    this or 9a?

      This, better camera

      • Kapinny on 11/04/2025 - 23:18

        heard the battery is pretty average..

        • Oh Daddy on 11/04/2025 - 23:43
          +1

          But we haven't heard anything about the 9a, could be crappier. Google couldn't even launch it on time

        • Undercut 2241 on 12/04/2025 - 09:13

          If you switch to 4g only and don't use 5g on the sim, the battery is improved decently.

    • kizzy on 12/04/2025 - 07:21

      I have pixel 9 and pixel 8 pro. I prefer the 8 pro by a mile

      • yippy on 12/04/2025 - 07:24

        Why do you prefer the 8 Pro over the 9?

      • Kvothe on 12/04/2025 - 09:00

        Why?

    • eruption on 12/04/2025 - 10:46

      9a will have the upgraded G4 chip, slightly better battery life and smaller size. The negative side, 9a has 8gb ram as opposed to this having 12gb ram (12gb is overkill for standard day to day usage)

      If these were at the same price, I would go for the 9a

      • mickeyjuiceman on 12/04/2025 - 11:06

        Agree with this analysis

      • happydude on 12/04/2025 - 14:15

        I think we need camera reviews to be able to properly compare.

    • CHUNITHM Luminous on 12/04/2025 - 12:09

      Probably better to wait for Pixel 9 to be around this price since 8 Pro and 9a both have the same crappy Exynos modem 5300 so battery life is usually quite crap and you may experience connectivity issues. Pixel 9 has 5400 which is far more efficient and has relatively few issues.

      • mick1 on 13/04/2025 - 13:31

        And for anyone who wanders the desert, 5400 modem can do satellite SOS but 5300 can't.

    Don't forget to use discounted gift cards to pay for this. $15 off for a $500 purchase at the very least takes the price to $740 after the bonus HN gift card. $730 if you paid the whole thing in gift cards.

  • ThePasserby on 11/04/2025 - 23:23

    So that's basically HN refunding GST in gift cards.

    • spaceflight on 11/04/2025 - 23:25

      No it's HN giving you 10% back in gift cards

      • ifreddo on 11/04/2025 - 23:39

        It's definitely a 10% cashback in the form of a HN gift card.

    • shiny1 on 11/04/2025 - 23:27

      Yes it's HN giving you 10% back in gift cards.

    • timthetoolman on 11/04/2025 - 23:30

    • jumpingwillow on 11/04/2025 - 23:31

      I think it's 10% back in GCs, you could book a trip to Bali and get 1/11th more back

    • sekhon147 on 11/04/2025 - 23:33
      +1

      No I think that's a 10% cashback in form of a HN gift card.

    • ratman on 12/04/2025 - 06:49

      No, a GST refund would be slightly less

  • Oh Daddy on 11/04/2025 - 23:45
    +4

    Or you could just buy it from JB with 10% upfront discounted gift cards and not be stuck in the cashback 10% loophole where you are forced to spend with HN within 30 days.
    Of course HN is the only one with black in stock.

    • aNoPHeLeS on 12/04/2025 - 08:14

      Where's 10% off gift cards?

      • shxhshzhz on 12/04/2025 - 15:18

        There are no 10% off gift card deals available.

        • Oh Daddy on 12/04/2025 - 17:17

          Not at the moment. But you can still get 20x Everyday rewards. I would rather spend my 10% cashback on food than Harvey Norman

  • pipe on 12/04/2025 - 07:52

    Is it normal for a 1.5 year old phone to depreciate 49%?

    • WatchNerd on 12/04/2025 - 08:15
      +10

      I guess they shouldn't pretend it cost that much to start with.

    • Secret ID on 12/04/2025 - 08:22
      +1

      Yes. Phone these are launched with ludicrously inflated RRP, so these can be "discounted" to make you feel like you're getting a great deal!

      Look at Samsung, you can grab a flagship phone for almost 50% off RRP within the first month of launch.

      Consumers seem to forget how much power their dollar has. We keep buying these, they keep jacking up the prices.

