Samsung’s latest entry in its flagship smartphone lineup, the Galaxy S23, has finally been unveiled and it’ll be here quite soon. Set to launch on 17 February, the range is set to include a standard handset along with the S23+ and the S23 Ultra. Preorders for the new phone went live at the start of February, with the big three telcos – Optus, Telstra and Vodafone – all offering a different type of preorder deal.
While Optus has the best deal going when it comes to discounted plans, if you’re someone who prefers to get bonus gifts, then you’ll want to check out what Telstra has on offer. If you preorder any Samsung Galaxy S23 model between now and 16 February through Telstra, the provider will also throw in a Galaxy Watch5 (valued at $649) as a bonus gift.
If you’re after a smartwatch and just happen to be someone who likes to keep their tech within the same branded ecosystem, getting the Watch5 with the Galaxy S23 seems like a no-brainer. Released in August last year, the Galaxy Watch5 features include advanced sleep monitoring and coaching to help you get a better night’s rest, along with sensors that will help you keep track of your heart rate, blood pressure and blood oxygen. It also tells the time.
On top of this Galaxy Watch5 offer, Telstra will also chuck in four months of Spotify Premium ($11.99/month), two months of Binge Standard ($16/month) and three months of Apple TV+ ($9.99/month) as well. All up, that’s a bundle of bonuses worth around $750. This offer is available until 11.59pm, 16 February.
It’s worth noting that while this bonus Galaxy Watch5 is a solid deal, Telstra doesn’t have the cheapest preorder prices on offer – both Optus and Vodafone have lower monthly prices for the new Samsung smartphones. In most cases, Telstra’s monthly prices are roughly $10 more than the cheapest one available.
