[Asia Economy Reporter Cha Min-young] As the Samsung 'Galaxy S22 Ultra,' which succeeded the Galaxy Note series, gains popularity, LG Uplus has started selling used Galaxy Note10 devices from the previous generation.


According to the telecommunications industry on the 20th, LG Uplus newly set official subsidies of up to 320,000 KRW for three previous Note series models: 'Galaxy Note10 (U+ Shop Used),' 'Galaxy Note10 Plus (+) (U+ Shop Used),' and 'Galaxy Note10+ 512GB (U+ Shop Used)' on the 18th.


The used Galaxy Note10 phone, priced at 360,000 KRW, joins the zero-won phone lineup when adding the official subsidy of 320,000 KRW and an additional 40,000 KRW store subsidy (up to 15% of the official subsidy). The used Galaxy Note10+ phone is lowered to a final price of 92,000 KRW with a 460,000 KRW subsidy, and the used Galaxy Note10+ 512GB is reduced to 122,000 KRW with a 490,000 KRW subsidy.


The models eligible for this official subsidy are used phones supplied by Sejong Q-Biz, a used phone specialist affiliated with Sejong Telecom. They are sold exclusively on LG Uplus's online mall, U+ Shop. Instead of the official subsidy, customers can also opt for a discount through a selection contract.


Recently in Korea, interest in the Note series has increased as Samsung introduced the S22 Ultra, the first S series equipped with the S Pen. The absence of a Note series release last year also led to high pent-up demand.



LG Uplus's expansion of official subsidies to used devices is interpreted as part of its strategy to attract new online customers. Alongside this, an event is being held until the end of this month, offering a 3-month subscription to the online video service (OTT) Disney Plus (+) with device purchases.
