Google Pixel 5 (opens in new tab) | AU$849 (RRP AU$999, save AU$150)

The Pixel 5 is packing top-notch camera software under the hood. It has two lenses on the rear – which is one short of what most flagship phones have – but it comes into its own thanks to its photo editing capabilities. This discount is available through Telstra, where you can buy the phone outright for AU$849.

Google Pixel 4a 5G (opens in new tab) | AU$599 (RRP AU$799, save AU$200)

This Google smartphone is the Pixel 5’s more affordable sibling. It shares much of the same specs as the Pixel 5 above, but cuts corners with its plastic casing and shorter battery life. Still, it’s much cheaper at this discounted price of AU$599, available from Telstra when you buy outright or with a plan.

After the initial discount ends, your plan will bump up to the standard pricing of AU$119p/m. Because it comes with no lock-in contract though, you’re free to jump ship before that happens.
