Remember when brand new phones on 2 year contract cost 200 bucks. Now 600 bucks with 1 year contract. Progress, lol

Remember when phone companies would charge you for overage minutes and teens in "love" would get billed like a mortgage

Phone costs 3 times more. But storage, memory are likely 4 times more and cpu speed is like 30+ times more.

It's not a fair judgement. Plus inflation is there

Good one. Best Buy wouldn't approve a PM for the cream because it's out of stock, on top of the fact that BBY doesn't price match Boost Mobile anyway.

Not the best phone but I gave it a try AND IT WORKED!

I tried the chat option, did a little bit of smooth talking, bingo bango got a price match on the shimmering teal version of the phone.

I just picked one up from Best Buy and it's actually not too bad. Going to be my second phone for work projects but honestly very impressed.

Their main point I think was a phone would be 50% off or more and even free if you agreed to a 2 year contract. Trade ins didn't exist either. Seeing how most don't switch carriers often these days and most deals are add a line or trade in or both these phone companies are laughing all the way to the bank.

Tried chat option with Best Buy, no price match for me! They said Boost Mobile is locked for 12 months whereas Best Buy has fully unlocked.

The cream color version has been on back order since at least a week ago. Samsung didn't expect to see such high pre-order volume.

Whichever source told you he got a cream one PM today and shipped already might not be very reliable

No go on the PM for me.

"Thanks for your patience, this competitor is not eligible for Price matching , since Boost Mobile phones are locked to be used exclusively on their network, that's the reason why their prices are way lower that the standard. You'd basically have to be a whole year with their service in order to have the device unlocked. Meanwhile, our phones are completely unlocked so you can use it with any carrier you want."

They finally caught on. Guess they figured out how much it was costing them...

Thank you for posting this! I just finished with Best Buy chat and they were able to price match it for me as well. Had to order the Phantom Black (Unlocked) for $999.99 online and they then issued a refund for $400.

Can you provide me details of the steps you took in order to have best buy price match it ?

Samsung in Vietnam they only can make 30% of previous their products due to city/county locked with Covid-19.
