Pre-ordered one myself last night so I thought I'd share.

If you have access to an email address that ends in .edu.au you can gain access to Samsungs education shop that gets you 10% off the RRP of Galaxy S9/S9+. My purchase also got picked up on cash rewards also for 5% back.

so a 64gb S9+ at $1349 RRP works out to;

$1,214.10
+ free wireless charger (for pre-order, $119 RRP)
+ 10k Qantas points (which you can trade in for ~$50 in gift vouchers)
+ 5% back from cash rewards
+ Aus stock (obviously)
+ free delivery

to gain access to the Samsung educational portal you need to create a samsung account (any email address).
After you have created the account if you try to access the educational portal you'll be asked for an email address that ends in .edu.au
Once you input the email they will send a confirmation to your .edu.au address that you have to click on (email link expires in 30 minutes)
After that your original samsung account is permanently flagged and you can visit the education portal anytime (no need for the .edu.au email afterwards)

If you don't have a Qantas frequent flyer account to claim the points you can create one for free via this link

      I just did a live chat with a Samsung rep. They would refer you to brightstar directly to do a tradeup if you purchase through the education portal. However, you will not be eligible for the promotional $125 trade up bonus credit from Samsung.

        +2

        All the reviews (I read) says that S9 is a solid toc release from Samsung, and is a great if not one of the best phone released this year. It is better to search up these reviews for more details on S9 and S9+. Nowadays, I say neither of the OS is inferior to the another one. Android and iOS has their own pro and cons, if your brother switch back in near future, it is not S9's issue, it is user preference.

          • Because it doesnt cost $50 to make
          • Some people use it to do more then just make calls - some people hardly make any calls with them these days
          • Its a flag-ship product, flagship phones dont cost $50
          • Its iterative, how much do you expect to change in one year? Who is compelling you to upgrade from the previous model?
          • Many people buy these on contract so the cost is spread over 12-24 months.

          If you're happy with your current phone, why do you even care if someone shells out a bunch of money for a phone? Its not like you're paying for it.

    • gezza90 on 13/03/2018 - 16:51
      +3

      You can't compare the cost price of a phone to the selling price.
      How will Samsung pay all the engineers and other specialists to support the design, manufacture/supply, integrate components and test these phones?
      It probably cost them a total of $5bn to introduce this product and if each sells for $50-$60, company might go bankrupt and you won't see a Galaxy s10.

      It's like saying, during peak hour it only costs a train operator $2/pp to move them from point A to B but the ticket price is $10. Well who paid billions of dollars to purchase the trains? configure them to the network? integrate with signalling equipment? paying full time salaries for network operations?

      • idonotknowwhy on 14/03/2018 - 15:31

        Fire the touchwiz team, put stock Android on there, people will then get better phones at cheaper prices?

        • gezza90 on 14/03/2018 - 16:54

          Had to Google what Touchwiz is because I use a HTC.
          I could give you my opinion but doesn't mean it's the right one. I guess it's Samsung's strategy in not having to rely on Google or the 'open handset alliance' hence they have developed their capabilities in that space. Theoretically and conceptually, it gives them a competitive advantage over other android mobile manufacturers that rely on the stock abdroid UI and don't have control over the OS like HTC? Xiaomi?

        • idonotknowwhy on 14/03/2018 - 17:36

          @gezza90: yeah, theoretically. Except it sucks so badly. Even the blindest, most loyal Samsung famboiis don't like TouchWiz. It makes perfectly good top end hardware run like the $99 Coles phone lol

    I have the Samsung S8 and don't feel tempted to upgrade. The S9 has the same USB-C charging port, headphone jack, front-facing camera, RAM, battery, 5.8-inch display and Bixby button. They upgraded the speakers, changed where the fingerprint sensor is and the camera can now capture at f-1.5 and f-2.4, but the megapixels are still at 13mega pixels. If I had a Samsung s5 or 6 then yes it would be a big upgrade.

    OP, I know what kiseki means in Korean!

    • biltong2go on 13/03/2018 - 20:33
      +1

      Yes, after reading several reviews, the consensus seems to be that S8-owners should not feel too inclined to upgrade to the S9 as there are only incremental improvements and few new features, and, exactly as you said, if you own an S7 or older, then you should likely consider the upgrade. I own an S6 and am keen.

      No I couldnt , it takes you to the normal Samsung . I had the edu site open with the phone in my cart and it wasnt in my cart when i went thru cashrewards. It didnt bother me if I missed out so I still bought it (with the other pages still open) and I got the email from cashrewards saying it was tracking.

      • flagger on 14/03/2018 - 10:35

        So you opened the edu site and added the phone to the cart first, then opened cashrewards in a new tab and went through to the normal samsung site. After that you checked out on the edu site with the normal site still open and it tracked ok?

    • idonotknowwhy on 14/03/2018 - 15:33

      The points are most vauable if you upgrade a flight to business class. They end up worth anywhere from 3-8 cents per point.
      You can also sell them for about 1c / point online.
      YOur gift card is worth 0.5c / point.

      • NekuTheDude on 14/03/2018 - 16:42

        Interesting. How do you sell them? When you check out on the Samsung website, do you just put in someone elses qantas ID to give it to them?
