Been waiting for this phone to get back under $500 but washing machine died yesterday so will pass this up but in case it is of interest for others.

Stocked at officeworks so could go for a price match and get it even cheaper.

    Welcome to OzB OP!

    Great initiative, but it has been as low as $434 before so don't really see a deal here. Hope you get a better bargain for your washing machine.

      Are we going to compare all deals to their record low prices?

      $434 Was the seller having it on sale and eBay coupon at the same time which rarely happen.

        Granted above link was the record low price, but this phone has been cheaper from other retailers previously. Source The comment was more of a forewarning for potential buyers to help make a informed decision.

        I once stacked a good guys sale on a fetch box with a ebay 20% off with a ebay i think Germany 10% off gift cards. All sales going at one time lol

      Yep I reckon it is a good deal considering I know two people who have bought these phones for $550 last week. One was me for the wife. Well done OP

    • Trishool on 30/01/2020 - 13:37

      If its the lowest price now, then that's the deal. You can wait for another similar deal for $434 which may or may never come.

        Also for some people using Zip or Afterpay is also a benefit in this case through Big W here.

    I've been meaning to ask for all these A series phones why get them over the S series?

    S8 can be had for about $400 now and S9 for $550. Wouldn't it be better to just get one of those?

    • Bigboomboom on 30/01/2020 - 10:04
      +1

      If you want update, this will get Android 11 whereas S8 is stuck with 9 and S9 is stuck with 10.

    • Smokey010 on 30/01/2020 - 10:04
      +2

      S8 will be stuck with Android Pie 9 now with no further major OS upgrade. A70 already comes with Android 9 so you will get 2 more major OS upgrades. Plus A70 looks good with 2 GB more RAM than S8 or S9, double in size of internal storage, 25W fast charging bigger battery and Camera maybe? A70 is actually one of great mid range phone.

      Also, fingerprint scanner position - the A Series is under the screen, not at the rear.

          Nah, under screen is so much better. I don't want to pick up my phone off my desk every time I want to unlock it and check something.

      • Smokey010 on 30/01/2020 - 10:14

        Yeah A70 and A50 has in-display scanner but OzB favourite A20 and A30 still has the rear scanner.

    Bought if for $427 two months ago from Jbhifi. Please note Australian stock is not Dual sim. I needed a dual sim but got stuck with my purchase.

    By the way $498 is not a bargain by any means.

    • he88388 on 30/01/2020 - 10:38

      Was it advertised at $427 from JB when you got yours?
      Or was it price beat from another shop?

      • ShinyDiamond on 30/01/2020 - 12:30

        AusPost had it for around $450 and Jbhifi price beat that

    • f23lda on 30/01/2020 - 13:57

      The price for the A70 and everywhere else was $600 last week for true australian model.

      I know, because I bought it at that price.

      (with a 28 degrees card, of course).

      Thanks googleyahoo69 that is uncanny. It is the exact model I ended up with. Got it from here though https://www.appliancesonline.com.au/product/bosch-7-5kg-fron… using the AUSSIE2020 code to knock a further $20 off came to $649.

        It's 619 on their eBay page. Can't post the link for some reason, but it's the first result if you search Bosch 7.5 front loader

          Paid $800 for our one less $200 cashback 2 yrs ago.

    You can use gift card to purchase so that's 5% off as well. No need to price match at office work.

    how is A70 compared to OzB favourite v30+ ?

    • gladbear on 30/01/2020 - 11:04

      Also keen on hearing opinions on this. Have a $500 budget to replace my smashed S8. Any other recommendations welcome.

      • edrift on 30/01/2020 - 11:17

        How about the Oppo reno Z for $406 via good guys commercial?

        Only negative is that it lacks waterproofing

      • jackwilk on 30/01/2020 - 11:19

        I've been using v30+ for close to a year now. Great phone, but it has some small annoying gimmicks that make me look around for alternatives. Eg:
        curved screen not such a good idea, hard to get decent screen protector
        callers can't hear me from time to time - apparently there is a few seconds silence
        sometimes screen does not respond, you need to lock it then unlock

        Could be just my unit and these are no dramas, but slightly painful in everyday use.

        To balance it, v30+ has some great things going for it too :)

        • Caped Baldy on 30/01/2020 - 11:54

          I had an okay one with a black bezel so the curved gaps don't appear but it's cracked due to sitting too close to my case. Bit annoying to lock when it's on a table as well.

        • ozhunter68 on 30/01/2020 - 14:33

          Just wondering if your on Oreo or Pie?

          • jackwilk on 30/01/2020 - 19:16

            @ozhunter68: Pie

            • ozhunter68 on 30/01/2020 - 21:28

              @jackwilk: Sounds like that could get annoying having to unlock and lock just to unlock phone,

              might wear out the power button too. Have you done a factory re set after the Pie update?

              • jackwilk on 31/01/2020 - 08:15

                @ozhunter68: Nah I can live with it, too much hassle to reinstall everything. Other than those small issues it's a great phone.

    • edrift on 30/01/2020 - 11:18

      Worse. Interior CPU, no quad DAC, no waterproof and mil spec, cost more

      • bajirao on 30/01/2020 - 11:29
        +1

        Isn't v30+ dual SIM? That might work for some.
        A70 screen seems to be better than v30+ and also 2 GB more RAM in A70. But then it all boils down to which phone does better memory management.

      • [Deactivated] on 30/01/2020 - 21:28

        Aren't both CPUs interior?

    been using this since December from the previous $434 deal coming from a Note 8 which had deteriorated battery life.

    Great phone with excellent battery life
    screen fingerprint is nice but not as fast

    The A71 was announced at CES so you should see this version drop a lot more

  • Dadidalol on 30/01/2020 - 12:16

    I got it 6 months ago and love it. Great battery life and wide angle camera. I took all the photos for a recent trip with two others with iPhones, their camera is so inferior it's not even a joke.

    • jade-corbett on 30/01/2020 - 12:46

        iphone 6 :D

        • ozhunter68 on 30/01/2020 - 15:27

          From what I read it might even be better/similar to iphone 7.

      • Dadidalol on 30/01/2020 - 22:06
        +1

        One is an XR, the other I'm not sure. They also had to carry portable powerbanks to recharge their phones during the day lol. My A70 easily lasts 15-20 hours on a single charge even with heavy use of Google maps, grabcar/uber and being the main phone for photos during my trip. Only downside was that it isn't water resistant so I had to be super careful around pools etc

        • ozhunter68 on 30/01/2020 - 22:20

          Sounds good ( for you, not so good for the iphone users though ).

          Got to love a SD 77x series CPU coupled with a large battery and fairly clean Android.

          That huge sharp 6.7" Amoled screen is a bonus for a lot less than a XR.

    I replaced my Pixel3 with this phone.

    I am deliberately not charging my A70 for 3 days, just to luxuriate in being able to do this.

    • Dadidalol on 30/01/2020 - 22:10

      Tis a wonderful feeling!
      My days of needing to carry a powerbank or look everywhere for a place to charge my phone is long over.

      • f23lda on 31/01/2020 - 09:59

        I took my a70 off the charger on monday night.

        It is now friday morning and it has 27%.

    When I was looking at them HN and OW had the international model at $100 cheaper than the Au model
    The Australian model has YN at the end of the model number

    • ozhunter68 on 30/01/2020 - 21:34

      So, does HN and OW now sell grey imports ( int. model ) as well as local in their own stores now. First I heard.

  • chameleonsaint on 31/01/2020 - 09:49

    I know this is not new, but I just noticed that Kogan have the A70 refurbished for $412 + delivery.
