Hi all,
Huawei Mobileciti is running another promotion on P30 series. With every P30 or P30 Pro purchase, you can get a Bonus Huawei Photo Printer (valued at $199).
Offer available 04/07/2019 to 12/07/2019.
For those, who haven't heard this latest update yet, the US trade bans on Huawei has been reversed (source: 9News)
As usual - AU stock, GST tax invoice with ABN, TRS if eligible, Huawei Australia warranty.
Looks to be about $1 per photo:

Not too bad considering you don't need to mess about with ink cartridges (they're like polaroids in that the "ink" is in the paper, not the printer)
Any trade deals??
Cheaper with current 20% off eBay deal.
Links please?
I've heard all restrictions will be lifted off soon. B
it is temporarily lifted for certain products - it is not permanent and google service is still to be decided …
They never had restrictions mate.
It's all about trade war, to make people, like musai, think Huawei is dead
It is complicated and, like everything involving Trump; it varies from day to day. The consensus is the current stuff should be OK but the future stuff is a tad more uncertain. If Chinese brands decide to go their own way then, although it might be rough for them short term, it might mean western based services may lose out in the long run; particularly if China gets in a huff and restricts access to their market. I think someone will make a large donation to the GOP, or Trump, and it will all dissipate.
I think it will fix itself. Trump right now wants to look tough by claiming he's happy with the situation as it stands and raking in money from tariffs. He's claiming the chinese are the ones desperate for a deal. They are not. The chinese are willing to face short term pain for long term gain. If they have to wait out the Trump administration, they will.
There will ultimately be a deal because Trump needs to get re-elected next year and he will stitch up a deal just before then to boost his popularity. But the timing has to be right.
His style is to manufacture a crisis, and then fix the crisis he himself created, and then claim he solved a major problem.
If he doesn't get a trade deal by election time, he's going to give more concessions or accept fewer concessions from china because if there's no deal, I think he's gone. China is playing the patient game because they don't have to worry about re-election. Huawei is just Trump's bargaining chip.
Huawei's suppliers have found legal loopholes in getting supply to them, by routing to other companies and countries.
At the end of the day, Trump talks tough but he's going to have to cave. The key is to not look bad while doing it. He has to spin it into a win, and so does Xi.
Should be free thanks to Trump
He's doing us all a favour - we're going to thank him one day soon
Speak for yourself kiddo.
still waiting for the pro to go under $1k …..guess have to wait bit longer
And then mate 30 will be out, why not wait for it? The real Huawei flagship line
Maaaaaate
Ur rite, lets be mate 30
I have seen the single sim and 128GB version of the P30 pro go under 1000. Was it a good deal?
Returned mine to Three Sons (Seller's name) as it was repacked as brand new and it had like messages in other languages.
I got mine from the same place - what do you mean messages in other languages?
As in the phone didn't boot as new?
@Rainytadpole: The phone wasnt brand new. Checked imei and warranty activated before and whilst i was testing the phone I had saved message that I couldnt understand. Also google had search history. I havent even login or put sim card in.
Good price but too late for me, I already bought mine :)
Amazed how many people don't use shopper's protection.
You mean from 28 Degrees?
yes
Not sure why anyone would drop over $1000 on something so uncertain. There’s no guarantee that five eyes countries won’t just turn around one day and ban these things like they’ve done for their 5G hardware.
Lol, anyone who knows what's up knows that there is NOTHING uncertain, Huawei will operate normally, as always.
It's all about Tramp wanting to hurt the company's image and make people like you hesitate and never buy Huawei.
You people need to be smarter than that
Lol, is this a joke?
they have better cameras, better battery life, better design. more cameras, faster charging and better operating system. They literally have the best android phones, its not even close
I'd get a Huawei before an iphone, all day any day
@nikoris: Funny where they've gotten to, first smart phone I got my mum was a Huawei, she then evolved to htc etc…but recently saw the prices of Huawei phones and said wow what's happening..I thought they were budget brand.
I get where your coming from Ive evolved from Windows based pda phones to iPhone n then androids since iPhone 4 but I still balk at these prices specially for what used to be budget brands…. I use a Samsung note 8 moved on from htc but I got that on a HN special with amex cash back…and at $898 that was the most I'd ever paid since the $1000 pda phones of decades ago loll….
Correction note 8 is the most I ever paid…the phone pdas were funded by work lolll
@scud70: Did you know Samsung used to make low quality low priced electronics goods? They were not a respected brand. Sony was. Now they're the #1 electronics manufacturer by a big margin. And Sony has taken a big tumble.
