      They're probably Just seeing what we too see on the website.

      • EmployeeIronic fear @ Australia Post on 14/09/2020 - 12:16

        Yeah as I said in a comment yesterday, contact centre staff if they're new/not helpful they won't check store stock levels, they instead just search auspost.com.au like anyone else… Which makes calling them a coin flip as to whether it's pointless or helpful.

        In store should check if you ask :)

        I asked at a post office, saying it was the 4 TB for $79, and they searched their system for product code 88425
        When I googled for that, I found an expired ozbargain deal from Feb 2020 for a "Seagate 4TB expansion portable hard drive". But there's very low stock around, so don't get your hopes up.

  • DamonT on 14/09/2020 - 09:31

    Thanks so much OP. Got the last Y5 in East Melb. Still a few 32 SD cards left.

    Nothing at Bridge rd Richmond VIC (went there first).

    • djoz on 14/09/2020 - 09:44

      I would have picked the SD Card too, but realised it is SD and not microSD (which I could use in the phone).

      The Kingston 32GB microSD card is anyway just $10 on the Auspost website. And the 64GB is for $15. Good deals, I would wait for the next special on microSD cards. Maybe OP can let us know ;-)

    • djoz on 14/09/2020 - 09:45

      Agree. Even for my case, staff didn't know, only when I told them I'm here to buy only if it's marked down to $40, they did a quick scan on item "48663" and confirmed it is $40.

      Those who wish to buy, just walk up to the counter and ask them whats the price for "48663" and they will tell you it's $40. If in stock, pick it up!

    Out of stock in pretty much all of 5km radius of Glen Waverley

  • gottacatchemall on 14/09/2020 - 09:48

    Bought as a backup to a backup with a snapdragon 865 8gb as my main and suprised how snappy the y5 it is after disabling transition animations. No dual band wifi though and only updates to september 2019 security patch after installing all updates. Installed asphalt 9 for lols and the game didnt really run. Display is great for the price and gets really bright. Back cover feels high quality but I don't like the long "Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd Shenzehn 518129 PRC"

    • djoz on 14/09/2020 - 09:51

      You did all this already? Whoa! Btw, could u confirm what's the model number written on your box.
      And does it have NFC? As per gsmarena: NFC: Yes (market/region dependent) - AMN-LX1 only

      Alternatively, could you confirm if the phone has NFC and the model number?
      As per AusPost Website, it says NFC: Yes.

      • gottacatchemall on 14/09/2020 - 09:53

        No nfc it says lx2 "Made in China Model : AMN-LX2" below the junk I listed earlier. I live like 1 minute from the post office and bought at 9:01 lol so yes did all that only took 10 min.

        • djoz on 14/09/2020 - 09:57

          Oh yeah, got the AMN-LX2 as well. So the listing on Aus Post website mentioning NFC is incorrect.
          Not complaining though. Never at this price point.

          Btw, Aus Post also mentions "2 year Manufacturers Warranty". Would it really be 2 years?

    • kirt on 14/09/2020 - 09:57

      Is it Google certified?

      "To check if your device is certified, open the Google Play Store app on your Android phone, tap “Menu” and look for “Settings.” You will see if your device is certified under “Play Protect certification.” "

      • gottacatchemall on 14/09/2020 - 10:02

        Yes it is. All huawei devices that come with play store preinstalled are though I would presume?

        It also has ClearKey 1.1 CDM but Widevine is only L3 so no HD netflix.

        • djoz on 14/09/2020 - 10:07

          Thanks for confirming.
          kirt was asking about this:
          https://support.google.com/android/thread/29434011?hl=en

          However, this phone has all Google Apps as it was "made public" on 24 April 2019, and the restraining order came into effect on 16 May 2019.

          On May 16, 2019, the US government placed Huawei on its Entity List. This government action prohibits all US companies, including Google, from collaborating with Huawei.

          This means that Google is prohibited from working with Huawei on new device models or providing Google’s apps including Gmail, Maps, YouTube, the Play Store and others for preload or download on these devices.

          Our focus has been protecting the security of Google users on the millions of existing Huawei devices around the world. We have continued to work with Huawei, in compliance with government regulations, to provide security updates and updates to Google’s apps and services on existing devices, and we will continue to do so as long as it is permitted. To be clear: US law currently allows Google to only work with Huawei on device models available to the public on or before May 16, 2019.

