Guys first post here and I think I have a banger

The Samsung Edu portal seems to have reduced price for the online exclusive colours (so not applicable to the normal colours) across the whole Z range. (Receive 30% off Galaxy Z Fold5 Online Exclusive Colours from 12:00am (AEST) 14 Sept 2023 to 11:59pm (AEST) 24 Sept 2023. Discount will be applied automatically to the cart.)

Plus up-sized $450 trade in bonus (from $300 previously) until 04.10.2023 (according to the website, probably wrong)

The prices are now:
$1819.30 (256GB) - $450 bonus = $1369.30
$1959.30 (512GB) - $450 bonus = $1509.30
$2204.30 (1tb) - $450 bonus = $1754.30

So I was able to trade in my Flip 5 (512GB) to Fold 5 (256GB) for:
$1819.30
- $1190 Flip 5 trade in value
- $450 trade in bonus
= $179.30

The Flip 5 is also starting from $1154.30 (256GB) and $1294.30 (512GB) + 450 trade in bonus $350 trade in bonus

Thank you for coming to my Ted-X talk

edit: the trade in bonus is reflect after you add to cart

edit: Save more by switching to a flip 5 first

So for you it could be that:
Flip 5 (512GB) $1294 - fold 3 value $520 - $350 bonus = $424 out of pocket
Fold 5 (512GB) 1959 - flip 5 value $1190 - $450 bonus = $318 out of pocket
So total $424 + $318 = $743
So it is a $246 saving by jumping

Only issue is the time delay, may or may not miss out. Imagine if you did this after getting the S23 deal

    Great device for productivity.

    Personally, the folded thickness, the back screen width and the issues with the foldable screen is putting me off buying this device.

    I've got the Fold2 still going strong.
    Don't see any reason to upgrade anytime soon.
    So these phones do last a long time.

    • FeZZa21 on 15/09/2023 - 15:33

      no more OneUI/Android upgrades though

      • congo on 15/09/2023 - 16:29

        Don't see a need for the upgrades.
        I am saying if you get a Fold5, expect it to last 3-5 years.
        Considering how fast phones are these days, they don't "slow down" anytime soon.

  • tc423 on 15/09/2023 - 15:30

      This deal is exactly showing ozbargain people dont spend 2 grand on this phone.

      It's sub $1400 for latest flagship productivity beast… Read the post 😀

      • OZBsince2018 on 15/09/2023 - 16:46

        Or may be its Samsung marketing strategy i.e. a phone that should actually be priced sub $1,400, priced at above $2,000 at launch and then offer this type of deals to make us all believe we are getting a good deal 😅

        • Ronnnie on 16/09/2023 - 15:15

          I guess there's a lot of R&D costs that go into these things. And really no competition at this point. So Samsung are in a unique position they can charge a premium for them. From the perspective of a small tablet and phone at $1400 it doesn't seem too bad. I was looking at the Y700 tablet and those things are heading near around half that without the latest specs or an oled screen etc. The funny thing about the Fold its cheaper in this deal than the Apple pro phone and it isn't even really that much heavier or bulkier but then you get an 7.6 inch screen.

          What turns me off the fold is the aspect ratio, battery life and durability concerns but i suppose those are worthy trade offs for some.

          • dealsucker on 18/09/2023 - 15:19

            @Ronnnie: If they could charge a premium for it, they wont discount is by 50%. There is no competition in Australia but elsewhere there is.

        • b0b0 on 15/09/2023 - 20:10

          On second thought, I will try to be polite and pretend that you are genuinely ignorant and asking a real question.

          When folded the phone is nothing but a subpar, thick phone with small screen.

          When unfolded, I use my Fold 4 to read and write emails, attend meetings on Webex, MS Teams, review and approve documents (links directly to work Sharepoint), and many more.

          It's also great for Youtube and Netflix on train. Tiktok also works great because video and comments are displayed at the same time, in case you like that productivity

          The form factor is it can conveniently fold as a phone to place in a pocket.

          • Micsmit on 15/09/2023 - 20:19

            @b0b0: Oh sorry . I just read the rest of your extended message.

            Oh well. Have fun mate. I'm sure it's a great phone.

