[Q] Think the price will decrease right after the s2 is released? - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Looks like the second gen will officially be smaller with a different aspect ratio.
http://www.ibtimes.com/check-out-leaked-samsung-galaxy-tab-s2-cases-1945993
I've been needing to get a tablet and want the current gen tab s but don't want to see that I could have been 100$ richer by waiting a week. Alternatively I haven't talked to anyone who is happy with Samsungs continued Apple emulations.... Does the collective wisdom here think we'll see an instant price drop for the current gen or do you think merchants will try to wait out the change?

I think it most definitely will. The tablet has already been featured in some sales that put the price at around $270 I think. That's a steal considering how good the tablet is

Two weeks ago I paid $270 for my S 8.4. I'm sure it'll hit $230-250 by the end of the summer. August and September are back-to-school shopping months, so manufacturers like to release the newest computer/laptop and tablets then. Which means clearance of last year's model in the weeks/months before.

I'm waiting for the S2 to come out too..
I'm waiting to buy Tab S 8.4 LTE version when price is cut off.

I bought a Tab S 10.5 a month ago because of the change in aspect ratio. At that time there was a sale on for $70 off MSRP so I grabbed it. My suggestion would be to decide on a discount number and regularly check local prices for discounts. The sale was at Staples Canada and ended April 12th. You could use one of those computer best price checking web sites relevant for your country.

I too have been waiting, seeing the Tab S priced at $100 under "MSRP" all over the place (meaning it was $299 or even less), but hoping with my greedy heart that it would come down even further after the S2 was announced.
Image my surprise when a 2 days after the S2 announcement I couldn't find a single seller offering the Tab S for under $350, and most had jacked the price back up to retail.
Even now the "official" Samsung listing for the Tab S on Amazon is $379! WTF?

Anybody else find Amazons search a waste of space, as it gives you the wrong results, even when it gets it right, you cannot arrange from low to high like every other shopping site.
Is this just me.

UK availability?

Hey all.
Does anyone know when this will be available in the UK? A few weeks back it was at lakeside with the promise of general sale a few days after. I cannot find it even listed anywhere outside of expansys. I really want it!

The 16gb is available at the samsung store in Westfield centre Stratford. Thats the only place im aware of that has stock at the moment. They only stock the 16gb WIFI version though
Yep it's frustrating at the moment, I am almost tempted to order the 3G version from amazon.de, I think if they had the black version I would have ordered by now.
I can't help feeling that Samsung are shooting themselves in the foot the longer they leave it with the new Nexus 7 just round the corner.
Sorry I meant Westfield not lakeside! It's the 3G one I'm after ideally. Maybe amazon.de is the way forward. I'll give the UK another week or so then go German!

Carphone warehouse say they will ship wifi version before week commencing May 5th is you pre-order. However they also said this 10th april for delivery before 19th April. I pre-ordered (they took my money) and I rang to chase on the 18th to see it slip out to May 5th. So I cancelled my order.
So I don't suppose this really helps you! but they are listing it and cheaper than amazon.de.
I noticed the Carphone Warehouse date slipping too, I really looking for a black 3G version which it seems is non existent right now.
I asked Samsung UK on Facebook, they replied
Samsung UK (Facebook) posted this:
Samsung Mobile UK Hi Julie, the wifi version will go on general release in the first week of May. ^George
No details of 3G or 32GB units
I'm in the States, but want the 3G/Phone N5100 version as well. Every site that I've seen it listed at in the U.S. has also slipped from April 23rd to May 8th availability. So those dates correspond well to a 3-4 day lead time from foreign sources such as the initial May 19th, then May 5th dates given by Carphone Warehouse UK.
Hopefully May 5th (and May 8th for me) will be the day! Fingers crossed...
I own a Note 2, and was intrigued by this device.
However, the price really puts me off. For an 8" tablet, it is in a price bracket of it's own. More expensive than the iPad Mini even.
I just can't justify that layout for something that is just a little bigger than my Note 2, it just isn't worth it.
A real shame, because it looks a great device.

