I listened to this sound bar in Best Buy before I purchased it at a similar price. Once I got it home I could not get much base at all out of it (paired with a Samsung S90D). As much as it pained me, I returned it to Samsung for a full refund. Still looking for a proper set up from my TV … this, at least for me, is not it.

it would still just be 3.1.2
the .2 is the rear speakers
Actually, the .2 is the Atmos speakers. "santy83" is correct. If you add the S9200 rears to the Q600 you will add two more main channels for a 5.1.2 system.

The Samsung HW-Q600C/Q60CC is better than the Samsung HW-Q60C/Q6CC, especially for height content like Dolby Atmos. The Q600C has two up-firing channels, so it doesn't have to downmix Atmos content into stereo like the Q60C. The resulting sound is more clear and life-like. The Q600C has a better stereo soundstage, too.
This bar at $200 is just okay. MSRP is inflated. The 700 series can be found on sale at times for $200-250. Got my 700 series for $119 Nov 2023.
Hard to find but just bought an hw-q800c 5.1.2 open box from Best Buy for $249. Much better sound quality. Paired with the 9500 rears ($99 open box) for an amazing 7.1.4 setup under $350.

Your setup is 7.1.4 as the 9500 adds 2 rears channels and 2 atmos channels!
Technically, this setup is the optimal configuration as all available Dolby Atmos and DTS:X media are mainly incoded in 7.1.4. This means the bar will output the sound as intended without the need for extra processing

Hard to find is right on the Q800C. Open boxes are usually only marked down 10 to at the most percent. Love to know how you pulled that off.

This or Bose 550 Soundbar for $199?
I actually just purchased both in the past two weeks (for living room and bedroom upgrades). Got this brand new from someone on facebook market for $100. Picked up the rears for $100 for 5.1.2 but haven't hooked them up yet.
This by itself against the 550 I think wins out, as it has subwoofer. I just bought the 12" Klipsch for $99 at Costco though, and paired it with the 550. It's really good. Have been considering moving that to the living room instead of the Samsung, but the Q600C bar is just too big for the dresser my soundbar sits on. The 550 is perfect for that space.
For $300 I'd probably go with that setup over $250 for this. The one downside I think with this bar is the small sub. It's not bad at all, but I think a true (larger) sub is always going to be better overall. The one upside is the Samsung rears can be had for $100 as opposed to the rears for the Bose running $250-$300 used.
