U Mobile offers the Galaxy S7 edge from RM1,799

The Samsung Galaxy S7 edge goes on sale in Malaysia today and U Mobile will be offering the dual-edge flagship on contract. Priced at RM3,099 outright, the Galaxy S7 edge can be yours from RM1,799 with its Ultimate Device Plan bundle.

There are 3 contract options available and the bundled price for the Galaxy S7 edge are as follow:

Ultimate Device 135 (24 months) – RM1,799
Ultimate Device 95 (24 months) – RM2,099
Ultimate Device 65 (24 months) – RM2,399

During sign up, there’s no upfront payment if you pay for the device by credit card and opt-in for their auto debit billing facility. 0% Easy Payment Plan for the device is also available if you are a credit card holder of CIMB, Maybank, HSBC, RHB, Ambank, Standard Chartered, Citibank and Hong Leong Bank. For U Mobile, you are free to leave the contract at any time without penalty but you would need to pay for the balance of the device’s RRP.

In terms of plan offering, the Ultimate Device Plan doesn’t seem to pack as much value as their current competitive P70 Hero postpaid. Their Ultimate Device 135 Plan at RM135/month comes with 6GB of data, 130 minutes of free calls and 65 free SMS each time. This 24 months contract lets you pick up the S7 edge for RM1,799.

If you opt for the P70 Hero Postpaid (RM135-RM70=RM65 savings each month), that comes up to RM1,560 saved across 24 months, and you’ll get unlimited calls and more data. So probably it is more worthwhile to get the S7 edge outright (RM3,099) as the amount you save from monthly subscription can “subsidise” the device down to RM1,539, which is cheaper than RM1,799 on Ultimate Device 135 plan. Furthermore, U Mobile is offering extra 8GB for the next 3.5 months on Hero Postpaid which is hard to beat.
