Samsung Galaxy Note9 – Where to buy in Australia

Samsung has finally unveiled their latest flagship handset, the Galaxy Note9 and it’s quite an attractive device. The handset has a bunch of great hardware, and it’s going up for pre-order today ahead of going on-sale officially in Australia on August 24th.

Samsung has announced pricing for the handset, with the 6GB RAM/128GB Storage model priced at $1,499, while the more premium model with 8GB RAM/512GB of Storage is priced at $,1799. The phone will be available in three colours in Australia with Midnight Black and Ocean Blue available for general sale, while the Metallic Copper option will be on-sale from ‘selected retailers’.

Samsung has also advised a special pre-order bonus with selected retailers that will let you purchase the 8GB RAM/512GB Storage model for the same price of the 6GB/128GB model. The details on which retailers will be offering this deal can be found at samsung.com/au/note9-offer/terms/.

So, the big question for many people is where will they be able to purchase the phone? The carrier deals are rolling in now, and here’s what we’ve got:

Retail

In terms of where you’ll be able to buy the Galaxy Note9, as usual they’ll be everywhere. Samsung has listed the official Australia Stockists as:

• Samsung Retail Stores
• JB Hi-Fi
• Samsung Online Store – (//shop.samsung.com/au/)
• Officeworks
• Telstra
• The Good Guys
• Optus
• Bing Lee
• Vodafone
• Qantas Q Store
• Harvey Norman

We’ll update with links to the pages as they go live, but there is of course going to be a bunch of grey importers, as well as smaller stores offering the Galaxy Note9 for sale. If you see it, drop a link in the comments below.

JB Hifi

JB Hifi has opened up their pre-orders again offering the storage update from 128GB to 512GB for anyone pre-ordering before August 23. The phone is being sold for RRP $1,499 in Metallic Copper, Ocean Blue and Midnight Black.

To check out JB Hifi’s offerings head over to their website.

The Good Guys

The Good Guys have also opened up for pre-orders offering the pre-order storage update bonus from 128GB to 512GB of onboard storage if you pre-order before August 23. The Good Guys are offering the phone for RRP $1,499 in Metallic Copper, Ocean Blue and Midnight Black.

Harvey Norman

If your preferred retailer is Harvey Norman, then you can also choose to grab the phone in either 128GB or 512GB storage options in Metallic Copper, Ocean Blue and Midnight Black from Harvey Norman. They’re offering the same storage update bonus for pre-orders placed before August 24th, updating you to the 512GB model for no charge.

If you want to check out the range at Harvey Norman you can head over there now.

Bing Lee

I like Bing Lee, so goes their ad-copy and if you like them too you can head over to Bing Lee to pre-order your Galaxy Note 9 in Metallic Copper, Ocean Blue and Midnight Black from Bing Lee.

The company is offering the storage update bonus for the Galaxy Note9, though as you can see it’s a bit different. Customers ordering the Metallic Copper can get the bonus for the next 13 days, while Ocean Blue and Midnight Black can pre-order for the next 21 days to get the bonus – odd.

If you want to check out the pre-orders from Bing Lee, they’re live now on the Bing Lee website.

Carriers

As you’d expect, the Galaxy Note 9 is going to all three Australian carriers. It appears that none of the carriers will be offering an exclusive on the Metallic Copper colour option, so if you’re in the market for that one it’s going to have to be from one of the retail outlets.

Vodafone

Vodafone will be offering both the Midnight Black and the Ocean Blue colours of the Note9 in both 128GB and 512GB storage options on their network, but are advising that their customers can get the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 512GB for the price of a 128GB if you order with a Red or Red Plus Plan before 23 August. The prices are in-line with the RRP and Vodafone offers a number of payment terms over 12, 24 or 36 months with Vodafone’s signature no lock-in contract.
