Just walk right up to any Samsung store, plunk down your Galaxy Note7 (dead or alive), and ask for the Samsung Galaxy S8 Ultimate Edition. So much #win! 😀
Why Is Samsung Doing This?
[adrotate banner=”4″]The Samsung Galaxy Note7 has been the butt of many Internet jokes, memes and fake stories. But despite its battery woes, it was a very popular phablet.
It was so popular that many people refused to return their Galaxy Note7, despite Samsung’s extensive recall program. In fact, Samsung had to issue a “kill order” at the end of 2016 to try and disable the Galaxy Note7 phablets that are still out there!
The “Galaxy Note7 For S8 Ultimate Edition” exchange program is their way to thank their most fanatical fans.
But I Don’t Have A Note7….
Don’t worry. Samsung is reserving a limited number of Samsung Galaxy S8 Ultimate Edition smartphones for those who get the most likes for pictures of the Samsung Galaxy S8 Ultimate Edition.
All you have to do is share one of these pictures PUBLICLY in social media, using these details and hashtags :
1 like = 1 chance to win the Galaxy S8 Ultimate Edition
1 share = 10 chances to win the Galaxy S8 Ultimate Edition
1 like + 1 share = You do the math!
#S8Ultimate #iCantWait #h3h3
Samsung will use the third-party tracking service H3H3 to track the number of likes on your post, and award those with highest number of likes with a Samsung Galaxy S8 Ultimate Edition!
Obviously, you can increase your chance by posting multiple times, and getting your friends to like your post! 😀
Make sure you share them publicly. If they cannot see them, they cannot track them!
