Oops! Carrier Mistake Means Some Lucky Aussies Will Receive Their Google Pixel a Full Week Early

While Australians normally have to wait a bit longer than the rest of us to get the latest in tech, Australian carrier Telstra just bucked that trend.

Reportedly, Telstra, one of Australia’s largest carriers, has accidentally started shipping out Google Pixel pre-orders a full week earlier than expected, according to Android Police. There’s currently no word about why or how this happened — but one user on Reddit who claimed to be a Telstra representative said that it does occur pretty regularly. In any case, the recipients of the early phones don’t seem to be complaining.

One of the recipients of the phones has taken to Reddit to post unboxing shots of the packaging, pictures of the Pixel’s UI, and other details, like the fact that the stock camera app seems to have additional and more diverse options. The post also seemed to confirm that the Pixel comes with a standard HTC pair of headphones that lack inline controls. You can view the Redditor’s post here.

The Reddit user, named Wooparse, also posted several images and videos that show off the Google Pixel’s camera and image quality — including some low-light stabilized footage in 1080p recorded at both 30 and 60 frames-per-second. There’s also some low-light 4K footage, viewable here. Some of the low-light photo examples look pretty awesome too, and a photo of a dog shows off how the Pixel stacks photos to produce a better quality image.

And Wooparse is just the first of what’s likely to many Australians receiving the Google Pixel a week early. We’ll probably be seeing more unboxings, camera samples, and details about Google’s latest flagship in the coming days.

The phone is currently available for preorder in the US. They’ll be available in-store on Oct. 20, according to carriers.
