    Ah, this came down since Moto Edge 30 Ultra just released with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1

  • danielblue on 10/10/2022 - 19:23

    Snapdragon 8 gen 1 processor, only downside is that it's too fast.

      If bought from JB , should be able to do partial refund due to price !

      • RetroMetro on 10/10/2022 - 19:54

        Is that a JB policy? Do you just walk in and ask for partial refund?

        • Cyterg on 10/10/2022 - 20:11
          +6

          Yes, in my case I ordered online so I contacted them through the support page around two weeks after I ordered it, and they gave me the partial refund for the price drop. I'm not sure how it works if you ordered in-store. JB Hi-Fi's page doesn't really have any information on this, so I was surprised when I actually got the refund.

    • Arpan2468 on 10/10/2022 - 21:11

      I have tried to get the difference refunded in the past. It worked for me. They might refund the difference as gift card. Try your luck.

      • RetroMetro on 10/10/2022 - 22:41

        gift card is better than nothing!

      • xoom on 11/10/2022 - 01:32

        The refund in price difference is based on how you paid. If you paid in gift cards. You get refunded in gift cards. If you paid by bank card. Then the refund gows to your bank account. If you paid with cash which was my case. They hand you the refund in cash there and then.

    • Enjoyer on 11/10/2022 - 16:43

      Me, same.. bought it only a week ago, but I got $200 back today. Thanks to JB's 2week price guarantee. (Was in-store purchase so I had to go back to the store to put the refund through the same card I used) At $499 this is a steal. Great phone.

      • RetroMetro on 11/10/2022 - 16:47

        Deal ran out today and they didn't let me have the $200 partial refund

        • Enjoyer on 11/10/2022 - 19:40

          Oh.. that sux… Did you buy in-store? if yes, you can perhaps try different store.
          And, Did you buy more than 2 weeks ago? If yes, it's just tough luck.

  • Megametro on 10/10/2022 - 19:40

    Was $999??? The link says was $699. $200 off. Maybe update the title

    • BargainsGrabber on 10/10/2022 - 19:41

      Page 7 of the catalogue says $999

      • Moderatoralvian on 10/10/2022 - 19:52

        Let's stick to the current "Ticket" price as displayed on the web page, instead of digging through historical records. That catalogue price is supposed to expire today so it is likely invalid after close of business.

        • Dienk on 11/10/2022 - 04:16

          I have Just got one

    • Froot Loops on 11/10/2022 - 00:04

      The normal price was $999 according to Edge Shopping

  • Rafski on 10/10/2022 - 19:57

    That's a good deal, but still only about $100 less than a Google Pixel 6a which is probably a better buy (at least in terms of updates).

    • COVID-19 on 10/10/2022 - 20:02
      +6

      Pixel will definitely have better / more frequent updates.

      I have the Pixel 4 which is close to 3 years old now and its still getting updates.

      I purchased the Motorola Edge 20 Fusion a few months ago from JB, for $249 and it only just last week got Android 12 update. Having said that, the Motorola is a very good phone for the price. Stock Android which aligns it to the Pixel phones.

      The only downside is that it is missing some of the Pixel features, like car crash detect and the answer for me feature when SPAM is detected.

      • thangcuoi on 10/10/2022 - 20:22

        According to The Verge and other sources, your Pixel 4 has just received it's last guarantee update.

      • love2buy on 10/10/2022 - 20:59

        Pixel is missing the chop flashlight feature.

        • looky-here on 10/10/2022 - 21:33

          I went from a moto to a pixel, I missed this feature so much I implemented it in tasker

          • harro112 on 11/10/2022 - 17:07

            @looky-here: how well did that work out of curiosity? have always wanted it on my S21…

            • looky-here on 12/10/2022 - 21:42

              @harro112: I would say it was about 80% as good as the Motorola functionality.
              Wasn't complicated either. If you want a hand though, happy to help

      • Fobsessive on 10/10/2022 - 22:39

        Edge 20 Fusion is basically a low budget device with limited software support. Can't compare that to a former Pixel flagship.

  • PerthectDeal on 10/10/2022 - 19:59

    That is very good price, that spec and wireless charging under $500

      Camera great.

