Telstra is also having a sale on the Pixel 5 model. $150 off RRP. These are rarely on sale.

Can be purchased outright without a plan it seems.

Price match at JB hifi and use 5% discounted gift cards as it seems Officeworks is refusing to price match due to “Telstra price error” - highly doubt it as it would’ve been fixed by now

      Tried as well on the phone, they said in order to buy it you had to be a Telstra customer (i.e. have a Telstra ID).

      • kchibi7 on 05/03/2021 - 08:33

        Same outcome for me, you have to sign in as telstra customer to get that price.

        • rdhupar on 05/03/2021 - 08:40

          Which is free..I showed them the whole process in store and they happily agreed

          • f4te on 05/03/2021 - 08:40

                  @tre180: Just register. Dont need any Telstra numbers. I dont have any services with Telstra and I could register and create a MyTelstraID for free. It requires you to authenticate yourself with a Passport or Driver's License which I did and that's all.

          • kchibi7 on 05/03/2021 - 08:55

            @rdhupar: was it the black one you bought? the sage one apparently is online purchase only…and I had no luck with them price beating it online.

            • rdhupar on 05/03/2021 - 10:15

              @kchibi7: I wish the 2 threads could be combined as this discussion applies to both. I actually bought the 4a 5g so not sure about Pixel 5. That being said Officeworks should price beat that as well.

      Yes i was able to do last year for an Mi 9T from JB Hi-Fi Pitt Street Sydney

  • Stimps on 05/03/2021 - 08:53

    This or S21 from yesterday’s post for 999?

    • Crimzic on 05/03/2021 - 10:07

      CPU in Pixel 5 is meh, probably half of S21 performance. I would go for S21 if extra $150-200 is not an issue. Camera in Pixel looks better though.

  • gbones on 05/03/2021 - 08:58

    tempted to get this as i walked past office works this morning. i had a s8+ and now on a redmi note 9 pro. interested to see what other shops like JB/Amazon do today if anything.

    • CodeXD on 05/03/2021 - 09:15

      Something like this you need to price beat quick before OW catches on and match the price.

      • gbones on 05/03/2021 - 22:31

        Went after work when there was no one there in Pitt Street Officeworks Sydney, the girl didnt question it and price matched it on the spot. No more stock but will be picking up on Monday. Now to get a case.

        • lethological on 26/03/2021 - 13:53

          https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B08D64H3VS/ref=ppx_od_d…

          The genuine fabric cases are very nice but still around 60$

          fwiw the Pixel 3 is a lot better for camera, microphone, speaker and loudspeaker, but dont mind the smaller size and battery life on these. still waiting to order a replacement p3 xl, if i don't get a decent price many as well keep and use as well.

  • gareth886 on 05/03/2021 - 09:22

        It's been very buggy to be honest, features that don't work, Google Assistant is no-where as good as Siri and doesn't work half the time. Nothing major, but just enough annoyances to make me regret the decision, I'll probably sell it at some stage and go back to Apple.

          That's interesting. I thought the Google Assistant was miles better than Siri. Can I ask what kind of issues did you face?

            @rdhupar: Also curious. Google Assistant and fingerprint reader are my main reasons for sticking with Android so far. iPhone widgets are just as good now I think?

          • itsHughesy on 05/03/2021 - 10:39

            @rdhupar: For example, this literally just happened - I had a notification banner saying that someone had commented on a post I made on Facebook. I clicked on it, and the phone opened Twitter. Things like this happen all the time.

            @rdhupar: I would hate to think how bad the other assistants are then. We have Google homes all through the house and can say one of the most frustrating things is the google assistant. Plays songs completely different to what we asked, constantly loses connections, doesnt play Australian news, has to ask me if i want the weather when i ask it what the weather will be today. The amount of times i have abused the assistant is incredible, have even toyed with jumping to the Amazon one if i hadnt invested so much in all the units we have. Hoping it gets smarter over time.

              @worthy1: It sounds like you might not have set all of your preferences in the "Home" app. Definitely worth looking through because it makes the experience way better. You can do things like set preferred news outlets, weather location, and a bunch of stuff which sounds like you might benefit.
              I can't remember if the settings apply to each device itself, or if each user needs to set their own preferences and it detects who's voice is speaking.

              @worthy1: My personal favourite Google Home fails:
              - Google Chromecast insists on recommending Disney+ content, even though I've recorded in settings that I'm not a subscriber
              - the un-turn-offable acknowledgement commands if you are in a different room, or are using it to activate any device except for a light eg she blares out "Got it. Turning 4 lights off" in the middle of the night if the bathroom rather than bedroom Home Mini picks it up

          go back to Apple

          No offense, but this seems to be the main issue here. People (including me) always compare a new product to the ones they are used to. I, for one, can't use my wife's iPhone even for taking a picture.

          I clicked on it, and the phone opened Twitter.

          Interesting. I have never seen anything like this on an Android device. Could be a Pixel bug.

            @bio: I tend to swap every few generations, only had Samsung Androids before though, so I've got some experience with them and I've never had one with as many little random annoying bugs. Honestly, it feels like a Beta phone for testing rather than a finished product.

      • marct on 05/03/2021 - 14:20

        Yeah I just realised it's giving me an error because I don't have a Telstra phone number, so it's not letting me go through the last step. It's not really saying that, but I'm pretty sure that's the error. I might get a $2 sim and see if that fixes it

        • bio on 05/03/2021 - 15:31

        tried the same jb hi fi. despite seeing this and previously approving for you they disapproved for me. pointed out the same thing as you and they didn't care. were quite rude about it too. guess there must be a rude manager there who doesn't like this deal.

        • brisdaz on 26/03/2021 - 21:17

          As mentioned elsewhere it's below JB's cost price and whilst done are taking the hit for brand protection purposes and seeking for Google rebate first others don't want to lose money.

      • f4te on 05/03/2021 - 11:29

        Telstra have a 7 day price match, so if someone decides to beat it we can claim the difference back: https://www.telstra.com.au/mobile-phones/price-match

        • bio on 05/03/2021 - 11:44

          Yeah but OfficeWorks (or someone else) would only match Telstra if they decide to update their advertised price. They won't beat them 5% for no reason.

        Exactly. Just show OW when Telstra was selling it for $749 and that wasn't a price error. The BS OW keeps coming up with to avoid price matching is unbelievable.

    How come this deal gets more upvotes at $849 compared to the deals at $749, $747. Maybe soon it will surpass the other $749 deal.

    I don't get it, the price is higher. Is it considered bargain worthy when the price is higher?

    • skido on 05/03/2021 - 11:33

      The first one you linked of $749 from Telstra is a duplicate post for https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/583498

      • bio on 05/03/2021 - 13:25

        It is not linked to a plan when you choose "Outright". The checkout page clearly said: Pay now: $849. Pay in the future: $0.
