      that's flagship, this is meh, mid range? different market.

      New phones will be a little bit more than $417 though…

          googling suggested ~850USD.

        • deadset on 14/10/2021 - 18:17

          $599

        • Mi2 on 14/10/2021 - 19:14

          6: $1250-1350.
          6 pro : $1550-1699.

            • Mi2 on 15/10/2021 - 23:00

              @cortex: That phone has nothing especial except zoom cameras and an unrealistic RRP. Everything else is on par with the rest of competition.
              Price for Pixel 6 pro is high but it would get lower but not as low as S21 Ultra.
              Samsung profit margin is even higher than Apple if they don't offer discounts because they produce most parts themselves, unlike the rest.
              So they can offer huge discounts without an issue.

            @relentless: It stutters loading random things. It's slow. It will run super hot for some crazy reason even when all apps are shut down. I just generally am not impressed.

                @relentless: Yep. Did all the normal resets to try and sort it. For something worth more that a grand, unimpressed. Luckily ozbargin got it to me for free on a Harvey Norman deal a wee while a go.

        iPhone XR? This deal instantly sold out so I wouldn't consider that the current price of the 4a. XR is selling for $600/$680 for 64GB/128GB @ JB Hi-Fi so it can kinda be considered in the same tier.

        • taki on 14/10/2021 - 21:54

          Pixel 4a is much cheaper with better features than iPhone XR (you pay for the label & inferior: screen, RAM, proprietary USB2 vs USB-C, & many other weaknesses)

        I'm honestly praying for my Pixel 2 to die when the 6 is released, just so I have an excuse to upgrade…

        • Nillionaire on 14/10/2021 - 17:10

          I broke my Pixel 5 and and did not want to fix it since the 6 comes out soon but I still need phone for the time being so I bought a brand new Pixel 2 XL and I'm going back and forth on whether I should buy the 6 or not….

        • rith on 14/10/2021 - 18:31

          My Pixel 2 is on its last legs at the moment. Battery starting to give out and I'm encountering more software bugs. Hoping to hop onto the Pixel 6 as soon as that's released (and hopefully that Google store promo code from a couple weeks ago comes through before then).

          • Munki on 14/10/2021 - 21:44

            @rith: Haven't had any software bugs myself, but agree on the battery being less than stellar now. Definitely won't last 1 day without charge. Mine's constantly charging though, so I make sure it's nicely topped up. Also, being in lockdown, it was pretty much plugged in all day.

            • Naigrabzo on 15/10/2021 - 09:15

              @Munki: Can't you just replace the battery? Would be a fun DIY project for the weekend.

      • shmingle shmongle on 14/10/2021 - 18:07

        lol that's crazy there are still active first pixels users, they must take good care of their batteries. I used the first XL until 2019 and have been of 3aXL since.

            I've been just paying for G-Suite for unlimited backing. Worth the $ I say.

    • LiteDough on 14/10/2021 - 18:05

      What do you mean longevity- some people are still using iPhone 7…no android can match apple software updates for longevity.

      But physically and functionally - it can last. And a lot of apps just need android 4.4 (2014) to run but something like Facebook needs android 10 (2019), so software updates might not be an issue, lack of security updates might be a concern depending on the individual.

    • OZTechGuy on 14/10/2021 - 23:40

      I think that'll be next year, rather you have Pixel 5a and 6/ 6 pro

      • 1st-Amendment on 15/10/2021 - 10:07

        Yeah they are unlikely to canabilise flagship sales with a just-as-good-for-most-people model released at the same time.
        6 months is enough to get the initial hype out of the way, release the budget model mid cycle which also buys you some additional brand marketing until the 7 comes out 6 months after that.

  • tempco on 14/10/2021 - 19:47

    Be aware of some older Pixel phones getting bricked unknown reasons. Don't think it applies to 4a, but definitely applies to the 3 and 3 XL.

    • cortex on 15/10/2021 - 10:02

      My pixel 3 bricked, sent it off to google and they sent a refurbished one back. Took about a week. It was sort of annoying not being able to swap it in a store and having to mail it off to Hong Kong, but they organized it all. I just had to go to officeworks and print a bunch of paperwork (annoying again)

      • gbodunski on 15/10/2021 - 13:22

        I'm guessing it was under warranty still? My 3XL bricked a couple of months back and it was 2 months out of warranty. Google wouldn't assist and just pushed me to their repairer.

    Has anyone found any stock for the $291 deal? I would buy that in a heartbeat, but everyone else probably would as well. I'm guessing they'll never get any new stock in so if they're out of stock then they just won't be selling this phone again?

    • superforever on 22/10/2021 - 22:06

        I guess I've missed out then, if there was ever any real stock to begin with at that price. I'll sit around waiting for another deal to pop up, hopefully there's still some stock in Australia than some business wants to get rid of.
