        So why on the Telstra site the outright price is $699? Click the explore link and check the listing for yourself.

  • TomGum on 02/08/2022 - 11:24

    Anyone have experience of adding any of these devices to their current post paid Siebel account so we can pay monthly instead of upfront?

    • shanlee on 02/08/2022 - 11:54

      All new plans are added to salesforce n don't think you can add it to your Siebel account.
      One way is to migrate your old plan to the new plan.

  • MynyMouqe on 02/08/2022 - 11:26

    Any chance of them adding in iPhone deals this time around?

  • ozbargainer998 on 02/08/2022 - 11:26

    Is the A53 worth updgrading from the A52 (non-s, non-5g)?

    Otherwise looking at Pixel 7 or S23 next year?

    • sinners007 on 02/08/2022 - 11:34
      +1

      A53 is not a major upgrade over the A52. You get slightly better performance and battery but lose the headphone jack. The rest is pretty much the same.

      The Pixel 7 and S23 aren't even worth discussing at 4x the price of the A53.

      • netsurfer on 02/08/2022 - 12:08

        Also, no charger included in A53.

    • ozbargainer998 on 02/08/2022 - 12:55

      Price corrected to $449 - that's a no from me. Irrelevant question

  • BilboBargains on 02/08/2022 - 11:30

    Does the A53 have a NFC chip

    My old telstra account number (last used in 2013!!) does not seem to allow me to create a telstra id right now.

    Anyone know if you can get those prices without a telstra id by going into their store?
    Alternatively, is there a free route to a telstra id?
    And yes, I did read the page - it's not clear that a telstra id is mandatory for non-web/instore purchases.

    • shanlee on 02/08/2022 - 11:52

      as far as i know, there isn't a free route. easy way may be to buy a $2 telstra sim n activate it.

      • oldf4rt on 02/08/2022 - 14:01

        Done - good idea, thanks.
        Grabbed one from the local post office and just activated it on line so I now have a $2 telstra id.
        (edited a few minutes later)
        And of course, it was $2 wasted because my cunning plan for a cheap phone was destroyed by a telstradroid's pricing error.

    • Rodo on 02/08/2022 - 12:12

      Could also buy a Boost sim from this deal here: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/716422 and after cashback would be free. You can use your Boost sign-in details to login to Telstra. Not sure though if you would receive the sim in time. Took me a few days to get it after ordering last month.

    For the S22 / Xbox deal, do you to buy the device outright up front? Or can you get the device only contract and get the same benfits?

  • cycleri3 on 02/08/2022 - 11:40

    @OP how do you purchase this if you have a Telstra account but no plan? I know price wont be correct until the deal starts but I tried to check out A53 at $699 and it says I need a plan to complete the purchase.

    • shanlee on 02/08/2022 - 11:51

      I got a few items before as outright. you should see an option for outright purchase. If you got telstra points, you can bring down the price even further (again you can buy outright). Have purchased both the way.

    • Poor Ass on 02/08/2022 - 11:54

      press outright?

  • Irishness on 02/08/2022 - 11:48

    any deals using telstra plus points?

  • shanlee on 02/08/2022 - 11:51

    Does the deal start at 12am or 1am?

      According to the countdown timer and the last few Telstra Day deals, should be 1am Thursday.

    what is this $100-200 off

    No good

  • wombat81 on 02/08/2022 - 12:05

    Can any comment on the performance of the A53 vs Motorola G51 5G that was $199 recently? The G51 has a Snapdragon chip over the Exynos in the A53, but the numbers seem to indicate that the A53 still performs better except for power consumption. All other specs seem to fairly similar. Just wondering about real life performance.

    Thanks

    • johnn on 02/08/2022 - 12:20

      Can't comment on real life performance but the A53 actually does have a better screen (AMOLED vs LCD), better camera (OIS vs none), faster charging (25W vs 10W).

