Most of the time, it’s the high-end, all the bells and whistles varieties of robot vacuums that claim the spotlight. It’s cool to see what the latest robot technologies can do, but they’re not always within the budget of everyday households. Targeting that more affordable tier is TP-Link’s $899 Tapo RV50 Omni, a robot vacuum with several self-cleaning features.
It wasn’t that long ago that robot vacs with self-emptying and cleaning docks would fetch a price far above $1,000. Now, it’s more common to see sub-$1,000 robot appliances that don’t need constant manual emptying, but the Tapo RV50 Omni still seems to offer a lot for its relatively affordable price.
For one, its included base station empties the robot’s dustbin each time it docks. Built into the system is a cutting brush that detangles any hair or fur picked up along the way. Plus, the station also washes the robot’s mop pads and then dries them with 50°C air.

“Most people love the idea of a robot vacuum until they have to clean it,” said Neville Wang, Managing Director, TP-Link Australia and New Zealand. “With the RV50 Omni we wanted something that genuinely looks after itself, from the tangle-free brush to a dock that washes and dries its own mops, so it keeps working in the background of a busy home.”
TP-Link lists up to 12,000Pa of suction power for the Tapo RV50 Omni, which won’t set any world records, but it’s on par with more affordable mid-range robot cleaners. It also has two spinning mop pads that rotate at 180RPM while applying up to 8N of downward pressure.
On paper, the RV50 Omni looks like a well-featured robot vacuum for the price. It’s out now in Australia via Tapo’s online store. Above all, it’s good to see more competition in Australia’s sub-$1,000 robot vacuum market.
Are you looking to save on your phone bill? We’ve rounded up the cheapest SIM plans from a range of different carriers to help you find the best price. If you’re unsure about whether a SIM-only mobile plan is what you need, our quick guide to SIM only mobile plans will get you up to speed.
Generally speaking, if you don’t want a new phone or a lock-in contract, a SIM plan is the way to go. It’s easy to get what you need without paying for excess features. Unlimited phone calls and text messages usually come standard, with data and international roaming the main points of difference. If you do want a phone, however, check out the current deals on phone plans, including discounted handsets.
We update this article monthly, so bookmark this page to keep up to date with the cheapest SIM plans. Prices update in real-time, meaning you get the latest deals available in Australia right now. You can also use a custom search to choose a plan that suits your exact needs.
All of the plans featured in this article include an expiry period of at least 28 days. You can purchase a SIM plan with a shorter recharge window, ideal for travellers who only need a bit of data while visiting Australia.
SpinTel is currently the cheapest postpaid SIM plan, costing $12 per month for the first six months. The plan uses the Optus 5G network, including 25GB of data. Once the discounted period ends, SpinTel’s plan costs $23 per month.
Not far behind is a $12.50 per month offer from Pivotel, discounted for six months from its usual $25 price. Using Vodafone’s 4G network, the plan comes with 30GB of data each month. Another cheap option comes from Dodo, with its Small Mobile Plan priced at $14 per month for the first six months. 25GB of data comes included, along with a 5G Optus connection. After discounts, Dodo’s plan costs $25 per month ongoing.
If you’re keen on a postpaid SIM plan on the Telstra network, Tangerine currently sells the cheapest option. Its $30 monthly plan costs $20 per month for the first three months, with 60GB included each month for the first six months (30GB applies afterwards). Keep in mind that this Tangerine plan only uses parts of Telstra’s 5G and 4G networks, so check the coverage map before locking anything in.
Prepaid
Buckle up for a multi-part deal: Yomojo sells the current cheapest prepaid SIM plan, but it’s not a fixed price the entire time. It only costs $1 for the first month, followed by a $12.45 monthly price through to the sixth month. Afterwards, Yomojo’s plan costs $24.90 per month on regular pricing. It nets you an Optus 4G Plus connection and 29GB of monthly data.
Only slightly more expensive are prepaid SIM plans from iiNet and TPG, both using the Vodafone 4G network. For the first six months, each plan costs $12.50 per month, and then $25 each month after, with 25GB of data included. OnePass Mobile also costs $12.50 for the first six recharges; it uses a 28-day cycle rather than the monthly billing of the above plans.
