Proof: RRP is $2999

Whether its worth it or not is up to you. I'm just posting the deal which represents a 22% saving off RRP ($649.80) on day 1.

You needs to subscribe to the newsletter to get the $50 off voucher.

No pre-order bonus but I'll take the instant saving over "free" buds.

Access to the education portal via an edu.au email address.

With the massive depreciation in Samsung devices, I'm finding a lot of value in a second hand Fold 1 at ~$1200-1500 mark. This puts it in the ballpark of other normal phone flagships and represents a 50-60% saving from launch. I have found it to be an amazing device which has replaced my smartphone and iPad Mini.

The new fold is undoubtedly better in almost every aspect but in my opinion doesn't fundamentally change how you use the device nor take away from its predecessors strengths (massive screen, foldable pocket device, great battery life). The software updates will also filter down to the OG fold.

This will be the cheapest price for a while I suspect. Last year the Fold 1 never made it to the EPP. Good luck for those buying :)

        • Andstar on 09/09/2020 - 10:32

          Have you figured out how to get insurance? I'm not too keen on making the leap without it tbh.

          Do you mean Samsung Care+? Can buy direct from here by the looks, and the banner at the top says 50% off Care+ cost with eligible Fold 2.

          • nadan on 09/09/2020 - 16:28

            @Forphucsake: What is the benefit of care+? Doesn't the warranty cover Device swap if that is all care+ offers?

    I have bought one. Since it has sd865+ and local warranty for 2399 you get a phone plus tablet.

    • pzhon on 09/09/2020 - 02:45

      Anyone know it’s single sim or dual? It doesn’t really matter but it would be a bonus if it’s dual

      • plasmapuff on 09/09/2020 - 02:46

        Single physical plus an Esim. Same everywhere worldwide.

      For $2399 you can get both a very capable phone and a very capable tablet as is though lmao

        But then you have to carry 2 device. I can understand why some people would want the folding phone, I for one would like one too when the folding display tech is more mature, that's the price they pay for being early adopters I guess.

        • pennypincher98 on 09/09/2020 - 08:29

          Considering how well the first one went I don't mind having to carry two devices.
          I've got a 2-in-1 PC/tablet plus my phone.

          This isn't going to replace my laptop any time soon.

            +3

            @pennypincher98: This isn't meant as laptop replacement, it's a phone with huge display.

            • pennypincher98 on 09/09/2020 - 09:27

              @[Deactivated]: For me personally I don't see the point in having two half-tablets lol but I guess the market must be there otherwise they wouldn't make it.

          • itsfree on 09/09/2020 - 10:52

            @pennypincher98:

            Considering how well the first one went I don't mind having to carry two devices.

            The first one was actually fantastic after they resolved the initial issue. I can't ever return to the candybar form factor after using the Fold.

            I don't see the point in having two half-tablets

            It's not too dissimilar from buying the iPad mini vs iPad Pro. It's all about the form factor.

        • dealsucker on 09/09/2020 - 14:01

          Its a compromised phone and a compromised tablet especially that aspect ratio besides being fragile.

          • itsfree on 09/09/2020 - 14:40

            @dealsucker: It really isn't. It may seem like it from photos, but, in practice, the aspect ratio is just as useful as a standard tablet. I preferred using the cover display, as it was easier to hold and use one-handed—a usability advantage I thought we had long lost.

            Regarding fragility, I used it like my previous devices, and it was fine.

            Obviously, if you tend to abuse your devices, then yes it's not a wise purchase (at least without a strong case)

            • dealsucker on 10/09/2020 - 08:16
              -2

              @itsfree: I tend to keep my devices for 3-4 years now and so I am still not convinced of the long term reliability besides its too thick to be carrying the pocket. Samsung's software support is pretty terrible too both time to update and the number of updates. I'd rather have a phone and a tablet.

        While we're comparing apples and oranges….here's a banana - for $2399 you can also buy quite a competent roadworthy motor vehicle (looking at CarSales.com.au)

        • jkim on 09/09/2020 - 11:13

          Tell us when we're able to browse OzBargain without straining our eyes on said roadworthy motor vehicle.

          • [Deactivated] on 09/09/2020 - 13:26

            @jkim: Print pages from OzBargain onto A3 or A4 sheets. Stick on dashboard. BOOM!

            Alternatively, buy a $2000 car and a $400 phablet. BALLER!

    2. Get free 4 months of YouTube Premium
    3. Galazy Z Premier Service ($399 add on in Au as Samsung Care+)

    Minus points for Fold 2 :

    • No expandable memory card - with 256Gb - to small for a top smart phone
    • No S - Pen
    • No water proof
    • Prone to ruin your top phone if accidentally drop

    Rather go for Note20 Ultra , in my opinion .

    Hope for Fold 3 will come with expandable memory and S Pen

    • RCB on 09/09/2020 - 22:56
