      • Hello. Could you Tell me please. if I log into the app through an EDU account, then I will have an additional 20% discount, but if through regular email, I will not receive this discount?

  • +4

    The stress of jumping the gun too quick or not jumping quick enough!

    • +9

      This is standard discount for the next 3 days, won't run out. I will wait until later today to see if any loopholes are discovered

      • I already see the Telcos starting to offer some other deals will hold off for a few hours at least but I'm itching !

        • +3

          S-A-M-E!!

          From my last 2 years of experience, mid day today will.bw the best time lol

  • So how do I use the galaxy Ai code? Seems like it pushes me into a lesser bonus

    Edit: figured it out, in the cart. Duh.

    • +3

      Would only apply if you have more than 200$ accessories in cart

  • +1

    How do you use EEP with app??

    • You can't. Only edu store is available on app

  • +2

    GALAXYAI is not working on education store

    • +1

      Just test again and it works on education store on the app. You'll probably need to add accessories first, then apply GALAXYAI later

    • +2

      You need $200 of accessories to be added.

    • Trying to use education store via the shop app and via desktop.

      Can't seem to get it to work with the accessories . Keeps missing some or if it does get them listed then the GALAXYAI code won't work even when over $350 .

      Do you select the trade in during the 1st page when it prompts for yes or no, or say no, then add a trade in at the very end ?

      Whats the tricks? I'm so over this

    • Same here. Tried a few browsers and desktop mode and still breaks.

      Got the trade in working from the cart on Gov portal. Does stack with the unique $200 trade in code too

    • same hit no, add to cart and out the checkout you can choose it then

  • +1

    Site was glitchy this morning but eventually worked., all codes stacked on the edu site including the trade in bonus code some people got for and extra $200 trade in credit on-top of the existing offers.

    • +1

      Still glitchy for me, refuses to let me see the S24 information, aggressively reloads :/

      • Don't click the banner. Scroll down to see if you can click any other links.

  • Good thing is, 256 comes with 12GB ram, there's no need to shell extra for 512

    • +3

      Is 256 enough though? Without the MicroSD slot it gives me pause

      • +26

        I dont download porn so been working okay

        • +4

          The cameras on modern phones are pretty high end, I suspect recording video and pics will chew more space?

          • +5

            @hamwhisperer: Photos are sitting at about 5 mb per photo on my s23 Ultra.

            For someone who upgrades a phone each year, I would rather pay $25 a year for Google One and store the excess there than $200 for memory upgrade.

            • @abs898: I mean regardless, double space is "free"with this phone at the moment. So that's good

              • +1

                @hamwhisperer: Not really, you can get the 256Gb for much cheaper on EDU/EPP store.
                Double offer is mainly for gen store

            • +1

              @abs898: So do you always get the model with the minimum storage to save money?

        • -1

          ki-mo-chi…?

      • I have a 1TB S22 Ultra. after a few years I'm sitting at 50% used.

        If I go for this I think I'll scale down to the 512gb as the SYSTEM is chewing up 217GB

        • +3

          That's weird because I have 23 Ultra 512 with 70% empty and system is only taking 17GB
          Have a lot of apps, 16k photos, sure not all are high res but a few thousand taken on this phone.

          • @abs898: I think newer versions of Android are more locked down so you can't view the root folders on device so it gets lumped into system or other files.

      • +2

        They would sell a lot more if they had a micro sd card which support cards up to 1TB

        • Thanks for this comment, I didn't realise that these new models don't come with an SD card slot any more!!! My Galaxy Note 10+ just had the back cover peel off after 4 years so it's no longer waterproof and is now useless for my work. These phones just don't last, no point paying thousands for something that only lasts 2-4 years.

  • +24

    Looks like the exynos CPU is back

    • +4

      Bugger
      Edit… but ultra is fine. Snapdragon?

    • +3

      No thanks

    • +5

      yeah don't do it

      • Is there any way to confirm that with certainty?

      • +7

        Official website said otherwise, it seems that S24 and S24+ comes with Deca-Core CPU and S24 U comes with Octa-Core CPU (SD 8 Gen 3).

        • how scared must you be not not even advertise your CPU for fear your customers will not want to buy it?

          those power users that need to know should be provided that information, to hide it is disingenuous.

      • +14

        S24/+ per Samsung's Aus website early states "decacore" which is Exynos this year. No deal.