Its in a price bracket of its own, because its in a league if its own. Even against the iPad Mini, the Note 8 has the pen digitizer, better CPU, and 4x the RAM (although the exterior build quality is arguably not quite as good, but still great).
Its worth if for those that value a premium device packed with features, versus the "race to the bottom" pricing strategy and gimping of features and quality present on devices like the Nexus 7, Kindle Fire, and Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. I for one am thankful that somebody has stepped up with a quality Android device (in the "smaller" form factor), as the lower-priced competition just doesn't hack it for me.
I am also waiting for the 3G version to become available so that I can replace both my Note 2 and IPad Mini with a single device. :good:
Samsung UK Facebook stated the wifi version would be available on 10th May.
Currys have the same availability date with the Note 8.0 ready to pre-order.
The Note is on Amazon UK - £339. However they are stating a 1- 3 month delivery. I'm confident that it will be available well before that time slot, as they often state this for newly released goods.

I'm assuming you got the WiFi only version? I'm patiently waiting for the 3G/Phone version to be released in the UK or elsewhere so I can get it through an importer to the U.S. (Los Angeles).
Yes just the white 16gb wifi is all they have....hope you don't have to wait to long
Thanks. We'll see. Unfortunately, Negri Electronics has pushed their "Expected Availability" date for the preorders forward twice already.

An Australian grey importer got the the 3G version in stock yesterday, so probably you'll see other importers get them soon.
Decided to wait further, as Australian versions of the device get 24 months warranty, but if you get an international version, it only has 12 months warranty. Endless waiting!

How much the device will cost?

How much do you think this device will cost for public? Without contract for sure

thx for your input but oh please, I don't know if you're samsung fan or not but I really need your humble and honest opinion about samsung product and the hardware itself, nowadays samsung has been chosen by people and lot's of people using samsung product, and do you think samsung with touchwiz itself and also from the hardware point of view will last longer and my friend they're not samsung hater but they used to repair samsung product and they told me samsung after a year usually will show any problem or issue for the hardware itself ?
but this is not my statement ok ? I'm just sharing my thought with you guys, for those who are expert in this point of view please I will be very welcome to correct my thought. Cause I'm thinking about getting nexus 7 2013 edition or note 10.1 2014 edition, but honestly the 10.1 is too big but the 3gb ram, OMG, that's so tempting hard to resist , I rather choose 10.1 with that price than the same price or the note 3 which is more expensive than note 10.1
I have a crazy idea!
If we wait until they actually tell us, instead of speculating and asking the public what they think, we'll be able to make better decisions and have less anxiety while waiting.

IMHO Samsung's hardware is not worse than the one from any other brand, and regarding software they usually give reasonable support over time, not always fast enough though, especially for older devices, but better than any other phone maker anyway.
I personally dislike touchwiz, but no other tablet or phone offers to me such a powerful environment for working with a digital pen
So say we all!! from my GT-I9500
I'm hoping for the 32GB version to be no more than $549
If you wait 6 months maybe. The first prices are 599€ for wifi and 699€ for LTE. All versions are 16GB. But not official yet. But i think they are realistic. If you look at the Galaxy Note 8.0. It was/is extensive too.

well if you're talking a device with pen, I couldn't be more agree with you and yes it is powerful galaxy note with a pen but that's the thing that I have is, do you think by filling all kind of content into device till the device only has 2gb room left from the available capacity do you think is that device will have lagging issue or something like that ?

The note 3, at least from T-mobile, will cost 700 dollars. If it's slightly above that then screw that...

You have to balance currency values, exchange rates, import taxes, etc. What it sells for in India even with exchange rates is now a reflection of what its going to cost in the US. I mean what did Verizon do they bumped the price of the GN3 up $50 over the GN2, why double the internal storage which is in line with normal pricing. The newer model has other spec bumps on the GN2 vs GN3 so again it falls in line.
I expect it to be $549-599 for the 32GB WiFi version anything above that and its simply not worth it no matter how nice it is.

The phone will cost $199 for 32GB, $299 for 64 GB on AT&T, according to the carrier's site.
Seems really expensive to me given it's specs and the fact that it does not run the Play store and likely locked to AT&T with a locked bootloader.
This is not a Galaxy S5. People expected this phone to be priced more like a Google Nexus or Kindle (ad subsidized), but all they ended up with was run of the mill AT&T pricing.
The functionality is cool but at this price I wonder who is going to buy this phone. At this price, people who want an Android will stick with LG or Samsung, and the others will get an iPhone... who is going to go with Amazon? What is the selling feature.. being able to play with maps in 3D?

