    Is $429 a record low price for LG G3 16GB?

    • jimjenkins on 13/12/2014 - 20:55
      +9

      It's certainly a nice price.

      I'm a bit torn now, for an extra $70 Kogan have a grey import with 3GB ram, 32GB space and a 1 year 'Australian warranty'.

        ^ This

        Don't underestimate the 3GB ram effect on the phone performance.

        Yeah good price too but it's really $105 more with delivery

        • MadMaxBargainRoad on 13/12/2014 - 21:53

          Hate to lose the 1G ram but can't justify for $100

          @TRENT86: read online, the extra RAm is Def worth it.

          It's the diff between a Laggy phone and a fast phone. It's has a 4k screen it really needs the extra ram.

          Just read online between the reviews and forums on between the 2gb and 3gb versions, you will see heaps of issues in the 2gb but barely any on the 3gb

          @lplau: I say go for it if you want the 3GB Was just saying it's not $70 extra it's $105 and a yr less warranty for those who wouldn't know :)

          @lplau:

          1440p is not 4k but yes, the 3GB ram really helps.

        • jimjenkins on 14/12/2014 - 14:07

          It's a 2 year warranty if you use a BankWest Zero card based on Kogan's "Australian warranty". Kogan do free delivery deals every month, one should be coming up soon.

        • lplau on 14/12/2014 - 15:22
          +2

          @jimjenkins: No Need to wait.

          Get it from T-Dimension (AU$501 for the 32GB 3GB Version), my experience with their warranty process is ALOT better than Kogan.

          http://www.t-dimension.com/revamp/2010-06-26-2009-01-01-c-14…

          Kogan warranty takes upto 1 month to get something fixed. My experience with T-Dimension is around 1 week to get something fixed. When something is wrong, just take a video of the issue then upload to Youtube then email the link to them, they will then give you a Fedex account for you to mail it back to them for free. Then you will get a new phone sent to you.

          End to end is around 1-1.5week to get something fixed.

          I stopped buying from Kogan after finding out how atrocious their warranty is. T-Dimension being a full HK store (doesn't pretend to be Australian like Kogan), does ALOT better service. I recommend people to start boycotting Kogan.

      • TRENT86 on 13/12/2014 - 21:24

        Yeah they were all in the unlocked section bar the m8 so shouldn't be locked

    • annarchon on 13/12/2014 - 20:57
      +1

      I think the question is

      http://i.imgur.com/zI0F9aG.png

      These phones are most likely excess contract phones, so there is a chance that they are unlocked. But……. if you wait, they will probably get ozbargained in no time flat….

      So how do you feel?

  • annarchon on 13/12/2014 - 20:39

    Sigh, didn't realise the M7 only have Snapdragon 600……

    • Ronnnie on 13/12/2014 - 23:21

      The M7 is heading towards 2 years old, you'll find the flagship phones of its generation with the s600. The s800 wasn't available till later in the year, the nexus 4 that came out just before it use an s4 pro. So yeah the HTC M7 is getting old now.

      • Jackson on 14/12/2014 - 00:18
        +4

        Been using one for a year, only problem is battery life. Never had an issue with performance no matter what I have done, so not sure why anyone would be splitting hairs over the processor

        • leonheart1 on 14/12/2014 - 03:18

          Surely it at least gets you through a day? How many hours of SoT do you get?

        • chriaj2689 on 14/12/2014 - 10:17

          You tried custom rom and kernel?

        • Ronnnie on 14/12/2014 - 14:41

          I'm not saying anything negative about the performance, just pointing out it had the best available soc at the time. Nothing wrong with the performance as far as I could tell, and it'll even be getting Lollipop, so the hardware still is fairing quite well. And HTC should be given props for supporting the phone for at least 2 years. On battery life, the One M7 was a huge improvement over my gnex. Of coarse there's better options available now, but yeah phones are starting to get bigger batteries.

        • Jackson on 14/12/2014 - 17:52

          @leonheart1: depends on the day, work day yes, weekend or if I head out after work I could be struggling

        • Jackson on 17/12/2014 - 20:54

          @chriaj2689: no, it's a work phone so haven't wanted to stuff around with it. Would if it was mine.

    Why does the M7 on the second pic look so different? Http://www.dicksmith.com.au/unlocked-mobile-phones/htc-one-m…

    There are 3 capacitive buttons, the back logo of the beats by dre is hugeee, no stereo speakers on the front? Whattt?

  • phunkyfeelone on 13/12/2014 - 20:48

    Flash the M7 with a generic Android ROM and you've got a hell of a bargain.
    Have one myself and it's magnificent, much better than the work iPhone - so much that I gave back the iPhone and had them set up the M7.

    • [Deactivated] on 13/12/2014 - 20:51
      +1

      Don't know why flashing a ROM is needed, I find Sense much better and faster than Vanilla android.

      • scrimshaw on 13/12/2014 - 21:09
        +13

        Sense faster than Vanilla? First I've ever heard somebody claim that a skinned android is faster than stock.

        I don't get why people like stock so much however. I flashed a few of my devices to stock Android and found it severely lacking in terms of features and 'polish' — that's when I figured out many modding communities usually take CM as the base and then add enhancements to it and come up with Mahdi, Paranoid Android etc. which IMO is much better than pure vanilla.

        • [Deactivated] on 13/12/2014 - 21:14

          I think faster wasn't the right word, but every time I use vanilla Android I need to go into developer settings to make animation speed .5x if that makes any sense to you.

        • scrimshaw on 13/12/2014 - 21:18
          +1

          You can access the Dev Settings on any device and on any Jelly bean/Kit Kat device regardless of ROM. It is usually a hidden menu and you need to tap Build Number about 10 times to access it.

        • [Deactivated] on 13/12/2014 - 21:20
          +1

          Yeah, I didn't say I couldn't get Dev settings though.
          I was just saying changing animation speed isn't needed for me when I use devices with new versions of Sense.

    Surprised there aren't more positive votes. The M8 is the cheapest price I've seen not to mention it's also local stock. If the phone comes unlocked I'll be extremely satisfied.

    If your HTC phone (I'm sure he can do any other phone) is locked bagman may be able to unlock for $5: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/108145
