Very good flagship phone and I think the best deal at the moment for it. Can purchase using Harvey Norman gift cards as well.
This unlocked phone includes full manufacturer’s warranty and features Optus network branding. This means that the phone is not locked to a specific carrier but may come pre-installed with Optus applications. Additionally, when you power on the device, the Optus logo may display.
Just get the Google Pixel 6 Pro at this price point.
P6 pro is 30% more expensive and half the storage.
Bought one a few weeks back, 65w fast charge is boss. Good upgrade from my pixel 2 xl, fingerprint reader worse than the pixel but other than that can't fault it.
Can also recommend this place for the silicon gel cover: https://www.gadgets4geeks.com.au/epages/shop.sf/en_AU/?Objec…
Was it the Optus one? Have you tried using dual SIM?
Unbranded from JB hi-fi. Physical dual SIM works well.
Then it's a different phone - only slightly, and those on Optus or their resellers will be happy with it - as long as they don't want or need dual SIM, but this one isn't merely "branded", Optus have a habit of ordering special models with band 5 [850] deliberately crippled. It's not such a major problem these days but those were bands that Telstra and Vodafone used on 3G, and Telstra are still using on 4G.
It would nobble Telstra's 4GX back to merely 4G, and its pretty much a bastard trick that they don't exactly publicise.
The Optus model is single SIM.
Single sim
dual sim
Anyone know how to get esim working ton these? Camera doesn't seem to read the QR code
Not the Optus variant. It probably has a dual SIM tray and the hardware but Optus like to cripple their gear just a little in case you choose another provider.

I can't see HN getting a different " Optus Variant" to Amazon.au…
Prob can also region unlock this phone easily (like the X2 pro)
No stock in South East Melbourne.. Might be hard to find at this price.
"Optus Variant"
So an Optus special order lacking band 5 then? One would hope not, but looking at the Amazon listing it does seem they also asked for a single SIM variant to be produced so likely.
So probably no band 5 and single SIM only…
Crap like this will continue as long as people accept it buy buying from the twonks.
I personally would hold out for the Samsung Ultra to come back to this price point. Samsung have their act together with quality and security and OPPO still aren't great (especially with security). I also found with my old OPPO that updates are lacking. I believe I got 2 or 3 updates in 3 years, whereas I seem to get 1 a month from Samsung (and will get 4 years of updates)
I grabbed one of these and had shocking issues. Phone calls would ring and the ability to answer them took like 4-5 seconds to appear on screen. Tested that tons of times and just varying huge delays. Brutal.
Notifications stayed on the screen for like a minute. Couldn't get rid of them. Including the system notifications on the bottom. Copy some text? 'text copied' sits across the bottom of the screen, and over the keyboard, for like a minute. Insanity.
Notifications. Constantly. Turn to vibrate and at least it's tolerable. Background processes would trigger notifications. The thing didn't stop beeping a vibrating. Like, when VLC is parsing the media index, it tries to vibrate for each song added. That's insane. It just becomes a dildo when it's trying to do anything, even background tasks.
The most bizarre phone I ever owned. Took it back within a week. Just an awful experience. The phone on paper is incredible - but if this is what it's like, it's an absolute nightmare device. Harvey Norman were super cool about the return though. Hat tip to that.
You can customise all of that within the Android OS. The notifications are highly customisable, there's the ability to turn off notifications within each individual app, make notifications appear but silenced, select different sound notifications for different notifications. Not sure if you're familiar with Android OS but the option to be able to do that is excellent, it just takes a few days of tweaking to get it exactly how you want.
I don't have the phone call issues you describe so not sure what the go is there.
I'm very familiar with Android. Notification options simply didn't extend to the bizarre things that made the phone go off. Turn off vlc - still buzzes during parse.
But yeah, the other issues were insane.
