SSFIVE

This appears to be the one of the lowest prices for the S23 Ultra. Even cheaper than EDU pricing and most likely Samsung EPP. I messed up somewhere on the pricing but this is the best price available. It should be around $950-$1000 price range. I'm sorry for the mess up somewhere in the price. Note tha

The process goes like this.

RRP Price: $1949
35% off code SSFIVE to $1266.85
5% off on First Order Samsung Shop ($63ish) -> $1203.51
$250 Bonus Trade in
$100 Loyalty Code as well

This turns the price into $865.26. Note the discount code and $250 trade in bonus only applies to the standard Samsung store, not EPP or the Education Store.

    8GB

    for that price and being a flagship, its shame on samsung for keeping it low. might be a cheap trick to make users upgrade to bigger storage which has 12gb

  • Parr8 on 13/05/2024 - 16:55

    Samsung EDU is not accepting the promo code

    • RichardL on 13/05/2024 - 16:57

      SSFIVE is only valid for products listed on their 'Secret Sale' Page from their Public site.

      Sorry it is meant to be the standard official Samsung store, not the EDU. My fault. The "SSFIVE" discount code is already applied to the EDU pricing already in the form of an already added discount https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/845132. The deal here mostly lies in the $250 trade in code vs the $100 the EDU store is offering. I shall change the description.

  • CVonC on 13/05/2024 - 17:03

    Hmm this or ~$400 extra for the S24U

    • NotReallyaMoneySaver on 13/05/2024 - 17:10
      +2

      Personally I'd opt for the S23U and purchase Samsung Care + thing for $280 or purchase the Galaxy Watch 6 40mm/44mm LTE. Only thing worth the extra $400ish is extended OS updates and security.

      • CVonC on 13/05/2024 - 17:21
        +6

        Hmm flat and new anti-reflective screen on the S24U vs curved on the S23U. 12gb vs 8g. Also 7 years of updates vs 4 (3 now) which seems a significant difference. And I guess 5x optical vs 10x and 4k@120fps which aren't that important.

        • NotReallyaMoneySaver on 13/05/2024 - 17:27

          That's a fair judgement. To be honest camera's have gotten so good that the S23U would be more than enough for me. 7 Years of updates is amazing. I hardly do anything intensive that would require the extra 4gb of ram. My current phone only has 6gb of ram and it is still chugging along albeit having some issues occasionally. I might have harshly judged the value of the S24U however the S23U is still decent.

          Honeslty the best deal in all of this is the S23 base model for like $600ish.

        • Assburg on 13/05/2024 - 18:10

          Having got the s23U on release, I wouldn't have hesitated to wait until s24U if I knew flat screen was coming. The curved edges are the worst.

          While I can't reallt speak to the reflectivenesss of the screen, if you're sensible you're probably going to throw a UV glue screen protector on it and…they are pretty reflective but totally worth it.

          • NotReallyaMoneySaver on 13/05/2024 - 18:12

            @Assburg: Is it really that bad? Is it a huge turn off?

            • Assburg on 13/05/2024 - 19:34

              @NotReallyaMoneySaver: I mean, I'm not a huge phone case guy but have a low profile one for the rare slips…curved edges then awkwardly meeting the start of a case is horrible.

              The irony is I probably only need the case because of how much more likely I think a curved screen would crack with even a light drop.

              Not a perfect comparison but I stress test dropped my flat screen galaxy S2 many, many years after it became redundant and it was like, a 1.8m drop onto concrete that finally cracked it. My note 20 ultra with curved screen, in a case cracked when it fell from my pocket getting out of a car… it's all speculative but…I resent curved phone screens.

        • dabbberboi on 13/05/2024 - 22:21

          I have a S24U. It is not anti-reflective.

  • prezmex on 13/05/2024 - 17:04

    Lame question, but how to get the 250 off with the trade in?

    • NotReallyaMoneySaver on 13/05/2024 - 17:09
      +3

      You will need a phone to trade in. They will give you a $250 discount for trading in a phone on top of a discount on the value of the phone. The lowest for the S series is the S8. The S8 is worth $5. Samsung will provide a $255 discount ($250 bonus + $5 for the phone) on your order. You will have to provide Samsung the phone though.

      There is also not returning in the phone, not getting the trade in value for the phone and getting charged a fee of $30/$60 but you still get to keep the $250 trade in bonus. Can someone please correct me if I am wrong.

      • prezmex on 13/05/2024 - 17:12

        legend! could utilise my old s9+ then

          All good mate! I hope you enjoy the S23U if you do intend to purchase it. About $430 cheaper than the S24U as well.

      • Shaun Prawn on 13/05/2024 - 17:29

        Has anyone ever got a trade in code that says "this trade ID can only be used in store"???