A 720p display that's only 4,7" is not really a problem.
I was a big fan of the LG 3D and moved on to the LG 3D MAX. moved away from the 3D MAX due utter lack of support from LG in terms of software upgrades. Was looking forward to this phone since the rumours started as I loved the 3D technology. Unlike many people, I had no issues whatsoever in viewing 3D on the phones.
This phone turned out to be a whimper instead of a loud bang!

Agreed. I don't even notice any pixels on my Note II with same resolution but much larger screen. Once thing I don't understand is why they are still using 4.2.2 as base android branch. What's so difficult to move to newer versions? With the growing popularity of wearable devices which need Blue LE. They should at least use 4.3 as baseline.
I was very skeptic that amazon would launch this thing subsidized like it did with the kindle since probably everyone involved knew the risk of the phone becoming the cheap powerful phone everyone is flashing custom ROMs to instead of using the heavy data mining fireOS that would pay for the devices.
But amazon went the exact other way this time and with these prices its obviously making money with each phone sold, much like apple, while shipping an almost generic slab with no custom hardware besides 4 extra cameras for a laggy 3D UI effect, unlike apple with all its custom hardware and design.
IMHO this thing aint gonna sell squat, so I'm gonna wait until bezos panics and makes it $99 unlocked.
Then I will honor the deal by wiping out that spyware crap it comes with
...
I don't know how to delete my question, but it has already been asked elsewhere, apologies. If an admin could please delete this, I'd appreciate it, thank you.
I work for amazon and supposedly the phone will be significantly cheaper for employees just don't know by how much. they are also supposed to be giving us extra incentives for us to buy it.
A tablet is One thing But a Phone? This will have the same fate as the Facebook phone. Take away the Amazon apps and this thing is just another brick in the bunch. That 3d effect might be cool for a little bit but I bet i gets anouying after a while and its style looks Ugly. DONT GET ME STARTED IN THE PRICE. It is almost guaranteed it will be locked better than Ft. knox. Dont waste money on this Amazon, spend it on the Drones and just release the apps on Android, Windows and Apple Youll make more money that way.9

The facebook phone was incredibly half-assed compared to this.
The problem with the FP is price and price alone, everything else can be forgiven but the price is just batcrap insane, what were they thinking? did they not learn anything from the first iphone price? for the record that one too was at&t-only and it didn't sell well until apple dropped the price.
For amazon to get the marketshare it wants this thing should be $200 unlocked
Mine will be here today, paid $0 out the door went with the monthly ATT Next deal so I will at least only have to wait a year to upgrade again instead of two years as in the past. If it weren't for the free Amazon Prime for a year, since I do so much business with them each month, I probably would have passed on this phone but my S3 is messed up and I wanted something different. This will definitely be different.

So let me get this straight, for a $99 Prime account you went ahead and bought the biggest piece of crap phone and signed up for 2 years?
Sent from my LG-D851
No, one year of prime + signed up for one year of ATT Next. Regardless, the phone is going back tomorrow since Amazon refuses to return my phone calls, answer my emails, and their "Mayday" button isn't working at the moment on said piece of **** phone.
Edit: and I haven't paid anything yet. I am returning this dogpile, if ATT wants to pro-rate me as part of their "Next" plan, they will be talking to my lawyers for teaming up with Amazon for this crap.
The Fire phone price dropped to $449 and those who bought it soon before the drop (for the higher price) can ask for a refund and Amazon will most often acknowledge that!
Fire sale
Amazon is now offering this unlocked/no contract for $199 WITH a year of Amazon prime ($99 value).

[Q] Anyone Recently Buy Tab Pro 8.4 at Best Buy? What was the Price?

