Hello, we're currently looking to update our S20 FE to the S25 FE.

There are so many threads and sub threads about coupons and deals and how to get x off from y or … well there's just a lot. I was wondering if anyone could help with the simplest steps to picking up a S25 FE for the best price we could get without having to do anything crazy.

So far, the only thing I've found is a $1 -> $50 coupon on Samsung's site, but they also list the FE as "coming soon" even though it's already for sale at JB Hi-Fi? so I'm not sure what's up with that even.

Any help would be greatly appreciated in navigating this seemingly complicated world of discounts that some of you seem to have down to a science.

Thank you

  General advice would be to wait only a couple more months for the S26 line-up to be released, and take advantage of pre-order deals

  Refer to S25 deal here from late January at the model's launch

  Will the S26 FE be released then? I thought they usually come out quite a while after the initial line up release

    Correct, but another variant could be more suitable. As per that post, people pre-ordered ultras for $1200-1300

    Is ther a reason you prefer SE to the main line?

  One reason is $1200-1300 as discounted phones is still way too much that's like double the price of the phone I'm asking about. We usually get the FE because it's cut down and cheaper and the majority of the things cut down we don't care about. From what I'm reading though about this particular FE they cut the chip much lower than they did in the past and some people are saying to just wait for the S25+ to go on sale for roughly the same price without making the sacrifices they made this time without discounting it as much. But suggesting to wait for the S26 lineup for "deals" that are double the price bracket of the phone I'm asking about I don't think is helpful at all.

    that's like double the price of the phone I'm asking about.

    Umm, the S25 FE is $849 currently

    I don't think is helpful at all.

    No worries, good luck

  I found the FE for $722 (samsungs edu store), "like double" might have been a little more hyperbolic than I intended so I apologize for that. I've upvoted all your responses though, while not as helpful for me because of the still larger price difference than I can personally find financially acceptable, your advice will still likely prove helpful to others.