        Every time I try to use the trade up app it either doesn't work, get some error, or I get a code that can only be used in store… Trying to use tab S4 which last time wouldn't even get through the trade up process. Previously I had tried with an S22 ultra and also got a trade ID that can only be used in store. So annoying.

            +1

            @demod: If you go through the website, you won't get the 5% off on first order, so you will be getting a slightly higher cost.

    The lowest price for a 256gb S23U was under $600.

    • RichardL on 13/05/2024 - 17:22

      I don't remember seeing it that low (unless you're also factoring the value of bonus and/or trade-in device value).

                    @CVonC: All anyone had to do was buy the cheapest pair of wired earbuds and send them back which was a few $ at most.
                    If you didnt send anything back, it was a $30 charge but im not sure why anyone wouldnt send something back.

        No, around October last year. Look in rhe comments for the Fold5 with 2 buds or 2 sd card deals. It wasnt posted as a separate deal.
        I think the cheapest was about $588 total for 256GB S23U including 2 type C usb sticks.

      I got a 15% code but it doesn't work with trade in. Is the $100 loyalty voucher different?

    • oxblood8 on 13/05/2024 - 18:01

      I was told on the chat there were no "loyalty" vouchers, only extra discount available was the $100 (yes 100) trade in bonus.

        Try again with another representative. Took me 2 representatives to get a code. Also were you on the Samsung Education store or the standard one. The $100 trade in bonus only applies to the Samsung EDU store where its $250 bonus on the standard.

        • oxblood8 on 13/05/2024 - 18:08

          I was on the standard store.

            @NotReallyaMoneySaver: I didn't even actually get connected to an agent. Was still 2 people ahead of me when it ended.

            How long do you usually need to wait in the cue? I tried connecting again but it said 1 min 13 secs wait time again, but this time was loads more than 22 people in the cue. Didn't bother in the end.

    • Dandaman21 on 14/05/2024 - 13:47

      Just confirming I was told there's no loyalty code, and offered the $100 trade in code, and it stacks with the bonus $250 trade in so you end up with $350 bonus trade in value.

      • OZBsince2018 on 14/05/2024 - 14:11

        You can call it whatever as long as its giving you $100 off.

    Wife needs a new phone (has an S10 with a slightly-cracked screen, and the battery is knackered) but might wait to see what the 8A is like (and what deals are available) as it's also on the seven-year-update cycle.

    • NotReallyaMoneySaver on 13/05/2024 - 18:27
      +1

      If you want a deal, the P8A from JBHIFI for $550 + $200 gift card is the best deal. It is a $300 discount through a bonus trade in. If you value android software, 8A is good. If it's cameras or processor, the S23 is better. However the S23 series does not have the 7 year update cycle.

      • mickeyjuiceman on 13/05/2024 - 19:17

        Thanks for confirming what I was pretty much thinking as I am reading the 8A JB thread :-)

    Its 3yo now and the battery life is starting to get bad. Is this a good upgrade? Is the 4GB less ram on this S23U going to be noticeably worse?

    • krisspy on 13/05/2024 - 21:50

      Highly doubt it. I've never seen my s21U hit remotely close to 16gb even with my browser having 40 tabs

    • GachaGamer on 14/05/2024 - 08:58

      Not quite how it works. To my knowledge, the 21 Ultra uses 12gb's of LPDDR5 at 3200MHz, whilst the 23 Ultra uses 8gb's of LPDDR5X at 4266MHz. Whilst the former has more RAM, the latter's RAM is better (the 23 also has the added function of RAM+).

    • samfisher5986 on 14/05/2024 - 09:07

  • JumpinJack012 on 14/05/2024 - 15:31

    For those who aren't planning to trade in the phone or watch but you just want the $250 trade-in bonus, do we need to tell Aurizon later that you won't be sending any devices to them? Or do you simply not send anything them and then wait for them to charge you the $5 security charge and the $60 non-refund fee?

    I don’t use an android phone so my iOS App Store doesn’t have the 5% for first time purchase discount (no products list for mobile devices lol)
    I got $250 trade in plus $100 from online chat and used the discount code (showing on the store website as well)
    Trade in value $5 plus $60 no return penalty
    Total cost $911.85+5+60=976.85 for Galaxy S23 Ultra 256GB
    It would be nicer if I borrowed someone else’s phone for the App Store 5% discount but i didn’t want to bother this time. It’s within my budget for $1000 for a decent phone. I was think about the S23 FE version for $600 something but after reading a few reviews I decided to get this one instead. Thanks for the information!
    It’s much cheaper than the education store which will be $1200+ (I almost paid for that price).

  • sn00kered on 14/05/2024 - 17:03
