Rejoice, oh frugal ones, for it is Telstra Day once more, granting those who are pure of heart (and everyone else) the opportunity to save hundreds of dollars on a veritable sundry of discounted tech items. Clearly, the goddess Fortuna smiles upon us on this glorious day!

For today only (April 7), Telstra is slashing the prices of some of the best handsets currently available, such as Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Galaxy Z Fold 3 foldable devices, Google's Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, and Apple's older (but still great) iPhone 12.

Samsung leads the way in the foldable smartphone revolution, with both the Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Galaxy Z Fold 3 considered as vastly superior to previous iterations, thanks to their improved hinges, tougher displays and added water resistance. At Telstra, you can save up to AU$250 on the Z Flip 3 and AU$300 on the Z Fold 3 if you make the leap today.

Not looking to KonMari your next phone? You could opt for a traditional non-folding smartphone instead, with up to AU$250 off on 2020's iPhone 12, as well as AU$150 of the Google Pixel 6 and AU$200 off the Google Pixel 6 Pro.

Alternatively, you could skip the new handset and grab a pair of Sony's fantastic WF-1000XM4 in-ear headphones, which we've awarded the coveted Editor's Choice award in our five-star review.

So if you're in the market for a new phone, or the best wireless earbuds you can currently buy, we suggest jumping on these deals as soon as possible, because they will vanish into the ether after today. 

You don't even need to sign up to an eligible Telstra mobile plan to take advantage of these deals – all you need is a Telstra ID in order to use the checkout. Apart from the ability to buy the phones outright, you also have the option of paying them off over 12, 24 or 36 months.
