Still waiting for the Good Guys 10% discount code to pop up on your screen? Just close your browser and get it off Amazon instead. You can also get 5-6% on CR/Shopback making it pretty much the same price as the TGG deal ($1225.61 after 5%/$58.36, $1213.94 after 6%/$70.03).

It's still the pre-order period so you'll get the Galaxy Buds.

If you pre-ordered from Amazon at the full $1349 price, you should be getting a refund for the difference in the next 24-72 hours.

If you don't want the buds, you might as well buy it off eBay. They're out of 128GB models though.

    Just a few deals below is a Dell tagged almost the same as this phone and the only thing this phone does is have a hole instead of a notch compared to any other expensive flagship-excuse of a phone.

      Where have you been the past two years? :)

      Just a few deals below is a Dell tagged almost the same as this phone and the only thing this phone does is have a hole instead of a notch compared to any other expensive flagship-excuse of a phone.

      I assume you're referring to this XPS deal?

      You could say exactly the same about the XPS - why pay $1279 for the XPS13 when you can pay $815 for this Lenovo with a faster CPU and bigger screen?

      Some people don't mind paying a bit more for the latest processor, best camera, solid build, unique design, etc.

      • hugabuga222 on 06/03/2019 - 18:09

        Yes that's the deal I was referring to. Infact,t he Lenovo sounds like a good one lol.

        Perhaps i'm getting old but you can't really say that claim a 'solid' build with an edge to edge display which has the potential to crack and ruin the display panel with it. I'm not even sure about the holding part, but having to hold this with one hand or something might be difficult as there isn't any none-touchable area or side bezel so people might get unexpected touch points.

        An increment to Camera, Processor and other component spec does not warrant a steep yet double the price from a phone that did the same thing about two years ago comparing it to a phone that time.

        However, arguably, if it's using a 5G Modem tech they that warrants the R&D tax price. If it's still stuck on the 4G network, high pixel density phone with a battery that can't really keep up with how notoriously bad Android is app and battery management (thus the ever increasing RAM amount).. I don't think so.

        • onlinepred on 06/03/2019 - 18:13

          Stick to a laptop. Perhaps go buy the $200 one off gumtree, no point spending more than that clearly.

          Perhaps i'm getting old but you can't really say that claim a 'solid' build

          With all these modern phones, 'solid build' refers to feeling solid in the hand, as opposed to hollow-sounding plastic. All nice-looking phones nowadays will crack if you drop them, so a case is almost a necessity for many people. Samsung provides one in the box, fortunately.

          but having to hold this with one hand or something might be difficult as there isn't any none-touchable area or side bezel so people might get unexpected touch points.

          I was concerned about it at the start too, but after 2-3 years of using them, it never even crossed my mind. It just didn't affect me - until I got the Note 9. I have to really stretch to reach the far corners, resulting in unintended touches. That's why I'm going back to smaller phones again.

          If it's still stuck on the 4G network

          Honestly at this stage I'd rather get a 4G phone than a 5G phone. The second generation of 5G phones would be more power-efficient and there would actually be a 5G network to use.

          high pixel density phone

          Samsung fortunately sets the default resolution to FHD+ instead of the full WQHD+. That's a good move as it would save on battery life. If you do need the higher res (like with VR headsets for example), you can just bump it up to full.

          with a battery that can't really keep up with how notoriously bad Android is app and battery management

          No idea what the S10 is like, but the Mate 20 Pro is really good at battery management. Too good if you ask some people, but after you whitelist the apps you want, it does last ages. I notice the battery life on my Note 9 is really good too, so hopefully they're learning something.

          I don't think so.

          Sure.. this phone definitely isn't for everyone! It's a great time to pick up an S9 or S8 if the new features aren't attractive to you. I'm looking forward to the on-screen fingerprint reader and the wide angle lens - the two features I miss the most from the Mate 20 Pro.

          • hugabuga222 on 06/03/2019 - 18:37

            @eug: Fair points m8.

