Down from $797. An alternative to the JB $649 deal. $5 cheaper and also free delivery, for those not wanting to use discounted gift cards or similar at JB. Thanks to kerodean for the heads up.

Not a lot of stores with stock in store, but you can click & collect or delivery at most locations it seems. A reminder that Officeworks accepts Coles Group Gift Cards in store only, in case you had some to use, perhaps purchased from Coles during Zip Pay Saturdays.

16 MP rear camera with HDR+ capabilities, and an 8 MP front camera.

      No deals on the Pixel 4a as yet.

      For those unaware, keep in mind that the Pixel 4a 5G has other important advantages over the regular Pixel 4a, apart from the obvious (5G):

          you still get updates and warranty by the time you get vaccine so get the 5g version if not for 5g, then because it’s newer and has more features.

      Redmi K30 765G 5G mobile phone in China is priced around $280 for base model.

        Are the specs the same though? How about the camera?

          it’s not just about the hardware, it’s all about the software, you will get more security patches and other updates on this pixel than you will with a redmi unless it’s an android one version.

          no point having great hardware if you don’t get updates for better photos, etc, and a lot of improvements happen with software updates, best hardware isn’t leveraged without good software.

      Because JB hi-fi had it for $649, and I guess officeworks' internet bunnies detected a price change and auto adjusted before mass walk ins in price beats.

      I couldn't make it in time to OW to take advantage of a price beat to take it to $616. Quite gutted but I guess I'll wait till boxing day for the pixel 5 perhaps.

      google isn’t in the phone business to make money from handsets, it’s to promote android against apple, need people using android for data collection and pixel is a great way to promote the latest android versions e.g 11 and security patching for 3 years.

      there is often criticism about how many years iphone gets updates vs android and google is trying to address that with pixel phones and android one phones.

      personal phone is android , work supplied phone is apple , so i’m not an fan boi of either.

        Which UI do you like?

        • Nebargains on 25/12/2020 - 10:08
          +1

          I am in same boat, personal phone is Android and has been for a long time so I am far more used to it, work phone is iPhone so I really only use it for work. My preference may simply come down to what I use more but considering I have been using various iPhones for work for ~10-11 years it's not like I haven't used one much, it is just my use is different (i.e phone calls and emails vs everything I would do on my personal phone).

          Personally I find Android phones far more intuitive in basically every way, it is often just the little things from navigating various menus and settings to how some standard apps work. But that is just my opinion.

          • stockastics on 25/12/2020 - 15:42

            @Nebargains: Have just switched from pixel 3xl to iPhone 12 pro max. Android to apple switch after 7-8 years. I find Android to be more intuitive and apps seems be better designed and require less steps to complete tasks.

        Yep agree with you and same setup for personal/work here… Also apple ipads and hand me downs around the house.

        Personally i like Android interface, but im a techy so i like to have a bit more freedom that Android provides.

    I will be getting new phone in Jan. Need to decide which one has better camera (hardware+software) between Pixel 5 and Samsung S21 when it launches.

    • nathan-drake on 25/12/2020 - 09:08

      s21 is a flagship. P5 is an upper mid range phones. Not really comparable. I got the pixel 5 for $711 recently via the telstra pricematch on black friday, great phone for that price

    This or Samsung s20 Fe?

    • avivadz on 25/12/2020 - 09:03
      +2

      The s20 Fe has better specs overall I think (ie: better processor, screen, has microSD card slot) but what's pushing me to Google for my next phone is Google Photos. Google is taking away the unlimited storage for Photos in June 2021 and the only way to keep unlimited storage is if you have a Google phone.

      • onlinepred on 25/12/2020 - 09:42

        Just pay a few dollars a month and you can use it on any phone.

      • maiuspala on 25/12/2020 - 09:58
        +2

        As far as i know, you will get unlimited photos only in high quality, not in original quality with Pixel 1-5 after June 1 2021.

