Was searching for a cheap deal for the Samsung Galaxy S8 and saw this deal on hotukdeals and thought I'd share with fellow ozbargainers.
I went through to checkout and vat is removed. There are two shipping options I chose the cheaper one, selected to pay in euro and this was the total:

Articles: EUR 490.98
Shipping cost: EUR 16.75
Total excluding VAT: EUR 507.73
VAT: EUR 0.00
According to XE currency converter it should be in AUD $767.15 so make sure you pay with a fee free currency conversion card like 28 Degrees.

  dual or single SIM ?

  hawamahal on 01/06/2017 - 08:25

  Most likely will be region locked by Samsung i.e. can be used with any EU SIM, but not with others.

  imket on 01/06/2017 - 08:30

  should note that although its not network locked, it seems to be region locked.

  Can i unlock this if i have an italian sim card and roam call from within Australia?

  I bought from the previous Amazon.it deal and can confirm that the phone is region locked.
  However, I had a UK 3 sim, (similar to the deal here: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/306882) and was able to unlock it by receiving a call from my sister in the UK, while it was in roaming here.
  I am currently using the S8 with my Telstra sim.

  If anyone purchases this phone and wants to unlock, I can help out with my sim.

    kkwhong on 01/06/2017 - 09:17

    I also have a UK 3 sim that I can use.

    Am I right in thinking that I would be able to unlock the phone by calling from an Australian number(or Skype) to the S8 (with the UK sim).

      Yep, that should work too.

  • 

    kiwiinoz on 01/06/2017 - 09:28

    What other options do we have if we don't have UK Sim to unlock this? Put on Australian firmware?
    Can you confirm what exact model is it please. Thanks

      Sledge hammer usually works. Make sure it strikes the glass side.

      Supposedly Samsung can provide an unlock code. So you can try call them, I haven't heard of anyone that has tried that though.

      It's not possible to unlock by flashing a firmware.

    smarikoe on 01/06/2017 - 10:16

    Did you have to have any credit on your UK 3 Sim?

      Nope. It expired 2 months ago.
      Just keep in mind the sim itself will expire 6 months after credit expiry.

  $767 for a product that sells for $1200 locally. We're getting shafted man.

  • 

    pwrusr-com on 01/06/2017 - 22:26

    Considering Italians are getting +22% IVA (GST) on top of it (so real market value $935.74In), I'd tend to agree with you - someone's making a nice profit.

  So I guess you have to either go to Europe or have a roaming European sim and receive a call for 5 mins.
  I apologise, I wasn't aware of this region lock at time of posting.