    • richmond12 on 12/04/2025 - 09:00

      Really hurts any resell factor

      • serpserpserp on 12/04/2025 - 12:05

        Not sure what electronics holds its value after 1.5 years from launch. Maybe stuff in short demand?

        • bio on 12/04/2025 - 14:01

          Not sure what electronics holds its value after 1.5 years from launch.

          iPhones generally do. iPhone 15 is approximately 1.5 year old, and its usual price is still $1250 (launch price was $1500). I prefer Pixel phones, that's why I don't buy the latest model but wait until the previous one depreciates enough.

    • ab c on 12/04/2025 - 11:06
      +1

      Yes…price is governed by demand & supply.

      Demand is created by features, desire to consume, paid/bias-reviews, peers/friends influence etc
      Supply: annual releases of MANY brand-models.
      Supply ALWAYS exceed demand & hence price-drop: new( wait 6 mths?)…& used.

  • PriceSensitive on 12/04/2025 - 08:11

    $1699 normal RRP is a bit ambitious..

    • ab c on 12/04/2025 - 11:21

      Have a look @ iPhone…maybe slightly-better software & hardware, but the PERCEPTION of value is BIG, imo.

  • Seaword on 12/04/2025 - 08:24

    I have this phone. Really not happy with it. Camera is great, other wise I find it buggy and suffers from occasional crashes. The back swipe works poorly and its warm after a few minutes of use. In hot weather it gets quite hot.

    Was a Samsung person for years and went to this for the price. Big mistake. Next phone will be Samsung.

    • cheapestfella on 12/04/2025 - 10:39

      Glad to see someone have the same experience as me! Love the camera (it's great for just taking quick photos without stressing about settings or lighting), but I've found it regularly struggles processing stuff and does occasionally crash. Performance is really poor. Will also be returning to Samsung.

    • Maths Debater on 13/04/2025 - 08:40

      A glorified Exynos chipset will do that.

  • chan1 on 12/04/2025 - 08:51

    I saw this on ABC News: "Trump's tariff war could see cheaper phones, cars, and electronics in Australia." Still not sure how accurate that's going to be.

      I'll take this with a big lump of salt. It'll more likely go up.

      • nitens on 12/04/2025 - 11:41

    128gb storage should be illegal

    • Bromad on 12/04/2025 - 08:58

        • Photos and videos on device (in addition to cloud backup) means no buffering when trying to locate a specific photo from a few years ago when trying to show to your ADHD friends
        • Paying extra for cloud storage (200gb is $45/year, 2TB is $150/year)
        • 128gb device storage fills up quickly (my 256GB S25U is already 45% full and I haven't even done much)
        • etc…

          Not to mention that you don't actually get 128GB, you'll actually have about 100GB or less of usable internal memory due to the OS.

      Tensor chip is really crappy in performance. I would take mediatek over tensor any day.

      • 11112007 on 12/04/2025 - 12:41

        Depends what you need from a phone. If you are just doing general tasks like web browsing, messaging and taking photos you wont notice much difference between a Tensor, Exynos or Mediatek. But if you use your phone for gaming or heavy photo editing you will. I run a 9 Pro, S25U and S10 Ultra. So ive got all three chipsets!

        • salin on 12/04/2025 - 13:01

          exynos is shit as well. Samsung only fed that shit to low competitive market.

    This or 256gb galaxy s24 for $750?

    • 11112007 on 12/04/2025 - 12:42

      S24 is a smaller form factor, 8 Pro is larger. This has half the storage but takes better photos. You are going to have to decide yourself what you want and dont want.

  • bcYield on 12/04/2025 - 12:59

    9a with 30hr battery or 300hr on extreme saving, wireless charging, and 7yr warranty should enough to cover the needs for average users on a budget price.

    Worth noting that the gift card is only valid for one month from the date of issue, as shown on the home page.

    • 11112007 on 13/04/2025 - 08:42

      You can use the gift card to buy another gift card that's valid for 36 months.