        • tmr3 on 25/12/2020 - 10:38
          +1

          Pixel and Pixel XL owners will retain their unlimited original quality backup as there was no end date specified for that particular bonus, it was a lifetime offer.

          Keeping a Pixel 1 working, on the other hand, is proving to be a bit of a challenge. If only replacing the battery was easier.

    • nathan-drake on 25/12/2020 - 09:09
      +1

      s20 fe has a notorious screen hardware problem with touch response, not many people talking about it

      • avivadz on 25/12/2020 - 09:17

        I googled and it looks to be a real issue for the FE but it seems to be software related rather than hardware. I probably would steer away from FE then until this screen issue is resolved by future patch updates.

        The only drawback for me with Google phone is no microSD slot and no 256gb model. I like extra space in my phone.

        • GPAK on 25/12/2020 - 10:39

          Samsung isn't going to give 20 FE much attention once S21 is released though

        • AssociatedPaulEDangerously @ Officeworks on 26/12/2020 - 00:23

          I've been using the S20FE for about 4 weeks now and with all the software updates, I have not encountered any screen issues, not once. I was hesitant to buy one when reading about it, but I got a decent discount offer through work and I'm very happy with the purchase. So far a great phone.
          P.s not associated with Officeworks, don't know why it's saying I have to tick this box.

    Just realised this is only a 60hz display. My view is that it doesn't cut it at this price point any more. Would rather go with the nord.

    • Could Be Better on 25/12/2020 - 10:50

      60hz isn’t bad at all, it’s not like you’re playing esports on your phone.

      • aimon on 25/12/2020 - 12:32

        There is a much better experience between 60 and 90 hz.

          +1

          Only if you had 90 n go back to 60… Then you may see the difference, if you never used 90 or more than it won't make any difference to you.

  • jmartz on 25/12/2020 - 10:38

    How much is this an upgrade from the pixel 2xl? I mostly need something new cause of the lack of upgrades for the 2xL past Feb.

    Also can you get jb or office works to split payments and make th most of the zip pay?

    • scud70 on 25/12/2020 - 22:27

      I can't see why they wouldn't have split payments, work in a retail company and customers split payments in many different ways… Retailers will take your money any way possible lolll

    Wish the 5G version came with the same screen size as the regular version.

    • hamza23 on 25/12/2020 - 11:02

      You will find that it feels a lot smaller than you expect when looking at the spec sheet, I guess due to the small bezels and slim design.

  • gadget on 25/12/2020 - 11:56

    So if you have a current (4G) plan with the majors do you automatically get to use 5G or does this need to be activated? (and no change to plan price?)

    • May4th on 25/12/2020 - 12:16

      think of it as buying a 4K TV and streaming netflix. if you are on standard subscription HD you won't get 4K quality, the TV is just capable of playing and displaying 4K. You'll need a 5G data plan to make the most of it but 4G will work as 4G on this phone as it has backward compatibility like how your current 4G phone can use 3G/HSDPA networks

      • gadget on 25/12/2020 - 12:53

        Just to confirm I reached out and what you have said is not correct (but may be different depending on the network although I doubt it). In my case getting access to the 5G network on an existing plan merely requires a capable phone.

        • May4th on 25/12/2020 - 12:56

          like i said it depends on your network, you need a 5G enabled network. all majors will have 5G included in their plan. if you go with prepaid options like boost / kogan etc it will not be possible.

          • gadget on 25/12/2020 - 14:18

            @May4th: With respect, your post wasn't clear in this regard. I DID say majors in mine.

    • Yurii7 on 26/12/2020 - 10:03
      +1

      I've just had a chat with Google. You need to purchase the device from their website and pay a full price first. Then when you receive the device and if the promotion with either OfficeWorks or JB Hi-Fi is still up you need to call Google and request a price match.
      $100 Google store credit will be added to your account as well.
      If the promotion will be expired by the time you receive the phone you should be able to return it for free.
      Cheers
