    How does this compare to the unlocked Oppo A52 for $219?

      The review i watched on this painted a pretty good picture, especially for the price. Not sure about the oppo.

      My experience with the a20 is really good, while using it i sometimes forget I'm using it and not my note 9.

      My daughter has the Oppo. Generally decent. But apps crash more than i'd like and it has trouble with GPS sometimes.

    • ozhunter68 on 22/02/2021 - 20:21

      Slight over statement there lol.

  • mrtee on 22/02/2021 - 20:20

    I'm using this as a work phone, it lags pretty often

  • Lone star on 22/02/2021 - 20:21

    Would OW price match this?

    • [Deactivated] on 23/02/2021 - 13:04

      Would like to know the same

  • pyr0maniac on 22/02/2021 - 20:22

    Price matching Target it seems

    • [Deactivated] on 23/02/2021 - 20:49

      Target reduced to limited stock. Only 5 stores remain

      Target Melbourne
      Target Sunbury
      Target Knox City
      Target Waverley Gardens
      Target Waurn Ponds

  • bwatt72 on 22/02/2021 - 20:49

    Any deals locked to telstra having boost would only work with Telstra phone or unlocked.

  • Mechz on 22/02/2021 - 21:02

    The specs on Amazon say 4000mah

    Lastly, it has a very long life 5000 mah battery

  • [Deactivated] on 22/02/2021 - 22:36

    How much RAM ? 2 GB or 3 GB ?

  • MS Paint on 22/02/2021 - 22:43

    Has anyone been able to get OW to Price Match ?

    • pyr0maniac on 23/02/2021 - 13:12

      If they won't price match Amazon then show them the Target link (few comments up), they will surely match Target.

        OW price matched and they had heaps in store. Tried to get them to Price Match the unlocked version but no luck.

        They would only price match the same Optus Locked A21S version.

        Got the A21S price matched at OW for $161.5‬0 however not as cheap as the $150 paid for the A20 last year.

        • Lone star on 23/02/2021 - 18:45

          Nice. Which store is it? My postcode is 2166. I will try my nearby stores tomorrow. Hope I get lucky.

          • [Deactivated] on 23/02/2021 - 20:39

            @Lone star: Tells you stock availability on the OW website

            • Lone star on 24/02/2021 - 09:50

              @[Deactivated]: You have been lucky to price match with your local OW. I outside now at OW Villawood 2163.
              After the manager couldn't find out whether the Amazon seller is a private or retail seller I was told that they couldn't price match it. Reason was that the Amazon deal is a "bundle deal (phone with SIM)". OW don't price match bundle deals…. hmmm 😒

              • [Deactivated] on 24/02/2021 - 10:43

                @Lone star: I didn't get them to price match Amazon but Target. Target is same price as Amazon and is a local store which they cannot deny to price match.

                https://www.target.com.au/p/samsung-galaxy-a21s-prepaid-mobi…

                • Lone star on 24/02/2021 - 10:53

                  @[Deactivated]: But as you can see, Target deal is also a bundle offer.

                  Anyway, when I was outside the OW I called a few other OW nearby me. There were 3 and all were busy on the phone line. I manged to get through to OW at postcode 2171. After about 15 mins on the phone they said I should be ok to price match. At the first store told me that I had to come instore. I won't contact them firstly to price match any Amazon deals in the future anymore.
                  Well, I finally grabbed one.

                  • WatchNerd on 24/02/2021 - 11:31

                    @Lone star: All Optus pre-paid phones come with a sim card, it's not tied to the phone in any way. You don't have to activate it.

                    Sounds like they were trying to make up an excuse not to price beat as usual.

                    @Lone star: Not sure I understand what you mean by bundle.

                    OW sell both an 'unlocked' A21S and 'locked' (Optus) A21S

                    You are price matching the OW locked (Optus) A21S to the Target locked (Optus) A21S

                    Or are you saying you were trying to get them to sell you the 'unlocked' A21S version for $161.50 ?

                    • Lone star on 24/02/2021 - 12:13

                      @[Deactivated]: Sorry if I made it a little unclear. What I meant is if you have a closer look and Amazon and Target deal. Both of them come with a $30 prepaid Sim. OW at Villawood 2163 told me that because the deal comes with a $30 prepaid Sim, they won't price match. You got me now?

                      • WatchNerd on 24/02/2021 - 12:29

                        @Lone star:

                        You got me now?

                        No, you didn't answer Andy99's question.

                        • Lone star on 24/02/2021 - 12:44

                          @WatchNerd: Hehe.. ok I tried to price match the locked phone deal. I knew for sure that I never could price match a locked mobile with an unlocked mobile deal. However, the manager at 2163 said that the Amazon deal is like "an apple" and the sale with ONLY the phone without SIM is like" a pear). So it's not an identical deal.

                            @Lone star: Just order it from Target with 15% cashback (up to $20) @ CashRewards - a much better deal. It is showing home delivery is available.

                            Edit: Nevermind, just re-read and saw that you got one already. WIll leave my comment up there in case someone is after the phone.

                        @Lone star: The OW A21S that does not come with a prepaid SIM means it is 'unlocked'
                        OW will most likely never price match a locked (Optus) phone deal to an OW 'unlocked' phone which is not subsidized by a network carrier

                        The Amazon and Target A21S are both locked (Optus) offers

                        However if someone has been able to get OW to price match and sell the 'unlocked' A21S for $161.50 please post the receipt

  • hexapling on 23/02/2021 - 12:10

    Will an Amaysim or Catch SIM work with this without unlocking?

  • [Deactivated] on 23/02/2021 - 13:04

    How does the A21S compare with the previous A21 ? Is the A21S more powerful ?
