While the RRP is not really a deal, the cat is out of the bag thanks to a bonus trade-in coupon of $250 at JB Hi-Fi starting on Thursday at 7am. (Get a trade-in valuation of $10 or more to qualify for the bonus coupon.)

This brings the price down to $499. Final figure may vary depending on the value of your trade in etc.
One would expect pre orders will also open around this time.
Charcoal, Sage, Chalk available.

    I'm an Australian permanent resident but UK passport. It says Australian ID required which I don't have. Anyone done this before and did it work? Or should I go in-store?

    • bex000 on 19/07/2022 - 23:13

      no can't get it working. License or passport… License because change address sticker on back is not included and passport apparently not very clear…

      • wendydendy on 20/07/2022 - 08:50

        Was yours non Aus ID?

      Australian driving licence should be fine

      • wendydendy on 20/07/2022 - 08:49

        I don't have Aus ID. I'm a PR though which is the requirement but so is Aus ID.

        • ShouldIBuyIt on 20/07/2022 - 16:46

          If you're PR then get an Aussie driver licence. Probably not in time for this deal, but why wouldn't you do it?

    420 trade in value for a s21 5g, is it worth upgrading?

    • giventofly on 19/07/2022 - 23:21

      Nope.

    • StarvingOat on 20/07/2022 - 01:07

      S21 5G will probably sell for $600 on gumtree and facebook easily.

  • XyukiAU on 20/07/2022 - 08:44

    Forgive my ignorance, but how does it start at 7am if the stores don’t open until 9am? If its online then how do they honour the credit and validate the trade in phone? Cheers

    • Oldgeezer on 20/07/2022 - 09:25
      +3

      It's a third party company working with JB Hi-Fi that handles the trade in, I believe the website "opens" from 7am. Once you confirm your phone is working and functional, they will then email you a gift card of the trade in value you agreed too. They will also email you a coupon for the extra $250 off which you can use in the transaction online. You then need to post the phone to Square Trade up who will then honour the credit. If you don't send your phone or if the phone is not what you stated, they will charge it back to your credit card.

  • FunkyPants on 20/07/2022 - 10:20

    Getting $130 for my pixel 4a 5g.
    Would it be worth shifting to 6a 5g at 749-250-130= $369?

    Also anyone knows 6a5g also supports unlimited google photos storage at normal res?

    • pyramid on 20/07/2022 - 10:22

      Why would you sell your 4a for 130$. I would give you $140.

        And are you also giving him a $250 voucher for JBHifi?

          he said yes

    • picket23 on 20/07/2022 - 11:03

      No unlimited storage.

      Would it be worth it? Wait for the full reviews and then you need to determine if the features that are improved outweigh the cost and whatever downsides come with the new handset. One thing that you are guaranteed to get is more future software updates and a new 2 year warranty. Other than that, if any of the upgrades are worth it is up to you.

      • FunkyPants on 20/07/2022 - 11:08

        Thanks !

        Probably will wait a little for the reviews. Also the current one is refurbished already as have claimed warranty on the original one so this is not bad at $369 with another 2 years of warranty for a new set.

      • BadAtNames on 20/07/2022 - 15:26

            @Windows98: That is noticeably different IMO. I fully back up anything I actually want, the things I don't are just memes and random screenshots so it doesn't matter if the quality dips

  • jpwwong on 20/07/2022 - 10:38

    Can someone explain why OP said phone price itself is not a deal at $749? Most places are selling it around the $1k mark isnt it?

    • Oldgeezer on 20/07/2022 - 10:48

      That's the Pixel 6 that sells for $999. This is a deal for the Pixel 6a which is a more budget version of the 6.

      • jpwwong on 20/07/2022 - 11:10

        ahhh got it - missed that.

        So the rrp for 6a is looking like it's going to be $749?

        • Oldgeezer on 20/07/2022 - 11:11

          Yep looks like it, $749 on the Google store as well

      • bazingaa on 20/07/2022 - 14:17

        There was a deal for Pixel 6 = $704 few days back, now it is $729 which could be a deal too

  • DeToxin on 20/07/2022 - 11:35

    I was kinda considering this until I read that it doesn't have wireless charging… that's a deal breaker for me because of how often I currently use wireless charging while at work etc

    • ShouldIBuyIt on 20/07/2022 - 16:54

      Maybe can consider this

      • dinglejerry on 20/07/2022 - 17:44

        Any feedback on whether these actually work well?

      • DeToxin on 20/07/2022 - 19:52

        That's a decent hack but I don't think it's worth it. I use an s10e at the moment and the only real reason I'm considering a new phone is for ongoing android/security updates.
        As long as I don't lose any features I would be happy, I also liked the idea of going back to "stock" android - at least not having the Samsung pre-installed apps when I end up using google ones anyway
        Edit: ufs 3.1 storage is the other reason I would like to get a new phone

  • chuntsman on 20/07/2022 - 11:46

    Hmmm I'm considering upgrading from my S20 Ultra. Will be $150 after trade in and bonus.. nothing really wrong with the current S20 Ultra, just figured I'm at the 2.5 year mark with it and might stay having some issues soon.

    Specs wise on paper it seems like a side step / slight step down.

    Anyone else changed from a higher end flagship like the S20 Ultra to the 6?

    Any thoughts on trading a Pixel 6 for this Pixel 6a? Or am I better off selling the Pixel 6 and buy this?

    I'm really struggling with the Pixel 6 size / weight, and I always like the "a" versions better. I had a 3a that I only stopped using because the screen cracked.

      and I always like the "a" versions better.

      Same here. The a versions seem to skip all the expensive stuff I don't care about and just offer a good value phone. They are offering me $60 for my old cracked 3aXL so add in the $250 bonus and that gets me a brand new 6a for $439.

  • HastaBanana on 20/07/2022 - 14:59

    Pixel 3 is worth $50 trade in credit. With $250 bonus, this is $300 total value.

    Pixel 3 is $200 from ebay. Could use this to achieve at least $100 saving from 6a if you have nothing else suitable.

    • TEER3X on 20/07/2022 - 16:56

  • l3wis992 on 20/07/2022 - 15:25

    I feel like a samsung a32 at the same pricepoint is better in basically every way except maybe waterproofing. What's the hype on these?

    • takutox on 20/07/2022 - 17:36

      5G support (the 5g version of a32 doesn't have as good of a screen and is TFT rather than AMOLED compared to the 4g version)
      Much faster processor and GPU
      Dust and water resistance
      Better camera
      Lighter
      18W vs 15W charging speed
      Supposedly super fast fingerprint scanner
      Apparently the screen on a32 is not that good despite 90hz and the high nits, people say pixels are better

      But yeah a32 slightly better batt life and headphone jack. And slightly bigger screen if that's your thing.

      I'd pick the pixel 6a over a32 just due to good camera and processor as well as 5g, noting that the 5g version of the a32 has a heavily downgraded screen

      I also like clean android rather than one UI.

      But both phones pretty good for the price range

      Wish 6a had headphone jack.

      I had some Apple Airpods which at the time were supposed to be quite good but they didn't come close to my $20 BT headband off ebay. And every earbud I've tried was even worse. Sure the headband looks ridiculous, but the fact that the speakers are firmly strapped to your skull gives great frequency response directly to the eardrums :)

    Pro tip: if you guys don’t have a phone to trade in for the bonus $250 credit, Telstra is currently offering it for $649 outright on their store

    Not too sure if JB can price match it JB won’t do it because I’m not a Telstra customer with an active plan (even tho I’ve an active Telstra ID from Boost)
