doh, i just recontracted on a sim only 80gb for $41.25 deal …..i could have learnt to live with less data and gotten an iphone for a few dollars more :-(

but then who wants 24 math lock in with 5g models coming out this year.

  And how long is it going to be before a widespread 5g network comes out in Australia?

    Telstra are initially getting exclusive access to the 5G handsets from some of the big manufacturers and Apple said they in no rush to produce a 5G phone so I wouldn’t worry too much about that.
    - KARMAAA on 14/01/2019 - 13:59
      
      Yes but that’s not widespread. It’ll be confined to the CBD mostly in terms of coverage for a while.
- Trishool on 14/01/2019 - 08:34
  
  How much more expensive is 5G is going to be compared to is yet to be seen. For early adopters is not going to be cheap.
  - pgdownload on 14/01/2019 - 08:53
    
    It won't be much different. For mobiles 5g will involve costly handset and have sporadic 5g reception. Most don't need more than 100gb on a mobile. 5g initially will probably target mobile broadband used in homes instead of NBN.
    - Trishool on 14/01/2019 - 12:24
      
      I'm just thinking back to when 4G was introduced, from what I remember, most telco's were charging a premium to be on 4G, and the price difference wasn't minimal either. I dont expect the introduction of 5G to be any different. Higher speeds and being only a limited number of people on that network will invoke a premium without a doubt.
- pgdownload on 14/01/2019 - 08:48
  
  That's why Optus are going big on data and offers right now. Lock in customers until Optus is able to provide a 5g service

  Do not fall for the 5g marketing crap. It will not be commonplace until 2025 I reckon. The tech needs to be saturated around town for anyone to get any real world use of it.

Is the Pixel 3 XL still a disappointment?

Some reviews show the Huawei Mate 20 Pro is the top camera phone now?

MKBHD Just dropped the Pixel 3 XL as his daily driver in favor of the Mate 20 Pro.

- Letrico on 14/01/2019 - 08:33

  Mate 20 pro have the better camera and more processing power for the pictures because of the Kirin 980 which is currently more powerful than pixel 3's Snapdragon 845.
  
  But pixel 3's picture software processing is no joke. Even with a weaker CPU, the pictures still come out amazing. But that is the only good point along with having pure android.

    Hey, have had the Pixel 3 since December and have had no issues with it. I keep seeing the same arguments online about which phone is better and a lot of bad reviews on the Pixel 3 but at the end of the day the apps I use aren't made by Google like Messenger and Instagram so as long as the phone isnt slow I really don't have any issues. If you are someone who is in the Apple ecosystem then stick to Apple but if not Google, Samsung, and Huawei all make great phones.
    
    bottom line is that picking a phone is a personal choice based on what YOU need it for and YOUR lifestyle. So just go with that and I doubt you will make the wrong choice.
    
    Hope this somewhat helps to making a decision :)

  I remember him dropping pixel 3 XL for one plus 6T and he had mate 20 pro while shooting what's inside my bag with Verge only because it was on review period, at least that's what I believe. But mate if it's for camera, pixel 3/ XL is unbeatable till this point.

  Pixel 3XL owner here, switched from Samsung Galaxy Note 8 in November 2018.
  
  I've owned the phone for 3 months now and it's been fantastic so far. My only real complaint is that the battery life is pretty crappy, but just enough to get you through the day with heavy use.
  
  I bought a pixel stand, which is the wireless charger dock, and that's been a real game changer too. It's like having a Google home, a photo slideshow frame and an alarm clock all in one. Quite expensive, but it's really enhanced the phone experience for me.
  
  The notch really isn't as bad as people make it out to be. I stopped noticing it after the first day I got my phone.
  
  I would recommend the Pixel 3XL any day of the week, it's a fantastic phone.
  - [Deactivated] on 14/01/2019 - 09:53
    
    May I ask about the Google Pixel stand? How do you configure the settings? Mine currently is just used as a wireless charger for end of nights.. and it drives me insane with its 'always on' display. Admittedly I haven't tried changing anything. Felt the only way to make changes to its settings is to do it while the phone is docked (felt awkward).
    - Isho on 14/01/2019 - 09:58

      Settings > Connected devices/previously connected devices > pixel stand > then choose screen off when dark. That should do the trick. You can also change all other settings for the stand there.
  - iknowtj on 14/01/2019 - 12:09
    
    Great summary - also have one, camera is hands down better than the mate 20 pro, battery life is meh but I am yet to find a situation where I have had to be desperately managing use.
- incipient on 14/01/2019 - 10:34
  
  I'd personally take the pixel as I prefer the clean Android and frequent updates, and I somewhat don't like the Chinese government spying on me =p
  
  The wide angle selfie seems like a good idea for those that take selfies.
  
  The biggest annoyance for me is the lack of lossless zoom…but honestly I never zoom in on a phone anyway (possibly because I can't currently?)

  It was a painful moment with my Vodafone contract with iPhone 6s Plus 64Gb $98/3Gb for my miss since Oct 2015.
  Remember I was a nerd that time, so Vodafone is a big NO for me (forever).
Fancydancer on 14/01/2019 - 07:07

8 Plus is $5 more a month than last years offer but with 10gb more data.
- OrangeBJ on 14/01/2019 - 13:29
  
  10Gb data (more) is normal for the recent development of 4G. So basically, $5 more (expensive)

- DarkOz on 14/01/2019 - 08:04

  It was last night I checked. It was one of those special offers so I guess it just ended.
  
  But $75 for the Mate20 Pro 128Gb is not bad if you can put up with 4Gb or data or data pool it with another Optus service. $1,800 less the phone cost of around $1,500 you end up with $12.50/month for the plan.
  - Xenocaust on 14/01/2019 - 13:44
    
    But $75 for the Mate20 Pro 128Gb is not bad
    
    It's $74 on this plan for 30Gb of data, and if the HN 10% discount applies that makes it $66.60/month.
    - DarkOz on 14/01/2019 - 15:26
      
      Yes you are right cos i missed the special extra data for $1 less and also a freebud. Will be dropping by the Optus store tomorrow and hope to get a couple of things confirmed before we add this to the bundle.
      
      We need to data share or include the entertainment extras. Do you know if HN can do those?

        @DarkOz: Afraid I don't.
        
        Though I think that's all part of the basic Optus service.
        
        I'll be trying to get to a store tomorrow if I decide the Mate 20 Pro is in budget.
