    This is additional $300 gift card which I am assuming will be claimed after an order is placed.

    With JB you can get an upfront discount, lowering the cost of phone

    • Scrooge McDeal on 11/05/2024 - 08:49

      You are right, I didn't realize that.

    • Water Bearer on 11/05/2024 - 08:52

      Yeah all discounts only made in gift card form given after submitting forms. $500 off is a fantastic deal but only if you need something large from officeworks. Unlike the JB deals you cant use gift cards to get automatic cashback.

      • ATangk on 11/05/2024 - 09:05

        I think with the iPhone 15 preorder you had to buy it, then get a refund and buy again with gift cards.

        • luminair on 11/05/2024 - 09:51

          I am pretty sure they'll void the GC or reduce the gift card amount from the refund if you decide to do so, or else you'll get GC for free forever, which is pretty dumb.

      This works out well if you are self employed and put it through the books… Claim back the GST, and write off the full value before gift cards and you get the phone almost free before any actual trade in value of the old phone.

      • keejoonc on 16/05/2024 - 10:04

        The only problem with your plan is that you can't claim deduction for the cost of the phone in one go because it's over $300. It'll have to be depreciated over a period of time.

              @coast666: It you want good quality photos get a phone with laser autofocus sensor. The number 1 reason low end phones take terrible photos is because they are out of focus.

              For example the s24 Ultra, but not the lower models.

          • neonlight on 11/05/2024 - 20:19

        snapdragon chips are proven and the best for android

        • paloverde88 on 12/05/2024 - 10:47

          In Geekbench 6 multi-core, the Snapdragon chip is roughly 68% faster than the Tensor G3. The gap is smaller in single-core, but still meaningful, to the tune of 32%. In fact, Google's 2023 chip fails to even surpass Qualcomm's last-gen SoC.

          • neonlight on 15/05/2024 - 08:24

            @paloverde88: True however if you don't game and purely use it for browsing and photos it's fine.

            Also consider the cheap deal via HN optus before last October. Half the price of Samsung equivalent

    My Samsung S21 has an intermittent USB C port, so have been considering changing up. But I looked up on Moorup site and can't see the S21 range…

      Clean it

      • bassiveguitar on 11/05/2024 - 08:58

        It's a mechanical failure where it's lost its tactile "click" on the port (if you know what I mean) and the cables dislodge and fall out themselves.

          You probably checked this, but this is often caused by build up of crud so the connector never hits that clicky notch, and you need to scrape it out with something sharp and pointy. Sounds like you have checked that, but just in case :-)

            @Stevesie76: Update - I hadn't actually, but thought let's give it a try. Just looked up how to do this, and saw that the disposable plastic toothpicks are great at this, and oh boy, the crud indeed! Seems like this was my fix as my click is back!

            Thanks @Stevesie76 & @as01 for the advice here! :)

              @bassiveguitar: You can buy port protectors off Ebay for $2.

              Some of them have an adhesive patch to keep them and attached to the phone so you don't lose them

    TLDR: A safe bet for past Pixel users. A solid mid-ranger. Will be a tough decision between the 8 and 8a depending how cheap you can get them.

      At $550 + $200 GC (JB Deal) which makes it approximately $400 effective price it's way better than the 8 for me as it's almost half the price.

            @1st-Amendment: Headphones?

            • No lithium needed.
            • No throwing away good headphones that work.
            • No extra charging.
            • No 'aging' batteries causing waste.

            SD cards?

            • No need to serve media repeatedly.
            • No need to run a data centre for backups

            Proof is in the pudding anyway.

            In 2005, I was playing lossless music, watching movies, installing apps, controlling my appliances, and backing up my photos.

            Thats a huge amount of what people do today, all without megacorporations running millions of watts of servers, me drawing more watts to charge a 2nd thing, and without someone having mined more lithium.

            Ill be curious how many airpods are still 'perfect', not waste, in another 12 years.

            Same thing for people with "1TB" phones. How many people are still using those storage chips even 5 years later; processor might be 'slow' but odds are the NAND is still mid-life, if that, but can't take it with ya…

              @MasterScythe: Nothing you wrote showed any tangible change to 'the environment', whatever that is. First you need to define that, then you need to measure it, then show the impact.
              But it's never really about 'the environment' it's always just about virtue signalling.

              • MasterScythe on 12/05/2024 - 12:58

                @1st-Amendment: If you need a definition for 'Environment' and you don't understand how power generation\use, and waste management impact our (what word, do you understand?) 'Chunk of dirt we live upon' then there's little point trying to explain it.

                But since I enjoy wasting my time, the short version is:
                The less electricity we need, and the less waste we generate, the better it is for ecosystems (which means an interconnectedness of organisms) from which those resources are gathered.

                You can also microcosm it simply enough:
                In my house, I have a phone, an SD card, and a pair of headphones.
                If you take away the headphone jack, and the SD card, I suddenly need Internet, which someone needs to serve, and store the data. I need a new set of headphones, those will be wireless and contain lithium.
                If we assume the phone is a necessity of modern life - Then a corporation has just decided (by way of omission) that my working headphones and my SD card, are now 'waste' and in addition I require a 3rd party to achieve the same things I was already doing as a single entity.

