Samsung Galaxy A54 5G 128GB
https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/samsung-galaxy-a54-5g-128…
Not flagship specs but can be good mid-ranger phones for elderly or teenagers. Just a note that both are single SIM phones.
As per specs on gsmarena it is Mediatek MT6877V Dimensity 1080 (6 nm).
They have the SOC swapped around, 54 is showing Mediatek.
Same in all Aus retailers from tomorrow..
I bought this today and tried to claim the watch using the link on JB website but it didn't work. Apparently it was released today so I thought maybe that's why.
Link on BigW and JB Hifi website are the same: https://www.samsung.com/au/offer/galaxy-a-series-2023/
EDIT: Just saw this in the terms and conditions - looks like people are able to buy the phone today but the offer apparently starts at 9am
Start Time and Date 09:00 AM AEDT 31st March 2023
Does anyone know if one or both support dual Sim?
Both are Single SIM only. Confirmed with Samsung Support via Chat
Thx
It's a pain we get shafted with an au model
When intl gets 2nd sim shared with microsd

:(
Problem with international model is that some features are region locked. For example, Samsung Pay versions are different. Overseas don't have the choice between using visa/eftpos, which is a pain as some merchants have surcharge for visa but not eftpos.
Anyone know if you can have one physical sim and also an e-sim?
Both are Single SIM phones only. With one physical SIM.
Confirmed with Samsung Support via Chat
Do you think https://www.jbcommercial.com.au/ would be covered under this promotion.. Samsung website mentions just JBhifi. at JB Commerical its $618 for a54.
I guess it should be as the redemption is usually through IMEI number and shouldn’t distinguish if its bought via JB Hifi Commercial or normal store, as in both cases product is sold by a normal store. Better buy and try to redeem before opening the packaging, so that if you can’t claim, simply return it and buy from normal store.
Samsung chat says if its advertised on the website then it should be okay. but it only advertised on retail website. Instore at JB they checked with manager and manager said it shouldn't matter what price you buy it for samsung only care about imei and proof of purchase. is JB Hifi Commerical receipt the same as regular store purchase ?
@Dr Techno Don't know about JB Hi-Fi Commercial but The Good Guys Commercial receipt says Commercial.
Does JB Hi-Fi price match its commercial store?
@trixieb: thanks. it does say JB Business but its using the same ABN as the actual store.. is bit of a grey area and no one is really sure. Im guess it should still be okay since educational store is 559 which is a bigger discount. FAQ just specifically mentions Samsung partner and educational pricing.. and excludes Catch marketplace. so if they wanted to exclude JB & Good Guys commercial sites it should be mentioned as a specific exclusion.. strange one.
@Dr Techno: I've made it to the Reviewed stage for redemption offer. not sure if that = success or theres more to come.
I just shared this over on the edu store deal.
YMMV but at the Samsung AU site you can at least claim the $50 signup bonus, plus there's also a bonus $100 on any trade ins (I had an old s8 that was stuffed).
As per below. 👍
Pretty happy with that.
Chose to avoid the edu store as I was claiming a trade in (currently bonus $100), plus $50 signup bonus, plus used my points (14000+) from the S23 Ultra purchase. I did have a 10% loyalty discount from my S23 Ultra purchase but talking with chat and it wasn't allowed to be applied. Either way, very happy with the end result. In my situation, it certainly trumps the edu store offering which only comes with the bonus welcome pack and doesn't let you use any codes.
With a screen protector added to cart, my total came to $408.xx + bonus Galaxy Watch 4. Glad I waited for these as I've been trying to hold off upgrading the wife's Note 9 which only just survived a a ride in the rain last week. This was perfect! 👌
Anyone got their watch yet.. Mine changed status to shipped last week.
JB incorrectly lists the A34 as having the Exynos 1380 cpu. Should be the Mediatek 1080.
