    Glad to see it on Optus & Vodafone. Looking forward to seeing the plans.

  • I wonder where I'll be able to buy it cheapest ASAP…

    I guess the days are gone where the Google devices were the reasonable priced alternative to the overpriced Apple offerings…

      There are still cheap Android phones around of course, but the top tier vendors have worked out it's more worth their effort (profit margin in percentage terms) to make phones from higher end components.

      Google wants to be seen a top tier vendor. Hence it uses the best in class camera sensor to go with its own best in class software. That's how the Pixel has achieved its reputation as the best smartphone camera around.

      Using a term like "overpriced" implies you think such vendors are ripping you off. Perhaps. But that's what those components cost. Cutting edge technology has always and will always cost more.

      • Very good point

    Jb hifi preorder lists pixel 3 128gb (not pink) 1199 instead of 1349. Not a bad discount $150

    Not sure how long it will last before they realise the error..

    • Cheers! Looks like the other colours are at the same price as well…

      They fixed it :(

        I wonder if they would have cancelled the order for people who placed it…

    Been waiting for this.. unsure on the 3 or 3XL.
    I'm still using the OG Pixel, and have always hesitated big phones. Also not sure how I feel about the knotch? I think I'm talking myself into the 3.

    I am glad however, that there are no tech differences between the 2 models, even battery size appears to be the same? Obviously only diff being screen and physical size.

    Now here's to hoping JB or another reseller offer a deal at launch for outright :-)

    • Battery size is different -
      Pixel 3: 2915 mAh battery
      Pixel 3 XL: 3430 mAh battery

        Thanks for pointing that out! Must've read it differently somewhere..

        I think I'm leaning towards the 3 and not the XL.. the knotch is killing me haha.

          That k is killing me too.

            @aeoz: Sorry, knot able to edit it now.

  • Interesting that Google decides to have 2 different screen designs for the 3 and 3XL (with top notch like iPhones), would the $250/$500 Telstra port in offer still be valid when this comes out?

  • Now that the pixel 3 is out, would you go back and buy an OG pixel for a family member that is not a huge techy, but likes having the options?

      Yeah my OG Pixel is running very well still — would definitely recommend it
