  Looks like that's the 3G one, 4G is $20 more.

  All phones and tablets sold by Kogan are network unlocked

  Carrier unlocked perhaps.

  What about region locking on the overseas models of new SAMSUNG phones?

    What about region locking on the overseas models of new SAMSUNG phones?

    Isn't it just the Note 3?

      Well this thread is about the Note 3 models, so I did not think that I had to specify which models.

      However, there has been talk about all recent models being region locked.

  Not another price error? :)

  16GB LTE Black/White - $849

  That is $873 delivered to Sydney.

  Harvey Norman has it priced at $888 (same model?) with a local warranty that would be for up to 2 (or even 3?) years.

  Not a bargain if the above is correct.

  EDIT
  Confirmed as the 9005 LTE Model
  AND with 32GB (double the GB of this 16GB one)

    Wait a month it will be down to $600

    What will be?

    The AU market model?

    Or the phones from Hong Kong, and various European markets, that Kogan HK sell into Australia?

  As I said before, grey imports should be at least 10% less than local stock since no gst. Even then local stock could work out cheaper and offer better value.

    grey imports should be at least 10% less than local stock since no gst. Even then local stock could work out cheaper and offer better value.

    Must be even more than a 10% difference because of the loss of local warranty, and out of warranty support.

    I would say that it depends on the price (range) of the phone, but that 20% would be a better starting point on a $500+ phone.

    On a phone costing $800 to $1000 (and/or having a replacement value of this range) - like Note 3 and iP5S (32GB-64GB) - I would not take the risk for less than a 30% saving.

      I completely agree it has to be significantly more saving than 10% to be considered a bargain.

  The Harvey Norman model comes with 32gb, So for $15 you get not only aust warranty, an aust delivered phone, but also an extra 16gb storage.

    Actually 2 to 3 times the warranty period, for the AU model.

    I know that the HN site states:
    "Manufacturers Express Warranty (months) 12"

    But, SAMSUNG says two years, and Fair Trading suggests one might be able to stretch it to 3?
