    $1896 total cost for $79 @ 24 months.
    The previous preorder price was $879 with a $50 voucher for accesories.

    So for this deal, you're effectively paying $1017 for 24 months of JB Hi-fi/ Telstra service, which is $42 a month. Might be some value depending on the early termination fee, otherwise pretty average.

        The deal states the Ts & Cs which replaces the maximum voucher repayment fee in the CIS with whatever the voucher amount is for the deal right?

        So do you have to cancel with Telstra and hope they don't realise you're on a JB Hifi plan OR cancel with JB Hifi and hope they don't enforce the true voucher repayment terms?

        I feel like I'm missing something.

        • codename47 on 14/10/2024 - 11:59

      People reckon its a sliver worse than the standard 24/24+ chip, same as an amd 7500/7600 if you know that comparison better.

      Exynos.

      So some would debate that if you can get one at roughly the same price range, you're better off with the S23 line (non-FE) with the Snapdragon processor.

      • heef on 11/10/2024 - 00:59

        This, unless you keep your phone normally for more than 3 years (4 yrs software support vs 7 on the S24 FE).

        Ofc, not everyone cares about having the latest Android.

          I don't think you can, this used to be a loophole a couple years ago to change phone into something like iPhone or any other items that's never on sale. But JB has fixed it, the phone IMEI you got is marked as JB telco deal which you can't exchange or refund. Happy to be proven wrong but I've tried this before on multiple stores a couple years ago, I don't think they want to reopen the loophole on purpose.

          • Fuzzy69 on 10/10/2024 - 22:24

            @yummypinacolada: then how are people returning it for a GC?

                  @easternculture: Cool, do you mind sharing which stores you have successfully refund your phone? I did try all stores(5 in total) in Sydney CBD a couple years back, all got rejected because it has been marked as Telco deal.

                  • easternculture on 11/10/2024 - 12:53

                    @yummypinacolada: Depends what you tell them. They cant deny you a refund under consumer law. You are entitled to a refund as per their change of mind policy

                    • yummypinacolada on 11/10/2024 - 13:19

                      @easternculture: Yes, they can deny you a refund, because you don't actually buy the phone. You sign a 2 year contract which they gave you S24FE as a bonus. Anyway,doesn't matter if you don't want to disclose which store as I've done it before without success, we will see if other people willing to try it your way and if indeed is possible.

                      • easternculture on 11/10/2024 - 14:19

                        @yummypinacolada: If its paid by giftcard, they cannot deny it.
                        They can only deny it if they hand you over the phone as part of the contract, and even then , you can make a sensible argument via TIO and have the phone swapped or credit applied in certain circumstances.

Same number just a cheaper plan. Complained and admitted fault so they provided a credit. All this had to he done in store.

      Just turn up in jbhifi and say you want Telstra plan with S24 FE.

      They need Port In (number with another provider) but they happily have me a new number :)

      You'd go through credit check and if approved walk away with S24 FE but need to do the first month payment of $79.

      What happens afterwards depends on how you use your phone and 2 year data. Monthly payment for $79 is required for 24 months.

        But no gst has been paid yet, apart from on the $79 monthly contract fee. So gst component of the phone is $0, therefore $0 refund. Or are you saying the invoice will say someone paid jb hifi $1087 but not the customer.

        If the amount is $1k plus, it needs to have the name of the traveller on the invoice

        I think the better question is: how long can you stretch the life of a phone. The longer, the better value (obviously).

        I got a 2nd hand S10 a few years ago. This phone is 5 years old overall, released early 2019.

        It is still working fine, I have no complaints about this (performance nor RAM usage - there's no lag anyway) and the battery can last a day with normal usage. Camera is still competitive with Pixels, believe it or not (if anything, you would be complaining about night shots especially compared with Pixels, but the reality is that night shots are comparable with my friend's new Pixel, even he was surprised (as was I)) - but it doesn't have the modern bells and whistles (e.g. AI). Has Samsung Dex (to turn the phone into a desktop when connected to a monitor), Samsung Health to automatically track my steps and sleep cycle, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Does feel like the 'perfect' phone, and it hasn't been updated in yonks.

        Previously I was using a S3, then S5 (work). From my experience, I have to say the S series can last a long time. I have no intention of replacing this right now, even though I am tempted with the cheap new Motorola phones we see here on Ozbargain.

        • ChickenAdobo on 11/10/2024 - 09:47

          You should be changing that phone due to cybersecurity risk.

        • Borg on 11/10/2024 - 12:30

          The S10 a great phone and camera is much better than my S23….in one important way!
          The issue I have with the S23 and suspect the S24 is the same is that if one takes a pic of a A4 sheet, the writing on the top and bottom is blurred so is useless for taking notes. I take pics of e.g. a motherboard whereby one needs to see the small details of everything, the S23 is useless and out comes my S10 which takes amazing pics.
          Very annoying. Samsung suggested solution is to move further back BUT then that's too far to capture small print!

          Other than that the S23/S24 series is a much better phone and silky smooth. With the latest Android and Samsung features is a decent step-up. Beyond that the S10 is great and still used daily on old OS and without updates.

          • smartProverble on 11/10/2024 - 15:51

            @Borg: Maybe your S23 camera is kinda fked.

            I had an Asus phone back in the day and it had that problem. One of the corners was always blurry.

            • Borg on 11/10/2024 - 15:59

              @smartProverble: No, its the same with all. I went to a store and tested display ones and same issue. Try one yourself when next around one. Take a Pic of a brochure and you will see that the centre writing is clear but top and bottom will be blurred. Silly indeed and they say this is normal and due to the type of lens in them being "Wide capable"! Stupid design especially as they don;t have a software fix to compensate for this!

      $79 plan with $0 Upfront cost of S24 Fe , you do not get $550 Voucher.
      The rep said that we process your order as 1099 for your phone and you own that outright and then you pay per month for the plan for 24 months.
      If you cancel the plan, you will have to repay the $1099 for the phone and Plan cancellation costs.

        Can I cancel my plan?
        Yes, you can cancel your plan at any time by calling us on 13 50 75 or visiting a JB Hi-Fi store. When you cancel, your service will be disconnected immediately. We won’t refund any money you’ve already paid and you’ll need to pay out any remaining Voucher Repayment Fee.

        Maximum Voucher Repayment Fee
        $550

        Not sure where any terms state that the phone must be paid out in full?

          It says it there i.e. Max Repayment = $550.
          Update: Sorry, you were answering above query and wasn't a question. Yeah, I agree, it is just $550 as per plan agreement. The rep is wrong.

            @Borg: correct.

            @Borg: I don't understand this, per the Ts and Cs (in the deal post also) it says the voucher value is replaced by whatever voucher JB gives you. So why isnt the max voucher repayment replaced also?

              @jonomatic: I suspect it's a systems issue, they cannot change the ETC attached to the plan. So the wording only replaces the value provided and not the ETC.

          What he showed me on JB screens he logged into that these are three options and when you take the phone with $0 there is no $550 voucher. The voucher of $550 is only if you buy the plan only. You may want to try your luck and let us know if that works.

            @codename47: Just got off the phone with my local JB who confirmed that early exits are as calculated by the OP. Tried to tell me that I would not have a good standing record with Telstra if I do cancel.
