The Nation's First 5G Phone Under 300,000 Won... KT's 'Galaxy Jump' Pre-Orders Begin

6.5-inch Large Screen · 128GB Memory
500mAh Battery · 3 Color Options

[Asia Economy Reporter Cha Min-young] KT announced on the 14th that it will conduct pre-orders for Samsung Electronics’ ‘Galaxy Jump,’ which will be officially released on the 21st.

KT will hold pre-orders nationwide at KT stores and on its official online website ‘KT Shop’ for seven days from today until the 20th. Galaxy Jump is the first 5G smartphone priced in the 300,000 KRW range to be released domestically and will be sold exclusively by KT.

Galaxy Jump features a large 6.5-inch screen, 128GB memory, and a 5000mAh battery. Despite its reasonable price, it offers various convenient features such as Samsung Pay and side fingerprint recognition. Additionally, its matte non-glossy design that resists fingerprints emphasizes a premium feel. The device comes in three colors: ‘Awesome Black,’ ‘Awesome White,’ and ‘Awesome Red,’ with a retail price of 399,300 KRW including VAT.

The advantage of Galaxy Jump is that it allows users to experience 5G at an affordable price. When used together with the ‘Super 2.5 Hyundai Card,’ customers can receive a total communication fee discount of 432,000 KRW over 24 months, up to 18,000 KRW per month (conditioned on spending over 700,000 KRW the previous month).

Additionally, the ‘Super Plan Choice’ tariff plan allows unlimited 5G data and content usage without burden. By subscribing to Super Plan Basic Choice Netflix (90,000 KRW), users can enjoy completely unlimited 5G data and the ‘Netflix Basic’ plan for a monthly fee of 9,500 KRW. VIP membership benefits such as Emart discount coupons and free Starbucks coffee are also provided. When applying a 25% selection discount and a 25% premium family combination discount, various benefits can be used at a maximum 50% discounted price in the 40,000 KRW range.

KT offers ‘Galaxy SmartTag’ 2-pack and a 90-day Genie Music smart listening pass to customers who pre-order Galaxy Jump. Galaxy SmartTag is a device that helps easily and safely manage the location of family members, pets, and valuable items. Furthermore, from the 21st of this month to June 3rd, a promotion will be held for the first 1,000 customers who purchase and use certain 5G plans, providing a ‘The Banchan&’ meal kit once a month for one year. Benefits will be discontinued if customers change to a tariff plan outside the promotion’s eligible plans.

Meanwhile, the video call ringtone ‘V Coloring’ has also been applied to Galaxy Jump. V Coloring is a service that shows a video set by the customer to the caller’s smartphone. A promotion allowing users to try it at the same price as the existing Ring To You (voice call ringtone) without burden will continue until June.

Kim Byung-kyun, Executive Director of KT’s Device Business Division, said, “We have prepared a reasonable and sophisticated 5G smartphone so that many customers can experience 5G services,” adding, “We hope customers will experience Galaxy Jump without burden through various benefit promotions.”
