Pixel 6 is out and I can't wait to get my hands on this phone.

Google is offering a $150 store credit when pre ordering a Pixel 6 Pro.
$100 store credit for the Pixel 6.

Not all colours seem to be available at the moment and items seem to be already selling through.

Prices start at $1299 for the Pro and $999 for the Pixel 6 which is a great price for such a high end flagship phone. Specs look great. Camera amazing…and the much hyped tensor chip.

I'm seeing some shortages coming based on demand and chip shortages. I understand that the first drop is only about 7 000 000 devices globally so get in quick….

Interweb already lighting up with very good reviews.

Also another deal with free nest audio from JB Hifi courtesy of DialaDeal
Harvey Norman also providing a pre order bonus

Unsure how this hangs together with the Google TV /Netflix deal with the $70 coupon…if you figured this out let me know.

Update: the $70 Google TV voucher dropped now and can be applied to your purchase. You still get the $150 store credit which is great. Delivery times however seem to blowout till December or January 22 already.

Mod:

Offer Terms
Additional 10% Store Credit with Google One 2TB

        USD $899 is approximately AUD $1,200. No free delivery and then pay freight and insurance with a forwarding account. It does end up being almost the same cost in the end to get it here.

        • G-rig on 20/10/2021 - 10:33

          People always say the us is cheaper but it's not really most of the time :)

          • sobriety22 on 20/10/2021 - 10:41

            @G-rig: It is cheaper if you're there so reality is, it is cheaper! I get why it is cheaper there though so I'm not fussed.

        • Lucatony on 20/10/2021 - 10:47

          You also get the free USB pixel buds in Australia

    • reactor-au on 20/10/2021 - 11:01

      Google is more competing with iPhone 13 range prices which are much higher here than the US, I think that's why the 6 is more expensive but the 6 pro is cheaper

    • y2k on 20/10/2021 - 11:05

      Sadly only hardware - Google Store is separate to the Google Play Store. Former is for physical products, latter for digital products.

    Terrible front design, you can see the top and bottom edge is much thicker than pixel 5 or Samsung… Better wait next gen Samsung coming next year

      Does Samsung flagship as the pure Android experience? How about the Tensor chip? Free high-quality photo backup option?

      • cmyk on 20/10/2021 - 08:46

        I'm going to get 6 pro and agree with point 1 and 2. However i think they removed free photo backup.. very happy to be wrong here!

        • aveeno bb on 20/10/2021 - 09:52

          You may be right, even though Google made it very confusing.

          New Pixel devices may be missing out on this perk.

      • Zacard on 20/10/2021 - 08:47

        Pixel 6 has unlimited saver on google photos??!?

        • aveeno bb on 20/10/2021 - 10:16

          as above. potentially goine with pixel 6. would be nice if anyone can confirm.

      • onlinepred on 20/10/2021 - 08:53

        No, but it has about 100 extra features, is often far cheaper, higher quality build, better actual phone hardware like mic and speakers. Most should be paying for backups so they aren't restricted to a certain brand of phone anyway. And what are you going to use the Tensor chip for? You know it's based off samsung CPU?

        • TheContact on 20/10/2021 - 09:01
          +1

          Samsung just make it, though both use reference ARM cores, the configuration is unique to Tensor.

      • shaoyangdl on 20/10/2021 - 09:00

        I care more on screen and look than other stuff, this is why I stay away from iphone, lol

      • gromit on 20/10/2021 - 09:04
        -2

        I don't think anyone cares about a tensor chip or not, its a phone, as long as it performs, which all the high end ones do. however I will personally never buy another samsung, between their broken apps, bloat and bixby the s9 was the last samsung phone I am likely to ever own. But I will say at least the samsung phones look a 1000 times better than the pixel.

        • onlinepred on 20/10/2021 - 09:22

          After 12 years of pixel and Samsung, I gave up and bought an iPhone haha. As a tech and phone enthusiast, it hurts me, but android IMO is still a mess and Samsung was by far the best in my experience.