            The Pixel density shown on gsmarena suggest it's 1440x 3040. However, given that it's AMOLED, there could be the chance of it disabling some of the pixels and given that you mention that it uses FHD+ on default, then I'd assume that's the case or something similar.

            Every early 'x'G rollout starts rough and I have to agree with you on that about waiting for second gen phones supporting 5G.

            As of the battery management, it's more to do with how Android's heavy reliance on Java that makes it crappy. I am very much sure most of these phones, in fact older ones too running on the A53 core would suffice if it weren't for JVM hogging up everything. Whitelisting apps feels like a temporary bandaid to me than to actually fix the lower level of android in of itself. I think in Android Pie they introduced the 'AI' thingo which turns of apps not used in the background as often. Let alone with samsung's interface of bloat and bixby, who knows what's running on the background flagged as 'high priority do not terminate' which is pretty much useless.

            I'm still happy with my Oneplus 5t and it would be rather hypocritcal for me not to say that I bought at a steep price back then, but then again again this phone is double the price I paid yesteryear.

            I'll give samsung some credit for it's camera implementation, I think they really do a great job on that department indeed.

            Hopefully though, you and others enjoy using it, I am just concerned about the pricing starting to match up with Apple's shite-phones.

            Okay I am an old man rambling now, sorry about that. Have a good one! :D

          I can't be bothered to refute or explain your other objections/points but I just wanted to say that android is great at app and battery management.

          The S10+ and OnePlus6t just took a crap on the iPhone XS max in latest battery tests on YouTube. OnePlus lasted 9h 5 mins, S10+ lasted 9h 4 mins and the iPhone XS max lasted 6h 55 mins. In-fact all the Android phones in the test beat the iPhone. Search youtube for "galaxy s10 plus battery test xee", it's the vid with 410k views by XEETECHCARE.

      I don't know about you, but most phones in 2005 didn't have a headphone jack. Mostly proprietary connectors which was a pain in the butt because… you needed dongles to get a 3.5mm jack. Sound familiar?

      • [Deactivated] on 06/03/2019 - 18:14

        Seems like people really still fancy having one of these jacks on their phones. I suppose if the phone had a good DAC built in and you had some really good headphones and are an audiophile, then maybe you’ll find some advantage over wireless but otherwise, surely there is a good portion of people with wireless headphones by now? Phones without them usually come with the adapter anyways. So what’s the big fuss?

        • Fiximol on 06/03/2019 - 18:18

          If you want a phone without a headphone jack, they exist.

          Not sure what you gain tangibly from losing the 3.5mmheadphone jack. It's not as if phones are thinner than 4mm right now.

              @[Deactivated]: Ummm…. What? How exactly is the physical lack blocking technology? Samsung happens to have world leading wireless audio tech with their dual audio that allows concurrent broadcast to two different sets of BT headphones. So I don't see any relationship between the two.

                  @[Deactivated]: You will have to enlighten me. I can't see anything that would make removal of the 3.5mm jack make sense except to reduce the profile of the phone to less than 3.5mm. Even then you can always do a "headphone jack bump" the same way camera bumps work.

                    @Fiximol: So are you perfectly satisfied that until the end of time there must be a headphone jack in a mobile phone? You think a Billion dollar company would drop the headphone jack just for sh#ts & giggles? They’re obviously looking much further ahead. And so are now many android phone manufacturers as well. If we stay too complacent, what does that achieve? Technology changes and sometimes you gotta go without the old tech to make way for new. It doesn’t happen over night though. Samsung is holding on to the jack for now, but not on all their phones and a part of retaining the jack on the galaxy line is to have a perceived advantage in at least 1 aspect over their biggest rival. Let’s see how many more Galaxy iterations this will last for.

                      @[Deactivated]: I firmly believe that a former trillion dollar company removed the headphone jack to try and get people to buy wireless headsets for more profit. I firmly believe it has absolutely nothing to do with innovation.

