JB have made this $50 cheaper than their BF Catalogue $899 deal which hasn't started yet. I'm not sure if the price will revert at 7pm or stay at this price now for Black Friday, I assume the later. This was done perhaps to match Telstra offer, however unlike the Telstra offer, you won't need to sign up to a plan and then cancel etc.

Edit: Amazon has price matched, main link updated. Thanks superfover.
Edit 2: Officeworks has price matched too. Thanks Uskompuf.

Note: The 4G version may seem tempting at $100 less, however it comes with a lesser Exynos processor and most OzBargainers would recommend against it.

    touch screen issues stay away

    • Top G on 24/11/2020 - 11:54

      Why people downvote a legit PSA . The glaring touchscreen issues which hasn't been fixed is putting me off from getting this.

      • CrazyDragon on 24/11/2020 - 13:00

        Yep agree. I was so set on getting this and all I see and hear are the unresolved issues.

    • [Deactivated] on 24/11/2020 - 11:59

      Also as a decade long Samsung user I recommend people stay away from the S20+ as well. It's a battery burning, overheating pile of wasted money. Barely feels improved over the previous 2 models. I read warnings here before I purchased but ignored them as phone wars tripe.

      • Axelstrife on 24/11/2020 - 12:08

        As a Samsung user since the very first Galaxy S, the S20+ i have has had zero issues, anyone with issues should seek replacement.

        • [Deactivated] on 24/11/2020 - 12:14

          Well you have a year on me, I started with S2. My S20+ is a pile of crap.

          • Axelstrife on 24/11/2020 - 16:07

            @[Deactivated]: Unlucky, i know my battery life isn't as good as the Snapdragon variant but mine still last's quite a while and ive had no real complaints about it but everything else runs perfectly.

            Definitely some good options around, i only went with this cause i has access to the samsung goverment store and got it for a good price otherwise i'd of went for a Oneplus.

        • jerryme on 24/11/2020 - 13:30

          I had issues with my first S20+ due to consecutive boot loops. After two warranty claims, I was given a new device. Going pretty solid now.

        Barely feels improved over the previous 2 models….

          My days of buying the latest Samsung when I need a new phone are over. My son's Pixel 4a seems like a good buy, I'll also look at the 5 among other options.

        • Ronnnie on 24/11/2020 - 22:47

          Tbh this phone is a downgrade in some respects compared with my old Samsung. I don’t understand how these newer phones are considered bargains at $849. Phones see very small incremental improvements.

    • Edwardrw on 24/11/2020 - 13:59
      +2

      I pre-ordered this phone and have been using since then. There were two or three software updates and the latest one was released two days ago.

      No touch screen issue to me.

      Watched many reviews in YouTube before purchasing it. Great upgrade from my old S8.

      Pros - great camera / 120hz / louder speaker
      Good battery life

      Cons - fingerprint unlock function is not very accurate
      The vibration motor is a bit weak imo.

      • equinoxxx on 24/11/2020 - 17:57

        same here I bought mine from Gov EPP store 256 8gb ram model works great.

        Never had issues perhaps others are not updating Android OS?

        • Techie4066 on 28/11/2020 - 15:35

          I am. Most recent update has made it worse in some ways.

      • Techie4066 on 28/11/2020 - 15:35

        Fingerprint is accurate for me. Finger just needs to be clean and dry.

    • jazeng on 24/11/2020 - 20:58

      thanks for the warning - will wait for another phone deal now

    • Spending2Much on 27/11/2020 - 00:59

      What would you suggest as an upgrade to the S10

      • snowl on 27/11/2020 - 01:04

        s20?

    • Techie4066 on 28/11/2020 - 15:33

      It's true. I've owned it for a month and a half - THIRD UPDATE has still not fixed it. It was fixed for a few hours maximum.

      HOWEVER it is absolutely not a deal-breaker. It's only present when pinching to zoom.

    Same price at Amazon.

    • hamza23 on 24/11/2020 - 11:54

      Thanks, was waiting for them to update it. I was looking at a colour that hadn't had the price dropped yet.

