      Then in the trash it goes.

        Same, my LG G2 kicks butt. I was recently given an iPhone 6 for work. Tried it for a week, am going back to the G2.

          @stargalaxy: Main annoyance is the photo storage. Throws everything into camera roll instead of albums for each app. Also find the UI quite stale. No NFC. No back button. I know there are probably work arounds for all of these things, but I couldn't be bothered.

        • stargalaxy on 24/08/2015 - 15:30
          +4

          @Peace Maker: Ya, no back button is annoying especially if you are used to Android. I always forget how to go back on my ipod. I was give a iPhone 5 for work 2 years ago and would have given it a go if the screen is bigger, but I have big thumb and finger, so need a big phone. LG G flex 2 is my main driver nowadays and Note 3 is the back up.

          @Peace Maker:
          Back button: that's just getting used to the UI having on-screen back button. I was fine without having the back button when I was using the 3GS. Now that I'm on Note 3, every time I use someone elses iphone, I tap next to home button and got nothing.

          It's similar to when everyone complained about MS Office when they introduced the Ribbon.

      A lot of people don't realise that ram on your phone doesn't work the same way as it does on your computer. If you are reaching your limit, your phone will cull off the inactive apps, so it shouldn't slow down whatever it is that you're currently doing. So most of the time on an android phone, your phone will actually try and cache as much as possible. My note 4 has 1.5gb of bloat on startup, i wouldn't be surpised if it has similar usable ram as this 2gb phone. Still works fine (mostly).

      I'm kinda surprised that this phone is this cheap considering the spec's. Seems like a great deal to me.

    How does this compare with a G3?

  • ESEMCE on 24/08/2015 - 14:42
    +9

    From what I can find, this has LTE Bands 1/3/5/7/8/17

    So Good for:
    2100MHz (B1) FDD – Telstra (a handful of sites), Optus (Darwin, Tasmania)
    1800MHz (B3) FDD – Telstra, Optus, Vodafone
    850MHz (B5) FDD – Vodafone (refarming 5Mhz of this frequency to be 4G across all metro areas, claiming by end of 2014)
    2600MHz (B7) FDD – Optus, Telstra. (TPG have a license but have not announced plans for it.)
    900MHz (B8) FDD – Telstra (a handful of sites, utilises spectrum previously used by 2G)

    Missing:
    700MHz (B28)FDD – Telstra, Optus
    2300MHz (B40)TDD – Optus (Vivid wireless spectrum), NBN
    3500MHz (B42)TDD – Optus, NBN (trials at this stage)

    • nickj on 24/08/2015 - 15:42

      The missing 700 MHZ band 28 is the biggest problem. Australian 4G bands in decreasing order of importance, based on number of current active towers, combined with info from scubacoles:

      Spectrum(Band) Telstra Optus Vodafone Total Category Phone has
      1800 (Band 3) 3413 2788 2506 8707 Essential Yes
      700 (band 28) 932 2244 0 3176 very very desirable No
      850 (band 5) 0 0 1710 1710 good to have Yes
      2300 (band 40) 0 1621 0 1621 good to have No
      2600 (band 7) 107 1260 0 1367 good to have Yes
      2100 (band 1) 57 144 0 201 irrelevant at the moment Yes
      900 (band 8) 56 0 0 56 irrelevant at the moment Yes

      • dosada on 24/08/2015 - 17:21

        Why do you assume that it doesn't do 700? The specs on the Kogan listing say

        4G Network (MHz)
        700 / 850 / 900 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600

        • murkywater on 24/08/2015 - 17:47
          +3

          It has Band 17 which is 700mhz, but different from the Band 28/700mhz that is required in Australia.

      • zan5hin on 24/08/2015 - 17:47
        +1

        What we need, is a database of all handsets available in Australia and also ordered online from overseas, that support 700 (band 28). I looked for a wiki on Whirlpool and there isn't one….

        The articles on what phones are available are mostly 12 months old, back when the Telstra 4GX network was launched.

        • Mamong on 24/08/2015 - 18:28

          http://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?s4Gs=28

          That should show most Band 28 phones, it's pretty helpful to check whether a phone is listed there when looking.

        • murkywater on 24/08/2015 - 21:12
          +2

          @Mamong: Most phones have different variants for different regions, not all variants will support Band 28, so that has to be researched as well. Quite annoying.

        So all good for Vodafone?

        • nickj on 25/08/2015 - 14:55
          +1

          Looks perfect for Vodafone. Although my preferred strategy personally is to stay flexible and be able to move at will between any of the 3 networks - I can't stand lock-in. Basically that means the top 5 spectrum(band) entries (by number of towers) will give you that flexibility.

          Now that's the theory, but in practice getting a phone that has all those bands is rather hard - the iPhone 6 has all the bands, as well as around ~ 10 Android phones - but it's definitely harder than it should be, and in particular for 700 Mhz (band 28) is often missing, presumably because it's not that important in overseas markets.

    • stargalaxy on 24/08/2015 - 15:38

      LG G Flex2 absolutely, I have both. It is more comfortable to hold, screen is better and looks sexier and it is faster than Asus, I have the 4GB RAM Asus but it is slower than the LG.

    • scud70 on 24/08/2015 - 16:14

      LG Flex :)

    • [Deactivated] on 24/08/2015 - 16:55

      Gflex.

      Lighter. Smaller. Sexier.

    • murkywater on 24/08/2015 - 21:13

      I have a Zenfone 2. I'd say get the Flex 2. Annoyed by occasional lag (maybe because I got the slower 2GB one?).

    • [Deactivated] on 24/08/2015 - 23:13

      Apparently the flex2 is a bit of a lagfest and overheating as well, in that case I'd say the zenfone.
      The lag might be because the throttling of the S810 CPU.
      (Saw this in a forum, don't have one so I can't comment on whether it's true)

    • OrbDaggerZ on 25/08/2015 - 23:23

      Looks like 4 to 1?, which will you go with?

      I hope if I get the flex, that overheating & throttling or lag wont be a issue.

      Trying to decide if I should pull the pin in Flex2 myself, to replace my Samsung piece of f*in **beep alpha shit.

      What I do like is that the Zen comes in a 64GB spec, shame Flex 2 doesn't (if I'm correct).

      Kinda worried about warranty with a OS importer.

      I wonder how painful they are to deal with?

    • 123bargain on 26/08/2015 - 14:47

      Thanks for all the feedback. After days of contemplation, finally chose the LG Flex 2 :)

    • Elijah on 26/08/2015 - 15:53

      NOW we wait and see if Kogan ship it in less than 3 weeks or if they get back saying we never had stock in the first place…

    • OrbDaggerZ on 26/08/2015 - 23:34

      Looking on Asus site, it seems the TW is the only version with band 28/700 (will be using Optus), so how does one confirm if its a specific release, as some sites don't mention its 4G specs,eg shopping square?
      Am I right in thinking that Kogan is not the TW version?

      • Elijah on 27/08/2015 - 18:52

    Does the SD 810 get hot on this handset?

    • scud70 on 24/08/2015 - 16:22

      it was always thought to be throttled for that reason but i believe the new version of android has fixed most those issues.

    • stargalaxy on 24/08/2015 - 16:26

      Normal use, no, it does get to about 30-35 degree. I think if you play games a lot and open a lot of apps at same time, it may get hotter than 30-35 degree, I am sure a lot of us here know that the Snapdragon 810 is also known as Firedragon, for me personally, I did not notice any difference with my Note 3 or Asus Zenfone2 or my old LG G2.
