Samsung Reviews 

The trade-up deal is a con job. Samsung is having a huge issue understanding the meaning of the word "Second-hand" and expects the customer to provide them a new mobile as a trade-in. It is a joke and a trick to make the customers buy. A little scratch in your mobile will be used as an excuse to reject the trade-in agreed amount. Customers should be very careful with this dirty trick.

Bought a 49 monitor 10 months ago, still under warranty, the jog button fallen apart by clicking it, it is made from very cheap material, and their support refuses to fix it, I had to report them to ACCC, very dodge, when you buy their products always remember it comes with no support, I would never by any thing from them again.

If I could burn Samsung to the ground I would. The unreliability of this phone has literally RUINED my life. I hope every single person who profits from this company gets what is coming to them from the universe. DO NOT EVER BUY A SAMSUNG PHONE. You would be better off with a tin can and a piece of string. The battery will die, no chargers will EVER work, and your life will be RUINED.

Awful company as for communicating with customers or offering help with an issue. Been trying for days now to sign into my account. I received a message stating there was suspicious activity on my account and I needed to contact customer service. OK I did make contact and was instructed to sign into my account. I tried and got the.message "your account is blocked due to suspicious activity contact customer service. OK I did, again and again it's a joke, the company is all robots and they only know so many responses, and solving a real problem is not in their tool bag. So ive waited 5 days now and believe it is time to move on to someone willing to help. Maybe apple or.google. Goodluck folks samsung asks an awful lot of their customers.

​My family and I have been loyal Samsung customers for the last 8 years, purchasing dozens of their devices. However, my recent experience with my Galaxy Z Fold6 (Ticket number: 4437881227) has completely shattered my trust in the brand.
​The internal screen completely blacked out. The outer front screen works perfectly fine and there are absolutely no cracks or damage to the glass anywhere. Despite this, Samsung rejected the warranty repair, claiming "physical damage" solely because of minor scuffs and tiny corner dents from normal, case-less use. They are now demanding an astronomical $950 to repair what is clearly an internal hardware fault.
​To make matters worse, the support process has been an absolute nightmare full of broken promises:
​They misled me by claiming the store could handle a 24 to 48 hour turnaround repair.
​Over the phone, I was told a case manager would call me that same day. It took two full days just to get a call back.
​Now, they are adding an extra three days just to let me pick up the device.
​It is incredibly disheartening to see a premium, expensive device fail, only for Samsung to use normal wear-and-tear as an excuse to avoid honoring their warranty. This is no way to treat warranty.

I ordered a fridge, washing machine and microwave a month ago with a delivery scheduled today with a delivery window from 3pm-6pm. I take the day off work to receive the deliveries, noting that we have been living without a fridge and washing machine for a week now. In the morning I get SMS for the driver could not pick up the fridge without any reason. The items were picked up on other delivery notes. I call Samsung and they say they cannot give us a delivery date and that they logged a ticket which should be attended to in 7-10 working days to get a new delivery date and when we asked if we could cancel the order, they said you could not cancel the order because the status is "Shipped".

For other items, I wait all day at home and then at 5:39 pm, I get the following status: "Due to network delays your ANC delivery professional ran out of legal driving hours to complete your delivery. A representative will contact you to arrange a new delivery date. Apologies for the inconvenience."

Really farcical business and I would not purchase anything from them unless you do not need the items for months. You are better off going to a trusted retailer.

I purchased a Samsung solid state drive recently. It failed within the warranty period. When I contacted Samsung Australia in mid May I was told that they would send me an email and a paid return satchel to assess the drive.

5 weeks later and 5 calls/chats with Samsung Australia later I still have not had any action. Every time I call they promise to follow up in 1-2 business days and every time nothing happens. I believe they are deliberate ignoring consumer law. Purchase Samsung products at your own risk. I will never buy Samsung again.

My Samsung Galaxy A12 has been a decent secondary phone for most things I needed it for, until about a year and a half ago when even simple tasks like playing a Youtube video on 480p became harder as nothing would load 50% of the time. Resetting/restarting the connection, settings and the phone had done nothing. I tried both Chrome and the YouTube app with no other tabs and nothing in the background too.

