If a new phone was on your list of things to find a bargain on this Boxing Day, then JB Hifi should be your first stop with the price on both the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL price reduced.
The prices are available on all colour/storage combinations of the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL, with an $80 saving on the Pixel 2 and $150 saving on the Pixel 2 XL:
- Pixel 2 64GB – Was $979, Now $899
- Pixel 2 128GB – Was $1,129, Now $1,049
- Pixel 2 XL 64GB – Was $1,249, Now $1,099
- Pixel 2 XL 128GB – Was $1,399, Now $1,249
The Pixel 2 is on all of our lists here at Ausdroid as the best premium smartphone of the year. The smooth running phone, combined with the best samrtphone camera we’ve used to date and 3 years worth of updates makes it a compelling purchase.
If you want to check it out, head over to the JB Website, or head in-store at your local JB Hifi tomorrow.

Hi Daniel, after doing a thorough research and reading articles posted on Ausdroid.net, I made a decision to purchase the Google Pixel 2 XL 128gb a couple of days ago. I bought it from the Google Store for $1399. At that time, JB Hi-Fi was selling it at the same price ($1399). Unfortunately for me, JB Hi-Fi now reduced the price down to $1249. Essentially, I will be losing out of $150 due to this. Being a student this really affects me. I plan on returning my phone or asking Google if they can do a price match (which I doubt). But I have heard rumours that JB Hi-Fi are giving out old faulty pieces of the Google Pixel. Hence, I should stick with the piece which I purchased from Google directly. I tried doing some online reading about this but I could not find anything. What would you do if you were in my position? Hope to hear back from you soon.
Google won’t match price and you have to return the phone and then buy one from JB hi-fi
Google won’t match prices, but certainly will give you a refund – they have a 15-day window on returns. JB Hifi as far as I know are selling new stock, so that shouldn’t be a concern.
I’d definitely be returning the phone to Google and buying from JB if you can arrange it in the time it’s on sale.
Hi Farhan, I purchased a Pixel 2 XL from JB today and everything appears normal (i.e. sealed box, home mini supplied as promised). I haven’t had a chance to set it up yet but I’ll post back here if anything looks amiss once I open the box.
Thank you very much for you thoughts guys! Appreciate it. I ended up purchasing the Google Pixel pack from JB. Will be returning the piece from Google in the coming days. Pretty glad it all worked out and I managed to save $150!! Now, on to accessories – anyone recommend a decent screen protectors for the pixel? I know JB stocks a ZAGG tempered glass one. The google online store sells some as well, but unfortunately they do not cater them to us ‘isolated’ Australians =(