      • Kangal on 24/11/2020 - 14:14

        It's been at $900 or above on gumtree/ebay. Funny how it's cheaper to buy Brand New straight through JB Hifi or Amazon.

    I got this deal from JB on the 19th of October and cancelled the same day to pay out the ETC. I still haven't received a bill from Telstra, does anyone know how long they take?

    • xoom on 24/11/2020 - 12:10

    • vawiyoci on 24/11/2020 - 12:10

    • dazweeja on 24/11/2020 - 12:38

      I did the same on the 28th October. No communication from Telstra since then.

        Good to see that I'm not the only one. I'll just wait another month and see what happens. I kind of recall them saying something about getting a bill after the 2nd cycle?

        • bluepop on 24/11/2020 - 20:32

          Did you guys port a number or sign up a new one?

            +1

            @bluepop: Wasn't able to sign up to a new one (I asked) had to port. Since I had no intention of staying on the plan, I went into Optus and got a $2 Sim and number to pot into Telstra. Also, they wouldn't let me port from any Telstra carrier (i.e. belong / boost).

                @bluepop: Don't make the same mistake I did, which was to top up $10 on the Optus Sim in order to activate it. Apparently you can skip the credit card bit of the Optus activation process by typing in an incorrect card number 3 times.

      • Michaelz101 on 25/11/2020 - 10:40

      I signup on the 28th Oct and cancelled on the 30th Oct and got the first pro-rata bill on the 2nd Nov and got the ETC bill on the 15th Nov

      28th Oct - Signup
      30th Oct - Cancel after a long negotiation to get some discount on the ETC
      2nd Nov - First pro-rata bill arrive $6++
      15th Nov - Final bill arrive for the remaining ETC amount (discount not shown here but will be in their system)

    • Dr No on 24/11/2020 - 14:48

    My S20 FE phone was assesed my Samsung as "no fault" and returned to me with latest software update. Pinch to zoom is mostly fine now - laggy scrolling is fixed. I'd say it's much better now - but still hesitate to reccomend it.

    • [Deactivated] on 24/11/2020 - 13:29
      +1

      This is why I haven't bothered taking my phone in, they don't test real world conditions. They probably factory reset and test it for 2 minutes before saying it's acceptable and returning it to you. I had an issue with my 8+ battery that I had to take it in 3 times before they accepted that the battery was badly fatigued within 18 months to the point that it would die before midday.

      • Drpepper666 on 24/11/2020 - 13:36

        Yeah the notes indicate they just flashed latest software/firmware, tested and said it was fine. To be fair the issue is mostly resolved now with the latest update. I won't say 100% resolved as I only received it yesterday, but it's much better.

  • Lief on 24/11/2020 - 14:39
    +2

    I'm about 90% happy with this phone.
    the 10% is niggling annoyances like basically no choice for most accessories (cases, screen protectors) and There's no proximity sensor so the thing has no idea how to turn the screen off and keep it off during a call.
    I haven't had any touch screen issues (yet). It's the 5G model so maybe that's it, but i doubt it.

    • superforever on 24/11/2020 - 15:07

      There's no proximity sensor

      I think not working, how is it possible for a $900 phone without proximity sernsor.

      • Lief on 24/11/2020 - 15:12

        Dunno, I googled the problem and people were saying it doesn't have one, or has a "virtual" proximity sensor based on the camera.

      • Rimas on 24/11/2020 - 15:14
        +1

        It uses AI and the front camera to detect your face (ears) when on calls. It was a bit glitchy at first and would not turn the screen off while on a call, but the latest November update has fixed it perfectly for me. I'm using the 256gb 5g version.

        • superforever on 24/11/2020 - 16:02

          LOL, $900 phone without proimity sensor XD, what are they thinking.

            +1

            @superforever: It's actually innovative and should not be laughed at. It eliminates the need for a notch and reduces costs so provided it can be done using AI and the camera, it's a great thing.