          • gottacatchemall on 14/09/2020 - 10:10

            @djoz: I'm very aware. My point is if it comes with play store preinstalled aka released before may 16 2019 it would be play certified. Devices like the p40 pro are not but don't come with the play store and google apps preinstalled.

            • djoz on 14/09/2020 - 10:12

              @gottacatchemall: Ah well, then this is a great grab! How does Huawei manage phones without Google Apps? What are the alternatives?

              Boy, this order would've hit their sales real hard.

              • gottacatchemall on 14/09/2020 - 10:13

                @djoz: Phones without google apps you can sideload it. I have an honor 7c from china which is bootloader locked and doesn't come preinstalled with google apps but I installed them through an installer alongside play services, contacts sync etc and it all works fine.

    Went to my local post office and there was a lady already asking, taking all available in displays and also grabbing the ones in back. Hoarded all, did not even offer one to me (i was right there next to her asking the same). The Auspost at counter also did not limit 1 per person. So then had to go to another post office and got the last one which was on display and unmarked (showed full price so the cashier was almost shocked that it was showing 40 instead of 199). On the positive side, i got the 2GB / 32 GB Amber brown colour variant which may not be for everyone's taste but we like it, especially considering my wife will be using it. The sku is probably 414772 for this one.

      Oh the ladies are on fire it seems. Another one such incident reported above. On the website it is limited to 2 per customer, so should be in-store as well. But dunno if it will be enforced in-store.

      Btw, how many did she hoard?

      • bajirao on 14/09/2020 - 10:13

        I don't know as they had 2 in display and 3 in back. The moment she said she's going to have all i moved aside. Didn't want any drama in an already over crowded post office.
        I am sure she's reading OzB and these comments so shame on her.
        Also, there are 2 SIM slots and 1 microSD slot. There are 2 IMEI numbers on the box so i think this is indeed dual SIM. Haven't powered up yet - that's for evening.

            My Nokia 3 ($45 with NFC) is burning through USB ports at a rapid rate (no idea what causes it, but $2 each form ali express). Hoping this was the replacement..not quite (couldn't get as TCL Plex).

            Don't suppose there are two different types of Y5 floating around (ie some dual Sim, some NFC)?

            • djoz on 14/09/2020 - 11:04

              @tunzafun001: As per gsmarena, there are 4 models: AMN-LX9, AMN-LX1, AMN-LX2, AMN-LX3

              Points:
              AMN-LX1 has NFC, the rest do not
              AMN-LX9 is Single SIM, the rest are dual SIM.

              What we are getting from Aus Post is AMN-LX2. So Dual SIM yes, but NFC no.

I was at my local and saw a guy walking out with at least 4 phones so I crash tackled him to the ground dropping all phones and as he scrambled up to make a run for the Mall exit he dropped one phone. I picked it up and ran after him (slowly) but he got away. Score.

    No hard drives left at mirrabooka, bassendean or palmyra. Possibly none left in the state. Bassendean also sold out of the phones

      What time were you in Basso asking about the phones?

          I was there at the open - third person in the queue - the two people in front of me were doing regular PO business.

          A young couple were looking at the phones on display, definitely Ozbargainers, but little did they know that stock is held behind the counter. They slid to 6th or 7th in the queue, my gosh what a rookie error.

          Three tellers at work. Asked my teller about the Y5 Black phone, nervously gave her the product code, she began to look it up on the screen, and replied yes we have them. Then a delivery guy arrives, my teller leaves her position to let him in and process the delivery. WTF!! Meanwhile, the young couple had moved up to be alongside me at the next teller. I immediately thought, hello, bulk buyers.Girl asks about phones. The other teller said "if they're not there, we don't have any". I think they walked out at that point, did they get jibbed? I think so. But I was absorbed in my own unfolding drama.

          After seemingly an eternity, my teller arrives back, gets a phone from the "safe", processes it and says it is $40. She looked surprised and asked how I knew about it? I sheepishly said that I read it online, that is how I spend my weekends, I'm pathetic. She said that there were 5 available at that time (probably 9.03am). I'll take it thanks, I stammered.

          All in all, an extraordinary mini-experience in the heart of Bassendean. Not quite the same smell of victory as the infamous $150 Galaxy Note 8 drama from The Good Guys Osborne Park, but still, a bit of fun to start the week.

    Just came back from the LPO Union Road, Ascot Vale. There's at least one Y5 in the glass cabinet with a ticket price $199.

      It scans at $40, none of the staff are aware of the markdowns, apparently.