Recently this had became even worse with network speeds for loading YouTube videos dropping to 10-50KB/s (less than 0.05MB/s of the over 100MB/s that's achievable by other 2.4GHz devices) and network activity only receiving downstream data a couple times every 20-30 seconds resulting in even 144p videos starting and stopping.

The WIFI connection at my home has >100MB/s download speeds and the only device that had ever struggled with such basic network tasks is this old Samsung phone. This includes multiple other devices being able to perform perfectly fine with the same speeds at the 2.4GHz frequency (the A12 being the only connected device does not help with speeds).

Combined with the constant ads popping up as notifications to purchase a new Samsung phone starting not long after the network issues began, if this doesn't suggest intentional throttling, I don't know what does.

Couldn't have gotten better affirmation that choosing a different brand for my main phone was the right choice, I would advise 100% staying away from Samsung or at the very least their phones.

We're very disappointed with how our case has been handled.
Our washing machine is only 10 months old and was working normally until it developed a leak. Samsungs technician inspected it and stated there was a crack and other damage, but no evidence has been provided showing how that damage occurred or proving that it was caused by us. We were told it was "possibly a coin", but that appears to be speculation rather than a confirmed diagnosis. The report says there’s a crack caused by a foreign object but no evidence of the object and no photos of the damage.
We paid $650 for this machine and were quoted approximately $1,200 to repair it, which is clearly unreasonable.
More importantly, we've now been without a working washing machine for around 5 weeks. We have 3 little boys and we’re paying hundreds of dollars in having to use the local laundromat. We have been told that they won’t replace it because it was our fault but out of good will they’ll repair it now, we can’t wait the weeks it will take for it to be fixed. We’re desperate for a working machine and we can’t afford to keep going to the laundromat. We just want a new machine or a refund but Samsungs supervisor in the Philippines hung up and said that that’s the only option because it’s not a manufacturer issue. Extremely disappointed and we’ll never use Samsung again.

I bought a Samsung 65” frame TV 8 month ago, and haven’t been able to purchase a frame for it - not available anywhere in Australia. Sold out and on back order for almost a year. What’s the point of a frame if you can’t get a frame? Don’t buy one, without a frame it’s just a regular tv with no charm.

What an incredibly frustrating experience it is to navigate this website!! So annoying to attempt to BUY something directly from this website. You would think it would be in Samsung's interest to make purchasing something from them easy!! I gave up in the end..

Frame TV solar remote has failed for a 2nd time and will not be covered by warranty. Do n ot get TV with solar remote.

Ordered a 75" QLED 80QNH TV from Samsung during the EOFY sale

Awesome price

Faultless delivery

No issues with the TV

My experience: excellent

Extremely poor experience with Samsung regarding a $2,985 refrigerator (RF59CB67001/SA). This has been one of the most frustrating and poorly handled consumer warranty processes I have dealt with.

Here is the timeline:

01/04/2026 – Fault first reported (freezer not functioning properly).

22/04/2026 – First repair carried out. Ice maker components replaced.

06/05/2026 – Second repair carried out. Major internal components replaced including PCB board, pipe heaters, and ice maker components.

Despite TWO repair attempts and multiple parts being replaced, the refrigerator still failed to function correctly. The freezer issue remained unresolved and food spoilage occurred as a result.

At this point, it was clearly a recurring fault and not a simple repair issue. Under Australian Consumer Law, this meets the threshold of a major failure due to repeated unsuccessful repairs and inability to restore normal operation within a reasonable timeframe.

The customer service experience throughout this process was just as poor as the product itself. Multiple calls to Samsung support were either unanswered or resulted in long delays and inconsistent follow-up. When contact was made, it often involved speaking with overseas call centres, and communication was at times difficult, with information needing to be repeated multiple times across different agents, suggesting poor case management and lack of continuity.

Instead of resolving the matter appropriately, Samsung continued to push repair-based outcomes and provided inconsistent communication throughout the process. I was repeatedly told I would receive follow-ups that never arrived, and had to constantly chase updates on my own case.

At one point, I was incorrectly advised that Samsung was “awaiting my decision,” despite my position already being clearly communicated multiple times: I had rejected further repair attempts and requested a refund.

Due to the ongoing failure of the appliance and the lack of a timely resolution, I was eventually forced to purchase a replacement refrigerator out of necessity while still in dispute. This should never be required for a product at this price point.

