Thanks/credit to l005e for commenting on their experience on the previous S10e deal. Seems cheaper than the student deal online.

I went into the Samsung pop up store in Penrith. Standard S10e price is $799, AND I ASKED them to check. (Caps lock because at first they said no way!) Their store manager checked and yes, so long as I was willing to sit down for a 10 minute diagnostic on my S8. Result is an S10e for $599. No exchange required so I'll be selling my S8 shortly! Go for it!

2 year warranty, but single SIM Exynos as it's official Samsung stock.

    This is the kind of ingenious marketing that rewards loyalty and makes people want to stick with a brand.
    Although can people just "borrow" a Samsung for about 10 minutes?

      Keeps people on the Samsung ecosystem and rewards peeps who already gave Samsung business previously. Unfortunately Ozbargainers will find a way to exploit.

      Woulda jumped on this if didn't get mi 9t JB deal. Incredible price.

        I meant are they selling other new models with a discount, but that's also good information.

        Anyway I found the answer in l005e comment. The discount is on all S10 models except the Note.

        I was thinking of a tcl plex or a realme x2 but heard some connection issues with android auto on the forums that do lineage is etc (xda?) So stuck with what I know!

  • Tehcookiemonsta on 22/02/2020 - 17:18

    Wonder how the S10e Holds up to the xiaomi 9t, which was $400 at JB

    Looking at the specs at gsmarena comparing this phone doesn't have such amazing specs, and the battery? 3100 seems a bit low to me not much different than my samsung s7?

    • murkywater on 22/02/2020 - 18:35

      Way better than the Mi9T no comparison

      • Tehcookiemonsta on 22/02/2020 - 18:56

        In what way is it WAY better, care to elaborate? you make it feel like one of them is a flip phone and the other is some amazing phone which is definitely not the case?

        what's so much better with the samsung? slightly better processor and GPU?, worse battery life, smaller screen, Camera's seem to be even?

          Camera on the s10e is way better than the Mi9T

          S10E is a flagship Samsung phone, its better in most ways

            @freoleo: Care to show that? because in GSmarena they look quite the same both in video and photos… also the S10e is not flagship. The S10 and + models are flagship.

              +6

              @Tehcookiemonsta: Other than CPU and GPU, there are some differences:

              • S10e has USB 3.0 support (unlike Xiaomi phones, even their so called flagship phones are only USB 2.0). USB-C/3.0 not only provides speed advantage, also allows HDMI out. You could get a USB-C multi-port hub and use it properly. With Xiaomi phones, you can forget about HDMI out.
              • Wireless ax support (interestingly, the CPU in Xiaomi 9T is ax capable, but Xiaomi elected not to implement it - to be fair other phones with that chipset are in the same boat).
              • HDR screen quality that is better than S9 series in HDR specs.
              • MicroSD card support.
              • Wireless charging (bi-directional).
              • Waterproof.

              Also, from OS point of you, MIUI is a mixed bag. It has some nifty features, but it tends to have some odd issues here and there.

              Sure, you could argue that most people don't need USB 3.0, microSD card support and wireless charging and HDR10+ are somewhat gimmicky. But, S10e retained enough key flagship features so it doesn't feel like Xiaomi 9T (which basically cuts every corner that can be cut and retain just the key bits - cameras and current gen mid range CPU/GPU). Are those things worth $200 more?

            @freoleo: Have S10e and camera is crap. Upgraded from A5. Think the A5 was better even.

        • mbck on 22/02/2020 - 23:16
          +5

          Not saying which phone is better, but from what I gathered

          The mi9t

          1080p screen (more than enough) 6.39 inch
          Better battery life
          No OIS
          Night mode is only for main camera (none for tele or wide)
          Single bottom firing speaker
          Headphone jack!!
          Indisplay fingerprint sensor
          No wireless charging
          Midrange cpu and gpu
          Android 10 coming soonish
          No official dust/waterproof rating

          S10e

          Smaller screen, also 1080p 5.8 inch
          Has ois, but not telephoto (not a big miss tbh)
          Dual speaker
          Headphone jack!
          Indisplay fingerprint sensor
          Wireless charging
          Flagship cpu and gpu
          Already has android 10 (rare for a samsung!)
          Ip68 official dust/waterproof rating.

          The xiaomi looks sexier the. But if you can get a good price, the s10e would last longer/futureproof

          • JFFTech on 22/02/2020 - 23:57

            @mbck: Another important point to add.

            Mi9T - One year manufacturer warranty (for AU stock)
            S10e - Two years manufacturer warranty

          • lordra on 23/02/2020 - 00:11

            @mbck: Great comparison, S10e wins at that price point.