      • +4

        Seems like AU stock will receive Exynos

        Samsung's website pretty much confirmed it if you compares the specs table between the AU and US stores.

        US:Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy

        • +1

          That's just the + and normal tho right, not Ultra?

      • +2

        Only the ultra is getting snapdragon. 24 and plus is getting crappy exynos. You can check VodafoneAU review.

        • +1

          crappy exynos

          Yet to be determined, and there doesn't seem to be much wrong with Samsung's silicon process this go around vs TSMC's N4P and early N3.

          • @jasswolf: Then Samsung should've put their Exynos in the S24U

            • +3

              @Fobsessive: It doesn't support Wifi 7, has a slightly slower modem, and it's slightly less performant (about 5%). It's possible the GPU or VPU is also less efficient in specific workloads. The kernel and driver development team would also be much smaller given the market share Qualcomm has.

              Everything else coming through in terms data and numbers suggests it's the tiniest bit behind Qualcomm this year, but opting for it is what has facilitated the screen upgrade for the S24 and S24+.

              Here's my comment with some of the data.

              • @jasswolf: Thanks for your comment and link, great info so far. I have one Q: I read that the Exynos 2200 and SD8G1 sucked because of Samsung's foundry/node being poor. Do you know if this is still something to be hesitant about for Exynos 2400?

                • @Fobsessive: The performance data there matches up with the claims made by Samsung that I've cited in my post, namely that they're fairly close to parity with TSMC's N4P, which is what the SD8G3 is using.

                  The clocks are slightly behind for largely identical parts of the architecture - most notably the RAM - and they seem to have accounted for the density deficit by giving less compute units to the GPU than what Qualcomm did, which pretty much only impacts gamers. I suspect Samsung will close the GPU gap a tad though, as it seems to do well in the more synthetic/isolated benchmarks.

                  Ok there's some fresh data overnight: with early firmware (ie. it will update before launch), you're looking at about 9% less battery life all else being equal. I expect this gap to be closed to virtually nothing as Samsung refine the Exynos implementation, but the minor performance gaps will largely hold.

            • @Fobsessive: Using SD is very much a marketing strategy as well, to further segment the s24 galaxy line. Evidently, it works quite well given some comments here

    • +11

      Ok sweet, thank you for the info. Saved me a grand.

      See you next year folks.

    • +3

      Waiting to see non-paid review for
      Exynos chip before I make my decisions to upgrade from trusty S20FE.

      • +4

        imo, all reviewers are paid. Whether directly or indirectly…

        Youtube / vendor / affiliate links etc

        It's a matter of finding one you think is the least biased.. any suggestions?

        • I find the major mainstream does ok job, Mrwhostheboss, MKB, etc. Sometimes its the little guys, Techspurt has less bias.

          • +1

            @ruthlesskid: bro mrwhostheboss is the biggest shill nowadays. he ONLY does paid sponsorships. At least he is pretty transparent about it though.

            • @Sporange: I found his reviews to be very good though.

      • Just wait for next year. Rumors said that s25 is getting massive changes.

        • isn't that every generation though?

          to me it's more about:

          1. Can your phone do everything you want to do?
          2. Are you tired of your phone?
          3. Is the new phone something you would be ok with buying?
          4. Are there any good deal/promos going on?
      • I just upgraded to the s24Ultra 256gb from the s20FE haha

        I didn't feel the need to upgrade before, but the new s24 lineup was too tempting.

        • trading in my old s7 for $450 additional discount was great hahahaha.
    • +1

      Yeah I was tossing up between S24+ and Oneplus 12, and I think that will do it for me.

      • Is the one plus curved?

        • The few previews I can find of the Chinese model would suggest it has curved edges, yes, but the "Global" model is unveiled next week on the 24th, so that might be slightly different, I'm not sure.

          Either way, it has a SD Gen 3, bigger battery, faster charging, brighter screen, larger screen, and the device should be cheaper than a S24+, but you will have to import it from outside Australia because Oneplus still refuses to sell their devices directly into Australia.

          • +1

            @Morkai: I just saw it's curved, also having to import is a no go. So I guess I go without another year. I might make 6.5 years on my current phone, incredible.

            If S24+ had Ultra cameras, snapdragon processor and IR I'd pay $2000 for it.

