It is not as good as the last deal. Maybe we could ask them to match the previous price.

        I've got the Nokia 8… Great phone, although the camera leaves alot to be desired.

        • dealspider on 02/08/2018 - 12:52

          This is the only reason that kept me from buying a Nokia Phone. I was looking at Nokia 7 Plus and Sirocco. I tried both at the shops. My old Nexus 6P still takes better photos than any of the Nokia (Android One) Phones.

        • Samsungnote10 on 02/08/2018 - 13:27

          Former Nokia fan boy here.

          I remeber the good old days when Nokia's cameras were always 1 generation ahead of Apple.

          I tried and tried to hold onto Nokia for a while even after they changed to Windows…

    • tiramisu023 on 02/08/2018 - 11:29

      The phone doesn't even come with headphones!! I find that very strange… They might throw in some headphones with promos, but it's on in the box.

        They include headphones in a separate box…

        Do you mean the missing headphone jack?

    • Bigboomboom on 02/08/2018 - 13:01

      Then buy the smaller non XL. Hardware wise it's identical except for battery and screen.

    • KLoNe on 02/08/2018 - 13:38

      This. Pixel 2 XL is an absolute joke at this price.

    Probably other better buys currently. OP6, etc

    • dealspider on 02/08/2018 - 10:24

      Depends, if someone wants a solid device, excellent camera, clean android, frequent updates and of course excellent after-sale service; you can't go pass Google Pixel range. Google's warranty service has been excellent.

      • onlinepred on 02/08/2018 - 12:53

        The OP6 is more solid than the P2XL. Quality is much better, Pixels have been a pretty big let down for me. In 2 years I have had 5 RMAs

          So that's your reason to neg the deal? I am not sure where you bought your phone from. But if you had bought it from an Authorised dealer, Google will replace the phone. They even send a new phone to you before they pick up your faulty one.

        • dzhay on 02/08/2018 - 13:32

          @dealspider: Point remains that there have been massive QC issues with the pixel 2.

          I have the OP6, my wife has the pixel 2xl. The OP6 is better at everything, with the possible exception of the camera, which is still very good.

        • dealspider on 02/08/2018 - 13:47

          @dzhay: True, re the QC issues. Few of my friends got Pixel 2 and XL. None of them have these so-called issues.

          I personally love the OP6. 2 reasons holding me back are Camera and Warranty. Imagine you had to send the OP6 back for warranty, you are left with no phone? Also for some people, camera is a dealbreaker.

    After watching Zack's durability test on the Pixel 2 and XL, i know i won't buy it for myself
    https://youtu.be/Me5xFSCnyNw

    For such a pricy phone, it looks and feels plasticky.
    Glad i went with Note 8, tho finding a screen protector for it is a real PITA

    Its been updated three times since I bought in January. Bought from Officeworks so after sales should go fine, the Android is clean enough, camera good enough, and i dont need unli cloud storage.

    • dealspider on 02/08/2018 - 10:36

      Seriously? who would abuse a phone in day-to-day use like Zack? I have seen his previous videos about other phones. Maybe you need a phone made of concrete… I am sure Zack will still be able to break it with a jack hammer :)

          no Samsung Pay

          I am confused now. This is a Google product. Why would they implement "Samsung Pay" when they have Google Pay?

          @dealspider:
          Some cards support Sam Pay' others only Google Pay. Can have both on Note8

          Handy to have an alternative when there is an offer for mobile payment eg Amex ones where you spend X and get cashback

        • brotherfranciz on 02/08/2018 - 13:11

          My phone is in a cheap but durable plastic case - I have accidentally dropped the phone from about a metre on a handful of occasions and not a single scratch or scrape or dent.

          Function over form any day of the week.

        • KLoNe on 02/08/2018 - 13:39

          Apart from the Samsung Pay goof up, I completely agree. Google design team are shit.

    Don't know how this is 350 savings. Google store has it for 1398.

    So savings really is 199.

    Ihave a Google pixel 5 inch first version. While it's a great experience to use the stock android, the phone itself is not a top end phone by any standards. Won't buy any pixel phone unless they change the manufacturer from htc

    • bennythejet on 02/08/2018 - 10:46

      I'm considering the OG Pixel from this deal for my wife. She's coming from an iPhone 5s so it'll be an upgrade regardless. Main attraction for her is the camera. Not concerned about having 'the latest' model. I am aware that it's EOL as of October 2018. Any thoughts?

      • Muneerca on 02/08/2018 - 10:57
        +1

        For that price it's a great phone. No doubt this OG pixel is a great phone, but I was so concerned about the price. For 405 you won't get a better Phone than this.go for it .

      • dealspider on 02/08/2018 - 11:00

        Absolutely go for it. This is an excellent phone with a superb camera.

      • Bigboomboom on 02/08/2018 - 13:03
        +1

        Yes go for it. My niece has one and it's amazing (camera wise). For $405 there is nothing on the market that could compare camera wise. Cheapest would be $640 on sale (Samsung S8 64GB a couple of weeks ago). This put shame to say Oppo R series which is comparable in prices and have terrible camera (but they have BIG MEGAPIXEL, because average customers don't understand MP doesn't make phone great alone).

      • bennythejet on 02/08/2018 - 16:23

        Thanks for the comments guys. Pulled the trigger and purchased one. Hopefully it all works out well.

