Anyone with JB vouchers, good opportunity for a phone with Updates till Android 21.
is the jbhifi version OEM unlock enabled?
anyone know when the deal finishes?
Officeworks finally dropped their price! Purchased last year for $797 so time to claim back the difference!
28 degrees price protection?
Grandfathered Coles MasterCard
Should I upgrade to this over my smashed up Pixel 6 Pro?
yes. worth it at this price
Reminder that the modems in these are trash.
How bad?
Do any of the later pixels do face biometrics faceID style?
I've got a pixel 7 and it's annoying being able to unlock the phone with my face but still need to use fingerprint reader for biometric authentication.
Only the 8 and 8 Pro I think. They still don't have IR cameras (only the 4 had), but they're confident enough in the optical camera + AI to use it for general purpose authentication.

Important: On Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro only, you can also use Face Unlock to verify that it’s you, like when you sign into apps or approve a purchase.
arghh! I bought this last week for $897 from JB, anyone know whether they'd honour the lower price and give me a refund on the difference?
Awesome, thanks.
JB has a price protection policy 14 days to pay you the difference. I have used it once before..
This or IPhone 14?
My iPhone 12 mini seems to be dying, I don’t need a fancy phone but seems it’s time to upgrade. Obviously, sticking to Apple eco system would be easier.

I think you just answered your own question.
Anyone out there had issues with their Pixel 7? The missus put the latest software update on hers and it's borked many things, including the camera and bluetooth. Trying to decide if it's likely to get patched out in the next update or to just factory reset it…
Am using one to type this, no issues with it and it's a refurb
Which update? Android 15? No issues for me for that one.
Is this worth the upgrade from pixel 6A?
I find my 6a is getting sluggish and photos don't seem to be as clear
It is a good update ☺️.
Yep! I just upgraded from a 6a. camera quality alone is worth the upgrade for this price I reckon.
Does anyone have a comparison between this and the moto edge 50 neo?
Thanks! My gf's pixel 5 was getting a bit long in the tooth and this price was low enough to bully her into purchasing. She uses her phone all day for work and it was regularly close to empty by COB
Moving from pixel 5. What do you recommend Pixel 8 or Pixel 9?
I too am on same boat but my pixel 5 battery is crap. Also thinking if just hold out for Samsung announcement of s25. If all devices have snapdragon, i might go back to Samsung
256Gb is only $100 more expensive if you look for double the storage. https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/google-pixel-8-5g-256gb-o…
Really happy with the Pixel 8, upgraded from the 3a in March last year and it runs super smooth, hasn't had any glitchy/big error and have dropped it several times with no case on and has barely made a scratch on the screen.
Would definitely recommend at this price.
@mmd: There used to be some but now seems all gone off the marketplace. Pixel 1 is getting too cheap and not worthy selling it anymore?
