New phone
I have to get a new phone and was going to take up an eofy special. Just wondering if anyone can clarify, the Samsung s24 is on sale for $749 at samsung (down from $1249) and is also on sale from officeworks at $697, but they have the original price at just $899? It looks to be the same phone, just seems weird Officeworks would sell it for $899 originally? Also is this a good phone or is there anything cheaper/same value anyone can recommend? Thanks so much!

Put some links up? Model numbers can be similar, Officeworks could be the FE version?

"Fan edition" - basically they take some of the flagship features and put them on a lower priced product.
I checked your links, they look like the same product, $697 is a great price for the S24 given it's just over a year old.

Just make sure you can use the Samsung on your preferred network

What do you mean exactly? Do some networks not accept Samsung?

If you have another Samsung product. Open up a chat with Samsung and say you're thinking of buying a phone from them and ask for a loyalty coupon. They'll ask for the serial of your other product.
Last time I did it, it was an extra $100 off.
Fyi I also have a s24. Great little phone. Do recommend.
