To celebrate the official launch of the Galaxy Note8 in Malaysia, Samsung Malaysia Electronics is inviting Malaysians to be a part of a nationwide roadshow where consumers will have the opportunity to own the smartphone device along with exclusive deals and promotions.
From the 21st until 24th of September 2017, Samsung invites all Galaxy fans and tech enthusiasts to these roadshows at:
- Pavilion (Kuala Lumpur)
- Gurney Plaza (Penang)
- AEON Tebrau City (Johor Bahru)
The roadshow queue at Pavilion (Kuala Lumpur) will start at 11am onwards, while the sales of the Galaxy Note8 will officially begin at 12pm. The roadshows at Penang and Johor Bahru will commence from 10am onwards.
For every purchase of a Galaxy Note8 during this 4-day celebratory period, customers of the roadshow will receive a free Samsung Gear VR worth RM499 and free Samsung Screen Protection worth RM149 that allows for a one-time cracked screen replacement (excluding Service Fee).
A bonus exclusive to the Pavilion (Kuala Lumpur) roadshow, the first 100 customers to purchase the brand new Galaxy Note8 will receive the opportunity to meet Running Man star Song Ji-Hyo on stage in person and collect a free Clear View Standing Cover autographed by the star herself.
The Samsung Galaxy Note8 is priced at RM3,999 in Malaysia.
Adding on to the fiesta, Samsung is taking the opportunity to reward Galaxy Note8 fans through Samsung Pay and the mySamsung app. For Samsung Pay, simply activate the app by provisioning a credit or debit card to redeem RM10 Petronas fuel voucher. Fans of the mySamsung app are also in for a treat with complimentary goodies from The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Clinique, Honest Bee, Air Asia, Agoda and Zalora.
Samsung Galaxy fans outside of the roadshow vicinity can also enjoy great deals during the roadshow period. Enjoy exclusive bank promotion of 3x Maybank Treats Points and receive a free Dual Port Car Charger worth RM89 for every purchase of the Galaxy Note8 via Maybank 0% Ezy Pay Plan for a period of 12 and 24 months, available at Samsung Experience Stores.
On top of these, those who purchase Galaxy Note8 outside the roadshow can get the Samsung Protection (Promotion Price: RM88, RRP: RM149) with a one-time cracked screen replacement within the warranty period; or the Samsung Protection Plus (Promotion Price: RM238, RRP: RM298) that offers an additional 1-year warranty extension on top of the standard warranty and a one-time cracked screen replacement.
