While the RRP is not really a deal, the cat is out of the bag thanks to a bonus trade-in coupon of $250 at JB Hi-Fi starting on Thursday at 7am. (Get a trade-in valuation of $10 or more to qualify for the bonus coupon.)

This brings the price down to $499. Final figure may vary depending on the value of your trade in etc.
One would expect pre orders will also open around this time.
Charcoal, Sage, Chalk available.

            @dinglejerry: Receipt seemed legit. Maybe JB allowed the price match to be done in store, and not through the 13 number or the live chat

            I’ll give it another shot over the wkend

  • trawg on 21/07/2022 - 10:56

    Reckon it's worth it for a Pixel 4A (5G)? Looks like I can get $130, so $380 total. Looking online I was thinking I could get $400-$500 for it, but not confident, I don't want to go to all the trouble of selling and I only get $380 for it anyway haha

  • unaware on 21/07/2022 - 11:13

    Just wondering - when does the 7 day countdown for sending your trade-in phone start, as this is a pre-order? From the moment I order the new phone or from when I pick it up?

    • akent on 21/07/2022 - 12:04
      +1

      *Extended return times may apply with Prelaunch promotions.

      I figure this means they'll be a bit more flexible.

      • unaware on 21/07/2022 - 15:21

        Just emailed them to confirm, and quoting them:

        "As part of the Google Pixel 6A promo, we are allowing 14 days for customers to send in their device.
        This will start from the day the trade-in order is placed."

        So essentially 7 days to send it in if I pre-ordered it today and dont have a spare phone to use before picking up the new phone.

  • iTaco on 21/07/2022 - 11:34

    Can you trade in for the phone, purchase it then return it? Keeping the 250 bonus and whatever your phone's trade in value is. Assuming I'm still trading in my old phone.

    And then buy a different phone? Effectively just making the 250 bonus apply to any phone?

    • mouski on 21/07/2022 - 12:39
      +1

      no, the $250 works as a discount on the phone, so the receipt will say you only spent $499 so you would only be refunded $499.

      • ShoeyAU on 23/07/2022 - 05:19

        So on the flip side, if I don't send in the trade in my credit card will just be charged ~$150 (trade in value) but still get the $250 discount?

    • 1st-Amendment on 21/07/2022 - 15:55

      Can you trade in for the phone, purchase it then return it?

      I just bought one. The $250 bonus is a promo code bringing the price down to $499, so that is what you would get back if you returned it.

      The additional credit for your old phone is in the form of a voucher so you would get that back, likely in another voucher.

      • ShouldIBuyIt on 21/07/2022 - 18:01

        Does it appear as $499 on the receipt, or $749 with payment broken down as $250 voucher and $499 cash/card?

        Wondering if I could get away by claiming price protection?

        • cook99 on 21/07/2022 - 22:44

          • nickeveli on 30/07/2022 - 09:23

            @cook99: Wouldn't that cost you more than sacrificing the lower amount?

            I remember buying a laptop with discounted gift cards and sacrificing the receipt amount but felt I ended up worse off.

            I am rubbish at tax things though lol

    The problem is there are just so many many many 6a cases floating around.

  • Rambler on 21/07/2022 - 17:35

    I’m planning on trading in my Pixel 4XL but the 6a seems to be a step down in terms of the display.

    In comparison the display specs are:

    Pixel 4XL - QHD (3040 x 1440) @ 537ppi with 90Hz Smooth Display.

    Pixel 6a - FHD (2400 x 1080) @ 429ppi with 60Hz display.

    Also Motion Sense. The 4/4XL was the only Pixel to have the Soli Radar and it works really well, much better and with much more features than the current Nest Hub.

    I can accept no Motion Sense, but will the reduced resolution, pixel density and refresh rate be too noticeable to use in comparison to the Pixel 4XL?

    Thanks

      You're comparing a flagship vs low cost. Prob best upgrading to P7 and avoid "a" versions.

    • Zippy7 on 21/07/2022 - 23:12

      I have a 4XL too, but was looking for a $10 trade in device to get the additional $250.

      Don't forget the new phones don't get the unlimited compressed photo storage - I think 6/6a gets nothing.

      I'd be keeping the 4XL and then transfer from other device to 4XL to upload (seems to be the way to go per google searches)

  • dinglejerry on 21/07/2022 - 20:09

    At around 360 for a trade in of a Google pixel 4A seems like a pretty good deal? I might go for it

  • cook99 on 21/07/2022 - 22:40

    Does anyone know if the Tax invoice for the phone will still show full cost of $749 even if using trade in credit towards purchase?
    I want that full tax deduction 😉

    • stalker878 on 24/07/2022 - 10:00

      it will show the cost after the trade-in value is deducted (before $250 is applied).

    • spamus on 25/07/2022 - 14:44

      If it's like the S22 I bought at JB Hi-Fi, the tax invoice of the phone will show the cost as $499 ($749 cost minus $250 bonus coupon). The trade in value of your old phone is counted as a gift card and isn't shown on the phone invoice.

