time, if i had sold it i would have gotten more.
It seems since the S3 resale value on all Galaxy phones have really taken an hit, those with a S4 that plan on selling next year for the S5 will probably get next to nothing for it being only a 16GB device.

The actual reason might not be so much the specific model, but instead the sheer volume of those devices - Samsung made at least twice more S3 devices (most of those sold very early) than S2 (which still saw a lot of later models for other markets, but those were already re-positioned clearly below the original top-level price).
€470 in Germany,
€687 in Netherlands
And people wonder why I don't buy my hardware here?
Anyway, prices always drop rather quickly on nearly all devices after a few months. Apple being the exception because they know they can ask 100% even after two years and their customers are stupid enough to pay it. They pay it for a 'new' device, too. Even if it's identical to the last 3.
Probably because of knox.
Lest you forget,ppl buy samdung's fone so they can install custom rom to utilise their great hardware.
with knox,tripping it will void warranty(and resale value) and stock TW is full of bloatware lagging the phone like a snail.
samdung's note3 with knox and no way of removing it,is akin to apple telling u how to hold ur phone for a better reception.
very soon,they are going to lose more customers thanks to knox.

Knox has nothing to do with it, 99% of people that buy Samsung smartphones don't care if it has Knox or not most probably don't even know what it does or even know it there.
You could trip the Knox 0x1, and still sell it on as normal, as most buyers won't even notice it as they don't go customizing or use it's security features.
It won't drop anymore now until the Note 4 and even after it's release for a little.
Samsung phones always come very expensive, reduce to a lower price (but still expensive) after a few months and stay there until they are discontinued.
I bought mine for 500eu new in Belgium.

In Singapore.
It was £475.00 back in September.
It is now selling at £412.00. Since November.
I guess that the market is now flooded with millions of Note 3, thus the price dropped.
It is good for the consumers. So, I don't care a **** because I bought a phone to use it and not to worry about its resale value in the future.

Fun and sad fact is I can never sell my phones, I feel bad and just put them on my desk to be remembered
Hey! Also bought mine from Scan UK via their eBay store (by the way, never buy from SimplyElectronics, don't be tempted by the cheap prices).
Been using it and can see myself using this device for at least a year and a half. I tend to swith to new one every year. Upgrading from a Nexus 4.
Now regarding the price drop, several factors to take into consideration:
* This is Samsung. They can afford to drop the price, and still grab marketshare and get a profit.
* The holiday season!
* Knox
I'm very happy with the phone. It's the best long lasting device I've had since the Nokia days of Symbian, and boy does USB3 charge this baby fast!

Yeah I really wonder why you don't buy your hardware in the Netherlands, and last but not least, to make your 'happiness' complete, I bought my original DUTCH Note 3 for €525. Brand- and simlockfree. So no European model but the only real one. Anyways, when you live in the Netherlands like you and me.

After i bought it they dropped the price to £424 for a few days on ebay, on their own site they are selling it for £453 last time i checked, I went to pick mine up rather than have it delivered as I'm only 20 mins drive away from place.
As for Simply Electronics I'm surprised this company still allowed to trade as a UK base company, because they pretend they based in the UK, when really they based in Hong Kong, and all there stuff you order and eventually get weeks after if you get it at all that is are grey imports, plus because they based in Hong Kong you will have no protection under the UK Sale Of Goods Act if something goes wrong & you try to get it sorted under warranty then forget it, but yet thousand of people each year are duped into the low prices & Trading Standards don't seem to do anything about them.
I'm thinking to get the 8+. I currently have the 7 Edge and have been with Tmo for several years.
I've always purchased my phones from Tmo directly. In fact, I've always purchased directly from the Carrier I've been on.
I'm thinking to pre-order the 8+ from Samsung, primarily to save the $130 down, and pay the increased monthly payments.
I'm on the original Jump, includes 2 upgrades annually without paying any balance due on device jumping from.
Are there any drawbacks/downsides regarding going directly to Samsung?
Does Samsung check credit or does Tmo as before, and does my plan, including Jump stay the same, including using Jump to pre-order the 8+ and not owe any money on the 7 Edge?

Buying on samsung is not the same as buying from T-Mobile. You pay with a credit card or PayPal or Samsung Finance. Nothing to do with jump or T-Mobile, but they do ship the Free promo stuff with the phone.

