Let's be honest, almost everyone has willingly given as much away to Zucc/Google/Bill Gate$ as the CCP will harvest from you
Slightly different teams there though
@FKG: Your personal data is of no difference to a piece of junk… Analyzing data would be at some labour cost and obviously you dont worth that much hassle.
I am in Victoria, so we are part of China anyway;-)
Communist government
Don’t know about that, but with China actively avoiding our exports, I can’t see why I should be buying Chinese company products for entirely discretionary purchases.
One of the most amazing phones of recent times
Definitly is, pity banned by Google, otherwise I will swtich all my managed phones to Huawei.
No Google's issues with p30 I've used with Google Play
I will stick with official support, it's not just 1 or 2 phones, not worth the time.
@leetec: What are you talking about? The p30 pro was the last officially supported gms phone from huawei
@superroach: P30 Pro here, best phone I've owned. Everything works.
The only reason I haven't upgraded to a newer model is the google ban :(
@John Doh: Oh yeah don't get me wrong, I'm very happy with the P30 Pro. No plans to change phones. The only temptation would have been a newer Huawei.
@superroach: I was after the newer model as P30 is old. I know P30 work fine, two pro two none pro around me.
@FKG: You should have known that the 'Spanish Flu' does not originate in Spain. Stop talking shit and learn something PLEASE, anything.
I have had the P30 for a year and it has no problems with Google Services and I am still getting regular updates. It is on the Huawei site as receiving Android 11. Cheers
Not as cheap as bf but still a damn good phone.
How long until this is $399?
Never?
This will probably stay on longer as its thier last google services supported phone. Not sure whats gonna happen now that Trumps going down.
It was $399 on Huawei ebay store yesterday until they took down the ad today. Apparently due to a price error.
Something to think about when considering products from such companies… 996 Culture , I’m sure I’ve bought stuff from such companies but something to consider going forward.
i just read that too today…
Yeah nah no one cares about that. Even with the Foxconn suicides in 2010, Apple is still making a killing
Apple also knew of child labour and did nothing about it for 3 years.
Premium pricing yet much loved on ozb. Youfoodz though? Evil company that used to get downvoted to oblivion. Really interesting.
It's even worse with Foxconn, unless you want to pay $3000 for a phone that made in Oz if that ever happens
Yeh unfortunately it's the down side of accepting that corporations need to make billions in profits and can only do that by either charging consumers exorbitant amounts of money for a product or take advantage of less fortunate workers.
They do both!
@Headless: Lol well they charge whatever consumers are willing to pay I guess … so that’s on us as well as the companies
Even if its manufactured in China or India, people still dont have to work 9 to 9 and the companies can still make a very good profit. 9 to 9 is suicidal. If I work 9 to 9 for couple of days, I will probably leave early the next day.
And by leave early you mean out the twelfth story window.
Wish Biden removes the ban on huawei. Samsung became monopoly and making their devices more expensive and less powerful and less quality. They need serious competition in the race
Yep I much prefer Huawei phones. Shame this is the end of the line for most. Very happy P30 Pro owner here but I'd love to upgrade to the P40 Pro Plus… I'm giving thought to just ditching Google and doing it, will see what the P50 Pro brings to the table. I'm already ditching Google Photos so I'm slowly detaching myself from the Google addiction.
Yeah, hard to ditch Gmail since I use SSO a lot 😔
There are heaps of android phones.
Pixel, sony, lg etc
Their yearly sales are not even close to what samsung monthly records
Pretty sure Xiaomi and Oneplus has similar sales combined.
Agree Samsung sucks now
Pretty sure Xiaomi and Oneplus has similar sales combined.
Well they are dumping specifically and yeah I know no one give a crap as long as they have a cheap phone!!
Of course they get sales figure if you sell a SD888 phone at the same price as a SD865. They also have the government drumming up support of made in China product and people actually follow and support in contrast to here where we lobby to be careful of China product that often ignored.
Too bad P30 Pro last phone officially supported by Google apps
Heads up this is the single SIM variant, which was $838 when the coupon got posted, and the dual sim was $858.
Now this is bumped up to $888 and the dual sim is nowhere to be found. Kinda dodgy imo.
Thank you, almost ordered
Yep, don't understand why this is a deal. Mobileciti have price jacked.
Amazon have the dual sim for $899 FYI. Standard price. This isn't a huge deal then

Same here
EDIT: appears to be working now
Cheers. Page still hangs when adding to cart
buhhwhy
Because China has “banned” our export products with a long list of spurious reasons?
don't know that opening the biggest New American Military base in the Southern Hemisphere is a spurious reason except u think it is…
@petry: Come on, the real reason is Scotty from Marketing opened his mouth and suggested that the origins of Covid-19 should be looked into. So now our beef, fish and wine exports etc are closed, our coal ships are banking up off their ports, and their students are being discouraged from coming here. They still want our iron ore though.
I reckon you would have to be pretty obtuse to think that is all OK. And in regard to the US base, why not introduce the bans years ago when it was announced? They are 14 bullshit reasons and you know it.