  • Techie4066 on 22/07/2022 - 00:15

  • randombrick on 22/07/2022 - 10:14

    Anyone know how soon SquareUp expects us to send the trade-in phone to them? It states 7 days from getting the credit but also a caveat about extended times for prelaunch promotions. The earliest you would get the phone is on launch day so would you have to send the trade-in before getting the new one?

  • StrangeDisposition on 22/07/2022 - 10:19

    anyone have an IMEI for a device that is worth between $10-$20?

    Thinking even if they charge for the device that you dont send, you're still $230 better off.

    Feel free to PM me

    • ShouldIBuyIt on 22/07/2022 - 11:13

      Would that work tho? Say you've got a P3 which is dead not turning on but able to provide the IMEI and not sending it, would they still let you keep the $250?
      Or even iPhone 8 in good condition, worth $100 with this scheme and $150 through apple.
      Interesting to hear feedback

      • StrangeDisposition on 22/07/2022 - 12:16

        i dont see why not, from what i understand the $250 is sent as a voucher before you send back the old phone.

        if you have an IMEI i'd be happy to try it and let you know. worst case is $20 loss if they charge you for not sending the old phone and they dont send a voucher

      • Plug on 24/07/2022 - 16:43

        As per the JB site "Trade-in orders that are cancelled, may also mean coupon cancellation" so presumably either the coupon is voided or the value, if spent, is billed to your card.

        • Ice009 on 26/07/2022 - 19:29

          So you're saying he'll lose the whole $250 voucher if the trade-in phone isn't returned, not just the $20 value?

          • Plug on 31/07/2022 - 20:25

            @Ice009: That's what it seems to say. Whether they'll follow through is uncertain but they will have your card details so…….

  • mahdoo on 22/07/2022 - 10:25

    $130 for a mint condition pixel 4a (5g)

    Pretty bad deal by itself, but with the $250 voucher - it brings the tradein value to be equal (if not a little more) than what they're going for second hand.

    I have successfully price matched Telstra price in store to further reduce the price to $649, with my trade in of $100 + $250 bonus.
    Final price comes down to $299.

    • ShouldIBuyIt on 22/07/2022 - 12:50

      I'd keep only the P1. Bridge your daily beater and P1 with synching and turn the P1 on when you need to sync your pictures and upload to cloud.

  • viirgon on 22/07/2022 - 14:34

    Well the reviews are out and I decided to cancel my pre-order. I reckon it will be tough to resell it later given the huge discount going for both the 6a and eventually the 6. Not sure about the 7 either as it is still too big for my liking. If the 7a is similar to the Pixel 5, I will definitely be interested.

    • takutox on 22/07/2022 - 15:14

      Reviews seem good all around.

      I don't resell phones, but I don't think the resell will be that bad given that this is already a heavily discounted price. If anything this phone will probably have one of the closest to purchase resale price in the next coming years if you buy for the $499 + managed to use discounted gcs

      I doubt it will fall much under this price. The jb trade in deals are good

      4a is still selling for a big chunk, as are used / refurbed pixel 3, 4 and 5

      They don't usually discount the old phones heavily, rather they just get discontinued and are still expensive.

        I got an A53 to replace a pixel 4 in Prime day sale which I'm returning. The camera is too laggy for taking photos of dogs and children in low light. I think it defaults to long exposure which either doesn't focus or just blurs. I'm thinking of getting the 6a instead now.

        • ImpatientTurtle on 24/07/2022 - 13:05
          +1

          I'm glad someone else noticed. I "upgraded" from a 3aXl to a S20 Fe after reading all the reviews (and the 5a not being released here) that it takes pictures as good as pixels. Which with full sun and a completely stationary subject are close enough. But half the indoors shots of my kids are ruined by blurry faces and under exposure. I wish reviews would add a moving subject to the photography section.

          Can't wait to get this pixel, the fact it actually has a face deblurring algorithm thing is clutch with kids that won't stop moving haha.

        • Ice009 on 26/07/2022 - 19:35

          How much did you pay for the A53 in the Prime Day sale?

          I've been looking at the A53, S21 FE, Pixel 6A (the S21FE & 6A a full retail price are out of my price range). I wanted the best possible camera with whatever I bought (I am guessing the 6A would have the best camera of the phones I listed), so that is why I am looking at the 6A. Not sure if I'll like the smaller size of the 6A, but I guess that would be a trade off for getting a better camera.

          Another option is to wait until the Pixel 7 comes out and see if there is any deals on the Pixel 6. Does anyone expect deals on the Pixel 6, or do they just get phased out at the current pricing?

      Assuming you had backups turned on on the P5, It gives you an option to transfer your settings over when you start the 6a.

      Apps and settings should transfer over. Passwords will if you've been using google password manager for your apps.
