The Samsung Galaxy Fold3 5G is available at lower prices on the Samsung Education Store (valid .edu email required) if you trade-in a mobile phone and receive the $300 bonus.

  • 256GB $1699.20
  • 512GB $1819.20

Note that if you don't return the trade-in, you must pay the full trade-in value in lieu. You should be able to retain the trade-in bonus based on other similar deals (e.g. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/649004). Note that they may still charge a “non return” admin fee; it appears to be around $60 as per the other threads.
This might be a better outcome if your valuation is too low.

This is stackable with the $50 newsletter voucher.

    Didn't they remove all the extras they were giving before?? (pre-order bonus)

    • dannyboi on 10/09/2021 - 11:10

      Correct.

      It's potentially a bit more flexible now as you're essentially getting $300 in value in lieu of say some earphones that you didn't need.

        I purchased through the EPP site and, according to every review I've read, the 'Galaxy Buds Live' bonus item aren't worth the time and frustration to open.

        They are being flogged-off on eBay for under $80 a paid which is better than nothing, I guess.

        • 10101010101 on 10/09/2021 - 12:20

          I got the SPen case and charger bundle. The SPen case is shithouse as the cover flaps around and doesn't stay shut. Also makes it awkward to take photos with the selfie mode showing the external screen. The charger is pretty good though.

          • [Deactivated] on 10/09/2021 - 12:43

            @10101010101: I purchased a Flip 3 and, in hindsight, wish I'd gone for the charger and case bundle.

      TV is only available for Telstra Customer. And this post is for Samsung Education Store.

  • highon2str on 10/09/2021 - 11:19

    does anyone else think it's a good idea to hold out for the S22 in hopes that we will see microSD support?

    • eug on 10/09/2021 - 11:25

      I don't think microSD support is coming back. The S series are mass-market phones and I'm quite sure the vast majority of buyers are non-techy and don't care about microSD support.

      • highon2str on 10/09/2021 - 11:27

        nooooooooooooooo!! But what will we do with all our decade-old collection of photos and videos!! (semi-serious qn 😂)

          Get the 512gb version and use the Samsung transfer app?
          Also cloud backup is the way to go - OneDrive is cheap enough

          • [Deactivated] on 10/09/2021 - 12:53

            @10101010101: Maybe they don't want to use the cloud for security reasons

  • p1 ama on 10/09/2021 - 11:21

    Note that if you don't return the trade-in, you must pay the full trade-in value in lieu.

    Does that mean you get to "keep" the trade-in bonus and only repay the actual value of your trade-in?

    • dannyboi on 10/09/2021 - 11:23

      Based on what I have seen in other similar deals, yes.

  • 8200 on 10/09/2021 - 11:25

    Proper dual SIM?

  • ExtraSalt on 10/09/2021 - 11:46

    i want to downgrade from my S21 Ultra to this so bad…..the trade in is such a low amount these days…i got more trading in my S10+ to this S21 Ultra a few months back

    • 10101010101 on 10/09/2021 - 12:23

      I have moved from the S21 Ultra to the Fold 3. No regrets yet but getting RSI/wrist pains from the extra weight. I had the exact same issue moving from the Note 20 Ultra to the S21 Ultra. Samsung is going to kill my wrists (or make them stronger)

      • ExtraSalt on 10/09/2021 - 12:26

        haha yeah i thought that would be my only issue as well…in saying that, the S21 Ultra is such a heavy phone lol. i shouldnt have gotten it, i doubt ive used any of the improved features over the standard range.

      • HappyBargainer on 10/09/2021 - 13:57

        How is fold 3 vs S21 ultra? I am using S21 ultra at the moment.Thanks

  • CyberMurning on 10/09/2021 - 12:09

    what phones are entitle for $300 ? i have old note 3, would that okay?

    • xyron on 10/09/2021 - 12:29

      I think the point is that so long as you offer a phone for trade in, you get $300 off PLUS the trade in value that samsung gives you for your phone. However, if you don't send the old phone back, samsung just charges you the trade in value (and you still get to keep the $300 bonus discount for offering a phone for trade-in in the first place).

      • CyberMurning on 10/09/2021 - 13:16

        Huh? So we offering but didnt send but still get 300 off?

        • xyron on 10/09/2021 - 13:29

          Correct

          • CyberMurning on 10/09/2021 - 15:41

            @xyron: oh i read it wrong (never done it before)… i see now.. so when we offer we get 300 off, plus some value for our phone. if we didnt send then we lost the some value discount but still getting the 300 off.
            so where is the list of eligible phone and the samsung's tradein value/price?

