    Repost
    This is the best Ozbargain price for this phone, makes this the best value phone 2020, IMO.
    Brought the A72 for $250 (128gb) from the previous post office shop deal, locked to optus.
    Some thoughts:
    - Battery is the best of any phone I had before (5000mAh and SN665). Easily two and half days of light usage, one full day usage. Switch on auto-sleep to save battery.
    - Camera is meh on stock. Contrast towards the blue end, low light is mid-tier level. Gcam is better, however buggy but workable. This is for the A72, I assume it won't be better on A52.
    - After 4 month of usage, no noticeable general slowdown yet.
    - Security updates are steady. Lets hope it gets at least another year. Usual track record of updates on non-flagship second-tier manufactures are not great.
    - People thought this was a flagship due to the full screen and somewhat misleading multi-camera setup
    - Obligatory NFC and Band 28.

    Recommended few friends into buying this as a budget general phone, they all were surprised of the value. Comes with a clear TPU case and screen protector applied.
    As I don't game on my phone these days, this phone at under $300 exceeds all my expectations, even crazier value now at under $200. Won't be paying $500 for a Mid-tier-flagship-killer-hype phone no more.

    • ruthlesskid on 24/11/2020 - 20:41

      $199 was good to be true, I guess.

    • BigDaddy365 on 24/11/2020 - 21:20

      How would this compare to a first generation Google Pixel?

    • DannyBoy on 24/11/2020 - 21:26

      I disagree, last time the A72 was on sale I priced matched it at Big W and then stacked with staff discount to bring it down to $224.10.

      That would be a bargain considering its 128gb storage and marginally better camera.

    • steelpanther on 24/11/2020 - 21:34

      Yes totally agree. I just bought an A52 a couple of weeks ago when my Samsung S5 died. I really didn't have the funds to pay for another over-hyped over-priced Samsung especially when I never use most of the features. I just wanted a phone with a good battery, decent screen that would make calls and send messages and occasionally use Netflix/Stan etc
      It's been excellent so far, and battery lasts for days. I grabbed a cheap $9 wallet cover from ebay and now I'm happy.

      • corremn on 24/11/2020 - 22:18

        Did exactly the same thing (S5 replacement and $9 wallet cover). Very happy
        Never ever going to pay for a top tier phone again.

  • Pacify on 24/11/2020 - 20:11

    Well that sucks.

    Hijacking the thread a little.
    Can any Sage direct me how to unlock A72 (optus locked) at the cheapest and safest way?
    Many thanks in advance.

      Got a friend or family member with Optus? Get their details and try via the Optus website.
      If you find the web page doesn't allow the phone to be unlocked, use their chat service and lodge a call.
      About a week later you get the code. Then google a bit and find how to enter the code into the phone, took me a few different attempts before success. A bit painful but all very possible.

      • DannyBoy on 24/11/2020 - 21:27

        Excellent to hear. Did the staff member ask how long the phone was in use for ?

  • Clivey In Space on 24/11/2020 - 20:17

    What is "P/B" that's in the title?

      Oh that's price beat at Officeworks, I'll link to their price beat guarantee :)

    • silverrat23 on 24/11/2020 - 20:19

      Price Beat, or Price Match.

  • dheywood on 24/11/2020 - 20:28

    Excellent phone. I bought it a month or so ago primarily because I get patchy mobile reception at work and it supports VoLTE/VoWiFi with Telstra/Boost

  • keithality on 24/11/2020 - 20:29

    Anyone know how this would compare against a budget Samsung, like a A21 or A31?

    • Bigboomboom on 24/11/2020 - 20:40
      +3

      Better than A21, however A31 is much better overall. The P65 is actually better CPU wise (Cortex A75 and A55 vs aging Cortex A73 and A53 on the SD665), big AMOLED screen with Widevine L1 and generally better camera. Also more RAM & Storage.

      A31 however is a lot more expensive. Best price was $299 before.

      • keithality on 24/11/2020 - 21:16

        Thanks for the detail! Agree A31 better but is it double the price better…hmm.

  • hexapling on 24/11/2020 - 20:34

    Back to $249

    Link goes to $249

  • Aniseed Steed on 24/11/2020 - 20:35

    Does it have Gorilla glass? And how does it compare to Redmi Note 8T?

  • Punkboy on 24/11/2020 - 20:36

    Well done to those that got in.

  • Meg4 on 24/11/2020 - 20:39

    Damn. I was ready to buy the gift cards tommorow :(

    • Punkboy on 24/11/2020 - 20:41

      Lol, I was ready to buy now probably with hundreds of others.

    • pennypincher98 on 24/11/2020 - 20:43

      Still only $211.65 with gift cards tomorrow :)

      • Meg4 on 24/11/2020 - 20:46

        Eh I'll wait it out till Christmas or Boxing Day

        • baskinghobo on 24/11/2020 - 21:29

          Yea I might wait too. Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 also comes out very soon so it should bring down the price of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 8T/Xiaomi Redmi 9 NFC

    So why has it expired already?

    • kulprit on 24/11/2020 - 20:53

      Must have been a price error

  • randomusername2017 on 24/11/2020 - 21:20

    Don't suppose anybody has a screenshot @ $199?

    Thanks

  • OssieA on 25/11/2020 - 02:10

    technically $212.50 as you buy the giftcards in multiples of $50 or $100.

    • Tex Texan on 25/11/2020 - 14:19

      Bah… "UPDATE: cards not activate or not scanning/discount at checkout. Coles are pulling all cards out and refund. Some people reported some cards are fine. Wait until this is resolved. Such a shame."

      • Dotherightthing on 26/11/2020 - 01:13

        why dont just price beat with officework with screenshot provided above?

        • Tex Texan on 26/11/2020 - 03:05

          Officeworks won't price beat from a screenshot, they'll check the price on the JB website.

  • bhs on 25/11/2020 - 17:18

    Got one $199 at a local JB Store as they priced it at $199, they removed the wrong price tag after my checkout

    • pennypincher98 on 25/11/2020 - 18:00

      Haha that's awesome, glad you could still get the discounted price!
