          • @iforumos: Was that through an EPP store? Trade in deals? Bonus care?

            • @eug: Was a normal store. The normal store with a trade deal is always better than EPP or Education Store.

              • @iforumos: So that was a trade-in deal?

                • +1

                  @eug: Yeah has to be. Must have traded in a brand new iphone to get that amount of trade in value hahaha

            • @eug: That was through a $500 discount + $700 trade in deal.

              https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/669087

              He said the device was valued at $15 so that matches the $1284 figure in the picture.

                @eecan:

                That was through a $500 discount + $700 trade in deal.

                Oh right, he should have mentioned that crucial difference in his original post. He made it sound like the standard price of the 512GB model was simply $1.3k when it was actually the 256GB model and involving a trade-in deal.

          • @iforumos: Nice, will wait for $1200 or lower (without trade in)
            I got the Fold2 for $1000 from EPP. Its so much better than iPhone :-)

  • Anyway to get the $50 voucher code, usual way still don't work

    • N/m found one

      • Where did you find this?

          • +7

            @FeZZa21: Heya friends!

            For whatever reason, the vouchers generate and come through to me - so I can generate one for anyone that needs it.

            Flick me a PM and I'll do my best to respond to each request within 24 hours.

  • won't be returning to samsung until the battery life can match 13 pro max. It's not like the flagship Samsungs are a bargain compared to the iPhone pro series, they're both in the pricey-phone territory.

    • +4

      I can put up with less battery than deal with iOS which is horrific

      • what's horrific with IOS? curious about your opinion.

        I've been an android guy my whole smartphone life (10 years) and switched to 13 pro max from an S22 U and I have no complaints. It does the job perfectly for me.

        • -2

          don't listen to @lifestories ios can do everything Android can and better, like widgets!
          I've sen ppl stick usb drives into iphones, plus connect monitors for desktop mode, resizable windows for apps by default and install apps for multitasking and full background services and all.
          and all the while using less battery too, cos ios background services dont need to consume any memory or power, they just wok!
          please don't tell ppl you have been an Android guy for 10 years and you didn't learn any advanced Android system features… that makes us ios ppl sad to know you wasted those years, or your slow :(

          • -1

            @davidng4534: Used android for 10 years, on my first iPhone now. No regrets. It just works. Samsungs are expensive as fu** nowadays, no way im putting up with half the battery life of the 13 pro max for the same price. Don't know how dudes on YouTube are showing 8-9 hour battery life as my friends and I with our s22 U could not get more than 4.5 hours in the 16 hours it stays unplugged for (morning to night). 13 pro max does 9 hours with ease.

          • +1

            @davidng4534: @davidng4534 LOL pretty much ALL those things you mentioned Android was doing well before iOS even thought about it. Up until a few years ago, 'multitasking' on iOS was just switching apps. They only followed the Android way of allowing split screen fairly recently. Also, you mention widgets as an example but widgets on Android were there almost a good 8 years before iOS and they're FAR better. You can get them to look any way you like, resize them, change colours, fonts, whatever. They're so customisable on Android whereas on iOS, you get only whatever widget options the App and Apple deem appropriate.

    Just went down to the Samsung store and had a look at it today - looks quite good compared to my Z Fold 2
    - shiny bezel
    - matte back
    - the change in cover display aspect ratio is noticeable
    - the bezels are wayyyyy smaller on the internal screen
    - hinge is much much smaller
    - crease is less noticeable
    - the folding mechanism feels much less mechanical

  • Time for Samsung to lock iPhone 14 buyers

  • -3

    wow, 2 grand for a phone. Such a bargain.

  • Sorry, due to an error, trade-in service is unavailable at the moment!!! THE TRADE IN SERVICE NEVER WORKS!!!

    • I did 2 yesterday, my friend did 1 last night.

  • Thanks OP and other commenters good info purchased two.

    Trade in works atleast for me did this twice one for me and the brother, bit worried about long term durability and past issues with screen protector on older models seems to get better with each model and has better adhesive this time around I read.