                I dont virtue signal; I like me, I don't need others to.
                I'm also no greenie, I do plenty that's extremely far from 'Eco', but throwing away working things because a corporation encourages it, isn't my jam.

                  Which ecosystems specifically? Better how exactly?

                  Because this is easy to disprove by the simple fact that the most prosperous nations, that consume the most electricity, have a very strong correlation with 'better' outcomes.

                  I know this is counter intuitive, but 'waste' is not always bad. It depends on what it is and how it's managed, which is why I asked for details.

                    Which ecosystems specifically? Better how exactly?

                    All I can think of…. I'd be interested to see any example of an ecosystem that thrived where a mine site or garbage dump has been constructed.
                    Humans are often more comfortable, but thats just one organism out of typically thousands that reside in that area.

                    Better how exactly?

                    Closer to homeostasis for organisms within it.

                    I know this is counter intuitive, but 'waste' is not always bad. It depends on what it is and how it's managed, which is why I asked for details.

                    Come on, you're sounding silly. In this context, E-Waste, obviously.
                    And as someone who has worked in waste management, It's handled badly.

                    Just using myself, as an example; if I "upgraded" to this phone, and wanted to achieve the same outcome, I'd go from personally consuming -

                    • From: Phone, electricity for phone, SD Card, Headphones
                    • To: Phone, electricity for phone, SD Card (waste), Headphones (waste), additional packaging, wireless headphones (will they last 25 years?), electricty for headphones, Internet Bandwidth, Electricity to serve me bandwidth, remote servers, electricity for those remote servers.

                    With the exception of fecal, and food - which other organisms can thrive from; what other waste that we have control over is not 'bad'?
                    In what way is it beneficial?

                      Define 'thrive'. Australia for example has plenty of mine sites and we also have plenty of thriving 'ecosystems'. Contrary to the scaremongering of the Green Left, the Great Barrier Reef is in the best shape it's been since humans have been monitoring it.
                      This might shock you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24kGGAVDslE

                      It's handled badly.

                      By whom?

                      Waste is handled the best by countries with ubiquitous access to cheap and reliable energy. This is what allows us to spend less time hunting and gathering food, and more time on ecological causes. If you want waste to be handled better, then surely encouraging innovation and development the places where they do it poorly is the best solution?

                      In what way is it beneficial?

                      'it' meaning progress, is beneficial because it is what solves all the problems. By hand-braking development of new ideas and new technology will only limit human progress which is how we fix things.
                      We know how that idea works out, the Communists tried it and it failed miserably.

          I went to cancel and they offered me 50% and keep the plan.

          Costs the same as cancelling but i can do it over 24 months and i get 100gb a month plan free essentially.

            @Duff5000: Great deal. I would have done the same.

            The agent did try to put me on a different plan, but the overall amount was more like 1.1, from memory so I said just cancel it.

        • neonlight on 15/05/2024 - 08:39

          Yeah except I waited until I have the phone and cancelled it. I waited for a month to get the pro 256GB extra $100 and $30 or so plan/hold fee worth it.

      But then you end up spending $1600+ for a seemingly $599 device

    JB offered $330 for my pixel 7 and OW offered $385

    • slackme on 11/05/2024 - 13:24

      JB $95 and OW $135 for my ipad and I can claim $847 for TRS. Not sure which one is better.

      Yours will be cleaned up massaged and sold as new in Somali using UN funds or crims money and some cartel woman will be holding it in one of those 'business' party

        Wow that escalated

    $2 cheaper

    Shut up and take my money

  • slackme on 11/05/2024 - 12:31

    How much can you claim for TRS?

    • abs898 on 11/05/2024 - 12:58

      10 of GST on your invoice. In this case 10 of 847

      • ccir on 12/05/2024 - 01:14

        Divide the amount you pay by 11. So in this case $77

        • abs898 on 12/05/2024 - 07:28

          x + 10% of X = $847

    Aw. $0 for Pixel 3 :(

  • slackme on 11/05/2024 - 16:50

    Is Pixel 8a cases available yet?
    Edit, $49 from officeworks

    • xiaozaocha on 15/05/2024 - 15:46

      some cheap options from Amazon

    1. both OW and JB are on 10% off at Aldi
    2. check the trade in value on both platform.
    3. JB gives trade in bonus $300 beforehand as OW send voucher after they received the phone
    4. I traded in with JB twice and worked well. OW's provider seems more fussy than JB
    5. OW may yield higher tax benefit as the pay out amount is $300 larger

      Also OW trade in value is higher.

    • BinnyC on 11/05/2024 - 20:12

      How many jb cards can we use online to pay for purchase?

  • bondiben on 12/05/2024 - 20:22

    OW has an extra month to submit your trade, compared to JB.
    I was only able to use one gift card using the OW mobile website.

  • xiaozaocha on 16/05/2024 - 11:47

    just submit my $200 claim and waiting for the response.