On the Telstra network, the cheapest current prepaid SIM plan is $23 from Aldi Mobile on a 30-day renewal. Aldi uses Telstra’s wholesale 4G network while bundling 12GB of data.
Cheapest 5G SIM plans
5G coverage reaches more of Australia than ever, bringing with it faster download speeds. Phones compatible with 5G are also increasingly affordable, making it easier to access high-speed networks.
In some cases, 5G plans can cost more, but as you’ll see below, they can also be among the cheapest.
Postpaid
Most of the cheapest postpaid 5G SIM plans follow the same trend as above; SpinTel ($12 per month) and Dodo ($14 per month) are currently the clear standouts.
Outside of discounts, postpaid 5G plans start from $23 per month, so it’s a reasonably affordable tier.
Prepaid
On the prepaid side of the fence, OnePass Mobile currently sells the cheapest 5G prepaid SIM plans, starting at $12.50 per 28-day renewal and 22GB of data. Lyca Mobile, on the Vodafone 5G network, is similarly cheap, priced at $15 per 28 days for the first six recharges, including a large 50GB allocation. Afterwards, it costs $30 every 28 days.
Boost Mobile is the cheapest Telstra-based prepaid SIM plan with 5G access, priced at $28 per 28-day renewal. It includes a relatively small 8GB allocation, albeit with a 21GB introductory offer that applies to the first three recharges. Boost is also the only MVNO with access to the full Telstra network, reaching further than most other telcos.
For a bit more data on the Telstra network, Aldi Mobile and Ezee Mobile include 29GB per 30-day recharge for $29. Both rely on Telstra’s wholesale network, so check the coverage map to be sure if your area is covered.
Depending on your data needs, you can generally pick up a 5G prepaid plan for $25 per recharge.
Cheapest 365-day SIM plans
If you know what you need over a longer period and want to save money in the process, a 365-day SIM plan might do the trick. Simply pay once per year, and get a bank of data to use with unlimited calls and texts. It’s a cost-effective way of paying your phone bill for basic internet users who aren’t big downloaders.
At the time of writing, Kogan Mobile tops the list of cheapest 365-day SIM plans, charging $149 for a Vodafone 4G connection and 140GB of data. Post-discount, Kogan’s plan costs $179.90 per 365 days.
Looking at Optus connections, OnePass Mobile is the cheapest long-term option. At the moment, OnePass Mobile’s 280GB plan costs $169 for the first recharge, down from its regular $250 price. Even at full price, that’s still less than a dollar per gigabyte, if data is a priority.
Want a 365-day SIM plan on the Telstra network? Boost Mobile sells the cheapest option at $250, which includes 295GB with the first recharge. Subsequent recharges cost $300 and come with 195GB of data. That’s less data than the 215GB you get with Everyday Mobile’s $250 plan, albeit limited to Telstra’s 4G network.
What you need to know about SIM only plans
It’s fairly easy to change your SIM plan provider. Even more so with the rise of embedded SIM (eSIM) technology, letting you change plans almost instantly with a compatible device. Instead of requiring a physical card, eSIM stores network information directly in your phone.
Irrespective of which service provider you go with, the actual network used will be either Optus, Telstra or Vodafone. Many of the cheapest SIM plan providers are mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs). This refers to carriers that use the network infrastructure of another company.
Boost Mobile is a popular MVNO that has full access to Telstra’s network, reaching 99.5% of Australians. Not every MVNO includes a network’s full coverage, so it’s worth checking a company’s website to ensure your area is serviced.
In terms of how much data you should choose, data from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) found that Australians generally pay for more than what they need. On average, Aussies use 10.2GB of phone data per month, so it’s likely you could get away with a smaller allowance that costs less.
It also depends on how much you stream and download content using your phone. If you mainly use home or office Wi-Fi and don’t stream much, stick with a cheaper plan.