            • xyron on 10/09/2021 - 15:57
              +1

              @CyberMurning: That's right. I'm not sure what phones are eligible but it doesn't really matter - run the trade-up app on your current phone, get the code, punch it into the samsung education store page, get the discount, buy the phone, dont send the old one in, job done

  • xyron on 10/09/2021 - 12:28

    Bloody hell, I just ordered a couple of days ago with the free galaxy buds pro (although i will use the buds pro). That being said, with my order I got free Care+ with the BONUSCARE promo code which no longer works. I think i would have preferred to get $300 off, though. Not badly enough to bother faffing around with returning my order (which I haven't received yet but has been dispatched).

    I know it's a lot of money for a phone, but $1699 seems like a steal to me.

  • whiskeytango on 10/09/2021 - 12:32

    i got the 512bg fold3 from epp edu preorder for $2019.20(tradeinbonus)with care+Wireless Charger Trio+Flip Cover with Pen(199+100+95). so it kinda worked to be $1625

    so which is more worthy of a deal ?😂

    • Mouse123 on 10/09/2021 - 12:36
      +1

      I won't value those extras at face value

      • whiskeytango on 10/09/2021 - 12:41

        true. but coming from a note user i need the pen, so 80 bux for S Care and free charger works out for me. but yeah $1699 i would buy in a heartbeat with my craked note10+

    • Feeblely on 10/09/2021 - 12:41

      Ask yourself if you would buy all those extras at $400 without the phone. That should be your answer.

  • Chelseadmfc on 10/09/2021 - 12:41

    I'm getting an error with the trade-in function on the website when I try to enter my Trade-Up ID. Anyone else having the same issue?

    • sumitp on 10/09/2021 - 12:50

      You need to select online option before proceeding to generate trade in code (not go to store)

    • ozzyoi on 10/09/2021 - 13:32

      which phone are u trading?

  • ozzyoi on 10/09/2021 - 13:17

    is it worth getting this and swapping s21 ultra?

  • highon2str on 10/09/2021 - 14:18

    I just realised this is for the larger "Fold"…

    Is the current price of the Flip3 @ $1,279.20 also a good buy using this trade-in bonus?

    • dannyboi on 10/09/2021 - 14:33

      Trade-in bonus for that is $200.

      It's not bad at $1079.20 compared to how much people are paying outside.
      However, you would've lost the pre-order bonus and also free Samsung Care that was available during the pre-order period.

      • highon2str on 10/09/2021 - 14:45

        ah, thanks for that. Where do you see the $200 bonus? I'm logged into the edu store but I don't see any mention of it?

        I found the terms on https://www.samsung.com/au/tradeup/ saying the z flip 3 is $300 bonus. But during check out, it was only $200…

  • hopper on 11/09/2021 - 09:42

    $1699.20

    thats tempting, I'm sure it will touch 1299 by Christmas

    • eug on 11/09/2021 - 09:45

      What makes you so sure?

      • hopper on 11/09/2021 - 09:50

        Samsung wants to capture the fold market before Google and apple jumps in. They even killed Note just to divert customers to Fold. if RRP is 2499 I can expect 50% from Samsung by Christmas. they badly want you to have it. In US they are offering Free try and pay later for 21 days OR you can tradein upto 4 devices (they also include tablets and watches)

        • CyberMurning on 11/09/2021 - 10:03

          Good research skill. Like you man….

        • eug on 11/09/2021 - 10:57

          Samsung wants to capture the fold market before Google and apple jumps in.

          I think they have 100% of the foldable market right now. Or maybe 99.9% if you count the Motorola Razr. ;)

          They even killed Note just to divert customers to Fold.

          Are they really aiming at the same market? The cheapest Note is $1,000 less than the cheapest Fold3.
          I would think it's the S21 Ultra that's taking over the Note's role since it supports an S Pen too.

          if RRP is 2499 I can expect 50% from Samsung by Christmas.

          Has there been a Samsung flagship phone that halved in price within 3 months of launch?

          • hopper on 12/09/2021 - 14:03

            @eug:

            I think they have 100% of the foldable market right now. Or maybe 99.9% if you count the Motorola Razr. ;)

            may be in Australia, but in China many foldable are available like from Xiaomi & huawei.

            Are they really aiming at the same market?

            thats the first step, as per leaks they will promote Z series more than S series moving forward.

            Has there been a Samsung flagship phone that halved in price within 3 months of launch?

            its already 33% off on EPP now ($2499 to $1699), I can easily guess it will be upto 50% within months.
