An older (2022 release) phone but seems to have decent specs for the price
Click and collect or instore only. Appears to be available in quite a few Spark stores across the country.
Currently on sale for $189 at Noel Leeming - could try price matching?
Is there any indication of whether this one is unlocked as well?
Also might be useful for samsung trade in boost of your after a higher end device. When they offer $300 on a new device that's $200 saved.
trade in with Samsung or Spark for the extra boost?
Samsung. Recently traded in to get $500 trade-in boost. Bought it for $80 from FB.
Base value is only $15 for the highest storage option though.
Base value is irrelevant compared to trade-in boost. Considering the value of the phone and the discount you get. I look at it as $400 discount coupon ($100 phone cost)
Trade-in
SM-A045F/DS GALAXY A04 32GB - GENERIC
-$5.00
Total Discount Applied: $505.00
Your Old Device Value: $5.00
OverTrade Value: $500.00
i guess it depends on what youre after, the samsung 7 watch only has a 50$ trade in boost
@Nzfade: I wouldnt recommend using it like that, but as ace said they cam offer hundreds in boost. A couple of weeks back the s24 ultra was avaialble for under $1000 using this method so having ome of these could help you upgrade to a flagship device for a mid range price.
It's a nice phone well-built, excellent battery life but it is so so slow. On the plus side, it's excellent on the Samsung members app to get extra discount codes if you are in the same ecosystem.
They changed it to a Special Order item at Noel Leeming so can no longer Price Match probably
theres another one but with the warehouse sim card which is in stock but they wont price match me!
Why not? Because it's different network?? lol
just cause it comes with the warehouse sim card, i asked it to be excluded but still denied.
“Sorry, something went wrong while retrieving the plans.”
Spark site cheapied?
Anyone ordered and manage to pick it up already?
Anyone heard of spark digital? This phone is listed there for same price but website looks fake to me. Please confirm if anyone know about this website. Thanks.

It's legit and been around for years.
Part of Spark - business solution focused which is why ther pricing is all ex GST.
Not sure if you can buy it without a business account.
Update according to Spark staff:
6 in stock at Whanganui
OOS across Auckland, might be 1 left at Commercial Bay
2 at Willis St, Wellington
Yeah i chose to pick up mine from Takanini Store but they just wont answer any phone calls. Spoke to Spark Staff and Commercial Bay had 2, so i asked them to swap it to this store and i picked it up. So Takanini may have 1 which i cancelled unless thats gone too.
Which place would it be best to use for trade-in boost?
it'll be through Samsung online shop. There should be an option for trade in when you go to the phone page (e.g. S24) then you just go select the model (A04) and follow the instruction.
Go through recent deals posted here for more details and ways to get extra coupons in case you don't know
The deal at the moment through the Samsung members app voucher and the Samsung store 10% first off, A Samsung S24 $700 dollars plus trade including 200 dollars of voucher accessory purchases.
Interesting A05 and A06 are not on the trade in list but A04 does.
Looks like the A04 has been removed from the trade in list now sadly
