Pixel 8 Pro 128 GB in bay blue from Amazon UK via Amazon AU. Limited time deal.
CamelCamelCamel.
Previous discussions suggest: probably.
Just did a quick Google search, and it's not 100% clear but people did say the UK requires phones to come with a 2 year warranty.
I also wonder about this working after the 3G network shutdown and the issues with overseas device compatibility.
Regarding bands, Australia gets the US model vs this, the GB model. Only a few different bands, none of relevance to Australia, is my conclusion.
What's relevant is whether the telco's deem it compliant or not.
@McFly: OK, good to know. But I assume this would not be a problem in practice for a popular model like this? Lots of foreign travelers would be using them on roaming I'm guessing. (Did not buy this phone in any event, waiting for a bit cheaper.)
@McFly: yes exactly - I have an E000 on 4G working phone that is junk because Telstra decided it isn't
Only downside is all the AI answers end with "init!" or "Guv'na".
Or call you a "Git"
and a chav will probably snatch it from you while you're on the tube
Every time you make a call it starts raining.
Hahahahaha!
freshen yer drink, guv'na?
Xmas boxing day sale is coming. Not worth it at this minor discount.
yea paid this price at launch
Just be very cautious buying imported phone, may get blacklisted by telcos
Mobile phones are meant to be portable everywhere, more or less, no?
Umm… yes, mobile phones are… phones that are mobile…
My MIL was over from the UK recently, she has a Samsung Galaxy A??.
With either a Telstra or Lebara SIM, each time she pressed send she would get a warning message about no emergency services.
Phone still worked in all other ways
Got the 9 pro for less. Worth waiting for end of year sales.
Where
JB
Oh are they likely to be a thing? About the same as the black friday?
Is this even a deal?
Name a better phone at this price?
The best GrapheneOS phone!
I mean, unless you can get a cheap 9 XL
I don't think they even have it out for 9 yet although surely will soon
It was already being tested on their Discord so I am pretty sure it is either close for release or you can be part of the testers.
Is 128GB enough though really? Where are you all keeping your files?
My 256GB Oppo has 230GB used.
Would this have a 1 year warranty instead of 2 like in Australia?
