Repeat of an earlier deal this time in Indigo Blue only.

From the last deal:

Join JB Hi-Fi Perks and Get $10 Voucher (Valid for 28 Days, No Minimum Spend, Exclusion Apply) @ JB Hi-Fi

Seems the best phone around that price at JB HiFi but it would be nice if was cheaper given that the time available for Android updates is reduced by a few more months since then.

    The link says it was $319. They being disingenuous?

    • HomeAlone on 31/01/2023 - 01:46

      No. OP copied the title from the last deal.

      The regular price is $399.

      JB shows 'was' as the the previous ticketed price rather than the RRP.

    • Stingo on 31/01/2023 - 15:23

      So now they've increased the everyday price to $349. I wonder what the "was price" will be shown as in the next sale. Just for the record I'll confirm that I also saw that $319. I'll be interested to see comments about what people are able to negotiate the price down to.

    I was just repeating the deal text from the last deal. Seems likely they are. According to the Wayback machine it was $249 at least at store 41 on 30/6/2022 (blink and you'll miss it)

    Here's their standard disclaimer from their catalogues which I suppose gives them a get out of gaol card from the ACCC:
    "As we negotiate on price, products are likely to have sold below ticketed/advertised price in stores prior to the discount offer."

  • Wardaddy on 31/01/2023 - 02:06

    Right. Seems like a good deal at this price.

  • Sheep Whisperer on 31/01/2023 - 02:40

    great phone for the price, I bought one in sept last year because if was reduced to 199. Used a perks code to drop it 10 dollars.

      Lol don’t think it’s gonna be that low as that deal was a pricing error.

      Came for the g82 comment.. in all honesty, how is this phone worse than that one? I have both the g50 and g82 and dont really see much of a difference

      • xoom on 31/01/2023 - 07:58

        The amoled screen alone makes a big difference.

      • mitt on 31/01/2023 - 11:06
        +2

        G82 has a bunch of features the G50 doesent. Major one being the amoled screen, also has 30w charging, faster processor, more internal memory, covers a few more LTE bands, 2gb more ram. They look almost identical but the internals are quite different.

    i got this phone for 199 a few month back, its really good. lasts for 2 days on one charge and does everything just fine! i cant believe morons actually spend close to 1k on a 'flagship' phone

      2 days in standby maybe

      Funny that it's the first one to die in this test at just 5hrs and 30 mins..

      I can't believe Mormons try to compare these phones against flagship phones that get 2.5x the battery life :)

      Let's do a camera test against my 14 Pro Max. Maybe then you'll start to understand why lol.

    • Mrgreenz on 31/01/2023 - 11:34

      If it lasts 2 days on a charge and does everything "just fine" then you probably don't use your phone that much.

      Nowadays many people carry their phone 24/7 and are on it multiple hours a day.

      In such a use case spending 800 extra dollars for even slight improvements is not the actions of a moron.

      Phones would be the best bang for buck purchase 90% of people make, even if they are spending 2k on a flagship

      • kashirin on 31/01/2023 - 12:02

        carry phone 24/7 is a definetely sign of mormon

        wasting life on a stupid gadget is stupid by itself
        but paying 2k for "flagship" which will be outdated in a year is double mormon

        • Ti-au on 31/01/2023 - 20:46

          depends.

          Fold phone useful for lots of things.charts, spreadsheets, etc

          If it increases your productivity then its not double mormon

  • Usemame on 31/01/2023 - 06:05

    dem thats big

      not with the G82 they havent so not sure about this, tried my sim woudnt work. Went and got a $2 sim. Also didnt work. Have tried hard resets and firmware updates but still goes 5G to 4G to nothing within one second.

    Showing as $349 for me? Deal is expired?

  • IWantToRetire on 31/01/2023 - 07:37

    Bought this in the last deal, decent phone. Photos and vidoes are lacking a bit though, so we ended up upgrading. If you don't need a decent camera (and I assume gaming), then this is a decent phone.

  • fitzy87 on 31/01/2023 - 07:45

    I still cant get my boost sim running in my G82 5G but it works in my G9 Plus :(

      Cool, so you have a new phone that's not fit for purpose.

        correct, been a nightmare, was fine on Amaysim and ported to boost and tried everything from forums on whirpool. Purchased a new $2 sim and that also didnt work. Boost have sent me another sim to try as i read some people had done that and it fixed the problem. It is crap cause it works well in my old G9Plus but I of course want to use it in my new phone and switch to boost and have 5G.

    deal posted at 1am and according to above posts expired some time before 730am, sounds like BS

  • bmt216a on 31/01/2023 - 09:28

    I googled Moto G51 just now. It has a JB ad with the $199 price but when you click the link it shows as $349 on the JB site.

  • bmt216a on 31/01/2023 - 10:15

    It has since reverted back to $349 in the Google ad.

  • glee on 31/01/2023 - 19:21

    Anyone get a screenshot for claiming on 28 degrees price protection?

    I had my G51 with boost 5G. And be really happy with for 6 months if using. Very Good battery and solid build. Thus, I drop my s21 ultra at home and bringing g51 with me all the time. Well done Motorola.!

    Did anyone have a screen comparison between g51 and g82? Wondering if oled screen can bring any better screen display?
