        I personally don't view Android tablets at $1000+ bargains. I looked it up and according to Sam mobile this will only receive support up to Android 17. So essentially looking at around 5 years of software support. That just doesn't cut it imo for the money Samsung wants you to spend. Its easier to justify dropping 1k for an iPad because you know you'll be getting long support. For instance even my now ancient iPad Air 2 I picked up for around $650 at release is still getting updates, albeit security updates. An almost ten years old device. Try using an Android tablet made in that 2014 era, pretty terrible experience now. The way I view it, less support should see a significant difference in cost. From a value perspective less of a bargain. Fwiw even cheap Chromebooks offer 8 years worth of updates now. I get most Android suck interns of software support, but then again the other OEMs aren't pricing their tablets similar to Apple.

          did …you just compare 2014 era android devices who had 1 -2 years of software support with current gen which give you 5
          then compare that with apple

          so basically even though samsung has improved their support. youre comparing ipads to generic android from 2014…how does that logic even work

          its literally comparing apples to oranges to pears

          itd be fairer to say
          current gen apple costs x and gives you at least Y years of support (which i understand is like 6 or something
          an equivalent $1k samsung tablet with 5 years support costs X

          that would be far more equivalent

          otherwise itd be comparing a tesla with a 1980 camry and complaining about the lack of support and mileage for non electric vehicles

          • Ronnnie on 30/07/2023 - 16:09

            @furythree: No, I wasn't comparing 2014 Android era tablets with modern tablets.

            I was comparing the support life cycle of what the tab s9 is being promised versus what typically Apple provides with their ipads support cycle. It's easier to justify spending this kind of money on a tablet that will see support for eight plus years of support versus only five years (which I don't think is good enough for a premium device in 2023). That's a like for like comparison, I don't know why you performing such mental gymnastics.

            You can see on this site the support cycle of all ipads,
            https://endoflife.date/ipad

            The six year figure you came up with has been beaten on every older iPad with the exception of the original ipad.

            The fairer to say part is exactly how I am forming my opinion.. It's fairer to say that Apple typically support their devices for at least eight plus years. They have demonstrated this for over a decade. I don't know where you are coming up with the six year figure? Do you have a source for this? Are you claiming Apple are going to provide worse support on their future premium iPad products? Of course if Apple only provided six years of support vs five years of Samsung, then this would change my opinion.

            • furythree on 31/07/2023 - 15:19

              @Ronnnie: youre too hung up on apple

              whether its 6 years 9 years or a billion years. the point isnt how long apple supports their devices. nobody disputed that they supported their devices for a significant time. which is great

              the point was that you were being disingenuous with the android comparison

              yes historically android devices have crap support, but over the years they have gotten better
              additionally over time the crap support was offset by a SIGNIFICANT price difference. many complained about the lack of support but were either more than happy to take the upfront lower cost of purchase. They want their cake and eat it too.

              For most reasonable people, it was an accepted reality that you buy a cheaper device knowing you werent going to get long term support, but it was worth it to them. If you want long term support you pay the premium from apple for that 8 year software support so that you have the knowledge you can safely pay them $300 to replace a screen or battery later down the line instead of $60.

              These devices arent so black and white comparible as you say, just because they are both "tablets". android fanbois love their sideloading and freedom which apple doesnt even have as a feature, and apple has its only unique features and quirks. Their long term software support is different as you highlighted. The repairability and cost of parts and accessories is different. Theres far more nuances than these listed things, to make price seem "worth it"
              example: doesnt matter if ipads cost $100 or $1000, if you cant sideload an app for example that you really need and cant get it any other way. it might as well be a useless brick

              with regards to software support, 5 years support is more than ive seen samsung ever offer up. Which is great and this is a trend that seems to be increasing. Realistically once devices hit that 5 year mark, new tech significantly overshadows it and most people upgrade or relegate their devices to really basic use like browsing and streaming, where the software support isnt really needed.

              so apple offering the 8 year support is like solar panel companies offering 25-30 year warranties on solar panels that would have abysmal efficiency by that point

              i still have an ipad air 2 or watever its called. Daughter uses it to stream videos. It works fine, but even if apple offered software support for it, itd be pointless given the processor and storage limitations

              Many people will consider current gen devices blazing fast and overkill for their needs….thats what we thought 5 years ago too. But software bloat and higher processing needs will creep up and render current gen not that fast by 5-8yearsm rendering that superficial number kinda feel-good only. Unless you have say an m1 ipad.

    Can I use my $100 Galaxy Unpacked code on this? Or not applicable because of Samsung edu?

    • RichardL on 26/07/2023 - 21:45

      I'm assuming the 'UNFOLD' Code?

      I just tested, and it does give you the bonus Battery Pack. The $100 is a bonus trade-in credit.

      • Scrooge McDeal on 26/07/2023 - 21:48

        Yes, correct. Nice. I might ask one of my nephews to get their edu email. 😄

            @RichardL: Some people got targeted email with a bonus $200 trade in credit.
            Can confirm I tested it with the s9 and stacks with the $100 bonus trade in credits
            Brings the Tab S9 256gb down to $734.20 after selecting galaxy tab S4 as a $5 trade in.

