How can “students” afford these prices 😱
After all essential living and academic expenses, a nice phone is what many students spend on.
Obsidian is a classic but yeah I know a lot of people at uni that would instantly buy the pink. Porcelain is pretty popular as well. Google's going in a better direction in this regard but there are still gaps in the market, especially from Apple. It's very obvious to me that it's millennials and gen x-ers making colour decisions instead of gen z because look at all the missed sale opportunities.. I can't believe no one attempted a pink phone collaboration with Barbie last year, it would've sold so well, especially as Apple's mid cycle new colour release but oh well.
Apple is doing pretty well with Gen Z, and industrial design goes through a lot of market research. I can promise you the idea of pink products for women is not a terribly novel concept.
Good luck selling it at that price in this economic environment. I though google had data on this.
LOL I think you underestimated how much money people still have. There is a reason our inflation numbers have taken SO long to make any progress and over 30% of homes being bought in Syd are being bought in cash.
Also wait until next month when the new iPhone comes out. Millions will fly out the doors and thats > $2000 for a candy bar phone that is likely just a small update on the previous.
It helps to clarify what demographic is purchasing these houses with cash.
I don't think the countries on this list will shock anyone: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-06-27/foreign-buyers-china-…
But that's ok, as long as the government can think about their economy and keep making it difficult for actual residents of the country to purchase a property, that's all that matters.
The other factor here is the tax cuts that really don't help the inflation cause. Don't get me wrong - I'm enjoying the couple hundred extra I get each month now, but I would have much preferred that interest rates came down in the Sep - Dec quarter as most of the Big 4 banks and financial analysts were forecasting until those tax cuts came into effect. Now its very likely we won't see any rate relief until 2025
The Govt clearly opted for a 'sweetener' for people with an election likely in the next 12 months vs trying to help us overcome the inflation problem earlier and get those rates coming down ASAP. A real shame
@1r4n14n: I didn't neg your original post but I did this one. Caring, crying, confronting, and complaining about negs will always get you negged on the internet.
@Nillionaire: I think it’s cowardly that this site allows people to neg comments without forcing a reply. Anyway, I respect you for owning your neg.
@1r4n14n: I didn't neg you either but who cares man? Keyboard warriors are a big part of the internet. People who wouldn't say a word in front of you but are brave behind a screen. Just gotta not care
Thats the boogeyman Murdoch media wants you to fear. Do you really think $5B can have any sort of impact on the $10T property market.

You mean people's capacity to live beyond their means and cry when it comes all crashing down?
Folks,
a newbie here. do I need to join [UNiDAYS, StudentBeans] first to get a code?
When purchasing, straight from Google Store or through [UNiDAYS, StudentBeans] ?Yes, you need an education email address to join them first.
You then get a discount code that you use on the google store.
@ballistykx - I joined, got the code but when using the code on the store it says "Promo code doesn't apply. Check the basket and promo details". :-(
Just bought one for my brother, use StudentBeans instead of UNiDAYS - unsure why
Hope that helps :)
I'm hard working man and can't afford a student phone at this price…
how do i get this promo "10% back as store credit for Google One 2TB/m members"
Subscribe to a Google One 2TB plan
can i combine it with student disocunt?
Yes; I just did it. Student code is taken off straight away, 10% from Google One are credited after the phone has shipped.
Does this code only work on the Pro XL or can it be used on the basic model and smaller Pro?
it says "15% off Pixel Phones" - so presumably it will work with other Pixels on offering too.
It does.
Folks, anybody managed to get the promo code from Unidays to work?
I got "Promo code doesn't apply. Check the basket and promo details."I used StudentBeans instead of UNiDAYS and it worked :)
Why is pixel 8a not eligible for trade in?
Can you use gift cards to buy this? Stack up many google pay supported cards up
Can confirm Student Beans code works, Unidays not working
I cannot get Unidays working either
Confirming both cases. Unidays no go but StudentBeans wored.
how to get $450 store credit
Automatically credited to your google store account once you purchased.
Buy a Google Pixel 9 Pro XL.
"Pixel 9 pro is coming in spring"
Wait what? That's the one I've been waiting for, is it not going to be released with all the other pixel 9 models? This is very disappointing.Edit: is there an actual estimated date for the 9 pro?
No nothing official, a few unofficial account of "early October" for us in Australia.
I miss the days of Nexus pricing
I still got my Nexus 4 running - although I needed to change the battery.
Cannot even use it practically though :-)Lucky Telstra and Optus are delaying the 3G shut down, you can get a couple more months out of it now!
Yea pricing is high, always is when you don't include the voucher. That's just how google rolls these days to lock people in
Good value tho if you have a recent phone and want to upgrade. Which It seems is the way to go now to pay the least amount without having your phone depreciate into oblivion
If I trade in my P8 Pro for $850, with student beans discount and $450 credi. The P9 Pro XL 128gb costs $350…
Definitely worth getting th 256gb for an extra $50, that's still damn good value for a spec bump. If I hold onto my phone for another year it only depreciates to $300 if I'm lucky…
I think upgrade from 128GB (black only) to 256Gb is $150
When I had a look. The pixel pro 128gb to 256gb is $150 difference
But the pro xl 128gb to 256gb is only $50 difference 💁🏾♂️
Correct me if I read that wrong
What are the prices you are seeing?
