    pricematch is just a bonus on the way if you purchase the LG G2 from The Good Guys, for a $22.80 of saving, why not?

  • Moderatorhamza23 on 18/04/2014 - 19:52

    I've updated deal to meet price match posting guidelines

      +4

      if you wait for lg g3, by rumour and also mostly be true, the price would be around 800-900 coz of the 2k screen or 600-700 if cheapest, with around $400 for a great phone, I would say yes and give it go ;), I got mine with a bit higher price but never complain about it since, the battery blows my iphone 5s away lol

  • Lenneth on 18/04/2014 - 20:33

    LG G2 or the S4 i9506??? arghhhh.

    • webtherapist on 18/04/2014 - 20:43
      +5

      G2 for sure, not biased but the fact is the CPU is less hot and faster then S4, the battery is much longer and better (very quick charging, try it to believe it ;) ), the Knock knock to unlock as well as the flip cover comes with it are awesome plus the KitKat 4.4 update rolled out by end of Apr to include the KnockCode or something (can;t remember lol) which is very secured and you can totally forget about typing code but knock the code to unlock your phone, Most importantly, the price and etc

    • webtherapist on 18/04/2014 - 20:45

      oh, the screen and its colour can blow the S4 away too lol

    • gryphn on 18/04/2014 - 20:47

      Another + for the G2

      Truly one of the better if not best phones on the market. Specs/Display/Battery still whoop even newly released flagships.
      With 4.4 imminent it will breathe a whole new life into the device.

      • johnn on 18/04/2014 - 21:50
        +1

        The S4 i9506 that Lenneth is referring to has an update to the regular S4 CPU to the 2.3 GHz Krait 400, which is the same as the G2 except clocked just slightly higher (2.3Ghz vs 2.26Ghz).

        Other things to keep in mind are the lack of microSD slot and non-removable battery of the G2. The camera on the S4 is also noticeably better despite both being 13MP shooters (LG has never been good at making quality cameras for their phones).

        Although yes, as mentioned the G2 screen is (depending on preference) better (and larger at 5.2" vs 5.0") and has a bigger battery. With this deal also it's cheaper than the equivalent local stock of the i9506.

        So weigh up which combination you prefer- expandable memory, removable battery and better camera (i9506) vs better(?) screen, bigger battery and cheaper (G2)

        • picket23 on 18/04/2014 - 23:48

          One of the reasons I got the g2 was because more of the reports/reviews I saw on it said the camera was better than the s4. Not all of them, but a lot thought the g2 had the upper hand. I'm personally not sure if that's the case as the g2 does leave a bit to be desired on the camera front in certain situations. I find the shutter speed a bit too slow to capture moving objects (they can be blurred.) Hopefully there is some improvement on 4.4, but I haven't heard of this making a significant difference. I have taken some great pics with it though, so if I can solve the moving targets issue I will be 100% satisfied with the phone.

        • Bunnyburger on 20/04/2014 - 02:37

          I thought the G2 was superior because of the OIS in the camera. Any thoughts on that?

  • WatchNerd on 18/04/2014 - 20:51

    It doesn't have a Micro SD Slot and the battery isn't removable, in case you didn't know.

    TGG 120% difference applies only after purchases and I wouldn't risk it unless there is an Allphone store near the TGG store you are buying from otherwise they will come up with some excuses to get away with it.

    • webtherapist on 18/04/2014 - 21:58

      mostly they can do it straightaway without dramas, I normally just show them the prices on my mobile phones and the salesperson is more than happy to do the deal. it also depends who you are dealing though, think you ran into a difficult one :)

      • wtfnodeal on 18/04/2014 - 22:26

    • webtherapist on 18/04/2014 - 21:56

      go to TGG to tell them pricematch Allphones ($499) to get 120% of the difference off which is $22.80, pay it with Amex Credit Card (over $250 at The Good Guys for $50 credit back), go home and claim another $50 on LG Australia website ;)

      • y12345678 on 18/04/2014 - 22:10

        a true ozbargainer will split the bill—-pay by Amex $250 (to get $50) + ing card $99 (to get 5% rebate) + gift cards bought by ing for the rest $$$ (5% rebate)

        so you can get final price of $414.89 , ie. an addition $11.31 off!