              @Schumi5: Hmm for some reason my unique $200 code doesn't work.

              The code you entered did not affect your order. Please note, codes may only be valid for certain items or in certain conditions.

              • Schumi5 on 26/07/2023 - 22:31

                  @Schumi5: Nope doesn't work for mine.

                  I wonder if the code is tied to the account, since my $200 code was sent to my main Samsung Account (and not my EDU Account).

                  • Schumi5 on 26/07/2023 - 22:40

                    @RichardL: Apply UNFOLD code first to get the $100 and then the unique code for the $200, see if that makes a difference. But yes may be tied to account if that doesn't work

            • Scrooge McDeal on 26/07/2023 - 22:17

              @Schumi5: Is the $200 trade in credit code unique? Can we create a Giveaway thread for people that won't use them?

              • Schumi5 on 26/07/2023 - 22:23

                @Scrooge McDeal: Yep a unique code so I suppose you could create a thread for people who have them and willing to give or sell

              @Schumi5: Holy shit yes, I have an old S4 tab I've been wanting to upgrade (still works like a champ, only now beginning to have battery life degradation), and I somehow got the +$200 trade-in voucher. Can confirm, getting a total of $300 trade in credit, for $734.20 on the 12GB 256GB 11 inch model. With stupid free cover. So glad I didn't jump on the Tab S8s at worse prices!

    Use code UNFOLD with the tab s9 and it add a free powerbank. (Worked on edu store)

    https://www.samsung.com/au/mobile-accessories/10-000mah-batt…

    I think depending on what product you purchase the bonus is different, eg if you order the new fold or flip it could be a different bonus

      Interesting, I think they removed the power bank now.

      Testing the code and it doesn't automatically add it.

      Manually adding also doesn't work.

      EDIT: so it either the Power Bank OR the $100 Bonus trade-in credit as per the email.

        One advantage for Samsung Is it has the DeX mode. Adding a keyboard and mouse to iPad is still an inferior experience. if you used that feature a bit, I can see how it may sway someone to one over the other.

        I've had both iPad and Android tablets for years. Because in general Android tablets are cheap and do stuff that I found inferior on Apple iPads. In general stuff like multimedia consumption is better on my old Samsung tablet because of better aspect ratio and I prefer the OLED screen. Even stuff like game emulation of older systems I find better because I prefer the OLED screen and there's less roadblocks in being able to install and run those old emulators. I've never considered choosing one over the other, because Android tablets are usually way cheaper…

        The iPad win out in terms of length of support, more apps being designed for iPad that utilise the entire screen, productive applications made for iPad and modern mobile gaming is better. iPad SoC typically are miles ahead of Android Qualcomms offerings too.

    How hard is it to get the student discount? Can an old uni email be used or does it need to be active?

    • RichardL on 27/07/2023 - 10:19

      You'll just need an .edu email and required to click the confirmation link from that email to create an account.

      You're wrong and that isn't a valid downvote reason.

  • ozkossi on 27/07/2023 - 10:38

    Ordered to replace my s7.

  • Raj09 on 27/07/2023 - 11:14

    I have the s8 plus. I do not have the uni email though. I think I might wait after launch. Amazon will drop its first batch to a discount and grab it then.

    Anyone managed to get the $50 newsletter code to stack with this?
    I've been trying to use it with a different tablet on education store with the following message -
    The code you entered did not affect your order. Please note, codes may only be valid for certain items or in certain conditions.
    Tried chatting with the support person but they said it doesn't work and may be limited to certain items…which doesn't match what the T&C on the newsletter page says…

    • RichardL on 27/07/2023 - 11:51

      I tested the $50 newsletter code last night and it doesn't work/stack.

      • dodgey on 29/07/2023 - 01:06

        Try a different order of adding the code.

  • Wattsy305 on 27/07/2023 - 12:11

    Will there be a notable difference between the 12gb and 16gb models?

    Not sure if this applies to the Education Store. But for non-educational store buyers, you can request a code (through Samsung Loyalty email) for a complimentary pair of Galaxy Buds2 Pro (Graphite) valued at ($349 RRP).

    Also, if you are one of the first 500 customers to pre-order a Galaxy Z Fold5 or Galaxy Z Flip5 and correctly answer the following question posted on the Samsung Members Community Platform by 12.00pm AEST 27th July, 2023 – 11:59pm AEST 31st August, 2023, you could receive a complimentary Galaxy Watch5*:

    True or False: The Samsung Galaxy Fold4 has a 50MP wide-angle camera

    To enter, you will need to also register your details in the link below to be considered for a chance to receive a Galaxy Watch5.

      Can also be found in the Samsung Members App. Doesn't apply to EDU store though.

    • eddyfly on 27/07/2023 - 23:45

      How to request the free Buds2 pro? Chat to the supporting guys?

    • EY15 on 06/08/2023 - 16:43

      Am also curious about the process for the free buds2 pro

    Same here. Was placing order from regular store, and requested for a code and got the Buds 2 Pro for free. Pretty Good deal I must say.
