Dare I say a real bargain for this phone, lowest I’ve ever seen even.

Google Pixel 4a 5G is currently $549 outright with a previously registered Telstra ID, $250 off RRP and $50 cheaper than this deal not long ago. However, if you have not owned a Telstra ID, you’ll need to add an upfront mobile plan, minimum $55 for at least 1 month, bringing it to a total of $604 to be able to check out.

The professionals out there will probably not forget to price match Officeworks for another 5% off or use their 10% off giftcards at JB Hi Fi.

Happy hunting!

The iPhone 12 and 12 mini are also on sale for $200 off RRP for all variations on Telstra website. Same requirements with Telstra ID apply.

  • iPhone 12 mini: 64GB ($999) | 128GB ($1079) | 256GB ($1249) link
  • iPhone 12: 64GB ($1149) | 128GB ($1229) | 256GB ($1399) link

For new customers, you can avoid the $55 upfront mobile plan at checkout with a $2 prepaid sim, thanks APN Adelaide

        No plan is required, you just select outright and add to cart without selecting a plan. You will need a telstra account or make a new one

      Only a Telstra ID is required.

    • jfbargain on 14/06/2021 - 21:34

      Yes, you can get through to payment with no obligation to add a plan. Were you able to actually purchase one without adding a plan though? Because it fails for me without adding a plan.
      Thanks

  • nekov on 01/06/2021 - 07:03

      I thought they didn't offer that any more? At any rate, it's two years only. I got sucked in with my 2XL, took a million photos without a care then found my account was overloaded when two years was up, now I'm paying for Google One to keep everything.

      • nekov on 01/06/2021 - 07:25

        Unlimited high quality but not original quality, I assume as long as it's loaded from a Pixel phone ?

          Everyone has unlimited high quality photos with a Google account - but all smart phones take much higher resolution photos

            @pdtmathieson: Not from today they don't!
            (Only photos already there that not count towards 15GB)

            Google’s unlimited high-quality photo storage will change from 1 June 2021. Starting then every new photo and video uploaded will count toward the 15 GB of storage that comes with every Google Account.

            • [Deactivated] on 01/06/2021 - 07:44

              @Gandalf the Thrifty: And that was one of the reasons I have finally went back to iPhone after 12 years of google. It was always a big plus for Google but now that has gone and I can still use all of my Google apps on iPhone I’ve forgotten why I was so against the idea.

            • SnakeGrape on 01/06/2021 - 08:10

              @Gandalf the Thrifty: I have uploaded few photos from my computer and G drive. They have been counted towards my free 15GB storage. I cannot fathom this.

          • Wizballs on 01/06/2021 - 07:38

      • [Deactivated] on 01/06/2021 - 09:23

        Wait, don't you get to keep your original quality ones though, only photos you take now are the high quality?

          +1

          No, the device stores the original quality, and you can choose to keep unlimited high quality on Google Photos, or original quality that contributes to the cap.

            @pdtmathieson: You get unlimited free storage at Original quality for all photos and videos uploaded to Google Photos from Pixel 2 through January 16, 2021. Photos and videos uploaded on or before that date will remain free at Original quality. After January 16, 2021, new photos and videos will be uploaded at High quality for free. If you upload new photos and videos at Original quality, they will count against your storage quota. Source

      • mmd on 01/06/2021 - 11:37

        The pixel OG is unlimited forever.
        Buy second hand and transfer over
        It does raw photos and videos too.

        • shankur on 01/06/2021 - 18:27

          I did this. Have an OG just for uploading.

          Only problem is it's battery life is so bad it'll shortly not even be able to turn on, even when plugged in.

          But still, good way to upload a few TBs of photos in raw.

            @shankur: May I ask what the Pixel OG is?

            • mmd on 01/06/2021 - 20:38

              @Averell: Pixel OG also known as Pixel 1. The original where they offered unlimited photo)video storage to entice buyers

                @mmd: Pixel 3A, Pixel 4, Pixel 4A, Pixel 5: You also still get unlimited free “Storage saver,” aka “High quality” images going forward, but not “Original quality”
                Pixel 3: You still get unlimited free “Original quality” photos and videos if you upload them before January 1st, 2022, after which you get unlimited “Storage saver” going forward
                Pixel 2: You got (past tense) unlimited free “Original quality” photos and videos if you uploaded them before January 16th, 2021, and you get unlimited “Storage saver” going forward
                Pixel 1 / OG (2016): You get unlimited free “Original quality” photos and videos until your phone kicks the bucket

    • vietbargain on 01/06/2021 - 07:21

          I read that to mean Future Devices would not get unlimited storage, eg Pixel 5a, Pixel 6 etc.

          HQ uploads (under 16-MP) from “Pixels 2-5 will continue to be free and unlimited after June 1st.”

      • rdhupar on 01/06/2021 - 08:05

        Yes, with current pixels it is but only 'High Quality' which is not 'Original Quality'. To be honest most people these days are randomly clicking a millions photos so unlikely anyone truly wants "Original Quality" photos and those that do will definitely be also backing to a hard drive.

        • garage sale on 01/06/2021 - 08:29

          yep, back up to a hard drive …..if it’s pictures of your kids doing a “first something” you might want to get 8”x10” print for the grand parents so you want as high a res as the original …… i’m for some it’s the biggest fish they caught ……but if you intend to print a photo at some stage keep the res original ….. if you just wantto share with friends with phone screen then it’s not an issue.

            +1

            @garage sale: Also, from what I understand, "High Quality" is 16mp image or Full HD Video so I think that already kind of meets the needs of the majority including printing. My Pixel only has 12 MP camera so my understanding is "High Quality" is pretty much "Original Quality".

      • shankur on 01/06/2021 - 18:28

        Nope. Only pixel OG. Others get time limited.

                @slankets: I just tried calling officeworks (1300 OFFICE) and they didn't price match due to Telstra requiring an account and credit check. He said a few went through this morning but they are unable to do it anymore.

                edit: No luck at JB Hi-Fi (13 52 44) either.

                Although I have noticed that Officeworks have it for $646 - that is cheaper than RRP I believe?

        it applies to those who don't have anything to do with Telstra. it won't allow me to create a Telstra iD without a plan with them

        and can't checkout without a Telstra ID

        if you do have a Telstra ID already, you can checkout without a plan

    • [Deactivated] on 01/06/2021 - 07:47

      A toss up really. At the same price I’d say the snapdragon FE though. This phone is not waterproof at all, the screen isn’t as nice as a Samsung screen but it doesn’t have those easy to destroy curved edges that I’ve grown to loathe. Not sure it’s theFE has the curved screen or not.

      • UosdwisRDewoh on 01/06/2021 - 15:18

        S20 FE has flat screen. I bought a S20 FE 5G over a Pixel 4A for my mum, its a great phone. The 4A has better software but the S20 FE has a much bigger battery, water resistance and wireless charging which makes it a better choice than the 4A imo. Bargain for $600

  • jsefrog on 01/06/2021 - 07:57

    If it's the same terms as last deal, you definitely need a Telstra mobile on at least 59 a month plan. I can't give you any link because I could never find them online. Don't hate on me, it's Telstra's fault that this deal is ambiguous!

        Same with everyone else. Lady said she does not price match Telstra at all (probably the same lady I spoke to as you guys). It would be interesting to see a receipt for this transaction by Huy given everyone else's response.

      +1

      Should be able to claim via Google with IMEI. Same warranty (2 years)