Postpaid versus prepaid
There are a couple of slightly different SIM plan options to choose from. Postpaid refers to plans that operate on a monthly billing cycle, where you pay at the end of each cycle. Postpaid SIM plans generally don’t involve a lock-in contract, so you can freely swap if your needs change or a better deal comes along. If you hit your data cap for a month, your telco might limit speeds until the next cycle or charge extra costs, so check the fine print beforehand.
Prepaid, on the other hand, sees you pay at the start of each cycle for a fixed number of days. Most prepaid SIM plans have a 28-day expiry cycle instead of a full month. Shorter expiries are also available if you need a SIM while travelling, making it a flexible option. The upside is that if you go over your data limit, you won’t incur extra costs. A lot of prepaid plans don’t automatically recharge by default but you can set up auto-recharge manually, with some telcos offering discounts or bonuses if you do so.
Phone number portability
The SIM changeover process takes about 10 minutes of your time or even less if you choose an eSIM. You will receive instructions to visit a website, provide your details, prove your identity (online) and then insert your new SIM.
Note you will have a choice to migrate your existing mobile number or choose a new one. About 15 minutes later, you should be up and running. However, the documentation will indicate it may take up to 24 hours and be affected by working hours.
Best network coverage
Network coverage is one of the most important factors to consider when buying any phone plan. Low prices and all the data in the world don’t mean much if you can’t get a signal. Fortunately, Australia’s mobile phone network coverage is more competitive than ever because of the TPG Telecom and Optus partnership.
Telstra still boasts the broadest network coverage, reaching 99.7% of the Australian population. Optus and Vodafone aren’t far behind, covering 98.5% and 98.4% respectively. Optus expects to rapidly expand its 5G network, so expect plenty of competition in the next couple of years.

More important than percentages is whether your location has coverage. Recent changes to the rules governing coverage maps mean that all Australian telcos now use the same standardised definitions, which is aimed at making comparisons easier and more like-for-like. Here’s where you can find each of the major telcos’ network maps:
The best way to find out if a plan suits you is to try one for a month. Lock-in contracts are largely a thing of the past, so it’s easier than ever to try one provider and swap if it doesn’t work out.

Keyboards come in all shapes and sizes these days, and it’s very easy to forget which brand of keyboard you are looking at. After all, they are just a bunch of keys all lined up in different colours and configurations. GravaStar is certainly an exception.
It’s hard to compare GravaStar with most keyboard brands, as they combine high-end specs and features with a super unique sci-fi aesthetic. It almost looks like its keyboards are from another planet, as is the case with the GravaStar Mercury V60 Pro.
This is my first experience using a GravaStar keyboard, and I must admit, I found it hard to focus on anything other than its unique styling. I had to force myself to put that aside and spend some time looking at everything the Mercury V60 Pro delivers.
When first unboxing the keyboard, I was somewhat conflicted. Maybe I am old-fashioned, or maybe it’s the designer in me, but I much prefer a minimalist approach to my keyboards. Some clean lines and a boxy finish are all I am after. The Mercury V60 Pro is anything but simple. As I mentioned, it comes with over-the-top styling, replacement keycaps for every single key, and two accessory boxes with tools and replacement switches. Not your simple plug-and-play keyboard by any means. Regardless, it had piqued my interest. I was truly excited to test this one out.

With every other brand making keyboards that look the same as the last, GravaStar quickly caught my attention. I didn’t actually recognise the brand name as much as I recognised the out-there styling of the product. I had seen these keyboards online and always thought to myself “wow, that’s unusual”. It wasn’t until I had the opportunity to use and review a GravaStar product that I finally put it all together. If I had to sum up the styling of GravaStar, think of either an overlord or a baneling from StarCraft 2.

I got my hands on the Mercury V60 Pro Deluxe Edition Dual Keycap Gift Box Set, and as you have probably guessed, this comes with a lot of bits and pieces. As I mentioned, I wasn’t sold when I first took the keyboard out of the box. Yes, it had that ultra sci-fi look to it. And yes, it was like no other keyboard I had ever touched. But I felt it was somehow disappointing. Like there was something missing. Plugging in the V60 Pro and using it for the first time was a pleasure. The performance was clearly not the issue. It had to be the aesthetics putting me off. I couldn’t put my finger on it. I also noticed it was hard to read the keys under certain lighting. The grey lettering on shiny silver keys reflected light, making them appear blank.