      Being on mainstream brand/os will have its perks. Like more 3rd party accessories, usb to hdmi support, data back ups, timely updates. We have in our family xiaomi, pixel, samsung and lg. Only if pixel didn't drop the ball, i would recommend Samsung for all the perks above.

    Is there any possible way to do this online? I just bought my wife the s10e for 669 through the education store, which was a great price. At 599 I'd definitely get myself one. I don't live anywhere near a Samsung store though. Or is it just a store that stocks Samsung phones?

    • burtie on 23/02/2020 - 16:18

      I grabbed one this morning and the salesperson had to take details from my old S4 to put the deal through. She gave me the $200 off because the diagnostic test on my s4 showed that the battery was struggling. I assume you would need to go in store to get one so they can check out the old phone to find a reason to upgrade.

      • CustardShot on 23/02/2020 - 16:51

    Got one from Macquarie Centre Samsung store at $599.00.

    I dropped my Xiaomi Mi 9T phone today and killed the screen on the spot and sadly need to buy a new phone asap and jumped to the S10e.
    I would not say the S10e is way better than the Mi 9T. In fact, I would happily get the Mi9T again instead of the S10e if Jb is still running the $399 special. I was just blown away by how great my Mi9T provided at its price tag.

    It is noticeable the S10e battery drains faster than the Mi 9T.

    • Top G on 22/02/2020 - 20:22

      That's worrying I have mi 9t but my previous s6 edge took many hits with only small cracks in the glass to show for it.

      Samsung build quality is top notch on galaxy S series.

      • Tigeh on 27/02/2020 - 14:14

        That was definitely a generational thing. My S6 cracked never, my S5 cracked once, my S7 cracked three times and my S8+, which I've had for much longer, has had 6 screen replacements at this point.

    Pretty amazing price if you can get it. Personally I like the flat screen on the s10e. Less hassle buying protective accessories.

    Probably why future S series are slowly moving back to flat screens, cheaper/higher production = more profit.

    • seraphim2017 on 22/02/2020 - 22:49

      Flat screen after s8 and crappy curved screen protectors for me too. Curves just mean they can state larger screen size without actually being more useful, and the only 'pocket sized' flagship I could find.

      • Metre on 22/02/2020 - 23:40

        It's pretty much end of an era as was with 3D TVs. Samsung's very good at pushing these kinds of essentially obsolete high margin products.

        Once they get the yield right for the under screen camera screens, they'll be laughing again.

        We gotta stick to our bargain brains lol. Cheap/reliable/fast, pick 3.

    • Perch on 23/02/2020 - 08:20

      Despite the flat screen I've had hell trying to purchase tempered glass on eBay. I usually stick with Nuglass but their standard ones leave around 4-5mm (!) on both sides of the display uncovered!
      Their "3d curved glass" ones (which are still flat for s10e!) are only available with a black border which covers actual pixels.

      The only ones I've found to fit are slightly curved at the edges with one thin strip of glue at the curve only. They leave a tiny airgap that increases reflectivity. The curve is tricky to fit flush and catches dust underneath.

      Apologises for the rant! In short, do you have any recommendations for tempered glass?

      • Metre on 23/02/2020 - 09:01

        For all S series with curve, spend a little more on Whitestone Dome glass. They work directly with Samsung for the best user experience. Pricy but well worth it.

        Note: there are UV glue glass imitations on the market, they will harm the screen as the liquid is cheap and nasty.

    At Penrith pop up store now. Walking away with my finances new s10e for $599. Thank you OzB!

    Advice:
    Had to convince the staff to check with manager. Usually this "check up loyalty discount whatever" is only available for full price handsets.
    For whatever reason it's currently stackable with the s10e's discounted price.
    Get on it before someone realises!

        Not exactly sure how much the offer is but my impression is it's $200 off any full-price handset. Could be completely wrong though.

        Tbh there's not much reason to go for the s10 unless you want more zoom, marginally bigger screen and sonic fingerprint sensor (which is much slower than the cspacitative in the s10e. But you do you n_n

Only after mentioning this promo did they say yes to $599. They claim the deal requires an AU version of any Samsung phone.

    My samsung s5 died few months back and had a local store look at it for free which i said ifs its going to cost me or cost heaps to fix forget it. He said before looking could need a new chip. It turns on etc but has that Android guy on all time saying do not turn off downloading,i tried heaps of things prior to asking guy at store with no luck. Guy at store said as it would need a new chip if the truth would need to break the screen and then obviously replace chip so not really worth it. He said probably cheaper buying a used s5. I ended up getting the a20 instead on low price deal at big w with a 25 off voucher at time and then mnanaged to get Vodafone to unlock for free but that was hard work getting that.

    This a20 seems good for what i paid but my goal was always to get the better phone funds permit. Wife has the s5 also so could maybe benefit from deal also her phone still works but mine turns on but thats about as far as it goes.