The overall handling of this issue has been unacceptable — from product reliability through to after-sales support and case management. For a global brand like Samsung, this level of failure in both product and customer service is extremely disappointing.

Based on this experience, I would strongly advise reconsidering purchasing Samsung appliances.

Difficult customer service. If any issues they will make it as difficult as possible to fix.

I purchased Samsung S26 Ultra online. I used chat to help as original finance option still advertised no longer available. Second option done wrong as a result 24 months interest free period not included. Seemed like a simple fix but it is not.
Even though states on page you can cancel they refused, then claim it's a change of mind. And refund at their discretion. Continued shipping to store where it's checked then shipped back and checked again any damage they will not refund.

I did not change mind just wanted it corrected. They said could not make changes, only option is to cancel and reorder. Even if did decide to cancel it shows your allowed to based on original site.

Have issues getting old Ultra fixed under warranty as well, since update its stuck on off constantly. That's why bought new one.

I recommend avoiding dealing with Samsung Australia directly. Buy from a legit business let them deal with it. Should not be this hard.

Adding to the chorus of negative reviews. Bought an expensive 8K TV which has had 2 major faults in 6 months. In total it has only worked for 3 months. Their own repairer said it's not worth repairing the second time.

Samsung warranty states, and I quote:

We’re not in the business of making defective products, but in some cases manufacturing faults occur.
If your Samsung product is suffering from a major failure, you have the right to choose to have the product repaired, replaced or to receive a refund.
If you have suffered loss or damage because your Samsung product failed to comply with a consumer guarantee, you may be entitled to compensation if it was reasonably foreseeable that you would suffer such loss or damage as a result of such a failure.
Well I'm sorry, it is apparently well known that your 8K TVs overheat and fail, so you ARE in the business of making defective products.
And you flat out refused to offer me a replacement TV. I could only have a repair (are you joking?) or a refund.
As I had a working TV for such a short time, my case manager agreed to compensate me the installation costs if I provided the receipt. When I emailed in the receipt, suddenly I had a new case manager who refused to honour this agreement. I pointed out the compensation clause in their warranty conditions and that a verbal contract is binding. But the case manager just talks over the top of me and hangs up on me.
I still have no money from them after several months. Their aftersales and customer service is completely unprofessional.
If Samsung want to keep customers they need to start treating them with respect.

I love the Samsung quality, but they now force me to create an account on their website before I can use any apps, even the ones I pay for, like Netflix. They have gone too far. They should be taken to court for this. There is no way around for me other than to create an account; this is totally not legal. The whole process of setting up the TV, it is not for ordinary people; the village people won't even have a clue about scanning with a phone. Take them to court, sue them for every penny they got for this, there is no excuse when you have a company this big and that kind of money and understanding your audience.

⭐ Avoid at all costs! Nightmare customer service.I ordered a vacuum cleaner (Order No: AU260601-99534315). The box arrived undamaged, but the critical soft brush attachment was missing. Attempting to get this resolved was a complete nightmare.The Web Chat is a Joke: Wasted an hour online. The AI chat is useless, and when I finally reached humans, I was transferred 5 times. I had to type out the entire story from scratch to every single agent.Abysmal Phone Support: Called the "Service" Centre only to face more endless transfers. They finally told me it would take weeks to sort out and that I should call them back.Zero Accountability: When I asked to speak to a supervisor, get a callback, or get an email confirmation, they flat-out refused.Terrible Website Design: Samsung’s site is purely sales-focused. They intentionally hide any direct contact emails or dedicated after-sales support channels. The staff have zero authority or desire to help.I used to be a massive Samsung fan and owned many of their products. Never again. Their complete lack of after-sales care forced me to dispute the charge with Amex. Avoid this company.

Cancelled our TV order and wouldn’t reinstate, claims to have no stock, yet still sells it as of this very moment on their official website.

I suspect they don’t like we used a friends and family discount and cancelled the order, yet use a lame excuse to cancel.

Have retained all the evidence to complain to the ACCC

I ordered a Samsung phone on-line during a 30% off samsung Special which was not delivered by their courier. The address was correct but the courier returned the phone to Samsung. Samsung refused to resend out the phone and honor the special price. Extremely poor customer service.