    The fact reviewers are coming out saying they have weird embargo during the preorder period is enough of a red flag for me to not consider any purchase until the proper reviews come out. Extended embargos scream problems

    • onlinepred on 20/10/2021 - 08:55

      Pixels have always had their fair share of issues, I would be waiting a month after release to be safe. I remember getting my Pixel 5, and finding the call quality to be one of the worst I've used in years, the speakers were terrible, and it loaded web pages slower that an iPhone from 4 years ago.

    • reactor-au on 20/10/2021 - 09:01
      +2

      You can always return it unopened if the reviews suck, you won't receive the phones before the review embargo. Also google will probably remove the embargo later this week because apple also have an embargo for next monday for their new devices.

      • G-rig on 25/10/2021 - 18:37

        Yeah the microphone, earpiece and loud suck compared to pixel 3XL, however it was sold cheaper as a less premium phone. Hopefully they have made some actual improvement on the pixel 6 if the price is creeping up again

    • Fuzor on 20/10/2021 - 09:26

      If no one has a review, then it wasn't done well but Mkbhd managed to get a lengthy review out. If its weird, how did he manage to do it when they wouldve got it at the same time. Some people just like to complain about things.

      • Scalding Coffee Cup on 20/10/2021 - 09:43

        MKBHD actually highlighted the review embargo and pointed out that it's a red flag in his review. He said he'd have a longer review once the embargo lifts. It seems it's around software and photos/videos.

  • DingoBilly on 20/10/2021 - 08:58

            @reactor-au: Based on many comments here though, it seems the invoice states both stores credit from Google one and promotional credit.

            Mine only states google one which is a bit of a concern. I'll try to contact then and confirm

            • kulprit on 26/10/2021 - 08:36

              @SmiTTy: The invoice doesn't, the email states both.

              • SmiTTy on 26/10/2021 - 12:45

                @kulprit: My email confirmation doesnt either. Just the google one 10% off :(

                Although I did contact them via chat and when they checked the order they did suggest to me my order was eligible. So fingers crossed!

    • aveeno bb on 20/10/2021 - 15:57

      Yes it does in the confirmation email.

      14 days return policy even if opened, no restocking fee in Australia

  • mbrooks on 20/10/2021 - 09:10

    So if you were on the 2TB plan already, would you get both:

    • 10% store credit
    • Plus either $100/$150 depending on which phone you bought

    In about 21 / 30 days time?

    That's pretty decent if true.

        Yep this worked for me when I pre ordered the Pixel4XL. Got the 10% plus the addition $150. So expect it will be the same this time around.

      • elektron on 20/10/2021 - 12:16

        I'm not that optimistic - I spoke with them earlier they told me that you can only get one credit for the same purchase. For example, if I use the $70 Birthday sale credit that I'm yet to receive, to buy the Pixel Pro, then I won't receive the $150. And, apparently, I can't return my unopened Chromecast that I bought from the Birthday sale just to get the $70 Pixel credit.

  • jhaley3180 on 20/10/2021 - 09:11

    Dissappointed I wanted Pixel 6 Pro 256gb in colour other than black… Oh well guess I'll cope with 128gb. Got to say I think this pricing is extremely sharp for a flagship and when I combine 10% back and $150 credit. Great deal indeed!

    • y2k on 20/10/2021 - 11:03

    Finding it hard to see available cases from the major brands (e.g. Spigen, Caseology, etc.) Would we expect these to hit Amazon AU and aussie online retailers today/soon? Prefer to get the case at the same time or before the phone the comes!

      I got a cheaper case about 3 weeks ago off ebay to see if I liked the size and shape prior to ordering. It also allows me to have a case whilst I figure out which case I want stick with.

    For what it's worth I signed up to one month of the 2tb google one plan and my order confirmation email shows both the 10% credit for that as well as being eligible for the $150 store credit for preordering a 6 Pro. Been an expensive couple of days between this and the MacBook Pro bring on end of next weeks deliveries!

    • G-rig on 20/10/2021 - 09:27

      Not bad, assume too late to upgrade teir to 2tb now to get the 10% off (and downgrade later perhaps)

      • drc13 on 20/10/2021 - 09:32

        I actually missed it on my first order, so quickly signed up for one month of the 2tb plan ($12ish) then reordered. Once that was confirmed I canceled the first order. Once I have the phone and confirmed credits, I'll downgrade the google one plan.

