Not my cup of tea but if anyone wants one or for price match at JB/TGG etc.
Some models are online only, some are in-store only.
Good luck.

Google Pixel 9 5G Unlocked Smartphone 256GB
Pixel 10 annouced August 20 seems to be worth the wait for larger battery/screen and the Tensor G5 chip
You'd also be paying double this price.
thansk OP bought the 8a phones because they will eventually be free when google refunds lol
What is this? Am I missing something?
that's 6a not 8a
@eaddd87: What do you mean? Are you saying all the 'a' models?
What about the comment from this user?

@PeeDee: Jaduqimon was not making a serious comment… it is just that the past Pixel 6a and 7a models had battery issues, and thus purchasers of those models were eligible to receive a refund.
Jaduqimon was making a comment in jest that they intended to purchase the 8a in anticipation that they would receive a refund from Google some time in the future, though of course we won't know if this ever happens, only time will tell
Pixel 8a is cheaper at JB with Perks. $487.
where do you see this, its $517 for me
with Perks
haha, figures, I paid $800 for the Pixel 9 at OW last week. :(
Bring your receipt in store, speak to the manager politely, they will refund you the price difference.
Or try call their CS hotline, they can definitely help.
No, they don't.
I bought an iphone couple of months back and it dropped in price. I called their call centre and was denied for refund of price difference. They don't have price protection policy. If you haven't opened it then, may be you can return and buy again?
Yeah nah. Just called them, the only option is if I haven't opened or used it I could have returned it for a refund and re-purchased. NAB Visa used to do it but they've stopped it as well. So I have to suck it up. Oh well.
Buy this one and give that back to OW for refund. Unless they have imei recorded on the reciept
Pixel 8 has been $399 - hard to justify!
If you can find one. :)
yeah i know it's evil, deal exists, but you can't get it - but then it's in your mind as the benchmark price - lose / lose
I've been a loyal user of Google products since the Nexus era, having owned nearly every Nexus and Pixel device released each year, including the mainline, A-series, XL, and Pro models (except for the Nexus 4 and Pixel 5). Of all the devices I've used, the Pixel 8a and Pixel 2 XL stand out as the best in terms of value for money and performance.
Go get the Pixel 8a and wait for the (potential) battery overheating recall. Profit!
They introduced the new battery tech with the 8a…doubtful unfortunately
Could you tell me about it? Other people seem to be buying it for the refund
They are joking.
Did they introduce a new screen as well?
Genuine question not trolling
Google Pixel 8a 5G Unlocked Smartphone 128GB
rip off
$349 or nothing like when it first came out JB deal
Haha. True but you won't be able to get that price again.
it's insane why anyone looking would buy it for more
What choice do they have?
Pixel 8 was $399 recently, these aren’t deals
How much was Pixel 9?
Sooo Pixel 9 is $677, and Pixel 9 Pro is over $1k more expensive?!
$1,697 currently for the cheapest model. Damn, bring that pro down sub $1k please!
It was ~$1K on here about a week or two ago.
9 pro XL was going for 1148$ a few weeks ago on Harvey Norman in an ozb deal.
It will be there again surely with the new model coming out soon.

good deal for pixel 9
Great find OP. I came here to post after picking one up (stacking with Perks of course) but you beat me to it.
This is the way. Made sure there was a couple in stock near me at officeworks and rang JB Hifi to confirm they'll price match so $647 with Perk Coupon for Pixel 9 128GB.
JB Hi-Fi declined the price match due to limited stock availability.
Lol finding an excuse has never been easier.
I will wait for Telstra's clearance deal. happy to upgrade next time from 8 pro to 9 pro.
Does Telstra do this often though? I only know they did it this year.
Pixel 9 128GB $677
so 9a should be $499
Was able to get price match on 128gb Obsidian at TGG via chat. About 15-20 minute wait. 256gb is out of stock. I left it for others as I want 256gb.
Pricematched at JB Hifi, they genuinely didn't believe me. Tried to say it was a refurb, before getting it cleared with manager.
Got the 256gb 9 to replace the wife's Oppo find x2 pro with a broken screen. Hope she doesn't miss the faster charging and more camera zoom features.
My pixel 5 still going strong, these deals can't tempt me
Do you carry a powerbank with you?
I changed the battery for $120aud at the authorized store overseas! . I think I was getting about 40% of original capacity
Price matched with JB the Pixel 9 128gb.
Used the $30 Perks coupon for $653 Delivered
Tried three JB chats, no luck 😕
Bought Pixel 9 for $617. JB Hifi pricematch via Chat, sent link to OW stock at Macquarie; paid via gift cards 4.5% disc. Thanks OP, chuffed with this. Gave up on my S24 Ultra due to overheating and degraded battery life.
what site is doing jb gift cards for 4.5%?
BUPA Rewards, but you need to be a BUPA health fund member to benefit.
JB Refused price match for me :(
Missed out on the pixel 8 deal so snapped this one up.
Anyone know if the onepass 5x points for pickup stacks with the flybuys 5x officeworks offer?
I do not recommend buying a Pixel.
I was sold a defective Pixel 8. I had an issue with the screen, the same as is described here: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/257981543/my-pi…
Google "extended" their "Warranty" coverage : https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/15009955?hl=en
Extended Repair Program for Pixel 8
Google has determined that a limited number of Pixel 8 devices may experience display related vertical line and flickering issues. Google is offering an Extended Repair Program to provide support coverage for affected Pixel 8 devices for 3 years after the date of original retail purchase.
I was not satisfied with the resolution provided by the retailer nor Google for this issue.
Currently reading this email through the line fault
Thanks OP grabbed a Pixel 8a for 487 with perks from JB
Nice timing as my current old phone battery is on its last legs
Was a huge pain but I managed to price match the P9 at TGG, perfect timing as my P6 just had a run in with a rock. Helped I was near one of the stores that had stock.
How is the 9 cheaper than the 9a?!
slightly older phone in release schedule. Always happens with the main phone vs the "a" models
Got one from JB hifi. Stacked with $30 perks and 20x points offer for TCN gift card from Woolies. Can be stacked further with this Woolies offer
Went instore and grabbed one for $622 after Amazon discount on ultimate cards. Legend OP!
Pixel 9's have now gone up by $120
Likely in preparation for Pixel 10?
