## Samsung's free storage upgrade is ending

Samsung is discontinuing its free storage upgrade promotion for new foldable phones. This promotion has been highly popular among customers for several years.

## New promotion: 50% discount

Instead of free storage upgrades, Samsung will offer a 50% discount on storage upgrades. This will allow customers to switch to models with higher storage capacity.

## Rising costs are impacting

The increase in RAM and storage costs has led Samsung to change its promotion strategy. These increases affect not only phones but also tablets and computers.

## Policies of other brands

Brands like Apple, Google, and OnePlus typically do not offer discounts on storage upgrades. Samsung's new policy may still be advantageous compared to these brands.

## Impact of economic conditions

Economic conditions are influencing consumers' spending habits. Samsung is trying to balance cost increases without passing them on to customers.

## Future promotions uncertain

If cost increases continue, Samsung may not even offer a 50% discount on future phones. Therefore, taking advantage of current promotions is important.