    • congo on 15/09/2023 - 19:43

      Fold generally drops in price each year.
      Sale usually around $1200 - $1500.
      Apple iPhones are $2,000 and rarely drop in price.

  • assailantsky on 15/09/2023 - 15:48

    For those who have bought previously from Samsung using these trade in deals, is GST charged on the pre bonus price ($1959.30) or the post bonus price ($1509.30) on the tax invoice? Looking to claim TRS.

    • b0b0 on 15/09/2023 - 15:51

      The bonus is treated as a discount off the RRP so it's post

      Unlike our favourite JB hifi who applies discount in the way of JB gift cards :-)

  • vawiyoci on 15/09/2023 - 15:52
    +1

    So just to confirm, if you're trying to do this deal from 0 phones (or that $1 earbuds trade in method), the only catch is if you don't manage to get your Flip5 by the time the bonus promo ends in about 2.5 weeks? Looking at the other thread it seems like people are getting their orders pretty quickly. I suppose the other risks are if they suddenly end the promo early due to out of stock etc or adjust the trade-in value of the phones out of the blue. ETA: if your final goal is to get the Fold5 I meant to write. ETA2 just realised that the discount promo ends earlier on next Sunday.

      Maybe IMEI already used?

    • Morphisis on 15/09/2023 - 17:48

      I had the same issue when I traded in for the flip5 at release. I just put a 0 at the front of the IEMI and left off the final digit, trade in worked without any issue.

  • hopper on 15/09/2023 - 17:25

  • dealsucker on 15/09/2023 - 17:30
    +1

    Also on the government store by the way. $1369 for a Fold 5 256GB is excellent value. Come to think of it, i got a S23 Ultra for $830 recently and if I buy the Fold 5 as well for $1369, that is a total of $2199 which is the base price of an iPhone 15 Pro Max!

    • Duece1995 on 15/09/2023 - 17:50

      Is that witha trade in?

      • congo on 15/09/2023 - 19:45

  • djthornton on 15/09/2023 - 20:04

    Has anyone actually tried this kind of "trade-flipping". E.g. trade existing phone for flip 5, instantly trade flip 5 for fold 5? Would be curious to know if anyone has successfully done this.

    • Sammyboy on 15/09/2023 - 21:08

      you would have to wait until you got the flip 5 in hand to use the imei for the trade. So there is a chance the deal could be removed in the mean time

  • Amr911 on 15/09/2023 - 20:06

    Wow fold 5 trade up value is $1700

    Awesome price for the Fold 5 512gb, $1508 (With a 'bud' trade in). Trade up value for the Fold 5 is $1835! Going for holidays in a few weeks time, so can claim 10% TRS which makes it an even sweeter deal.

      Looks like if the trade-in bonus exceeds the value after taking into account of the device value, Samsung will simply not apply the bonus

      So in your case it is because the final price of 369 is less than the trade-in bonus of 450, they just don't apply it!

          Only one item can be used with trade-in, so adding more items doesn't help with this problem.

          Did you got the shipping information?

          I ordered today when I posted the deal (256GB blue version), the status right now is awaiting dispatch with a ETA of 19.09.23, but that's probably not accurate knowing Samsung

      Fold 4 is amazing , its totaly different phone. So fold 5 will be more amazing. However , the front screen is way to narrow for effective use at all. Fold 4/5 will be very useful unfold for lots of new things : driving with big screen loaded with 2 maps side by side , any types of works on the go, stock and forex trading with split screen. Etc

  • daniesaurs on 17/09/2023 - 22:18

    Used to have the Fold 3. Am using the S23, I'm tempted now to go on this deal but not sure if the extra $600-$800 is worth it for me (My EPP only has $300 trade in bonus)

    The slightly bigger front screen and more importantly the slimmer design and better battery life from SD8G2 does seems appealing.

    I have a 2in1 laptop that I take with me everywhere now for Lightroom, Photoshop, Excel, etc productivity. For entertainment TikTok, Instagram, even Genshin impact and lots of other apps were not really better on the Fold due to the aspect ratio…not sure if any of that is fixed now. That's the main thing, then I'd consider spending an extra $600 for it