            I miss the old days when phones were actually good.

            • @hamwhisperer:

              If S24+ had Ultra cameras, snapdragon processor and IR I'd pay $2000 for it.

              You've just described the S24 Ultra, sans IR.

              • @jasswolf: Except it's HUGE. With nasty sharp corners, making it feel larger than it already is.

                • @hamwhisperer: You want it to be rounded, but not curved, but flat? Pick two.

                  You're also happy for it to be 158.5 x 75.9 x 7.7 mm, but 162.3 x 79 x 8.6 mm is just too much? There is no increase in dimensions that is over 0.4 cms.

                  I think you've been staring at numbers and information so long that you're not absorbing what they're trying to convey: the size difference and the screen-to-body ratio regression of the Ultra is entirely explained by the camera array and the S-pen… and the lack of rounded corners reflects that they wanted to keep the size down and viewing experience uncropped.

                  All of that being said, the S24+ is way better value anyway: the cameras are more than good enough, just have to not go overboard with some aspects of post-processing.

                  • @jasswolf:

                    You want it to be rounded, but not curved, but flat? Pick two.

                    Flat display, curved corners, curved rear.
                    See: Pixel 8 Pro, very good physical design, crap processor, modem, other stuff (sadly)

                    All of that being said, the S24+

                    Exynos, send directly to bin, do not pass go.

          • @Morkai: Damn that's sounding pretty good I might have to look at a Oneplus phone again

    • +1

      It's an inferior CPU, is it?

      • -1

        Very much so

        • +2

          You have zero data on this. In truth, the 4LPP+ process in use has some data, and there's even some benchmarks out there. And you can compare them!

          It's genuinely a very close 2nd to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and we should see benchmarks that confirm this. Assuming it's not been horribly architected in a way that doesn't reveal itself on benchmarks, the only concern comes in terms of optimising execution of that (firmware, software), but Samsung have already committed to 7 years of updates.

          You need to stop fretting so much about a phone and either research things properly, or wait for full technical data to come through.

          • -2

            @jasswolf: I've been using Samsung phones for 12 years. Exynos is rubbish, period.

            • +2

              @hamwhisperer: Exynos wasn't rubbish 8 years ago. The key elements are the underlying silicon process, and the way ARM were doing their GPUs. They've fixed the latter - though Samsung have partnered with AMD anyway - and the silicon is within touching distance at the moment.

              Next year it will potentially be fairly even as well silicon wise, maybe even a brief Samsung lead. Qualcomm have Nuvia's IP finally hitting phones then, but ARM are making a big jump too, so it's an open race with Apple at that point.

              If you're not understanding the terms in use here, click the links and look… I know people say this most years, but it's actually a year where Samsung has returned to competency.

  • +2

    Seems like Westpac customer no longer has access to EPP pricing…

    • Yep, been missing all year

      • only recently though as I last (pre Christmas) bought a soundbar from the Westpac EPP…

        been refreshing the westpac samsung EPP today but to no avail….

        and no edu account so it looks like no dice this year!

    • Back now!

  • EEP website is not even working

    • +1

      It's working fine for me through my employer.

  • -5

    can anyone confirm whether the S24 Ultra comes with MicroSD slot?

    • +5

      No, no SD slot. I don't think they've had it for a few generations now

    • +7

      Seems like you have been asleep for a few years

    • +1

      No, hasn't been for a long long while.

      The storage on modern phones internally nowadays is far superior to your average SDcard performance by a long shot.

      • Yeah but that doesnt matter when its all media that fills it up.

    • If you want sd slots you have to get the A54 which sacrifices wireless charging but a very good device otherwise

  • +3

    does $100 loyalty from chat and 10% off loyalty from email work wiith EDU?

    • Did they give you any for s24, usually they offer loyalty for older models?

    • My 10% loyalty code doesnt seem to work

  • When i click trade in option via browser, it reverts to homepage. Tried 2 browsers. S24 ultra order page via gov store

    • Hit no then add it from cart works for me

    • need to select No then add the rest to cart at checkout you can select trade and add the device

    • How can i access the gov store, I am NSW gov employee. Can you share the specific portal name which i should google to login

      • Google Samsung Government Store or EPP.

        Input your .gov email.

        They will send you a link to the portal for sign up.

        You will need to sign in to your Samsung account too.