The build of the keyboard felt sturdy and durable with an aluminium construction. It’s a rather small keyboard with a 60% form factor. This can create challenges for me as I typically use something larger. The outer frame boxes in the keyboard layout and only has one additional button on the top right for switching profiles with a single press. The keys also present with a bit of additional flair spread throughout the keyboard. There is a black logo key as the Esc key in the top left, a black Enter key and a rather unique space bar with the word “Clutch” scribed on it. I like most of these little embellishments, yet the space bar is a strange one. I can live with it though.

Keys and switches
As I dived deeper into exploring the keyboard, I came across the replacement keycaps. Now, most keyboards don’t come with replacement keycaps at all, so having a full set of replacements is an eye-opener. These keycaps were also translucent, meaning the RGB lighting would shine through them. I suddenly had a renewed sense of hope.
Changing out some of the keys and customising the look of the keyboard brought this thing to life. As it turns out, the original keycaps were blocking the RGB lighting from shining through. Without any transparency, not even the lettering, the keyboard felt a little dull to me. But once I had my custom setup sorted with some translucent keys in place, I finally felt the joy this keyboard provides. It now had a balance between the sturdy aluminium construction, the alien-esque styling and the techy RGB lights shining through.
Switch replacements were also a breeze with the handy tools included. The hot-swappable design allows for quickly and easily changing between the magnetic hall effect switches and the four replacement UFO magnetic gaming switches.
For the most part, the switch change helps with a few different areas. Stem stability, or how much a switch stem moves side to side inside its housing, is a big factor. It also offers smoother travel as well as a bit of a sound difference. It’s not huge, but it is noticeable. I ended up using the four replacement switches for my WASD movement keys as I feel I get the most use out of those keys in my day-to-day gaming.

Performance
The polling rate is one of the first things I check when looking at a gaming keyboard. This is the rate at which the keyboard sends data to your computer per second, meaning it’s a measure of how responsive the device is. The Mercury V60 Pro has an impressive 8000Hz polling rate paired with 256kHz key position scanning. All of this adds up to an incredibly smooth gaming experience with basically instant keyboard latency. Your typical gaming keyboard works within the range of 1-10 ms, where the Mercury V60 Pro comes in at an impressive 0.125ms. It goes to show GravaStar has performance in mind just as much as aesthetics.
I do like the ability to have multiple profiles that I can easily change between. There are even some preset configurations for different games like CS:GO, which is a nice touch. The browser-based software was easy to use when adjusting actuation point and rapid trigger settings. There is also a handy Travel Test feature to help with your adjustments.

The sound of the keyboard is also something I consider rather important. The sound of the keys certainly adds to the satisfaction of using the product, and thus the overall feeling you get when using it. The Mercury V60 Pro has a rather satisfying click to it. It isn’t too loud or obnoxious, but it certainly has a satisfying click. It’s crisp while also sounding almost smooth with little to no keystroke vibrations. Overall, I would say I enjoyed the sound, and it only enhanced my gaming experience.
Lighting and software
Interestingly, there is no software for this keyboard. Well, there isn’t any installation at least. There is only a web-based driver system, which is a little foreign to me. Maybe it’s a good thing? I personally like controlling all of my gaming peripherals from a software hub. This would typically let me control multiple gaming peripherals within the one software. So having a web browser-style settings page for just this keyboard isn’t what I’m used to. Maybe there is some benefit for those who change computers often or take their keyboard with them to gaming cafes.
As I touched on above, the lighting of the V60 Pro really comes to life once you change out some of the keycaps. With 16 dynamic modes and dual-zone controls broken up between the key backlighting and side ambient lighting, this keyboard shines. Creating your own look is very much a running theme with this keyboard, and the lighting is no different.
You can even adjust things like the effect speed, which is rather fun. If you prefer not to use the software, you have the option of using some keyboard shortcuts as well. You can change colour modes of either section and adjust speed, colour or brightness all from the keyboard using a combination of keys. For example, Fn + Tab switches the colour of the keyboard backlight.