                      And no, I am not saying that it has to remain in perpetuity, I am saying that the removal of it right now is pointless - once they have good enough battery and screen tech for phones to be slimmer than 3.5mm, then I can understand removing the jack. Until then, there is no reason (except a commercial one) for it to have happened. Having the headphone jack in place has not stifled innovation in wireless audio in any way, shape or form.

          My situation is a bit different. I often find myself in situations where I have to play some music at a venue through their audio system or just to test some speakers somewhere with a line input. When I switched to a phone without a headphone jack, it was a hassle to have to remember to bring the dongle every time. It's just another thing to lose.

          Also when watching videos, my Bluetooth earphones and headphones all have an audio delay. Gets annoying sometimes.

          The other problem with wireless headphones is that if they self-discharge in your bag, or you forget to charge them, they won't work. Now where did that dongle go…

          Because they are everywhere.

          You will find 3.5mm on 99% of devices but you can't find USB C or lightning on 1% of the devices that exist.

          The cables/headphones to use them are not proprietary and cheap.
          No special hardware/DACs are needed.

      Same here, but an S10+. Won't mention price as it's not exactly helpful for the rest of the OzB community (most I'll say is it was barely a touch more than what you paid for the S10).

      Early impressions are pretty good, definitely would never have bought it under normal circumstances(told myself I'd never buy a phone over $1000). One tip I can give is to update the software as soon as you get it as the fingerprint scanner is hopeless out of the box, however once updated it's near-flawless. My S7 is still going strong these past 3 years and was only going to replace it were it to actually die. Plan is to sell the S7 for ~$300 and basically have an S10+ for only a few hundred.

      Did not get the galaxy buds though, but that was a tradeoff I was more than happy to make, all things considered.

        ** But as you are one of the valued customers we have, so as an exception, I have issued a refund $50 (1499 - 1449 = 50) to your original payment method, this refund takes 2-10 business days to reflect into your card."

      The link is still on pre-order (not Buy Now) so it is automatic. To make sure, go to your order detail page and you can see the total price that will be deducted, which should be this current price. This is the "Pre-order Price Guarantee".

    Waiting for Sony Xperia 1.

    Ships from and sold by Becextech.

    Hmm. Is Amazon out of stock? Be careful! Becextech doesn't seem to sell AU stock.

      Uh oh. They might have! I'd better update the description.
      edit: Looks like I can't edit the description any more as it automatically changes the alternate domain to becextech.

        does that mean we don't get the free ear buds?

        • eug on 06/03/2019 - 23:37

          If the seller you bought from was Amazon, you do.

          • Tina22 on 06/03/2019 - 23:38

            @eug: But not if it says as above 'Ships from and sold by Becextech'

            • eug on 06/03/2019 - 23:40

              @Tina22: Yes, because the seller is Becextech and not Amazon.

        Yikes! Is that why the price dropped $4. I was wondering why that was.

        Can someone tell me if I'm safe? That's what it shows me in my orders

          You're safe, that's what it should be. Mine shows that too. What time did you order?

          • Nexo on 07/03/2019 - 00:01

            @eug: Wow, just looking back at my purchase, I purchased mine at 9:47 pm AEST (Syd), at 9:48 pm I took a screenshot of the Galaxy S10 page on Amazon to show a friend the deal and it changed to $1279 sold by Becextech. I think I may have got the last, or one of the last S10s from Amazon.

              @Nexo: Haha, congrats!
              I ordered mine a week or two ago, it shipped yesterday. Australia Post says it'll arrive tomorrow. Not sure if it actually will, since it's meant to arrive on Friday!

    Where to buy the Hong Kong version? Which has better CPU Snapdragon and dual sim cards at the same time, also got Google. I think this is the best version of the world. The Chinese model is the same hardware model, but google is banned in China.

    • Nexo on 06/03/2019 - 23:43

      Eglobalcentral for HK/Grey import version with snapdragon and dual sim.

    Now that it is expired, can we still claim the difference if ordered at RRP prior to this promo?
