Promos are part of the Samsung decision
Waiting is stronger when you are targeting a known promo pattern rather than vague hope.
Buy or Wait
Buy Samsung Galaxy Now or Wait?
Samsung timing often includes both launch cycles and promotion windows, which makes the wait question a little different from Apple. The real decision is whether the likely deal improvement is worth the delay.

Quick answer
What usually makes sense
Waiting makes more sense when there is a credible upcoming Samsung promo or refresh and your current device can hold up until then.
Urgency still overrides timing
A weak current phone can make now the right answer.
Feature pull alone is not enough
A new model is not automatically worth waiting for if the practical difference is small.
Compare with trade-in value
A strong promo can still be weakened if your current device is losing value fast.

WAIT