    So added Samsung Care extra $299 down the road can get a new replacement regardless of condition. Program seems to get some negative reviews but also includes reviews with issues with fridges and TVs which would be a hassle and cost to ship back and forth so understand company would make it more difficult on these items. Might be eating my words in two years time lol but will roll the dice for $199. Previous 3 day new phone which I sat down as not to drop whilst climbing a ladder then an unseen brick from ceiling or God dropped on the screen cracking it :(

    But after all discounts works out as.

      Didn't you use the code to get free Samsung Care?

      • +1

        Wouldn't work with my trade in said invalid code had used a $50 sign up one. But I'm going to contact them see what they can do thanks for the comment.

    • +2

      Hmm, did you not use the BONUSCARE code above? You get free Samsung Care with it. You should be able to cancel the order easily and re-order if you missed it.

      • Wouldn't work with my trade in said invalid code had used a $50 sign up one. But I'm going to contact them see what they can do thanks for the heads up.

        • +1

          You need to add Samsung Care+ to your cart first, then enter the code.

          • @iforumos: After a long chats with Samsung they couldn't fix it saying discount is only 50% so cancelled the orders and reordered.

            New price $1,533.25 free Samsung Care

    • How did u got fold 4 for 1425.93??

      • +1

        Traded in Samsung S21 5G
        -$1025

        Plus all the discounts.

        Samsung care is basically free if you use the code BONUSCARE as it's another 50% off the already 50% discount. Worth $195.50

        Or use the $50 sign up bonus to lower device only just the device if you don't care for the Samsung Care.

    • How did you get 1025$ for a trade in or a S21 5g?

      • $525 + $500 Bonus Trade in.

        • Isn't it 200 on Edu store?
          How did you manage to get 500?

          • @HarleyRider: you are getting 200?? mine is showing as 150 lol (Edu store)

            Oh well, ended up paying $994 for flip4 ($50 code, free samsung care, only $5 trade in value from a S8) which is ok I guess

            *edit oh wait, maybe it's 200 for fold and 150 for flip?

    • When trading in a phone, when do u have to send back the phone, after the fold4 arrives right? Surely not before?

  • how can i solve this error? ?

    :Sorry, due to an error, trade-in service is unavailable at the moment!!:

    PLEASE HELP~

    • When does that appear?

      • yesterday and now

        • When clicking on what?

          • @eug: when i clicked trade in, entered the trade in ID, it show up the error message

            • @CDG: I think there is something wrong with your trade ID. Just delete Trade Up app then reinstall and register a new Trade ID

            • +1

              @CDG: Have you traded that phone before and not sent it in? Is it a secondhand phone? Most likely the IMEI is blocked from trade-in or has been used beforee

              • @0 0 0: oh…i guess so. Yes i used that phone to trade in last year and did not return it.

                • +1

                  @CDG: Yep that's why then. Can't double dip šŸ˜‰

                  • @0 0 0: damn!!!! i thought it can

                    • @CDG: Sell on eBay and buy another to trade

    • Are you using an ad blocker or javascript blocker?

  • Will wait till there's a trade in bonus, and reviews are out for it.

    • There is a 200$ trade in bonus already, and I don't think it will change until pre-order end. After that they will probably increase the bonus value, but you also miss the free ROM upgrade from the pre-order.

  • I did try my note 20 ultra for trade in app and it said not eligible cuzz mine is snapdragon one and honking version. Seems make sense

    I do have the edu email but the main thing then I can't trade in my note. Lol.

    In my xase so jb hifi deal seems better which is traded in accept and bonus $600 with phone $450.

    So total cost is 1450. Any one knows can we buy the samsung care plus thru jb hifi ?

    • Hey I tried something similar with my tablet as its a USA model, but with JB trade in online, on the next page it doesnt recognise my IMEI or serial… I wonder if instore itll be the same, did you have any success?

      • Mine is recognised mate. Got 450 for note 20 ultra snapdragon version.

  • Hi all. Is anyone willing to help me with access to the Samsung Edu store? Is it a simple thing to do or..?