Ordering from Samsung you pay the phone off in full upfront or if you use Samsungs financing you will have a bill completely separate from T-Mobile for your S8+.
And thats the better option to finance it separate so it can be network unlocked in case you decide to switch carriera

Buy from Samsung amd you will (probably) get firmware updates more quickly than wa8t8ng for carrier to add their bloatware and test it all before release for OTA
On the other hand will your carrier lock you out of VoLTE, WiFi calls etc if you dont have their firmware?
I am In UK and ordered from Smasung using their annual upgrade program £77.95 up front then £33.50 a month for 24 months (but you can get the latest handset every 12 months and extend the payments for another 24 months)

I appreciate the info.
After reading everyone's replies, I'll most likely purchase the S8+ from Tmo, after taking all the info into consideration.
I have 2 other questions/comments regarding pre-ordering from Tmo:
1) Is there any other way to save the $130 up front payment, considering I'll likely Jump in a year or so, which is my average?
2) I like to have the time for transferring the info from my S7 Edge to the S8+ in the comfort of my home instead of at the store where I'm hurried and transferring all info can be difficult considering I'd have to hand in the phone to complete the purchase prior to transferring the information.
If I pre-order from Tmo via online or customer service via phone call, would that be the same as walking into a store to pre-order and pick up the S8+ in regards to using my Jump to pre-order, and my account remaining exactly the same.
This way I can transfer all the info in home, and then mail in my S7 Edge within the allotted time.
Meh, it's cheaper from Samsung, I pre-ordered from Sprint and it is costing me more but I'm gonna try and get the upgraded stuff for pre ordering for 99$ the headphones and SD card and stuff though... Either way it's all gravy
I have Jump with Tmo, so if I purchase from Samsung, I can't use Jump, meaning I'd owe the balance on my S7 Edge. So that's a no go.
Does the unlocked version get the same benefits as the T-Mobile version, like VoLTE, WiFi calling, same networking capabilities, etc.?
As I understand it, there is only one US version of the phone so all the T-Mobile network extras will be there if you buy from Samsung. I plan on buying an unlocked model from BB or Samsung once they go on sale early May to avoid carrier added bloatware.
Funny thing just happened a couple of hours ago.
I got a faint pink vertical line, from top to bottom, approx. 1/2" from the right edge on my Samsung S7 Edge. First time I noticed it. It lasted a few minutes, disappeared, returned, then disappeared again. I'm certain it will return. I did some research and saw this is an issue for some and is a hardware problem, something to do with a vertical driver, etc., which can only be remedied with a replacement LCD or device.
I purchased the device on April 6, 2016 and have the original Jump with insurance.
I called Tmo and resolved the issue within 15 minutes. Seamless customer service with very knowledgeable reps.
A replacement S7 Edge will be shipped to the Tmo store near me and will arrive tomorrow.
I'll go to the store within 14 days, pick up the new or refurbished? S7 Edge, hand in my 7 Edge, and the store will handle the rest. They'll help me with the transferring of data if needed.
The total cost will be $5.
Because the issue is a hardware problem, the Tmo insurance extends the Samsung 1 year warranty for as long as I have insurance.
I mention the above because Murphy shows up when you least expect it and Tmo insurance is worth having, for extending the Samsung warranty without having a deductible, unlike with a loss, broken screen, damage, etc., which incurs a $175 deductible.
Transferring data is a pain, and now I'll have to do it twice if I pre-order the S8+.

Interesting... the same thing happened to me about a week ago. Pink line that started intermittent and then stayed. Same exact experience at TMO. I thought about waiting and just swapping for the S8+, but might as well use the Jump I've been paying for
BTW, the phone I got looked new and needed to be upgraded to Nougat before I was able to do the Samsung Switch restore, so plan on some time at the store.

Not a bad idea, just not easy to accomplish in the US. While the odds are much better its not 100% that the international version wont be locked down just like ours.

I'm probably going to cancel my order soon. Was going to test it out see if i can get it early enough to make some cash. Anyone know or trust the Samsung.com refund or restocking fees? Online is different than chat and both are different than phone support so it's really hard not to just cancel it now.

Except for...... Samsung Pay and WiFi Calling. Those two things that matter to me YMMV. Having a warranty is nice too.
Yes, I wish I could root so I could get rid of things like the volume too high nag and the soon to be famous "Wipe your camera lens" nag.
But the trade off of Samsung Pay is worth it to me. Touch Wiz has matured now making the UI not so bad. I thought not being able to load a custom ROM on my Note 7 would be awful, but I learned to deal with it.
Deciding which (T-Mo or Samsung) to buy from is where I am at now after eliminating waiting for an unlocked or going international. The T-Mo store told me today that a Samsung purchased phone would not have WiFi calling on their network. Not sure I believe that so I'm digging more. The VR is a nice perk from buying from either over an unlocked version, I'll never be on Sprint or Verizon, so it just leaves the question of ch 12/17. Will the A models not have ch 12 and the T models not have 17 ?? Or will they be interchangeable?