        • smoothymcmellow on 20/10/2021 - 10:16

          I did exactly this and it only showed the 10% credit on my confirmation and did not have the $150 like yours. My original order has the $150. I didn't want to risk it and cancel. Wondering if 3rd times a charm and try again?

          • reactor-au on 20/10/2021 - 10:30

            @smoothymcmellow: It might be limited to only 1x 150$ credit per Google account

          • drc13 on 20/10/2021 - 10:33

            @smoothymcmellow: Yeah the uncertainty on this is why I thought it was worth posting my experience and screenshot because I was a bit nervous it wouldn't work either (especially as at the time I ordered there was all sorts of google cart/payment issues)

            Good luck if you try again at least they are easy to cancel if it doesn't work out

            • smoothymcmellow on 20/10/2021 - 12:25

              @drc13: Worked on 4th try! At least I have an email confirmation of it to push back if I don't get it

    • Fuzor on 20/10/2021 - 09:29

        $150 google credit for preordering the 6 Pro
        plus
        $129.90 store credit for using the 10% google one (2tb plan only) discount which is automatically applied in the cart

        so essentially paid $1299 for the 128gb 6pro and got $280 google credits

      +1 I like to know too as I've managed to secure two. However, if my 4XL buying experience from Google Store remains true, I'd say it's $150 Google Store irrespective of the number of devices purchased. I have contacted Google Store, awaiting their response.

      • kulprit on 20/10/2021 - 16:33

        The terms and conditions say up to two per person so should be good. If black and white come back in stock will grab them , although annoying I missed the student beans 10% off.

        • DonIsGood on 20/10/2021 - 16:52

          They used similar wording during Pixel 4 XL Black Friday Sales. I bought two 4XL's thinking I would get 2x promo credits, but only received one, as their argument was "one promo per account respectively on the number of devices purchased". I ended up spending 2x 1-hour sessions with them, even got their lawyer involved… in the end, they provided the second credit. I hope I won't have to go through the same pain again…

      • ScottTheFalcon on 25/10/2021 - 15:34

        Last year I bought a Pixel 5 and two "4a 5G" phones, got credit for them all. Which added up to more than the "$375 per year" limit. I've used that towards my Pixel 6 Pro purchase. Tracking looks like it will be with me tomorrow :)

    Just letting you guys know, if you still have a student email address you can get a 10% discount on the Pixel 6 (verify with Student Beans) for a total at checkout of A$1,169.10. Then you also get the $150 store credit for Pixel 6 Pro and I got an additional 3% Shop credit for Google One 200GB Plan, A$35.07. You could possibly get slightly more store credit by upgrading to the 2TB plan instead of the 200GB, but I already had that so wasn't worth the upgrade.
    So my total with store credit deducted was $984.03 for Pixel 6 Pro 128GB, pretty good:)

            @[Deactivated]: credits will apply 30 days after dispatch, so you may need to keep it until the credits show in your account.

            Ts and Cs also mention that you need to have the subscription status at the time of credit activation, meaning you can't just cancel after ordering the phone.

            What I am not sure is if you can downgrade after ordering, but for me, I will just wait until I get the credit, and cancel.

              @aveeno bb: Cheers. Worth eating another $12 though then again I am not sure what I would spend the credit on so the phone alone credit may be enough… I am not big on ear buds and the pixel buds seem the only thing worth redeeming. Unless you want two pixel phones

          need to do it prior, as there is no option to sign up during pixel checkout.

      From what I can see, the Google One store credit is separate from the Pixel 6 offer and you don't need to purchase them in the same tranaction.

      When do I see the discount for Google One? Is it at checkout? How does the credit come through?

    If you have a Goolge One subscription you can get even more store credit.

    eg. Standard plan is $4.39 for one month and you can get 3% back. The Premium plan is $12.49 for one month and you get 10% back.

    Haven't tested if these stack with the $150 store credit.