Who is the GravaStar Mercury V60 Pro for?
The GravaStar Mercury V60 Pro is no doubt a premium keyboard. And with that comes a rather large price tag at $399 in Australia. For a keyboard in this price range, I would expect high-end specs, and the V60 Pro delivers. 8k polling, 0.125ms latency and high-end Hall Effect magnetic switches put this beauty right up there. It also comes with a lot of customisation options that are sure to appeal.
For this set of features, the Mercury V60 Pro is for gamers looking for both high-end specs for dominating the competition and a flashy sci-fi-style gaming weapon they can adjust as they see fit.
GravaStar Mercury V60 Pro
Built for competition and style, the GravaStar Mercury V60 Pro is quite the unique keyboard that won't go unnoticed on your desk.
My complaint with premium folding phones has always been that if you’re going to pay for the brand’s most expensive phone, you should also be getting all the brand’s fanciest features. Finally, with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, Samsung has answered my pleas.
The upgrade to last year’s Z Fold 7 is that it now has the same cameras as the excellent Galaxy S26 Ultra, so now users don’t have to compromise on cameras when choosing to fold or not to fold. This also explains the change in naming convention to add the ‘Ultra’ to the end of this line, even if it’s a little confusing with the launch of a new folding phone getting the Fold 8 name.
Of course, with a name change and significant camera spec bump comes a price hike, and the Z Fold 8 Ultra is now $100 more expensive at launch than the Z Fold 7 was. But what isn’t more expensive in 2026?
Now that I’ve spent a week with Samsung’s new folding phones, I’m certain that this is Samsung’s best and most advanced folding phone ever, but it’s not for everyone.
The first thing I noticed about the Fold 8 Ultra is that it seems so much thinner and sleeker than the Fold 7. That’s odd, because according to my colleague John Davidson’s callipers, it’s actually ever-so-slightly thicker. But there’s something about the design that’s more polished.
What I loved about the Fold 7 was how much it felt like just holding a regular phone when it was folded, and the Fold 8 Ultra carries that forward. It makes it so easy to use it like a regular phone most of the time, and then open it up when you need the big screen. It’s taken it from being a gimmick to a genuinely useful everyday tool.
Image: Alice Clarke.
The next thing I noticed was how much less pressure it takes to open the hinge. Before, opening the phone up took concentrated effort. It wasn’t the worst, but it was quite noticeable. Now, with less pressure required, it feels more like something you could do reflexively whenever, rather than something to think about. I previously also found that heavier hinge a bit unnerving, because I was subconsciously worried something was wrong. The more gentle hinge feels more natural.
The big headline here is the upgraded cameras. Previously, Samsung’s most premium folding phone had a camera array that was a significant downgrade from the less expensive S25 Ultra range.
Now, the most premium folding phone has the same cameras as the most premium ‘candy bar’ phone, so people only have to decide on form factor, rather than what they’re willing to give up.
It’s also worth pointing out that the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra uses a new silicon-carbon battery. The 5,000mAh capacity isn’t as big as some foldables, like the Motorola Razr Fold or Honor Magic V6, but the new technology should mean more recharge cycles before degrading.
Screens
I am still annoyed by the weird aspect ratios of the Fold 8 Ultra range. They have annoyed me since 2019, and you’d think either app makers or I would have adjusted to it by now. But no. The front screen should have the same aspect ratio as a regular candy bar phone, and I will die on this hill.
Across both the inner and outer screens, watching videos results in conspicuous black bars. Images: Alice Clarke.Compare this with the new Galaxy Z Fold 8, which is nearly perfect for watching videos. Images: Alice Clarke.
But I can’t deny that this 3,000-nit bright screen is absolutely gorgeous. The reduction in crease thanks to the new titanium layer makes the screen much more usable in both portrait and landscape. For some reason, it means I feel more comfortable multitasking on it.
I am a chronic multitasker, and it’s been so nice to have my Fortnite Droid Tycoon game on one half of the screen, my pro and con spreadsheet for an upcoming purchase in the top-left corner, and the droid guide in the top-right. Because why do one thing well, when I can do two things kinda okay?
