    gah this came a day too late for me. I got a Xperia 10 V for similar money dammit.

    E. Mind you… seems none of these have a memory card slot - thats a must have for me. And it must be water proof. SO none of these would fit the bill. That makes me feel a bit better. I'm happy to trade a not as nice screen or performance for those 2 features.

    • Pavvvman on 20/09/2023 - 19:32

      Hey mate where did you get the Xperia from?

      • stumo on 20/09/2023 - 19:33
        +6

        Kogan/DSE. They are currently $530, but I had a gift cars as well to bring it down further. I hate spending more than $500 on a phone.

        • Pavvvman on 20/09/2023 - 19:37

          Cheers. Any idea if you get any sort of warranty?
          Kogan are playing the third party card.

          • stumo on 20/09/2023 - 19:40

            @Pavvvman: I used my citibank CC which provides me an extended warranty anyway, so I would just go through that.

            • Pavvvman on 20/09/2023 - 19:41

              @stumo: Great call. Thanks again.

      A better display isn't a feature for me, I turn off things for a better display like higher resolution and refresh rate to improve battery longevity.

      Dual Sim and SD card are useful though.

      An IR Blaster is crucial for me because I live away from home. Every workplace, friend, Air BnB has a different Air Conditioner, TV or whatever but specifically Split system air cons… 5 units in a single room to control the temperature of a server room and three of them are different models.
      I never need to find a remote or replace the batteries for one.

      Waterproof, dustproof IPX rating, etc never makes a difference once it's been in my possession for 6 months.

      • stumo on 20/09/2023 - 20:26
        +4

        Yep battery life is king for me too. I always enable battery save mode anyway, so the performance takes a hit. The 175hr endurance rating on the V10 should alleviate that though.

        For me ive had waterproof phones for over a decade, so ive gotten used to forgetting to take it out of my pocket when I jump in the pool lol. So thats a must have.

        For IR you could easily work around that with a $15 wifi blaster.

        • PlaunsJanus on 20/09/2023 - 21:15

          Like me suggesting an easy work around is to get an SD card reader.
          My limit on phone accessories is Bluetooth headsets.
          Not a fan of waterproof cases, charging cases dongles and USBC adaptors unfortunately.
          I have a few of them and I can't even give them away

          • stumo on 20/09/2023 - 22:17

            @PlaunsJanus: Sd card rwader is a bit different than an IR blaater though. IR is for some kind of fixed device like an aircon. So having to have a IR blaster positioned near a fixed aircon isnt much of an inconvinience, compare to having a SD card reader hanging off your phone while you out jogging etc.

            • PlaunsJanus on 21/09/2023 - 07:54

              @stumo: Bit of a misunderstanding here.
              I was referring to an IR dongle which would damage my USBC port if it was plugged in permanently. Which is quite inconvenient including the bulk or having to insert and remove it as required.

              What I think you're referring to needs a built in battery, a powerbank or to be plugged in, and a Bluetooth or wifi connection I think.

              It also needs to be setup in the line of sight for the infra red to work.
              I need the IR blaster in front of me with minimal setup or its a waste of time.

              I would be better off getting a 2nd phone for both cases as I move from an office, to a meeting room, to a lunch room, server room, control room, etc daily sometimes across multiple towns or suburbs. TVs, monitors, audio, computers and many other interfaces

              Wouldn't even use a dongle if I needed one just once a day. Because it's needed for about 10 seconds and fiddling around with accessories is a painful waste of time for me.

              Indoors, I only carry the bare essentials. Outdoors an IR blaster is useless.

              I understand the inconvenience of having a seperate device or dongle for music.
              That was my point.

              I've had a quick look at alternatives but maybe I missed something that's a game changer.
              If you know of any solution which might help me I'd be grateful to hear it.

              • stumo on 21/09/2023 - 08:37

                @PlaunsJanus: I was just meaning a broadlink IR blaster, which like you say needs to be plugged in and wifi. But htey do work very well though. I was thinking it was just for use while you were at home or staying overnight somewhere.

                I think the last phone I had with IR was a Samsung S4 Active. Even then the range was a bit crap.