      Battery below average, but usable.

        Are you describing the s22?

        • MasterScythe on 11/10/2022 - 01:01

          No, I wouldnt praise its battery that much.

  • silenthillrocks on 10/10/2022 - 20:17

    Pretty cheap for s22 equivalent

    Motorola's "Ready for" mode is great because it supports 4k desktop environment

  • Maths Debater on 10/10/2022 - 20:26

    Ouch. Sucks if you purchased the Edge 30 deal for $349 not long ago. Plenty of stock all around me. This will get even cheaper in no time. It really makes me wonder why anyone would spend more than $500 for an Android phone.

    • jolt on 10/10/2022 - 21:58
      +2

      I bought the Edge 30 and I love it, if I knew this was coming for just $150 more then I would have waited for sure!!

    • liongalahad on 10/10/2022 - 22:03
      +2

      To be honest, in my opinion the edge 30 for $349 is a better deal than the edge 30 pro for $499. That's 42% more expensive for a phone that's nowhere near 42% better.

      • dcep on 10/10/2022 - 23:50
        +5

        each to their own

        for someone who wants a reasonably decent camera phone
        paying $349 is a waste on edge 30 for that potato camera
        paying $150 more for this is definitely worth it

        Price/performance % ratio doesn't always dictates value in linear terms for every product category
        imagine applying that logic on graphics card

      • HomeAlone on 11/10/2022 - 00:15
        +3

        That's 42% more expensive for a phone that's nowhere near 42% better.

        Up to 150% higher performance in gaming at only a 42% premium. Maybe you just aren't part of the target audience and that's ok, but for those who do play games this phone represents incredible value.

        • liongalahad on 11/10/2022 - 23:54

          You got me there, I do NOT play games on my phone ever.

      • Enjoyer on 11/10/2022 - 21:18

        I needed a bigger screen, wireless charging and better processor, so at least for me, Pro version is way better (more than 42% for sure) because I can't find any phone under $500 that ticks off all these.

  • Namidairo on 10/10/2022 - 20:31

    Bit of a shame that there's no esim on there.

    Just a note that the 128GB storage models come with only 8GB memory options. The higher capacities have both 8/12GB options.

    JB don't appear to sell any but the 128GB though sooooo.

    • Fobsessive on 10/10/2022 - 22:42
      +1

      8GB is a lot for $500

  • mrvaluepack on 10/10/2022 - 20:34

    Edge 20 pro still more expensive lol. This one only has generic cameras and no optical zooms.

  • Zylam Marex on 10/10/2022 - 20:36

    Wow 8 Gen 1 for 500 and local stock. Not bad. I'll still stick with Xiaomi for the custom rom support but not a bad deal. Nice find OP.

  • aussieprepper on 10/10/2022 - 20:41

    The odd thing about the Motorola Edge 30 Pro is that it has 8gb RAM and 128gb storage, whereas the Edge 20 Pro has 12gb of RAM and 256gb storage.

    • a1b2c3e4f52002 on 10/10/2022 - 21:13

      I think the Edge 30 Pro 256gb version has 12gb of RAM

    • Fobsessive on 11/10/2022 - 00:32

      Hardware Edge 30 Pro budget cuts as the Edge 30 Pro is selling for cheaper than Edge 20 Pro

  • Misha Bakunin on 10/10/2022 - 20:54

        @fidelio What's the downside for the camera on the moto. I have an s10 and pretty disappointed with the camera from day 1. Especially low light performance. How would this moto camera compare to the s10

    Almost sound like pricing error too cheap to be true

    • BargainsGrabber on 11/10/2022 - 08:16

      It was actually the advertised price of $499 since JB mentioned it together with their after hours sale via the email newsletter

    • jolt on 11/10/2022 - 09:51

      It took a while for it to get from the Catalogue (6-10 October) until it showed up on OzB

      • HomeAlone on 11/10/2022 - 10:07

        The catalogue price was $699.

        $499 was part of the After Hours Sale and ran for 12 hours only. This deal was posted ~15 minutes after going live.

        • jolt on 11/10/2022 - 11:40