The phone’s thinness also means that I’m using the front screen more than I would have before. This is because it now feels just like a normal phone (aspect ratio aside) with a secret identity. The hand comfort is also a lot better when it’s folded because the very thin phone body can be a little sharp and non-ergonomic when unfolded.
All up, I love these screens.
Gaming and entertainment
While the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra doesn’t have my favourite aspect ratios, it is a brilliant phone not just for multitasking and productivity maxxing, but also downtime. It’s got the power, and it also seems to have slightly better cooling than the vanilla Z Fold 8. I could play Fortnite for a couple of hours before it got too hot for the graphics to stay on high settings.
Now, granted, it is winter, and my apartment is perpetually freezing, which is likely helping the cooling, but the Z Fold 8 was tested in the same (freezing) conditions.
The larger inner screen is perfect for games that support the aspect ratio. I particularly love playing Xbox Game Cloud games on it with a controller, because it has all that extra space.
Image: Alice Clarke.
Watching movies and TV shows on the inner screen remains a bit weird. All that empty space surrounding a 16:9 movie is enough to feel wasted, but not quite enough to put an extra app in without making the movie window smaller. Still, it’s nice to have such a large screen.
Reading books on the inner screen semi-folded makes it feel more like a real book experience when I turn the page, and I enjoy the novelty.
The only problem is that, like the Fold 8, it’s too thin when unfolded to comfortably hold for long periods of time without either cutting into my hand or making my thumbs feel weird. I’m sure it’s something I’ll adjust to, but it’s something to keep in mind for people with arthritis or other hand issues.
Also, the Fold 8 Ultra’s edges stab me in the pelvis whenever I sit down with the phone in my pocket. And I wear men’s jeans with relatively deep pockets. Like, not as deep pockets as Oni jeans, but Nudie Jeans’ pockets are hardly shallow.

Cameras
The cameras are the big headline of the Fold 8 Ultra, because they address my biggest complaint about the Fold range. I have always asserted that users shouldn’t have to choose between the best and biggest screen, and the best cameras. Most people choose their phone on price, cameras and size in that order. Now that the Z Fold 8 Ultra has the same camera array as the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (which I really enjoyed when I reviewed it upon release), the choice is easier for users who were previously on the fence.
The colour profile of the Z Fold 8 Ultra’s (left) portrait mode is similar to the Galaxy S26 Ultra (centre), while the iPhone 17 Pro Max (right) is less saturated. Images: Alice Clarke.You get a telephoto camera with the Z Fold 8 Ultra (left, 3x zoom), like other flagship phones, including the Galaxy S26 Ultra (centre, 3x zoom) and iPhone 17 Pro Max (right, 2x zoom). Images: Alice Clarke.
As you can see from these galleries, these cameras are excellent. Of course, it comes down to personal preference, and I’m still annoyed by how noisy the suggested extra zoom options are. But have a scroll through the galleries, compare, and see what you like best.
Click on each photo to get a closer look. Images: Alice Clarke.You probably won’t get much use out of the Fold 8 Ultra’s digital zoom beyond 10x. Images: Alice Clarke.
From a reviewing standpoint, the cameras were as easy to use and customise as you’d expect (though these photos were taken on default settings for demonstration purposes). I didn’t use any of the generative AI options on these photos, firstly because they go against everything I want when taking a photograph, but also because I wanted you to see the unedited results. What you do with your photos after you take them is up to you.
Even the Fold 8 Ultra’s selfie camera (left) is noticeably better than the base Fold 8 (right). Images: Alice Clarke.
Who is the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra for?
Having tried the vast majority of folding phones released in Australia over the last seven years, I can confidently say that this is the best and most feature-packed folding phone available. I also don’t think everyone needs this kitchen sink of folding phones.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is for people who want a phone that will allow them to multitask multiple apps on a large screen, and have the large pockets (and budget) to accommodate it. It’s got the best of everything, and most users aren’t ever going to get close to taking advantage of all its excellent features.
While the regular Z Fold 8 is for people who want a solid and entertaining phone, this is for productivity maxxers, gamers who want to be able to play bigger games on the go, and professional content creators.