      The Moto G51 does have pros in: 3.5mm jack and a physical proximity sensor (A53 uses crappy virtual proximity sensing).

      The G51 is also massive if that matters to you. At 170.5mm it's taller than the S22 Ultra (163.3mm), iPhone 13 Pro Max (160.8mm), Xiaomi 12S Ultra (163.2mm).

      • wombat81 on 02/08/2022 - 12:23

        I bought it the G51 for my MIL recently, but wondering if the A53 would suit her better. I just know how poor the performance can be on the mid-low range Samsung phones.

        Edit: Forget it. It's not great value at $449.

        • johnn on 02/08/2022 - 12:32
          +1

          I got my dad the much older and slower A51 a few years ago and it was good enough for him.

          Not sure what your MIL needs but even for myself the A5X range has been plenty fast enough. Unless she's doing serious gaming on her phone I can't imagine the Exynos 1280 being problematic on general phone use.

          Just curious, when was the last time you used the Samsung mid-range? They've gone a long, long way since their J and early A series from 2010s.

          Edit: yeah at $449 definitely not worth the difference

          • wombat81 on 02/08/2022 - 12:35

            @johnn: I've had experience with J series and lower end A series in the last 5 years. They seemed to almost grind to a halt after a couple of years. I'm used to higher end phones too, which probably amplifies it. I'm sure the speed would be fine, I guess I'm more concerned with longevity. Once they get an android version update or 2, they really start to struggle.

            • johnn on 02/08/2022 - 12:47

              @wombat81: Ah yep that'd be right, the J series was legitimately terrible.

              Ever since the A30/A50 in 2019 Samsung have reinvented their midrange offerings. Much better performance and value- Chinese competitors like Xiaomi, Oppo and Huawei (at the time) were destroying them in the midrange up until then.

              My missus had the A50 for 2 years that held up perfectly well, my dad has had the A51 last until now. Can say they've definitely turned a corner since 2019.

  • gromit on 02/08/2022 - 12:13

    guessing they made a mistake, the price for the Samsung Galaxy Tab s8 Ultra 5g seems wrong. looks like they intended to put the s8+ as that matches the RRP.

    • xoom on 02/08/2022 - 13:27

      It's looking like it but if it's not. Then it would be great buy.

      • gromit on 02/08/2022 - 13:30

        yep, I think I will actually grab it if it stays as the Ultra. More than I wanted to pay for a new tablet, but will consider it a long time investment rather than just buying one of the Lenovo's or Xiaomi's which will age out sooner.

    Is it just me or do Telstra screw prices up quite often? There have been quite a few Plus store screw ups, now this.

    • sillyhead on 02/08/2022 - 12:30

      I reckon its on purpose for the publicity. Sure, true ozbargainers won't buy one now they seen a $249 price. But if your Aunt Mavis needs a new phone tomorrow, you'd send her for an a53 deal that you otherwise wouldn't have paid any attention to.

      They are out to trap us, with carefully laid bait trails of Eneloops and such.

              @xoom: really am quite disappointed. was quite excited by the prices, though at least with the s8 I think it was quite obvious a pricing error, the A53 looked like just an awesome deal. oh well, just another telstra day with not much on offer for me.

            • shegeloaf on 02/08/2022 - 14:59

              @xoom: And next, they will update xm4 to $350 😁😆😆😅🤣

    I've got an Oppo A91. Been a great phone but cracked the camera lenses and it's too slow as in frequently switching between maps and other apps. Would the Samsung A53 be a upgrade in chip performance? If, so how much? Can't find anything on net

    What a disappointment after initially advertising A53 for $249.
    $449 is barely a deal, BingLee eBay store is selling it for $497 (plus cashback, discounted eBay gift card).

    I'd probably bite at $350, definitely at $300. I guess I saved myself some money now.

    It's a bit (actually, a lot) of a joke that 2 of the advertised items were pricing errors. Other than their superior mobile coverage they really don't do anything well. Price, customer service, sales, etc.