@entropysbane: So according to you we should just do what ever the CCP say? Like those labour D heads. Dan Andrews for one!!
I have a better idea, why dont we scrap all the free trade agreement. You want our iron ore and coal, you have to buy our agricultural products too…..
@syswong: Definitely not. In fact we should grow a pair. And that means at the individual level, not buying discretionary products from Chinese companies.
@entropysbane: 350 million just approved to build it in latest american defence bill….. we are now an official aircraft carrier for the US - Thanks johny and scotty…. dunno why anyone thinks China's annoyance is personal …. Scotty hated them when he was elected and that's why he was elected…. can't see indonesia being very happy either but hey yanks ain't bothered about them so irrelevant…
@petry: I actually fully support a US base here. And even if you don’t, it is none of China’s goddamn business.
@entropysbane: I would never have guessed, so when the rapes and murders of australian women and children begin its good to know you support those as welll….
@Willco88: big american military bases are invariably accompanied by rapes and murders by us service people - its a fact.
calling me paranoid is just you personally attacking me, because facts get in the way of your agenda.
@entropysbane: generalisations are normally based on facts so clearly you both support the inevitable rapes and murders of Australians by US service people in the imminent future - there is no independent Australia anymore ….. just a yank military outpost.
@Willco88: I'm not - nice try at re-writing the consequences of building a new 5,000 strong American military installation in Australia….
@Willco88: really -Was this new large military base ever publicly discussed at the so called election?
you know the one where the liberal bought votes….. it was done deal by Scummo and his yank backers… hence no attempt by his yank backed government to ever talk to China long before covid..
@Willco88: being a military base means you're a military target - that now applies to both Indonesia and China.
there is no independent path possible now for Australia - we are an American vassel state - a decision made without debate or discussion by self interested corrupt politicians who sold out their country for $
maybe if you were better informed you'd grasp the consequences long term but in the interim expect falling standards of living, reduced health care and public services, higher taxes for the lower and middle paid, and falling standards of education which are already evident.
@petry: We are not vassals. We are cousins of the Americans with more in common than any other nation. I know whose side I would pick, and I know who the Americans, even in a world of realpolitik, would pick.
And why on earth should it be about picking a side in the first place? And why would having a base make us more of a target? Are you saying the Chinese think we are a target? Why should little old us, or even the Americans for that matter, be a target of some particular country? Are there people with real expansionist plans about?@entropysbane: yep we are vassals, you need to point out when this new base was discussed at the last election …. on top of that you seemed to have missed trumps entire residency where the american empire was deemed superior to all other countries…. and its laws overrule everyone elses.
I am just amaze at the rate people here down vote the CCP comment. This one will suffer the same fate no doubt.
Apparently many OZB are willing to trade cheaper products (or so call competition) for our country.
When will people wake up and realize CCP is dumping products to the world? Look at the pricing of MI11, how can a SD888 phone be that cheap? Its not healthy!!
Smartphone market had always been monopoly market with only one or two company, an I am all for Apple and Samsung!!
Also let me remind you that Huawei is actually not really that good, I have a P30 (my last china phone). The camera is so inconsistent. The same issue with the newer phones and they cost more less the same as Samsung and Apple equivalent. I will happily pay that little more to not support a company that is own by a brutal government.
Most people are vocal and all, but at the end of the day will vote with their wallet.
People won't pay extra(it is Oz bargain after all) as they want to pay lowest possible for maximum bang for buck.
It's hard for electronics, but you'll noticed most are slowly becoming made in Vietnam, Malaysia, etc.
Its about educating our fellow citizens.
Dont just buy without thinking where your product is from, how its made, etc.
If people know that they are getting a cheap phone because of slave labour? If they know & still buy its up to them. All we want is the consumer to know the facts before buying.
We want a smart consumer.
ah you remind me of the guy with the megaphone at townhall station in sydney bellowing "the end is near"
NOBODY CARES, this is ozbargain so we're all here looking to save money wherever we can, there's no reason to pay Apple prices if you don't have to, and trying to boycott China will put us back 100 years
no you want to win america's war on china like a good fox viewer…
Pay less to be spied on or pay more to be spied on. Your choice I guess?
I, for one, welcome our chinese overlords.
I'm with ya mate.

enjoying my new Mate 20 more well-rounded than this hehe
Same My Mate 20Pro is amazing, almost 2 day battery life and fast charging made it an awesome buy
Yup still have my mate 20x. Still no 7.2" phone on the market to replace this.
It probably needs to be replaced though, due to no security patches…plus I'm itching for a 120hz screen
EMUI 11 is rolling out soon, perhaps it will include sec.Patches
Yeah a 90hz or 120 would be the next step for me, but not for a while as I just got it brand new :D
This phone just has everything else!!
(HPjack, IR blaster, FM radio, big 4000mah batt / Fast-charge, DualSIM / Expandable storage, stereo speakers, LED notifcation, B28, IP53, came with pre-installed Scr protector & gello case;
just missing Wireless charging, 3D face unlock, 5G, IP68, OLED/AOD)
