Looks like a good deal for anyone after local stock for the new 2018 models with Android One (excludes the Nokia 8 Scirocco). Ends Sunday 03/06.
Nokia 7 Plus - $551.65 (was $649)
Nokia 6 - $339.15 (was $399)
Nokia 8 Sirocco (2018 flagship)

Yeah shame. I'd jump on the 6 if I could get dual sim
Sadly Nokia views our market as a place to pad margins.
Yup, its stupid but you do get a 2 year Australian warranty too. Shame its a less powerful phone with less storage.
Was just about to post this deal after randomly stumbling on it. Great price! The Nokia 6 is $399 at HN too. At $339 it's only marginally more than grey import (plus postage).

It seems apply to Nokia 8 Sirocco as well
Yea it is.
The sirocco is on special as well
Don't know why, on the JB hi-fi site it says it has a touch screen! Holy moly, why discount something with such an awesome feature.
over 1000？Doubt anyone gonna pay for it.
yea you can get the s9 or the pixel for just a bit more
yeah it (8 Sirocco) needs a big price-correction. though I think the 7 Plus and 6.1 are reasonably priced.
Great price for a local stock.
Looking at both 6.1 and 7+
I'd recommend the one with the bigger battery.
All the Nokia's seem way overpriced for their specs.
Some nokias arent only android 8 but also google treble compliant ….worth the extra
Phones released with android 7 and upgraded to 8 often arent ….android 1 is only part of the roadmap treble is the glue for more than 2 years of updates in Android one
I have been reading up about the Android One and Treble project. Seems like there is some confusion surrounding the Nokia 6.1 2018 model whether it is indeed part of the Treble program.
Sounds like the Chinese TA-1054 version released in that market with Android 7 might not be, but the Global and Euro versions TA-1043/TA-1068 released with Andoid Oreo/8/Android One will be.
Trying to get to the bottom of this but lot's of confusion surrounding this phone,
can someone please confirm 100% that the TA-1068 will support Treble?
Many Nokia phones are Android One which means 2 years of OS updates and 3 years of monthly security updates.
Hardware updates are launching in July: Nokia 2.1, 3.1, and 5.1: Cheap phones with stock Android.
damn here I was looking at the end of financial year sales.
That Nokia 6 is really good value for that price
Does anyone know if the 7 plus is dual Sim? Any genuine reviews around for the camera?
No, the Aus model, is only single sim only.
Yeah if it was dual sim would have grabbed one
If you contact JB, keep in mind the 7+ is in their records system as dual Sim, but when they check the box they confirm it's single Sim only.
Qd Ebay has the 7Plus for $455 atm, if you're not fussed about being an import.
Heads up on their phones, I got a Nokia 5 off them for my mother and it is virtually impossible to upgrade it past 7.1.2.
Was it a unbranded phone (i.e no carrier branding)?
That's all they sell.
"antan" That's bad news. What model number/rom did you get and when did you receive your phone?
Just ordered a Nokia 6.1 2018 TA-1068 last night from them thinking they are a good store selling suitable models for Australia ( already has
Oreo & Android One unlike Chinese version and also better warranty than Chinese stores ).
Not having bootloader unlock and root possibility rules out Nokia for me. It's a shame because the 6.1 is pretty much a perfect midrange phone
Nokia are killing it at the moment. This is what they should have been doing back when they crashed and burned with Windows. Using Android One is also putting down a huge marker to all the other manufacturers because waiting for updates is one of the most frustrating things about Android.
My original Moto Z Play is still kicking along nicely, otherwise I'd be all over that 7+. That 3800 mAh battery!
Upgraded to the 7+ from the Z Play, the 7+ is awesome
what's wrong with having a dual sim?
I think it's more the different model number with different band support/rom as well as not having local charger and warranty, me thinks reading between the lines.
the Nokia 3310 is on sale too ;))
Damn, i was forced to buy a new phone the other week (iPhone 6 wouldn't turn on), after half an hour research, i decided on Nokia 6.1 (wanted cheap android with NFC).
