Earlier today Google announced the hotly anticipated (and leaked) Pixel 4 series.

In a move that surprised almost everyone, both the Pixel 4 and 4 XL are cheaper than what the previous generation was at launch.

That being said, not everyone is going to want to buy one outright, and you don’t have to.

Here is every Pixel 4 and 4 XL plan you can get in Australia from Telstra, Optus and Vodafone.

After wading through every possible leak imaginable the time has finally come. The Google Pixel 4 and 4 XL have been announced for real. And as an added bonus, they’re both cheaper than last year’s counterparts. Here’s everything Aussies need to know about the new range.”]

But a bit about the new phones first.

The 4 starts at $1,049, with the XL starting at $1,279. For comparison, last year the 3 started at $1,199 and the 3 XL started at $1,349.

Google is placing a huge emphasis on the upgraded camera this year. While the main lens is still 12MP, the telephoto lens has been bumped up to 16MP.

On the front you’ll find 8MP again, but there is a wider range of field.

Night Sight, which was introduced in the Pixel 3, now includes astrophotography that is apparently capable of capturing the stars and even the Milky Way.

HDR+ has also gotten an upgrade with Live HDR+ which lets you mess with the likes of highlights and shadows in the view finder – so you can see how you picture is going to turn out even before you take it.

Under the hood you’ll find a new Snapdragon 855 processor, 6GB RAM and either 64GB or 128GB of storage. Google sure does love that 128GB ceiling. Hopefully it will raise the roof to at least 256GB next year.

You can read more about the new features here.

And now onto the plans, which are all available for pre-order today.


Telstra

The cheapest Pixel 4 plan with Telstra is $79.13 for 15GB data on a 36 month plan. This is for the 64GB model.

Of course, this isn’t a lot of data and it’s a long time to be locked into a contract.

If you don’t mind the contract length, we’d recommend upgrading to the 60GB a month plan for $89.13 a month.

Or if you’d prefer a 24-month plan we would be looking at the $103.70 a month plan that comes with 60GB data.

The same goes for the Pixel 4 XL (64GB model), our pick is the 24-month 60GB plan, which will set you back $113.29.

Of course, if you’d prefer 128GB storage on your device it’s going to cost extra.

If you grab your Pixel through Telstra before January 13, you’ll get a bonus Google Nest Hub.

Optus

The cheapest Optus plan is the 64GB Pixel 4 which is $70 a month for 4GB data on a 36-month plan.

We definitely don’t recommend this.

Instead, consider the $93 a month 60GB plan, which only runs for 24-months.

Again, it will cost more to go for a 128GB Pixel 4 or any of the 4 XL models.

If you go with Optus before December 31, you’ll get a bonus Harman Kardon Citation One Speaker with Google Assistant.

Vodafone

The cheapest Pixel 4 you can get with Vodafone comes in at $64.13 a month for 5GB data on a 36-month contract. This is for the 65GB model.

For best value on a shorter contract we would recommend the $88.70 a month plan which comes with 30GB data on a 24-month contract. If you want to bump this up to an 128GB model it will set you back $94.95 a month.

We would also recommend the 30GB plan for the Google Pixel 4 XL (64GB model) which comes in at $98.29 on a 24-month contract.

All Vodafone prices may be slightly lower if you qualify for a loyalty discount.
