Hi OzB Family,

Looking at purchasing a new Android Phone. Leaning towards Samsung S23+ or Google Pixel 8.

What is the best price available at the moment?

So far I am looking at Officeworks to price beat JB H-Fi and then use gift cards to purchase.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as my current phone just shat the bed.

Cheers

    I've been disappointed with the p8p
    The camera is really great
    However I find the touchscreen to be a bit flaky with some missed presses, the fingerprint reader worse than my five year old oneplus, jerky scrolling, meh battery life, and no three finger swipe down for screenshot instead they have this stupid double tap on back which rarely works.
    I would go for the s23+ if the camera is not the most important thing for you

    S24 literally around the corner btw

    Pixel 8 maybe the only real deal atm is UNiDAYS 10% code

      Plus, it will heavily be focused on AI which might entice those who like the Pixel phones.

    my phones shat the bed fellas, literally cant wait for the S24 to come out. Worth getting S23?

      Sure but not at full price unless it’s a tax write off

      • chewieeez on 08/12/2023 - 08:46

    • Darayus on 08/12/2023 - 10:57

      Do Oppo or Oneplus do provide android updates / security patch?

  • chewieeez on 09/12/2023 - 16:12

    ended up getting the S23+ 256gb for $1032.

      how?

      • chewieeez on 09/12/2023 - 16:40

        @bazz asked jb on live chat for a better price than the listed price, and managed to get it down to 1199, then used 10$ perkz welcome code, and then paid the outstanding amount with discounted jb gift cards at 10% off.