Was wondering if anyone bought a 8.4" Tab Pro from BB brick/mortar store recently, and if so, what was the price?
I know they were down to $249 at one point (price adjusted down at register), but they are still over $300 on the website.
Everytime I go to a store to inquire on price, they always go to the website and quote me the $300+ price
I really don't want to have to BUY one just to see what the correct price is.
As a side, I had both the Pro and S 8.4 for a few days. The Pro seemed more natural colors at first, but the S in Neutral setting really got me liking it. I also thought that the S was easier to hold (thinner and lighter). In the end, I sold/returned both of them figuring the Pro would price drop or I would get an open box S (BB seems to have a LOT of these online, but still kind of pricey for me)
Ultimately, I am CHEAP, and if I could get the Pro back for a good price, I will grab it.
Try Bestbuy Mobile.
Hello,
As Moscow Desire said: "NO QUESTIONS in this forum", please.
Got mine yesterday for $279 plus tax from a brick and mortar best buy store.
Amazon dropped the price to $280 earlier this week. I think this is the new normal price.
Two days ago I picked up the Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 at Best Buy for $250. I think they are trying to get rid of them to make room for the Tab S and newer models. I couldn't say no at that price, as I needed something to replace my rooted 2nd gen Nook Tablet (with bugs and no BT). They listed it for $250 on the website last I checked.
If you see a price or sale for BB online, do yourself a favor and preload the page on your phone (or print out the page) to bring with you... also for other BB online sale items. The last 3 times I went to BB, I had to show them that there was a different price listed on their website. For example, while checking the Tab Pro sale price at BB online, it showed a 32Gig Samsung micro SD for $17.99. I went into the store to get that micro SD and the price said $24.99. Just show the page from the BB website on your phone to a clerk and they should change it right then when you purchase it.
I picked one up yesterday at Best Buy for $249. The floor model had a $279 sale price but I got the sales rep to look at the weekly ad where it is listed for $249 until October 4.

Looking for the best deal currently myself.
I can see Vodafone have a sliding scale scheme; the more you pay up front the less you pay per month.
£469 up front for the phone then £65 a month for 25gb
I decided to buy from the Samsung Web site. Got £100 voucher from Sammy and trade in Tab S6 and further saving by using Samsung Pay. Also free starter kit worth £79. Good deal all round.
I see mention of a 16gb, is this being sold in the UK?

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 5G - Full phone specifications
www.gsmarena.com
12gb only
I haven't preordered a Samsung device since the s6. I just moved to the UK from America so I am intrigued. However since all Samsung folds are Snapdragon it may not be root friendly.
I also got a decent trade in (450) for the iPhone 11 I previously used in the US. So definitely 27/8 cannot come fast enough

The international version should still be root friendly (well as friendly as Samsung phones are) Samsung can't change the rules just because different cpu
I always buy my device using the Samsung upgrade program, and get a sim separately
Currently using a Vodafone esim with unlimited data for £29/month. I usually use a minimum of 600Gb/month, and as much as 2Tb.
Ordered the 512gb Fold3 and watch4 classic, looking forward to it!
Pre-ordered on 3 unlimited everything - first 6 months are 55 then up to 110 - will be shedding the wife's N10 towards future contract costs to reduce further.
Hoping to get a rom together reasonably quickly (depending on how many spanners Sammy have thrown in the works and differences from N20U)

I have been developing on the Tab S6 for over a year now and that's snapdragon
The main difference to Exynos i have noticed is lack of modifiable upparam on SD devices (to get rid of annoying red text when rooted)
Just noticed the free Starter Kit is availability until 31 December! This means you do get a S Pen included, in reality.
I did the rounds with a spreadsheet and figured out buying the phone from samsung.com with a vodafone contract was best. They had a deal for £59/mo plus £380 up front, unlimited calls, texts and 100GB 5G data. Total £1796. Nearly £200 cheaper than buying the phone outright and sticking on my £16.21/mo three contract. Going directly through carriers and looking at 100GB+ data was no competition either, vodafone and o2 about £2.2k, Three £2.3k, EE £2.5k etc.
I don't know if that works with tradeins, vouchers etc. so it might be possible to go cheaper.
I got mine from very, got 10% off when making first credit account purchase when using: welcome as discount code I believe…
Ended up paying 1490 down from the 1599.
Had a email from DPD that my Samsung parcel will be delivered tomorrow (20th). Sadly I’m away until next week so has to rearrange the delivery!

The fold 3 itself? Or accessories maybe?

They didn't hold onto them last year. I got mine early but not a whole week. I can see tracking in my Samsung order which forwards me to DPD but not had an email from DPD yet
Yeah I can see a number starting 70 that goes to dpd but think it’s too short to be tracking

Same here and looks like the Fold3! Sadly I'm away until Monday!
Does the UK Version have dual and eSIM or is it single sim and eSIM disabled like the US version ?