Very true
I was at T-Mo store today and was told many things I'm not sure I believe. Basically it's tough to get the real answers.
1. Pre-orders must also have a post paid plan at the time of order. No pre-paid plans. It doesn't matter if you pay for the phone in full.
2. You must have the post-paid plan for at least 40 days before unlocking moving to a pre-paid plan.
3. S8s purchased from Samsung .com will not have WiFi calling
4. A SIM kit is $25. listed as $10 online
5. 10GB tethering promo ends 4/6
6. Credit check is mandatory. I've got a 830+FICO score I'm not worried about passing a credit check. I prefer not having penny ante checks on my record.
7. Phone ships 2nd day, web site says next day.
My current pre-paid plan is due to expire. I thought I would buy a T-Mo SIM/prepaid plan for my existing Note 3 (SM-N900A) to confirm good signal etc, then transfer the service to the S8+ when it arrived. I was told that was not possible. Let me count the ways.....
While there I also tried having WiFi and Mobile Hotspot on at the same time on their demo S8+, nope. This is something my AT&T Note 7 would do after the trade in. This is nice for me since it lets me give my Android Head unit internet access without having to manually turn hotspot/WiFi on and off every time I enter/exit my car. I found out that this task can't be automated by Tasker.
I tried getting answers from T-Mo chat and they blew me off saying I needed to call, but the office was closed.
SMH Do they get paid to make things hard?
I maybe the only one here and sound rather spoilt but I was hoping for an gift or accessory for pre-orders like a few of us.
With the S7 it was the GearVR and last year they promoted the AKG earphones with the S8 (ok, they came with all of them). It also came in a lovely big Samsung box.
Even though it hasn't stopped me upgrading I feel they missed a trick here by creating more buzz on pre-orders.
we get a year of bein connect for free but i have a theory. Samsung lowered prices in some countries and priced higher on others, to compensate they offered freebies to less developped countries like mine (Morocco). To me looks like the richer countries are paying for poorer countries well except in the US. The other problem is, just from browsing the s9/s9+ forums i can see that the sales will be much lower, as we had hundredrs of posts on the s8/s8+ fourms during the preorder period vs less than 100 here. So Samsung should give more freebies in few weeks to boost sales
True lads, most countries gettin free wireless chargers etc, dex would be nice to get as a freebie, ahh.. i bet there'll be some freebies like a month after or so
In Saudi Arabia the pre-order is for th 256 GB varient only and the freebies are : (Selfie Stick;Car Charger;AKG wireless Speaker;Wireless Charging Stand)*
yep not happy no freebies on offer in the uk!!!
ok through a carrier we get the AKG y50BT, a 128gb sd card and 1year bein sport for free
Here in Italy S9+ is sold at 999 Eur. A little too much for my taste, They offer a buyback for used phones that in most cases is enough fair. For example S7 Edge is rated 350 Eur, S8+ 450, iphone 6 200 Eur. Sadly being patient and waiting for next months rebates wil be possible to buy the S9+ around 800 Eur and sell These phones for a little less thanwhat Samsung offers with more convenience.

Rightly said. I have pre-booked one by availing card, exchange and EMI discounts. I have opted for 18 months interest free EMI which is fantastic. As mentioned above the freebies only add to the cost of the overall price of the product which I am not that keen.
In Indonesia just get TUMI Case for all preorder S9/S9+
Not only are there no freebies but they had no discount bundles for preorders like they do for the released ones now. Kinda crappy Samsung .
I already have a VR, AKG headphones, and a 256gb EVO card from prior purchases. It'd be nice, but this time I just needed the phone.

I got wireless charge and a Samsung tab A
In Czech Rep you wont get freebies but you can handle your old phone to get 100€ discount + price of your old phone if it had any value. Think its much better than freebies, which you wont usually use...
I got a Harman Kardon Onyx Mini for pre-ordering my S9+. Price here for 128GB is MYR3999 ~ USD 1022.
I thought all the reviews said up to $600 trade in but when I log in to do the pre-order the most I see is $450 for an S10+, and only offering $300 for my Note 9. What gives?
And the UK the opposite, banner says £350 max trade in but I was offered £400 for my Note 9!

I think it has to do with what carrier version you order. I ordered the Unlocked and got $600 for my Note 9.

Used $150 toward new Galaxy Watch down to $200 from $350 so, it will cost me $150 after the $50 bonus later on.
Traded in S10e for $600.
FUC$ING citibank keep blocking my charge! for fraud protection!
should have used a different credit card instead !

Best Buy gives you $600 for an S10+ - but the difference is, Samsung will also give you a $200 credit for accessories - so it is the same deal - just presented differently. I went with Best Buy. I don't need the accessories.

bestbuy give you 600$ for S10+
samsung give you 600$ for s10+ **PLUS** 200$ credits for accessories. i getting wireless galaxy bud (already have one from s10+ but it' free, why not), plus LED back cover for free.
UPDATE: i really like the wireless galaxy bud, it stays in my ears. the WIRED included ear buds always falling off my left ears. and those headset over your head makes my head hurts.