    Very interested to go the Fold4 route, and from my research, the Samsung Edu store and JB have the best deals (without signing up to a new contract).

    I do remember someone sharing how to do this in ozb, but I can't find that link.

    Thanks in advance!

      Could also be worth checking the classifieds for people selling 50% off vouchers for the Fold. Should make it cheaper to buy outright

  • +1

    Thanks OP - bit late to the party, just grabbed the 1TB with trade in and newsletter discount. Now all I have to do is wait until 1 September :-)

  • Any case recommendations? Ordered the Beige 512gb today as I wanted a change from my green/black Fold 3 which is basically the same as black. The case will cover the colour anyway apart from the hinge. Anyone know if the cases with the ring holder/stand and metal plate still allow for NFC payments and wireless charging?

    • +2

      I liked the aramid case from the Fold 3 but it looks like Samsung aren't making it for the Fold 4. I ordered an Aliexpress version instead.

      • Thanks might give it a go though it'll take ages to deliver

        • Surprisingly some of the things I ordered from Aliexpress in the past few months have arrived within two weeks. Hopefully the case will too!

    • What's a ring holder? Any popsocket attachment will cancel any wireless charging and power sharing abilities plus add more bulk to an already bulky phone.
      Not to mention causes more rocking on a table if you care.

      Don't even get started with metal plates if you plan to wireless charge…the metal plates will heat up so much it'll probably cause damage to your battery in the long run

      • I use the Peak Design Mobile Universal Adaptor on my Fold 3. It works great with the wireless-charging magnetic car mount, the wireless charging stand, and the bike mount. It works with a standard wireless charger too.

        I did have to dremel a notch to fit the camera bump to get the placement of the adaptor right though.

        NFC payments works fine too.

        • Wow that's really expensive. Beyond my budget unfortunately

          • @0 0 0: Wait for a sale. I ordered it during the kickstarter launch so it was even cheaper. All the bits last many years across multiple phones so I could justify spending the money.

    • Ringke Slim in black goes quite well with the Beige. Nice contrast between matte black finish and champagne silver/gold accents of the phone + camera cutout

  • I have traded my S10+ (screen broken) while placing the order and got $200 as trade-in value. So far i haven't received any email on how should i ship the mobile or next steps. Does anyone has received any emails on this.

    • You'll receive an email with return instructions from Samsung when your new phone is delivered.

  • has any traded Samsung Galaxy Fold 1 (512 GB)? Keen to know how much you got …. mine is working fine with out any issues or scratches…. is it $500 (Bonus) + $525 (Trade-in) ?? or something else

    • +1

      $295 for the z fold 1 +the bonus

      • how much was the bonus…. was that $500?

        • +1

          500 for the standard store or 200 for the edu I think

  • Has anyone's Fold 4 shipped earlier than expected?

    • Some people have received a tracking number in their Auspost app. I haven't though.

  • Does anyone know if the newsletter code works with preorder?

    • It does

    • +1

      It does but the signup seems broken at the moment, tried 3 different emails and still haven't received any of them.

    • +7

      Flick me a PM if you want a code! It works with my email, and I've sent about 200 codes to OzBargainers this year :)

      • +1

        Thanks again!

      • I've sent you a pm, thanks

      • Would you share your exp how to have the code in a probably fast way? Not about sending an email to samsung and fingercrossed that they will reply with a code? Thanks in advance….

  • +1

    Got my tracking notice today from Startrack

    • Congrats - what was your order date?

      • 16 August

    • +1

      Got my tracking notice today too. I ordered on the 11th.

      • Awesome thanks - did you get an email from startrack or Samsung?

        • I got a text from Startrack. The Samsung orders page still says "Processing".

  • +1

    mine is shipped and expected delivery is tomorrow as per Auspost tracking site. i have ordered mine on 16th Aug

    • Received my Fold 4 today….. i was using Fold 1 for a while and now Fold 4 will be a decent jump.

      • I've noticed a jump from the Fold 3 to 4. More refined and larger front screen.