It's not too bad
Unfortunately I could only get a 32gb version (why even make such a low storage phone these days), so had to get a 64gig sd card as well.
My main disappointment coming from nearly 8 years with iPhones isn't with the Nokia, it's Googles complete apathy for people who want photos on the TV but not airplay/cast them (a google photos viewer app or apple tv/android tv would be great), my girls like watching looking at photos but i don't want to dedicate my phone to them to do so.
Even for the $400 i paid, i am quite happy and if it lasts me 2 years i can get a new phone at same price point and still be better off than new iPhone every 4 years.
Edit: nvm I misread your comment
7 plus is a great all round phone, highly recommend. Not really any major negatives unless you're nitpicking.
The only disappointment for me is probably the battery. Not that it's bad or anything, I just expected more out of a 3800mah battery. It still has far better battery life than the vast majority of phones though, so it's hard to call it a negative.
I find Nokia more and more a very compelling Android phone compared to Samsung and LG.
I know right. Who wants to deal with the bloatware and ugly skins that Samsung and LG throw on top of Android?
I have been a Motorola fan for a while because of their clean Android versions. Seriously considering moving to Nokia once my Moto Z Play is dead.
I miss my Nexus phones…
Can't wait to receive my 7 plus tomorrow (bought for $549 shipped from Kogan), kind of wished I waited a week so I could get Australian stock for the same price but I'm not too bothered
man would have love to buy this but the wife wouldn't let me and its not dual sim and if it only had a more megapixels and and further $700 off would have got me there. But like i was saying… would have pulled the trigger otherwise… damn
Thanks for letting us know.
Currently weighing up the Nokia 7+ versus Pixel 2. My primary concerns are a phone that will last me for 2+ years, so the Pixel 2 is appealing with it's long software support & Google's apparently good customer service.
Any thoughts?
Pixel 2:
+ Photo Quality
+ 3 years of updates.
+ Delightful battery life.
+ Fast.
Nokia 7+:
+ Headphone Jack!
+ Cheaper
Nokia gets 2 years of updates and the Pixel is already 8 months older, so I suppose the difference is only effectively a few months as far as guaranteed updates.
I think Nokia 7 would beat it on Battery life as well.
Nokia seems to be committing to software updates pretty well, they announced recently that all their Android phones will get Android P when it comes out later this year, which includes the 2017 models of the 6 and that which shipped on Android 7 (Nougat), plus I believe they've been pushing out the security updates on a decent schedule
Got the 7+ for $580 2 weeks ago damn
Thanks OP, perfect timing - tax write off and claim GST for the business.
Does anyone know 32 GB is it enough for system and apps?
Planning to buy nokia 6.1, but haven't been using android for long long time
thank you
Probably +-20GB free to use, so up to your own needs.
Got the 6.1 today. Staff didn't even know the promo was on and had a $449 catalogue tag on it.
Combined with Youi 6.5% vouchers got it for $319.
Is the Nokia 6.1 dual SIM? Edit: Rang JB HiFi and answer is single SIM.
For those interested Nokia 6.1 Dual SIM for $346
Eligible Amex CC holders can price match with JB at HN and get an extra $50 off.
Why doesn't the JBHF website show the supported frequency bands? I need to know if the 6.1 is wholly compatible with Telstra and Vodafone's 4G networks.
Only the imported models have dual SIM.
(If you are buying one phone for each network, please disregard this comment)
Why do the AU versions get the lesser models? I would like to buy local but I can get both models online cheaper and with better specs.
I picked a 6.1 up today. I was expecting it to come with a USB-C wall charger, but it comes with a USB-A one and a USB-A to C cable.
Darn it, was looking for the 64GB variant and don't really want the Dual SIM variant from HK. Looks like no one has AU stock of 4/64GB