Samsung didn't offer me $600 - they offered $450. I got the branded ATT varient because it is more compatible with ATT enhanced services.
So for me - it was about the same as Samsung;s Deal - Plus you can only get that cool blue color from Best Buy - another plus for me - but maybe not for everyone.
If you like the Samsung deal better that's cool -

Well crap. I didn't see that. That means the Galaxy Watch wouldve been basically free for me. Oh well.
You guys are lucky.... 200$+ a value for your "old" phone...... Just simulated my "return", 100% NEW (from warranty) Note8 and they will refund me 310€ (347,42$) and NO acessories .......
The new Note 10+ (256GB) prices are around 1130€ (1266,69$) unlocked..... Carrier wise is the same price..... Definitly NOT worth it!!!!! Even with the possibility paying it in 24 months (for a phone!!!)....... Almost forgot that the wages here in PT are very, very,very low so its possible that more then 75% is sold on credit........
So if i want to upgrade i will have to wait untill xmas and hope that this will take a dive in price at that time, for now its just reading reviews and opinions.....

Try ordering with different browser, I couldn't complete my order on Firefox, was going back and forth and the "submit" button didn't work, kind of 'greyed out', I think I had that problem before(also Citibank), so I used Chrome and it went right through. Firefox may not have the right https security certification.

I'm in the same boat as you.
I was really disappointed that Samsung had the $450 offer for my AT&T S10+, and had $200 to buy more stuff, and I REALLY tried to find something they had listed but I just couldn't find anything. So I cancelled my order with Samsung and went the Best Buy route, thanks for the great tip! It makes a super expensive phone a little easier to get.
Awww, nothing for my Galaxy Note 3
I am being offered 280 eur for my Note 9 128MB. That is downright ****ty offer.

I got $600 plus $150 accessory voucher.
My question is will it matter if I have an international snapdragon variant to trade and does anybody know how and when I will have to trade it?
Edit - I'm in the US btw. I ordered the unlocked note 10 plus.

I don't think it matters to them, they only specify the model in general and talk about condition of the device. Am gonna take care of documenting the condition of my return with lots of pics, record Serial # etc. Someone said that Samsung outsourced the returns to 3rd party people, who knows where the returned stuff goes, but I am sure it's all for profit and they might try to 'stiff' us a little here and there to knock some bucks from the promised $600.
I found the details on trade in email from Samsung, we have to wait for now 'til we get the phones:
Quote: " For a limited time only, on Samsung.com/Shop Samsung App, pre-order or purchase a new qualifying Galaxy NOTE10 or NOTE10+ device ("Qualifying Purchase"), send in your qualifying trade-in device to Samsung through the Samsung Trade-In Program, and if Samsung determines your trade-in device meets all eligibility requirements, you will receive a trade-in credit specific to your qualifying trade-in device to apply toward your Qualifying Purchase. Device models that currently qualify for trade-in and trade-in credit amounts associated with those models are available on Samsung.com and the Shop Samsung App; eligible models and amounts may change at Samsung's sole discretion. To be eligible for trade-in, your qualifying device must meet all Trade-In Program eligibility requirements, which include, but are not limited to, that the device powers on, holds a charge, and does not power off unexpectedly; has a functioning display; has no breaks or cracks in the screen (unless a cracked screen offer applies); has no breaks or cracks in the case; has no liquid damage (whether visible or not); has no other defects that go beyond normal wear and tear; is not on a black list; has a verified FCC ID; has been reset to factory settings; has all personal information removed; has all software locks disabled; and is owned by you (leased devices are not eligible). Anticipated trade-in value will be applied as a credit at time of purchase, but, if you do not send in your trade-in device within 15 days of receipt of your Qualifying Purchase, you will be charged back for the trade-in credit applied to your purchase, or if you send in your trade-in device within 15 days of receipt of your Qualifying Purchase but Samsung determines your device does not meet all eligibility requirements, you will be charged back for the trade-in credit applied to your purchase minus $25. Participation in this program does not excuse you from contracts with your carrier or retailer (or any related payments or fees) for the device that was traded in. Limit 1 trade-in per Qualifying Purchase. Samsung reserves the right to modify or discontinue this offer at any time. The Trade-In Program cannot be combined with any other Samsung, carrier or retailer promotions, discounts, or offers unless specifically provided for in the terms and conditions of such offers. Additional terms, including terms that govern the resolution of disputes, apply."
I don't lease or make monthly payments on phones. I always sell my phones and just add $300 to my recent sale to buy a new phone. I currently have the Note 10. I originally purchased it through Samsung for the $600 off trade in. However, just a week after being released I was able to get a Note 10 for $750. So returned my Samsung Note and purchased one from an alternative website. I then sold my S10 for $500. Well today the Note 10 is selling for $600 or $650 used.
This is the 1st phone I have owned that had declined in price by more than 30% in a month. I'm just shocked.
where did you find Note10 for 600?