    If you're thinking about getting this, make sure you test one in store first to hear the speakerphone quality. It's extremely poor and might not be suitable for what you need.

    Makes me realize how insane the $49/month Telstra GP2XL deal was (15GB per month, can be 25GB for some lucky people).

    That totals to $1176 for 24 months, crazy.

      Yeah totally! I didn't see that deal until too late and missed out. :(

    • tiramisu023 on 02/08/2018 - 11:31

      $49/month?! From JB or Telstra directly?

      • Zaenille on 02/08/2018 - 11:35

        Publicized as $59/month here: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/363865

        You also got headphones and a Google Home Mini.

        You were able to get -$10 off the contract price and +5GB (or 10GB for some lucky ones) if you contacted Telstra chat.

        Both from JB and Telstra. It's been long gone though.

    These days, the mid-tiered phones are good enough (it's what the old Nexus and One Plus were).

    • dealspider on 02/08/2018 - 12:22

      Pretty much. Except in the Camera department and of course warranty. Pixel Phones still hold the Winner in Camera reviews.

      • onlinepred on 02/08/2018 - 12:56

        Only if you don't value zoom etc. It's already been beat in low light, zoom, wide angle, HDR, but overall it's the best without zoom. Everything else it looses out on.

        • onlinepred on 02/08/2018 - 22:02

          @Trishool: s9+ was able to achieve better extreme low light than pixel, almost as good in daylight, it actual has optical zoom which smashed the pixels digital zoom.

          Either way, they are mostly all the same these days.

    I feel like this is a rip off for a nearly year old phone when the new one will be out in a few months at almost the same price.

    Given how many issues there are in the P2XL, and all the previous great deals, and the timing of the deal = this is not a good price

    • pennypincher98 on 02/08/2018 - 13:01

      Funny how people always mention all these "issues" that occur whenever a Pixel 2 or XL gets posted.

      What percentage of phones are actually affected though? There's plenty of people I know who signed up on the Telstra deal (including me) and none of us have had any issues with them. The only thing I had was a crashing camera app (and a quick restart got that sorted).

      I agree the price is a lot to ask for a phone that's almost a year old, but as for the device itself I have no complaints. Would never spend this much on a phone, but when the plan was included it sweetened considerably.

      • onlinepred on 02/08/2018 - 14:13

        Have they actually paid attention though? My wifes phone has massive speaker rattle, but she doesn't care. I noticed it straight away.

        I'm either very unlucky, or a good indicator. I have had 5 pixels, none were major fault free in my opinion. Random reboots of death, mic not working, speaker rattle, yellow screen, battery die at 40%.

        I have never had any issues with any phone I have owned in the last 6 years, until I bought a pixel.

        I paid full price for the OG Pixel XL, and it was not worth it at all, its a very basic phone with no real features except a good camera. P2XL adds a little more to that, but still isn't worth full price or even close to full price given the quality. See big name reviewers mentioning slow down/lag/issues too - more recently MKBHD.

        • pennypincher98 on 02/08/2018 - 14:21

          I can pick up faults in my devices - the HTC One M8 sure had its share.
          A yellow screen is weird, most of the complaints have been a blue screen.

          The battery life is probably the best thing about this device.

        • onlinepred on 02/08/2018 - 14:55

          @pennypincher98: And at the time, it was cheaper than the other flagships.

        • pennypincher98 on 02/08/2018 - 15:24

          @OnlinePred: at that time ALL the flagships were cheaper. It was still not exactly the best decision I've made, needed to use my phone for a lot of things but would heat up so quickly and its metal back didn't help matters. I used to say it was "too hot to handle" as a humorous way to make light of it

        • onlinepred on 02/08/2018 - 15:38

          @pennypincher98: Galaxy S5 was $929 16gb, M8 was $899 32gb. But on plans the HTC was cheaper by at least $10 a month. That's why so many people had one.

          Was a great phone initially. Miss HTC - but their build quality was worse than Googles.

        • pennypincher98 on 02/08/2018 - 15:42

          @OnlinePred: their build quality was one of the best in my opinion. A solid one piece of metal. It was just a shame that the software + hardware didn't complement each other.

          Initially? Sure maybe straight away but it had a plague of problems from a few months in and then it just escalated from there.

      Would you like to share a better deal than this at the moment? What I don't understand here is people neg deals based on their "feelings" rather than providing a better deal.

      • Bigboomboom on 02/08/2018 - 13:19

        It was I believe $1099 by JB Hi-fi in June for couple weeks. Pixel 2 128GB was $899 but that sold out quickly (notice there's none in stock).

          Yes was. It's the past. This deal is about now. If anyone has a better deal to share then they should post it, rather than keep referring back to deals that are no longer available.

      • onlinepred on 02/08/2018 - 14:15

        If you need this phone in particular right now, then no there is no better deal. My mate got the P2XL on $59 telstra plan 2 days ago just by pushing them, so perhaps you could try that.

        Given how many deals we get for this phone, it would seem very non-ozb to get it on this deal right now.

    Over $1000 for a run out phone? That's no bargain! Imo the pixel xl makes much better sense now. Plenty rated 'excellent' on eBay 128gb for around $400. 95% of pixel 2 functionality for less than half the price.

    • pennypincher98 on 04/08/2018 - 14:37

      What makes more sense is waiting for the 3XL and then getting the 2XL imo.