I get $1,849 for the 128GB 9 Pro XL. $1,999 for the 256GB 9 Pro XL. Same $150 extra on all colours.
Exactly! it is kind of cheap to upgrade every year with Google
Although I'm staying on the 128gb because I upgrade every year, and don't fill it up.
Also it looks like the $850 trade-in for the Pixel 8 Pro does not account for the size.
On the UNiDAYS site under the Google page they have two different links, one was Get Now, the other Shop Pixel Today. The first one, which I think I clicked Get Now and generated the code it didn't work. I went back to the Shop Pixel Today option, got another code, this one worked. Hope that helps anyone having trouble.
Trade in a Google Pixel 8 Pro 128GB to get a Google Pixel 9 Pro XL 256GB for about $850 plus $620 bonus store credit.
How do you add the Google one subscription?
Just use the same email address to purchase if you have Google One subscription ( 2 TB +).
Wonder if it works if I go for the free month of the subscription
@Herbse: It does, that is what I just did. Hopefully I receive the store credit after the end of the free month, otherwise it's OK, I can pay for one month, still winning with the 10%
Yes, that's my plan and will use the store credit to buy my wife the non-XL Pro when it's released
lucky missus ;-)
Anyone know if these do USB c video out? Thats one feature I've been waiting on with the pixel phones.
I was very disappointed when I bought my P7P and found out that it cannot screencast to normal TVs. I bought a usb c to HDMI cable and it still didn't work. I searched online and the only way was to buy a Chromecast and bring it where ever I go if I plan on casting it to a bigger screen. Sad sad.
Google store has limited products. What are people using their store credits for?
Buy a Pixel 10 Pro XL?
Too much for a phone with a Samsung 4nm chip inside
Lol pricing is a joke.
Yeah its crazy we've hit this point. That said, Google used to sell the Pixel range at a midpoint between the cheap and flagship phones. Now they've upgraded hardware and made them flagship level, and unfortunately since they came into the market, Apple particularly has really taken 'flagship' prices from circa $1200 to > $2000. The jump from iPhone 14 Pro Max in 2022 to iPhone 15 Pro Max in 2023 was $1899 to $2199, a 15.8% jump in 12 months. That really continued the trend they've set of continually surging flagship phone prices
Especially when you consider that Pixel phones devalue so quickly.
Yeah though that might change once they become like other flagships in terms of their starting point and the rarity of significant discounting. For example, in the past we've seen deals like that Harvey Norman one last year where you could get the 8 Pro for $0 on the $69 plan. As these Pixel phones get more expensive and match the price point of the others, it might become similar in that regard too. You hardly ever see a flagship iPhone or Samsung phone being included at $0 on a $69 plan
Full price is a joke, and people should not buy it full price.
But with launch offers and all other offers through the year, it is not that bad.
does a new pixel come out every 6 months holly shit
Literally the 1st time it's been less than the standard 12~ months… But yeah, this time it's 10 months ~… Time will tell if this is a permanent re-alignment to get Infront of the iPhone launch or if it's just a one off and the replacement won't be here for 14 months ~.
Just confirming - that $450 store credit can't be used on the phone, right? If so, how are people spending it?
Buying/getting a good chunk off a 2nd new phone for a partner/kid or buying something from the store and selling it which would probably get you back less than $450 but better than nothing for some.
For me, I'll use it towards next year's Pixel purchase
Yeah, it's a smart strategy, kinda gets you "locked in" to buying a new one each year when you've got $500~ credit just sitting there… it just makes you go "I'd be silly NOT to upgrade for what it's going to cost me" lol.
The pre-order deals this time around don't seem that attractive, mainly due to the hike in price. Additionally what isn't shown amongst the launch hype is the modest incremental improvement in the Tensor G4 which is still way behind the competition before we factor in the next gen qualcomm chips are around the corner.
As much as I want to switch to Pixel, I simply don't trust Googles commitment to products and overall quality. I don't think this phone can position itself at the same level as a 15 Pro Max or S24 Ultra IMO.
Coming from someone who's owned the 5,6,7,8 before jumping across to Samsung.
Yeah If you don't have a few hundred $ of credit sitting in your google account from last years pixels then the deal isn't as good IMO. In your case probably wait till the 10 and see if google can pull a rabbit out of the hat with their first fully custom chip.
We all know this years chip wasn't actually planned and kinda thrown together last min as their custom chip wasn't 100% ready… which should bode well for the custom chip being good next year.
100% spot on,
I'm cautiously optimistic the switch to a full custom TSMC fabbed chip will bring this back in-line with the competition…. but remind myself it will be a 1st generation offering.
For the first time in a decade I will skip this phone and wait for the next.
You've been buying Pixel/Nexus every year for a decade?
Username also checks out haiyaaa
Username checks out
Does anyone know if I've been put on a family plan for Google One monthly T2B if I still get the 10% back, or do I need to be the 'plan manager'?
I'm still using a 4 XL, which was $800 on the Vodaphone deal.
Now $1500 wow.
Might need to upgrade to the Moto G84 then.
Insane prices for pixel phones, dreaming.
Why is the 1TB version only available in black
