Save big on your next Samsung phone when you bundle with one of these telco deals
The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE is now officially available in Australia, and to celebrate the launch, Vodafone, Optus and Telstra are offering some rather competitive deals on the new device, just as Amazon Prime Big Deal Days has come around and slashed the prices on all kinds of tech.
Fitting into the wider S24 range as the cheapest entry-level model, with some specs shaved down to bring costs lower, the S24 FE bridges the gap between the budget Galaxy A series and the flagship S series. It’s honestly a very attractive phone if you don’t want to spend too much while still getting great performance, however it has gotten a noticeable price bump over the S23 FE, which started at AU$999 last year.
The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE is now priced at AU$1,099 for the standard 128GB device, and AU$1,199 for the 256GB device – but for a limited time, you can save quite a lot of money when you bundle the phone with an eligible telco plan.
Samsung has teamed up with Telstra, Optus and Vodafone to cut up to AU$300 from the price of the Galaxy S24 FE, effectively making it cheaper than the Google Pixel 8a.
Arguably even better, JB Hi-Fi is slashing the price of the 128GB S24 FE in its entirety if you sign up for its AU$79p/m plan for 24 months. Samsung is also offering a AU$100 trade-in bonus on the Galaxy S24 FE, but that pales in comparison to the other deals at hand.
With the AU$300 discount from the telcos, the S24 FE’s price point sits just above the budget and segment-leading Samsung Galaxy A55, which starts at AU$699. The Galaxy S24 FE is a more powerful phone in comparison in almost every way, which to me helps justify the extra AU$100, and it comes with Samsung’s slew of Galaxy AI features, such as Circle to Search, Chat Assist, Interpreter and Note Assist.
The only catch with these Samsung Galaxy S24 FE deals is that you have to sign up on a repayment plan with JB Hi-Fi, Optus, Vodafone or Telstra, spanning 12, 24, or 36 months (with specifics varying depending on the provider).
