All devices participating in the program receive protection from Samsung according to the Smart Care+ certificate, with the possibility to have a free one-time replacement of a broken screen or back panel at an authorized Samsung service center within one year.
Starting from December 01, the program adds Samsung Galaxy A-series smartphones with an exceptionally low monthly fee starting from 1990 Dollars. The client uses a smartphone for a small fee per month and can replace it for free on the new model after 12 payments or do it earlier with a surcharge of 3900 Dollars. When exchanging for a new device the residual value of the old one which is up to 40% of its price does not need to be paid. If desired, the customer can continue to use the gadget even after 12 payments, redeeming it at the residual value immediately, or continuing to make the same payment until the redemption value is paid off.
The program is implemented on a platform of leasing services for individuals, which have long been popular in the West, and became available in America in October this year for the first time as part of the program Samsung Forward. The first month of sales showed high demand for such modern programs: every second flagship in the stores of the first wave of the launch was sold through the program Samsung Forward, as announced by Samsung in November.
“We believe that the time has come to bring the smartphone buying process to the modern level of technology. I think we succeeded. Samsung Forward program offers a great new experience in the format “smartphone as a service” including the receipt of the device, its service and exchange for a new model. All processes, from review of the application to upgrade your smartphone, automated as much as possible, making it surprisingly quick and easy for the client,” – said the CEO of Forward Leasing Alexei Gurov.