                • PlaunsJanus on 21/09/2023 - 10:10

                  @stumo: Yeah it's a Chinese market thing I heard.
                  My Poco F5 and Huawei P30 pro have them
                  Both are dual Sim but only P30 has storage in the Sim 2 tray and is only 4G, no wifi 6. It's a bit dated

      • abowen on 21/09/2023 - 09:11

        My father needed IR blaster. Bought him a USB device. May be another option if happy to carry one around and open up your phone choices

        Completely agree, high refresh rates on mobile screens is nice but it’s functionally useless unless you plan on do pro gaming, which 99.9% of games don’t support higher than 60fps, no video playback does either.
        I would take more battery life over “smooth” scrolling any day.

      Xperia 10V ain't bad if the hardware features are a must have for you.

      Speaking for my own needs. Although a better SoC is nice. It's not really a big draw for me since I don't game too much and my phone needs are fairly basic.
      - Email
      - Web browsing
      - Messaging

      SD card support, headphone jack and water resistance is well worth it. Plus, you'd be part of an exclusive sub 1% club of people who have a Xperia.

      Couldn't you just place some thing cheap in the cart worth $1 or more to bring it to a $300 cart total?.

      For example could you put one of the Samsung Galaxy A14 cases into the cart. So there you have over $300 total to get the discount.

        • hollykryten on 20/09/2023 - 20:24

          That still wouldn't work for the discount in the online cart as it's 99c. It would be a $299.99 total which is 1c short of $300. You need exactly $300 or more for the discount to apply or else the electronic ordering system will knock the discount code back.

          I was saying above. With one of those Samsung Galaxy A14 cases well with the $30 discount you're basically getting the case for free with that.

          Edit: just found out that only the clear A14 case is in stock online. My bad.

      lucky him. Benchmarks vary across the internet but even if it's slightly lower, it doesn't make a difference for regular users, it's a very capable device for the majority. You even get a bigger screen and better battery life than the A54 (should easily do 2 days, maybe even more depending on his use). How many gift cards did they let you use?

        But total payment is $574.99. I need to enter both cards, one after the other.
        Entering the $500 one returns "payment declined" - because it only has $500 value for a $574.99 order.

      Edit 1:18pm - I think I messed up by initially adding the cards into Google Wallet as "gift cards" instead of credit cards. Might work now instore, maybe (never used my phone for payments before) - they'll probably call security when I show up for the third time clutching my phone and a printout of the gift card details.

        mobile wallet apps see these as regular credit cards. It should be ok

          In Google Wallet, I get "To use your card online, verify card info", which requires typing in the CVV (again) and clicking "update". This comes back with "An unexpected error has occurred. Please try later". Is this normal? Will it still work instore? I don't think I could handle another dry run to the store.

            @tightrump: I'm not sure but I'd expect no errors would be best. Have you tried Samsung Wallet if anyone in your household has one?

              @shxhshzhz: Just got back from the store - I was able to successfully buy the phone in-store using the 2x eGift cards (split payment) & Google Wallet, despite that "verify card info" message remaining for both eGift cards. All done, finally! Thanks for the replies, guys.

            @tightrump: Same. tried multiple cards, but same message. I think its only to use these online as credit cards.

        • EnALup on 24/09/2023 - 11:35

          If we add ultimate gift cards as credit card in google wallet, can we use these in any shops or these still are accepted in stores mentioned in the ultimate stores list?

    Thank you OP … have been umming and ahhing over this for a couple of weeks and finally bit the bullet before they disappear completely.

    The gift card process was pretty straight forward
    10mins for 2x e-gift cards to arrive via email
    Purchase first JB gift card with e-gift card, then 20mins to arrive by email.
    Then purchase second JB gift card. Did them spaced out to avoid any Riskified security errors.

    Then went instore to Belmont to grab the last one there with the 2 JB gift cards and perks voucher. No need to wallet add anything, just scan the PDF barcodes at the counter.

    The advantage to purchasing the JB gift cards is you can use them in multiples to purchase online, which i would have done if they found no stock in the store. So it's a good backup with stock levels being so low now.

    How come my Oppo Reno 5g a flagship phone in 2019 has 8GB RAM, the same as this? Would there be much difference? My phone works well still.

    • shxhshzhz on 24/09/2023 - 14:36

      if it still works well, keep using it until it dies. Reno 5G and Zenfone 9 are very different devices from different times. However, main advantages of the Zenfone include being the only compact android flagship in Australia, much newer Android (and security), much more powerful 8+ Gen 1 flagship grade processor, 120Hz screen, and possibly better battery life.

    Link for edge no longer works?

    • shxhshzhz on 24/09/2023 - 15:31

      such a cheap price must have cleared all their stock.
