This is the lowest price worldwide for this specification Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini! Whilst stocks last.

It is -NEW- Australian Stock with a 2 Year Warranty and -NOT- a Grey Import :)

Telstra and Samsung have come together to make this handset both Bluetick -AND- 4GX compatible on Telstra's network.

Regarding Unlocking: "If you have purchased a Telstra handset pack and want to use it on another network, you’ll need to pay a network unlocking fee.
This fee is $80 within the first six months. After six months, the fee is $25." - Taken straight from Telstra's website.

      They're grey imports and they're not even 4G. They are the 3G dual sim models, might want to read your links next time.

        Yes they are grey imports.. When the OP say cheapest price globally he is claiming that it is cheaper than grey imports.

        Might want to read what the OP states next time

          You do realise he is talking about a 4G Samsung Galaxy S5 mini right? Like it says in his title. You have linked 3G Samsung Galaxy S5 minis. There is a difference.

        • Epyc on 27/04/2015 - 22:22

          Good point, I've updated OP to indicate this exact specification. Thanks for the headsup :)

    • Epyc on 27/04/2015 - 22:20

      Completely different spec handset… and completely missed the point here.

      Telstra currently has the best price worldwide for this specification phone (not the 3G or Dual SIM models)… I've checked!

      I'm buying one tomorrow for myself, awesome bang for buck for someone who want's Bluetick NextG coverage and 4GX speeds in a reliable brand name smartphone :)

        Since you edited your description then made a comment here is what you said before..

        This is the lowest price globally for the Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini!

        This might be a good price and true better than a grey import. However is is not the cheapest S5 Mini you can get globally!!!

        • Epyc on 27/04/2015 - 22:26

          I replied 4 mins ago acknowledging this and updated original post accordingly, please see my comments above :)

          @Xenatos:
          No acknowledgement made, you just changed your description and tried to prove me wrong.

          Anyway here is a cheaper 4G model

          http://www.android-enjoyed.com/samsung-galaxy-s5-mini-g800f-…

          yer I know you are going to say its not the same specs again.. Only an Australian Handset would have the exact same specs. So you wont be able to buy one overseas.

          @roary
          valid point

          OP
          it's a decent deal

        • Mamong on 27/04/2015 - 22:46

          @Roary: Add in their $24 minimum shipping cost and its a more expensive option than OP's deal which offers free delivery.

          The G800F works on Bands 1,3,5,7,8,20, doesn't work on Band 28 (not 4GX if you want to use marketing terms here).

        • Epyc on 27/04/2015 - 23:23

          @crazycs:

          I'm upgrading from my HTC Desire 510 (4G Pre-Paid) to the Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini (4GX Pre-Paid)

          I tried both 4G and 4GX in the city and I definitely noticed the difference, so once again - for those who care - this is still a great deal :)

    In my experience i haven't found bluetick handsets to get any better reception than non bluetick ones. Seems like marketing bs.

    • crikey123 on 28/04/2015 - 03:22

      Have to say in my experience that in North Queensland there are certainly noticeable differences between blue tick and non blue tick. My Galaxy (and in the past Xperia) often has a slightly stronger 3G signal when other non-blue tick phones lose it. This is especially noticeable on borderline coverage zones. I particularly love to give my mates a bit of stick when on a road trip (who are all iPhone users) when this happens :p

    the blue tick isn't for coverage in regards to better reception due to antenna, its in regards to the bands supported eg the new 700 MHz. there aren't many handsets that support all the 4G bands. eg Samsung s5, note4, iphone6, and a couple of others do.
    Easy to get caught out when a phone says 4G, the question should be what bands / frequencies. it's a good chance to use some clean air while most handsets don't support the new bands.

    • Ronnnie on 28/04/2015 - 10:37

      Garage sale thats not accurate whatsoever. Plenty of phones telstra sell that offer support for all the bands on telstra network that doesn't meet their bluetick standard. The 5c vs the 5s was a good example of this, supposedly the 5s had weaker reception because of metal body and wasn't good enough for bluetick. Though many have found comparing both phones there's no major difference interms of reception and coverage. Despite telstra claims the 5c better. I actually was getting better reception from my non bluetick phone vs telstra claimed bluetick phone.

    Fantastic price but don't hold your breath waiting for the phone to get Lollipop - The full size S5 has been on Telstra over a year now and still does not have Lollipop - given this only came out on the Telstra network two months ago - it's gonna be a loooooong time if this handset gets Lollipop at all. There are also literally no custom ROMs available for this particular model.
