DIGIOFF

Stumbled across this deal last night on digiDirect eBay store. Appreciate you can get newer Samsung flagship devices at good discounted prices but typically dependent on several variables not accessible to all. Listed price is $1099 before 20% off coupon (DIGIOFF) is applied. Listing says more than 10 available.

JB still has it listed for $1,947 but limited stock

Centrecom has enterprise edition for $1099 available at most of their stores (JB would price match centrecom)

Used prices are around $750 - $900 on eBay

    oh no!

    Leave the used price aside, that's a lot for 2 gen old phone.

    • marshmall0w2 on 24/07/2025 - 17:49

      When you can finesse the $0 port in JB Hi-fi phones , yeah

      • Oh Daddy on 24/07/2025 - 17:52

        Or you can buy them at about 1k mark directly from Samsung.

        • marshmall0w2 on 24/07/2025 - 17:56

          I meant you can finesse newer phones (up to 1 gen old) for roughly the same price as a "2 gen old phone"

    • John Doh on 24/07/2025 - 20:06

      2 gen old Android!

    • taki on 24/07/2025 - 21:33

      It's better deal than iPhone 14 pro max at $700. You can extend with 1TB micro SD (s), S-pen, 200MP lens, AI, DeX multi window descktop mode, etc All extra features for long-term value. My battery stil lasts the whole day (& half) with <60% per day used (charging @ 20-80%

    Samsung peaked at the S23 series. After that, it's just gimmicks to sell new shiny stuff.

      I’ll never buy a Samsung phone personally and have been anti Samsung for a while now but my wife just got the Z Fold 7 and it’s a nice phone. Definitely not a gimmick.

      • jackary on 24/07/2025 - 18:19

        Have just made the same switch, from a 16 Pro Max. Honestly, it’s a really great device so far and people keep asking me what the hell it is. So I guess it is somewhat gimmicky, but it’s equally functional!

      • Mrtoolate on 24/07/2025 - 18:20

        The foldable series is a different story, but for regular phones, the hardware has been almost similar for the last three generations; it is just a new name with a different camera location and a new price tag. Same story with Apple as well, there isn't much new to put in a phone every year, but somehow they gotta come up with schemes to increase sales and make their shareholders happy.

          The S25 Ultra Qualcomm chip is an absolute beast. S23 It's is still extremely great, but… You can't argue with those benchmarks in the current gen

            @Droz: Benchmarks are not trustworthy nor a gauge to check real-world usage differences.

          • heef on 24/07/2025 - 22:33

            @Droz: Benchmarks aside I'm very pleased with my S25 Ultra. Paid $1300 including 2 yrs Samsung Care back in March. Great phone, battery is 1.5 days easy.

          Completely agree. I could barely notice a difference moving from S23 to S25 ultras. Camera, screen, battery, speed, s-pen all felt exactly the same. Also upgrading on Android is a dog. Took me about 4 hours solid work re-logging in to all my apps.

    • spacemannn on 24/07/2025 - 18:27

      I'd say S20 was the peak. Last Gen before they removed the SD card and completely copied Apple for the main flagship phones.

      • maimai on 24/07/2025 - 19:37

        IMO S10 series was peak, headphone jack, microSD, 3 different models, shame that they've just been copying Apple…

            @Sl138: I was super angry at the loss of the headphone jack at the time. I even only bought phones that still had them for a while… but now? Yeah I am over it.

            Sure you lost the ability to use headphones that don't need to be charged, but earbuds these days last ages anyway. If you really want to use wired you can use that adapter, and phone batteries last long enough now to not be needing to charge all the time.

              @zarbicore: I wasn't a fan of losing the headphone jack either. All my earphones/headphones are wired. But the USB-C to 3.5mm dongles aren't that bad. I've had the google and ugreen ones and both work great.

          My s10 is giving up the ghost right now. Have changed the battery but it's just as crap as the original. Will go with the s25, not because I want to buy because I have to upgrade from the s10. I wish I could still keep it. Great phone.

        • Lord Ra on 24/07/2025 - 22:01

        I'm quietly hoping the introduction of 10X faster micro SD EX cards means a return for SD slots. But it looks like that's not happening for the S26.

    It's a great phone. It has a 10x periscope telephoto zoom, which got downgraded to x5 in later gen.

    Note 256gb version has 8gb of ram, rather than 12gb. I had the 256gb version and didn't feel any lag at the time I had it.

  • joseph78 on 24/07/2025 - 19:34

    Does the S23 Ultra come with a 10x periscope lens for long-range zoom?

    • stevea on 24/07/2025 - 20:17
      -1

      yes it does,but the actual use case for 10x optical zoom is not that good unless you have a really steady hands.

      Any tiny hand movements will be too much for the 10x optical zoom, and photos will come out blurry and videos shaky.

      I think that is the reason Samsung lowered the zoom back to 5x.

      • A 1 on 24/07/2025 - 20:25
        +2

        The 10x zoom has OIS and is really useful for me, I haven't found camera shake to be a problem at all.

        • dracothraxus on 24/07/2025 - 20:30
          +2

          The 10x is very usable is most conditions and the switch back to 5x on the later models is frustrating.

      • Feelsbad on 24/07/2025 - 20:31
        +1

        I think you'll find most S23U users will be reluctant to give up their 10x optical zoom.

      • akaakmdm on 24/07/2025 - 20:38

        To be fair, the newer models have a 50MP sensor for the 5x zoom, compared to the 10MP sensor, so at least the digital zoom crop shouldn't cause too much of a quality drop

    (Been a bit outdated with phones lately)

    • Fredorishi on 25/07/2025 - 06:32

      I'm in the same boat with a S20ultra. NFI what to upgrade to and the S20 is just about dead. Usually just buy a used 2/3 year old phone but i usually spend 4 or 5 hund, not $900. Yeesh.

      • Lz ShifTy on 25/07/2025 - 08:58

        I agree normally I would just get a used iPhone from marketplace and call it a day but since I use my phone so much for work on a daily basis now due a new role at work I'd splash a little bit for something decent

    All sold.

    There were only 3 available when I saw post and was deciding whether or not to upgrade from Note10+

    Decided to proceed but sold out, despite listing still showing one available.

  • ozredpanda on 25/07/2025 - 11:03

    Coming from a Samsung Ultra 5G (First Gen) and upgrading to the Ultra 23 just last year.

    Phone is too heavy and will hurt your wrist, I was able to get it through facebook marketplace for this price.

    Not impressed, too heavy, nothing fancy same old phone, if anything, it has better durability, as in harder to break and no screen issues as previous phone.

    Thats my view, If you want a strong wrist and you dont suffer from arthritis or other symptoms, go ahead, recommend it to you.

    May not be as heavy without case, but watch what happens when you get the case.

    • Mugsy on 25/07/2025 - 11:08

      Agree that it's heavy. But I got use to mine… the camera, processing power, and Samsung's translation software and regular updates makes up for it for me.

      • ozredpanda on 25/07/2025 - 11:09

        Great phone other then it being heavy

    • aveeno bb on 25/07/2025 - 13:27

      Yes it is heavy. It is a trade off in packing so many cameras and stuff into a large screen phone. If it's not your thing, probs look at something like Galaxy S plus line.

    are these phones leftover from two years ago or are they still manufacturing new ones for some reason???

  • Maths Debater on 25/07/2025 - 20:23

    I really wanted to buy but Samsung bloatware puts me off and OneUI 7 is too much like a wannabe iOS.

    I just had a look at the comparison between my $499 P8P and this is only marginally better.
