For some reason I also had a 5% extra discount on checkout as first purchase even though I've already used my account to buy something a few years ago. It brought the price down $1740.61.
This also includes the 6 months of Google AI Pro with 2TB storage.
256GB - $1633.24
1TB - $2199.20
Can't wait, my s23 ultra screen further cracked and blue half the screen lost touch screen function 😂
When is this though? my S21 Ultra is hanging on for dear life and like sqheaven I cant access the top or bottom on touch screen. Not sure I can wait another 2 months
Reminder that the S26 Series is due to be announced by March 2026

I miss the times when announcements of the new phones were exciting.
Because these new phones from Sam and Apple are not exciting compared to Chinese Phones.
the ultra version announcement and pre order with all the best deals and trade- ins will be late January 26 for delivery in early Feb 26
Did you click the link by any chance?
I have the S22 Ultra and its been fine. Looking at a replacement and the Oppo Find X9 Pro is top of my list. I keep getting tempted by these deals for the S25 Ultra, but I cannot bring myself to pull the trigger. Hoping the X9 Pro will go on special so I don't have to go Grey import.
I'm upgrading from S22 ultra as well. I can't stand charging 2-3 times a day haha I've got my powerbank just to keep my phone usable and I'm thankful it had 45w charging.
I was looking at the other alternatives too but what sold me was the 6 major upgrades that the s25 ultra had. I have not had issues with my s22 ultra apart from the battery. If I didn't have the battery issues, I'd still be keeping my S22 ultra, it still had the Android 16 update this year which is the last major one I believe and it just works 😅
When did the battery life start getting bad?
After 2 yrs? Sucks the batteries aren't easily replaceable.
Day one haha the s22 ultra chipset I believe isn't as efficient.
Replacement battery from samsung seems pretty reasonable at $125
My battery is still ok for the most part, but I keep getting weird problems with the phone heating up and then killing the battery. I could just reset it, but want to get something new.
If you want the best cameras, try the Vivo x300 Pro.
From what I have read the x9 Pro is better camera. They are similar price in the grey market.
Only time to buy a Samsung is at launch for the best deal. With all the stacked codes and a trade in with an iPhone xr smashed screen for the 256 model for $1100 with a galaxy watch 7. It's wait for the S26 ultra.
1832 for soon to be updated phone??
Tou can try your luck pricematch at JB
https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0DTHRHT25/ref=sspa_mw_detail_1…
I just did and grabbed at 1569, 6% gift cards
Really in store or on chat?
In store @bazz
JB hi fi are also matching harvey norman 10% gift cards deal
I just tried this both in chat and by calling the store and it didn't work for me :( they said it's because it's a third party seller
Yeah sounds about right unless it is Amazon directly they won’t match it.
Samsung is nuts thinking its worth this much post Christmas, with s26 around the corner.
Just moved from the S23 ultra to the 17 pro. I always buy the Samsung on annual launch deals.. but nothing great came.
I will say, it’s nice to change for a whole new experience sometimes. I would argue even vice versa.
I actually prefer my galaxy watch to any Apple Watch. Might just get a normal watch if they don’t release a more masculine one. The ultra could pass.
I did the same, the galaxy watch’s don’t even compare to the Apple Watch in terms of accuracy and reliability.
Although the galaxy watch’s are more durable and look better IMO I just wish they would fix the terrible heart rate accuracy and gps problems. Even a 4 year old Apple Watch is more accurate than the latest galaxy watch.
Pixel watch 4 is great though they have excellent heart rate accuracy.
what is samsung EPP and how do we get access to it?
I’ll wait for Samsung trade-in bonus to get the S26 Ultra at a lower price
