BONUSCARE

Samsung Australia will give a voucher for Samsung Care+ (for the new Galaxy devices released on that day) to anyone who registers for Galaxy Unpacked event by 10th August.

Samsung Care+ lets you swap your device up to 2 times in 2 years so it's basically cover for accidents.

Based on the pretty obvious promotional banner, it's definitely for the new Galaxy Z Flip4 and Fold4 devices.

T&Cs:

*Eligible recipients receive a voucher for bonus Samsung Care+ (SC+) when purchased in a single transaction from the Samsung online store and eligible Enhanced Partnership sites only, during the pre order period (beginning 11.08.2022 to 01.09.2022) with the smartphone series unveiled at the 2022 Samsung Australia Unpacked event (from 11.08.2022 12am AEST). Discount applies to one (1) x 2 year SC+ subscription, and does not apply to the swap fee. Subject to stock availability (including colour variants) at time of purchase. See samsung.com/au/care-plus/terms for further details. Offer code must be entered at checkout to redeem this offer.

            @hanofee: Batteries… they have to change a new battery because of consumer law if it’s under 80% within a year. I bought once a new battery for the iPhone 7 and since 3 years I got every year a new one…

            @Chrotzo: I use AccuBattery (Pro) app Health option, which also reminds me to keep it between 20-80% for longevity. I also use Setting\Device Care to optimise performance & More Battery settings to Protect the battery & limit charging to 85% (disable when you know recharging won't be available).
            With automation of apps I automatically enable/disable BT/GPS/etc when required/not :)

            Replacing the battery is also inconvenience to be without the phone while that's happening & "don't touch (inside) if working". It's OK to refresh the battery when giving it to another person after reset.

          Interesting point of view. I consider premature battery deterioration a purchase deterrent.

          A high-quality battery should endure without fault or significant degradation for at least 3-5 years with care and moderate use, IMO.

          testing ACL law to its limit (almost to the point of abusing it) is not a product feature of apple

          its a feature of australian consumer law, the same benefit applies to samsung batteries

    They'll be announcing foldable phones only, so if you're not in the market for a folding device you can probably skip signing up.

    Hopefully they'll be running Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processors and not the rather mediocre Exynos 2200.

      https://www.canstarblue.com.au/phone/what-is-samsung-care/

      It's a device swap program, within a 2 year period you can request for a like-for-like replacement of your mobile phone up to 2 times.

      You can think of it as an insurance policy and it might be worth taking up if you have butter-fingers and break phones often. Since it is "free" in this scenario you don't pay anything up front, but note that there is still a swapping fee for each swap request you make.

      • magnitude on 21/07/2022 - 14:00

      • lostn on 21/07/2022 - 18:58

        do you get a brand new unit or a refurb? I heard it's a refurb.

        It would be downright abuseable if you could get a brand new one. Just wait the two years, get a brand new one and resell it for more value than a used one.

        • scrimshaw on 21/07/2022 - 19:15

          There is a higher chance of you getting a refurb if the the device has been out for a long time: Samsung will have accumulated a lot of repaired units.

          Note that it's very common in the electronics industry for the manufacturer to replace things like laptops and phones with refurbished units. This includes Apple and AppleCare, as well as Dell, Microsoft, Google etc cetera

    I have a deep scratch on my S22 Ultra (never happened in my Note 8 of 5 years) after a couple months of use. I have Samsung Care as well (which I know I can device swap for free).

    Would there be any chance of getting my device replaced? The scratch is pretty annoying but don't want to pay for a swap fee for something minor.

    It's also the online exclusive sky blue if that complicates things.

    Apparently they made the S22 more crack resistant but less scratch resistant than its predecessors.

    Samsung insists on putting very poor English speakers on stage at the unpacked events. Their Korean English accents are so bad that I struggle to understand what they're saying. This is NOT a racist comment it's just a fact that the English is awful. In the newer events they do sprinkle it with presenters who are native English speakers but they still keep the bad English presenters.

      • krisspy on 22/07/2022 - 09:06

        It still worked for me about 4 months ago when they had the bundle deal. But I think they prehold an amount and take it off the value of the phone you're trading (EG. $250 iPhone won't give you a full $250 discount until they receive the phone). But the trade in bonuses were still there despite me not sending anything.

        There were 4 different discounts stacked and I really didn't care doing the maths.

    I used to be a Samsung fan from the near beginning because they had more customizability for a cheaper cost than Apple, but as the years went on, they seem to just get worse and copy Apple anyway.

    Can someone convince me not to switch to iPhone for next phone? Their phones seem more stable, streamlined, don't overheat if you have mobile data and gps on while charging, seem to be more secure and Apple's customer service seems way better than Samsung.

    Sounds good in theory, but i cbf buying from their online store when JB Hifi will be doing at least the $500 gift voucher (the JB Hifi guy said more like $1000). I just cracked my screen on my Note 10, went to see if there are any deals, but nope there is squat going on right now, they arent even trying to get rid of old S21!!!! (same price as S22????).

    He had a Flip 3, which is what I was going for, but he urged me to wait it out a couple of weeks and I will be rewarded. I had just missed the last of their promos as of last week.

    Gone are the days of pretty much a free phone (or the plan), when you pay just the contracted monthly service charge! In are the gift cards you can use to knock off the price of the outright handset (as long as you stay with your telco for 12-24mnths. ++$250 trade-in on your old Samsung. ++ Earbuds. If you're lucky you lucky you may also get a port in bonus $10/mnth off your service (around a year ago they had all 3 of these promos: $1000 + $250 + $10/mnth off your plan.

    I had a perfectly fine Note10, but its the smaller one and my eyesight is going in my old age. Just wanted a bigger screen, but wasnt game enough to switch to an unknown like Oppo etc. A $2k+ handset had me paying outright $600 odd on the telstra $69/mnth plan- $10/mnth port in bonus. It was about $650 outright if I recall, for a flagship new Samsung, on telstra paying only $59/mnth for 24 months. The kid on the floor was a wizz, I had no idea how he arrived at that number, but it sounded ok to me.

    Better have your calculators handy! Unfortunately i didnt jump the gun there and then, and ended up just settling with what I had. Now top of screen doesnt work, and I cant even use it to trade in :-(
