Telstra has yet to confirm its pricing for the G4, but will begin taking pre-orders on July 6. The first 300 customers to pre-order will receive a bonus MusicFlow P7 Bluetooth speaker valued at AUD$189. Telstra will exclusively sell the black leather G4 for the first six weeks of the smartphone’s availability.

Harvey Norman has already started taking outright pre-orders, and is offering a bonus 64GB microSD card valued at AUD$59 for the first 500 customers. The plastic back model will set customers back AUD$877, while the leather-clad option is billed at a slightly pricier AUD$928.

JB Hi-Fi will also be selling the handset, but has yet to confirm its pricing.