    • Bappy on 19/04/2014 - 10:27

      Yes - it seems like the phone is only available online

    Bought this from HN the other day for $518 (16gb) and will get the $50 cashback. Not nearly as good as some of the deals going around but very happy with the phone overall, after 3 generations of Samsung phones (S1-S3) this definitely feels like a proper upgrade.

    Agree with people on here that this seems to be the best value phone on the market right now.

    • Diji1 on 19/04/2014 - 12:02

      I think Sony Xperia Ultra Z is easily best value in terms of specification although it's definitely too large for some people.

      16G LTE is $431 ($438 if you want to avoid a potentially dodgy vendor in Top Buy and use Ebay instead).

      But at the screen size it is the LG is pretty hard to beat.

      • Ronnnie on 19/04/2014 - 12:31
        +1

        The main fault with the Xperia Ultra Z is the camera. Many people care about the quality of the camera's in their phones.

    Got the 32gb from JB Hifi a few weeks ago for $510, coming from an iPhone5, I'm very impressed with this phone. Battery life lasts me over 2 days with normal use. $50 LG rebate plus claiming it on TRS was just an icing on the cake for me.

    A lot of comments about non-replaceable battery, how many people do you know actually carry a spare battery with them? The quick charge adapter that comes with the unit is great and as mentioned above, 3000 mah you'd be pushing it really hard to use all that up in a day.

    No SD card slot - I use a cheap OTG cable with my 64gb compact USB stick.

    I got use to the knock on to turn the display on and off I find myself doing it on my iPad as we'll.

    Last but not the least… That SCREEN!!! Gorgeous.

    • Diji1 on 19/04/2014 - 11:58

      My problem isn't with carrying batteries (I think a powerbank is much more convenient albeit more expensive) it's the fact that batteries fail.

      In fact of all the phone's I've owned the only thing that has failed is the battery in fact.

      However great price for the phone which I read a lot of good things about.

      Oh and I can't live without an SD slot - that kills it for me. Again because of the inconvenience of carrying an additional item.

      • netsurfer on 19/04/2014 - 14:44

        What phones were they? As for battery failing, were they genuine batteries? It is very common for low end Android phones to have replaceable batteries. Due to they are being low end, they often come with fairly average batteries.

        I found non-genuine batteries seem good at first. However, they don't last as long as the original. Those non-genuine batteries have low lifespan. Also, dodgy chargers are not good for your batteries either.

        Anyway, if you had flagship phones and your usage pattern ended up needing a new battery on a regular basis (every 6-9 months) then most definitely you need a flagship phone with replaceable battery. For me, it is generally the phone starting to fall apart (or getting sluggish) before the battery goes.

        Unless you have really high smartphone usage, generally, the battery should last 2 years. Then, it is time to get a new phone.

  • d351 on 19/04/2014 - 14:44

    Hi all, first post.. I have the Virgin Red Velocity AMEX Credit card, does it qualify for the $50 statement credit? or only AMEX cards issued direct by AMEX?

    Just remember that David Jones are pretty much Dick Smith. Just had on hold a white 32gb Lg G2 at parramatta david jones for $498 (Includes the $50 off from their instore price). My partner decided he wanted black, so i rang around and got Jb Hi Fi to price match. I have now called up David Jones Parramatta to put the phone back on the shelf. Hopefully someone is following this forum and wants a cheap LG G2!

  • mb5802002 on 22/04/2014 - 21:49

    Couldn't understand why you guys not trying to buy from Kogan as their price is less than the price of JB Hi Fi, LG G2 32G Black is $449, this is $100 less than the price of the cheapest one even with cash back.

        Kogan price is LG G2 32G Black $449, and this is the price without cash bask as they are grey impot. just add P+H to the above price.

        • Peace Maker on 23/04/2014 - 07:44

          Because shipping is around $23. If you can get local stock for $510 ($460 after cash back) or Kogan's grey stock for $473 including P&H. I think you can work out why we are all trying to get it for less than $550 from JB. Most ppl here are happy to pay a small price premium for local stock also.