@lostn: yes sir im old so i def know, and apart from the phone i dont own a single other samsung product… lol i needed to get rid of my M9 asap and that deal was the best at the time so i went for it… will i buy sammy tvs, fridges or washers now? … not really.. i will always seek best in the field (i.e. i chose mitsubishi electric fridge over sammy's ones) .. but in the phone scene id def consider a sammy for my next phone but im savvy enough (being in IT and loving gadgets all my life) to not be bound to a brand… if next best value for money is an huawei then i'll go for it but as it stands with the current phone prices i will hold on to my note 8 for as long as possible.. hehehe
@scud70: Mate 20 pro is way better than your note 8.
That being said, once upon a time Apple's logo was "Does more, costs less"
Time's change and you are judging huawei because five years ago they made cheaper products.
They leading the industry in 5g (Tramp dont go after her for no reason) and their phones innovate in many ways.
Samsung phones still lag and stutter. Not as bad as before but they aint as smooth as other flagships
@nikoris: Mine seems fine..no lag as far as I can tell… and not judging anything…will always go for bang for buck.. Just reminiscing where Huawei started in aus … and at the time note 8 was released it was one of the best phones out :) that was long ago in phone years loll
They can't confiscate your phone.
I agree. Huawei at $1200 is a joke. Not even Samsung can get away with it.
Price still showing up as $999 for me after following the link, is there a code or something?
Yes, apply code "PRETZEL" at the checkout to get the discounted price
Thanks mate, purchased yesterday! When I ordered, said eta was Wednesday the 8th, now saying Thursday the 18th, know anything about this (assuming you’re affiliated)?
Bummer you didn't score the free speaker! I do wonder if mobileciti asked for directions from Huawei and were told to keep it as you were instructed… Interesting to see how these bonus stuff complicate things…
Sounds like you're the scammer devize.
Its pretty standard policy to send back the free item received with a purchase of another item.
I didn't receive it with the item. I redeemed it through Huawei, contacted Huawei to send it back to THEM and they said I don't need to send it back. Mobileciti didn't have anything to do with it. Like I said, happy to send it back but not for the profit of a company that had nothing to do with it.
PayPal and eBay agreed with me. Call me what you like.
Hmm.
I'm in two minds about your situation. If you refund an item due to change of mind, the freebie that came with it you are not actually entitled to. Otherwise everyone would just take up the offer, get the freebie then "change their mind" and get a refund on the paid product. If the phone is in used condition, be happy they're willing to refund you at all, because they can't sell it as new anymore.
But if Huawei is the one that paid for the freebie and not the seller and said it was ok, the seller shouldn't have made a big deal out of it.
Agreed. That's why I contacted Huawei to return it who I assume would have contacted Mobileciti to confirm it had been returned.
However, Huawei provided the speaker and when I contacted them they said I can keep it. Why should I return it to Mobileciti if they didn't provide it?
Been around long enough to know there’s two sides to every story. I can guarantee Mobileciti is not in the business of scamming anyone over the cost of a speaker.
I can guarantee you they are.
Ergh, be gone already.
Changed your mind over a short term who-cares concern. Just return all to mobileciti & get the refund. Non-problem solved.
If they were like you say, they'd drag you through the mud, for being pointlessly difficult.
I agree they aren't scamming anyone.
But at the same time, if he's already opened and used the speaker, I don't know what good it's going to do for mobileciti. They aren't going to sell it, and if it came from Huawei's coffers, they didn't lose anything either.
I don't think he should have been able to keep it, but if Huawei gave him the ok to keep it, MC should have accepted it.
I really like the p30, but I cant think of any use for the free photo printer, if they do a different gift like a watch or better wireless bud I think I might just buy it without 2nd thought.
Can we opt not to have the gift and take a further 199 off the price OP?
highly unlikely.
The gift is from Huawei not MC.
Prefer to have the ear phones they offer last time and not this wireless printer.
… Hence why they're giving this away.
I want to buy a HuaWei phone but I'm worried that I won't be able to use play store as google as blocked HuaWei's access to it.
It's been said again and again that it won't impact existing devices. And with the partial lifting of the ban future devices are most likely not going to be affected as well. I've got many friends on Huawei phones and none of them had any issues since the so-called "ban" whatsoever.
I can attest to xiabonans comment. I have a p30 and it's been awesome for me. Switched from Samsung too due to a great Huawei deal at the time. I've had no issues with it whatsoever, and the fact that the "Trump ban" has been lifted only gives me more confidence that no restrictions will come into play. my 5 cents
google still ban them right?
From what I can gather support will continue until, at least, August for existing devices, happy to be corrected.
Google still impossible to operate without someone holding your hand?
Did I miss anything i can't find the RAM specification. Does p30/pro only have the 6G RAM model?
Is this like the Polaroids where 10 photos costs you like $40 or do you buy ink and use regular photo paper?
