            @danyool: No no, fully expected to be with the iPhone from here on out, but this is just too good to pass up. If it was a Samsung or something I wouldn't bother, but I quite like the Pixels.

                  @babiguling: Well oranges are a subcategory of fruit, they are a berry, and blackberries, strawberries and raspberries are not berries.

        • ExtraSalt on 11/10/2023 - 18:08

          Seems a weird backward step. Normally those in the market for an iPhone Pro Max and Pixel 8 don’t cross over. I have the iPhone 15 pro max and I couldn’t see why I would choose to give it up for this phone. I would for a Galaxy Fold if it had a great camera system. But otherwise, no.

    • HA on 08/10/2023 - 08:42

      I also just returned my iPhone 15 pro max for this

  • CptnObvious on 05/10/2023 - 09:22

    Is this worthwhile upgrade over pixel 7 pro? Does it address issues such as overheating?

    • aveeno bb on 05/10/2023 - 09:22

      from p7p, probs no. most features are available via firmware update.

    • backupper1 on 05/10/2023 - 10:53
      +4

      +: better battery life, cooler running, better cam, faster cpu, more modern design, 7 yr sw support.
      -: lower ppi, not curved

      • CptnObvious on 05/10/2023 - 10:53
        +19

        Not curved is a plus for me as screen protectors are lot easier for flat surfaces

        • backupper1 on 05/10/2023 - 11:09

          as an info: hydrogel screen guards are there for curved. not great like tempered glass but good enough.

        • Secret ID on 05/10/2023 - 21:35
          +5

          The reasons I hate curved screens:
          - Screen protector issue as you mentioned.
          - Darker tinge on both curved sides when viewing light colour images/videos.
          - Difficult to register touch on the edges.
          - Prone to screen damage upon slight impact.
          - Screen size appears to be smaller.
          I'm not sure what the advantage is and why people like curved screens.

          • Agret on 07/10/2023 - 21:43
            +1

            @Secret ID: Even harder to touch the edges when it's in a case. Apps with thin vertical scroll bars on the edge of screen can be near impossible to hold down on.

      • Secret ID on 05/10/2023 - 11:31
        +13

        Not curved is a positive.

          • BigPeeper on 05/10/2023 - 14:11

            @backupper1: what's your point? if you want a curved screen don't get the phone

    • xylarr on 05/10/2023 - 14:25

      Remember Android 14 is out today as well. Download that and see how your battery goes - though give it the usual week to "settle".

    • badonde on 08/10/2023 - 05:28

      We don't know yet but given those issues are so massive with P6 and they didn't manage to fix on P7, I wouldn't think so
      Definitely wait for reviews
      But it seems to be a pretty minor upgrade like the iPhone

  • tmr3 on 05/10/2023 - 09:26

    So, "device must be purchased at the same time the plan is taken out".

    Given this is a preorder, does that mean your plan starts the day that you pre-order? Or would it start on the day of release?

    And would that pre-order still qualify for the two gift card offers on the 8 Pro ($350 card with the phone, plus a $200 card if you also order a Pixel Watch 2)?

    • Mani88 on 05/10/2023 - 09:33

          +5

          No of course it doesn't stack because you are purchasing those outright. Not on a phone plan.

          • tmr3 on 05/10/2023 - 09:58
            +6

            @serpserpserp: Nothing in here is a phone on a plan. The discount applies to an outright purchase of the Pixel 8 Pro.

            Customers who sign up to a new Optus $69 SIM only plan in store at Harvey Norman, Domayne or Joyce Mayne during the offer period will also be eligible to purchase a Google Pixel 8 Pro 128GB device with a $1699 discount applied upfront to the cost of the device at point-of-sale.

            However, the fine print on this (the Optus plan) deal reads:

            This offer is not available with any other offers, unless specified.

            So I'm going to guess the answer is "no, but maybe try your luck in store".

  • ysbeer178 on 05/10/2023 - 09:33

      You take out the plan and then cancel immediately and just pay out the discounted phone then you can use whatever sim you want in it.

      • zubzub on 05/10/2023 - 22:24

        I wasn’t with Optus for over 6 years and my details got leaked. On the plus side, no harm if they leak it twice hahah

          Seriously. I was saying the same thing. They leaked your data already. As long as you don’t give them new ones you obtained again. You are good to stay.

          Going to another provider means you give them all of your new ID again and hope they don’t leak them in future. Better stay with Optus if you haven’t left.

    • Rimas on 09/10/2023 - 08:28

      I asked Optus chat yesterday and seems like this plan is only eligible for their $10/day roaming pass.

  • [Deactivated] on 05/10/2023 - 09:51

    How much is a Pixel 7 Pro worth now? It looks like 128GB mostly around $800 used.

