Two decent options if you are after a fairly good foldable phone. Harvey Norman are offering either $2000 off the price of the phone on the 24 month plan, or $2299 off on the 36 month plan. They sell the phone for $2299. So essentially Pay $299 for the phone and go on a $69 per month Optus plan for 2 years, or get the phone for free and go on a $69 per month plan for 3 years. Offer only available in store.
Where did you find the $690 figure?
Thanks
Wow this seems like a great deal
so if my math's are right its around 299+276(69*4)+690=1265 (cancelling after 4months) for a $2299/- phone
Similar to the initial preorder/launch prices 12 months ago. 10 Pro Fold is coming out in a month. Don't get me wrong, this is the cheapest deal if you want this phone now. This would be a great deal for the 10 Pro Fold, or Z Fold7.
So is it reasonable to expect it again for Pro Fold 10? I’m not really sure if there’s a pattern?
A similar deal might happen for the Pro Fold 10, but may be waiting many months for it.
Where does the $690 come from?
Tempted to do this.
Any tips or pros/cons from experience bargainers??
was cheaper to buy on plans when launched last year.

not for the fold
It's a shame that Harvey Norman has introduced 3 year mobile phone contract 😮💨
Does also mean that your handset is warrantied for a minimum of 3 years though.
not true, these are sim only plans, phones are outright and not part of plan
That'll get tested soon enough. No way you're selling 3 year SIM plans to go with an outright phone and not having customers quoting ACL and reasonably expect the phone to last that long.
This is already very enticing for someone like my dad lol. Owns a Z Fold3 and is open to going on these types of plans so paying $69/mth for 2 years + the $299 upfront for him (getting a $2.6k MSRP phone for $2k basically) is a win to him. Only gripe is Porcelain is barely available now…
Any chance this is just to clear 9PF stock with 10PF coming in around Oct?
Edit: it probably is anyway. Oh well. Might have to see what 10PF has in stock closer to launch maybe

Am I doing this right?

100% buy insurance if you're getting one of these
I dropped it once after 3 months and the inside screen is cooked unfortunately (cost like $1300 to replace so not going to bother)
I take pretty good care of my things but it got caught on my pocket when taking it out and one drop just cooks the inside, (it was closed) works perfectly fine as a normal phone now though.
Just curious, did you have a protective case on your phone?
Yeah I had a case on it, unfortunately the inside screen gets a small crack and the whole screen goes, then as you fold and unfold it slowly goes down the whole screen
Definitely buy an insurance plan, thats the only thing I regret as I did like the inside screen.
Had the same thing occur! The hinge is the Achilles heel! Was in a case, which covers EVERYTHING EXCEPT FOR THE HINGE!
Very good price
Friend works at JB. Says foldable phones have the most returns because the hinges break easily, regardless of brand.
If you get one, be careful with it. I really wish the Surface Duo was still a thing. I'd rather have 2 separate screens.
I would have jumped on this, but last time I went on Optus I hated the coverage, then my data was leaked…
rubbed my eyes - yep it's not Fold 10. Sighhhh
9?
I thought it is 10 Fold Pro LMAO
I had a really frustrating experience with my Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4. The phone needed repairs twice while it was still under warranty. Then, not long after the warranty expired, it broke again with the same issue. This time Samsung quoted me $1,050 for the repair. Considering this is supposed to be one of Samsung’s flagship devices, I expected it to last much longer without constant problems. Having it fail multiple times (and right after the warranty ended) really makes me question the quality of the device. Has anyone else had a similar experience with the Fold series? Did you manage to get Samsung to cover the repair outside of warranty?
Samsung is impossible to deal with out of warranty, they are notorious for this. even if you are entitled to remedy under ACL.
Mine had the inside screen replaced just before the warranty ran out, I took it into an authorised repair store.
The rear glass was cracked, he fixed that first which I paid for, then claimed it on warranty for me (he said they would deny it if it showed damage)
It has been fine since, he did say when they do it, they replace the whole chassis and batteries, battery life has been fantastic! it's stopped me wanting to get a new phone for a while.
Whats been the issue with yours? (I have the 4 too)