    I wonder if I could sell and upgrade.

    Last Optus deal, only cost me $750 with the $150 gift card making it $600

    I like the 256GB tho, I don't even have a lot on my phone and I easily take up over 100GB.

    • slankets on 05/10/2023 - 10:39

    • [Deactivated] on 05/10/2023 - 09:54

      That's really cheap

      I think I'll go on and repeat.

      I can probably sell my Pro 7 256GB for $900 anyways.

      Honestly have no idea on the used market tho.

        @sp3tsnaz Did you manage to get the $350 Gift card offer as well..last year it did work on day 1 of when stock was on hand in store. You have to push for it as the HN sales consultant do make fat $ on each of these phone plan + bundled phone sale

          Gumtree, or Facebook Marketplace I guess?

          All I found on FB is Pixel 7 Pro 128, $800+.

          I assume I would get $900 got 256GB.

    • lawyerz on 05/10/2023 - 10:00

      how are you doing the order using this phone plan deal since it is "pre-order" atm, they'll send you the phone?

      • sp3tsnaz on 05/10/2023 - 10:54
        +1

        You pick the phone up the day of release, they just allocate one to you. All that was done today was setting up the Optus $68 Gift Card Voice Plan and then putting into their system that they will take off $1,699 from the phone when I pick it up from Harvey Norman as part of this offer. The 2 parts of the contracts seem to be separate, HN just assisted in setting up the Optus one (plus they get commission for it from what I gather)

        • Mani88 on 05/10/2023 - 10:55

    • slankets on 05/10/2023 - 10:38

      Doesn't the iPad need a special iPad plan? Not any mobile SIM?

      • brosk1s on 05/10/2023 - 20:20

        You can use any SIM in an iPad because you’re really just using data but you can’t use a tablet SIM in a phone because it they are data only and have no calls/texts allocation.

        Edit: well I guess you could use a tablet plan on a phone but it’ll cost you a fortune

    • Shak2093 on 05/10/2023 - 11:19

    • mclachat on 05/10/2023 - 10:52

      You would have to either port out to another provider, wait a month and then port back into Optus on this plan, or get a new number. If you do the port out option it would pass the expiry date for the deal unless the extend it

        Thanks mate, that sucks.

  • Petronas on 05/10/2023 - 10:51

    Just wanting to confirm, if you cancel straight away the cost will be $828 and you do not have to pay back the device cost as it's essentially "free"?

    Is the relevant PDS the one linked below?

    https://hndgwww2.blob.core.windows.net/hnau/gift_card_voice_…

    • dongltron on 05/10/2023 - 19:46

        This is what I meant.

        The only cost out of pocket is $828 and nothing else.

        It gives me a week or more to suss my options.

  • Voucherd on 05/10/2023 - 10:59

    Something seems off, in the deal it says min cost is $1656 but the current optus contract says min cancellation is $820 or so. I just hope they don't change the optus contract for this offer before the phone comes out and people get stung with the min $1656 cost thinking they can cancel.

    • tmr3 on 05/10/2023 - 11:07
      +4

      I would assume that (emphasis mine)

      Min plan cost $1656 including device & plan over 24 months.

      is counteracted by this section of the critical info summary:

      Cancelling your plan
      The maximum cancellation fee is described in the table at the start of this summary and will reduce each month of your contract term. Your cancellation fee will be half of your minimum monthly charge (excluding any applicable device charges) x months remaining in your minimum term. If you cancel your mobile plan, you’ll also have to pay all chargesincurred up to the end of the payment cycle in which the service was cancelled. This is subject to your consumer law rights.

      The CIS shows $828 as the maximum cancellation fee for the $69/mo plan.

      • Voucherd on 05/10/2023 - 11:11
        +1

        So how are optus getting $1656 as the minimum plan cost? Do they value……..wait I see, if you stay on the plan min cost is $1656. Min cost only calculates cost if staying on plan for 24 months…not the actual min cost if you cancel the plan

        • tmr3 on 05/10/2023 - 11:28
          +5

          Yes.

          $69 * 24 months = $1656 minimum cost over 24 months.

          Maximum cancellation fee is $828 subject to the formula (0.5 * minimum monthly charge of $69 * months remaining on plan, plus pro-rata charges for the current month).

  • Ozfanmel on 05/10/2023 - 10:59

    Will they share invoices for the phone for full price as paid via credit or zero $ in invoice?

    • aveeno bb on 05/10/2023 - 11:11

        TRS/salary sacrifice what - $0? You aren't paying anything for the device.
        The only component that you are paying for is the phone plan, so maybe you can explore options for TRS/salary sacrifice on that.
