    I think the 32GB Nexus 6 for $549 for a local store is considerably better value.

    • http://m.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-LG-G4-H815-32GB-4G-LTE-Factory-…

      That's not a bad alternative either. I weighed up both the 6 and the LG G4 and in the end went with the G4 for $20 more. Suits my needs more I think.

      • Can you clarify whether you get LG warranty with that ebay listing?

        • Almost certain I read LG Australia won't cover overseas purchases. Not sure about Taiwan.

          Personally never had to use warranty on almost anything I buy so it didn't bother me. I'd be posting it as a deal here if it had warranty but pretty sure some people wouldn't want to touch it.

        • Scrolling down on the eBay site has this. People on whirlpool have bought from them too.

          12 months local store warranty in Australia*
          Items can be returned to Sydney for repair services for your peace of mind
          Warranty covers manufacture defects
          Warranty does NOT cover errors caused by improper usage of the product out of its limitations and/or intended purposes
          Buyers do not require any warranty documentations when claiming warranty
          Buyers pay for return postage

        • @geo365: Thanks, I read the ebay listing warranty info, but I took that to mean it is NOT an LG warranty. May not make a difference for some, but generally it is harder to find a bargain with Australian manufacturer's warranty.

        • @norkle: definitely not an LG warranty (its still a grey phone made in Taiwan) but yeh I don't think it generally makes a difference. You ship back to Sydney if there is an issue not like it has to go bsck overseas.

          Warranties are normally rubbish but if that's what you're after Harvey Norman have it for $744. I think that's the lowest with LG warranty I could find. Wasn't worth it for me compared to this deal.

    • Er yes but you got the storage wrong: it's better value (for users that can out up with it's faults) because it's 128GB.

      If it was 32GB it would not be better value at all IMO.

      • I got the storage right. You're looking at the Galaxy, not the Nexus.

        • I am corrected.

  • Not at this price s810 still having heat issues

    • SD810 in this is underclocked to avoid the heat issues apparently

    • Not only did Oneplus solve the heating, they actually 'overdid it' and now the phone runs cooler than most other phones out there, period. 200MHz underclock and LOTS of thermal paste, combined with an awesome cooling system and it worked wonders.

      • Good to know!

        Means there's hope for Sony's upcoming Z5 series ;)

        • http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/articles/206872-image/z5-…

          from:
          http://www.phonearena.com/news/Sony-Xperia-Z5-overheating-Sn…

          Though do bear in mind that these probably were under serious usage before these guys started testing with them (being a demo unit and all in IFA).

        • @Oversimplified: Those were prototypes (Note the Sony logo, or lack thereof), and I saw a video where they recorded a tonne of 4K video straight with no app shutdown. A teardown leaked of the Z5 Premium and it has a super beefy cooling system, most definitely why each Z5 is a fair bit thicker than the last generation. I also know a little birdy with insider information specifically on Sony, and they've worked extremely hard on the issues and it's almost non existent. So I do believe that it's fixed, though we can't judge until the retail units launch. Fingers crossed :P

        • @deanylev: I frankly think there is something wrong with Sony if they brought a prototype instead of the one they are going to release to IFA as a demonstration unit, i.e. the one that the journalists will do "hand-on" videos and such on. If they didn't have a functioning one, they should've not put an incomplete one as a demonstration unit.

          I have my doubts, simply because I feel like this has been repeated several times. They first claimed that there is no such thing as throttling problems with 810. Then after the first batch of products were released, Qualcomm mentioned that they will release a renewed version. Well, did renewed version solve the problem? If it requires a heatsink and additional weight associated with that, I wouldn't say the problem is solved. I think I'd rather wait for 820. At least, that's what Qualcomm seems to be focusing on as well (with the manufactuers needing to come up with a solution with using heatsinks and whatnot, I think Qualcomm probably is focussing on 820). Just my 2c.

        • @Oversimplified: Sony always bring prototypes to trade shows, and while they're normally quite similar to the final thing, they can actually differ a lot to the final thing. I had my doubts until Oneplus conquered the 810. Sony's engineering is unrivaled and I believe they can fix the issues. Then again I totally agree, Qualcomm and all the OEMs claimed the 810 rumors were bullshit, but they weren't at all. My buddies G Flex 2 gets so hot the phone turns white and shuts down during normal use.

          820 looks promising, but honestly I think Qualcomm may be rushing it out just like they did with 810. Plus, it'd have to at least match the Exynos 7420 to be competitive, and by then Samsung will be on to better things. Qualcomm have really fallen from their position as the SoC king. They used to be great, my Z2's S801 is absolutely fantastic and the phone still flies.

          It's a shame really. When Qualcomm felt the need to be competitive they made great products.

        • @deanylev: I should be less grumpy about it, sorry if it showed up in my words. It's just that Qualcomm messing up with 810 really did put a damper on one of my hobby (gawking at the new tech I s'ppose).

          I have my hopes with 820 at least. At least, if they mess up this time, I think other OEM manufacturers would've had the chance to prepare for it.

        • @Oversimplified: Not at all man, it's your opinion and we're having an intelligent discussion :)

          I totally agree, instead of being excited for new upcoming smartphones, I cringe when I see 810.

          Hopefully other OEMs like Samsung and LG start selling their SoCs to other companies.

        • @deanylev: LG nuclun 2 actually looked reasonable on the benchmark score. Though I guess it still is weird to see almost one year old SoC (at least by the time LG would release one with this) holding up against something that's not even released so well.

          http://www.phonearena.com/news/Rumor-LGs-has-a-second-Nuclun…

        • @Oversimplified: Yeah I heard about that. Their first Nuclun was awful I'm crossing my fingers this benchmark is real.

        • @deanylev: Also, I was not expecting the term deca to appear on mobile SoC front with mediatek's new SoC coming up.

          That said, I don't know, the benchmark seems reasonable (or maybe I am hoping it is reasonable, who knows) considering that LG is rumoured to be using newer architecture (A72) and the chances are, they've used development board to test it (even 810 looked alright on the development board, as far as I remember).

          http://www.arm.com/products/processors/cortex-a/cortex-a72-p…

          Next year should be more interesting at least.

        • @Oversimplified: A72 better be amazing. Not many people know this, but the reason behind the 810 and 808 and 615's heating issues were actually due to the A53 and ESPECIALLY A57 cores. They were poorly designed, that's why Qualcomm is using Kyro for 820. Exynos 7420 gets fairly hot in the S6 and Edge, but due to 14nm and better thermal management is much less talked about.

        • @deanylev: True, but wasn't Exynos 5433 with a53 and a57 as well in 20nm? I remember hearing about how Samsung have modified the cores significantly, but I would assume that it wouldn't be as drastic (since well, 810 didn't happen with 5433).

          Though I do admit, I remember hearing about big.LITTLE solution and the architecture itself was the cause of the problem (though, I thought it was just a rumour).

          Regardless, next year would be interesting with kyro, mongoose, etc etc.

        • @Oversimplified: Actually yeah you're totally right, all Samsung did was disable 64 Bit support in 5433.

          big.LITTLE was also the problem, but A57/A53 made it 10x worse.

          And yeah, can't wait for next year's custom cores. ARM 64 Bit had growing pains, but 2016 will fix that.

        • @deanylev: I heard that the only reason they've disabled 64 bit support was because 805 does not support 64 bits, so if someone from XDA or somewhere actually gets that working…

          Anyways, next year should be awesome (hopefully).

        • @Oversimplified: Exactly, it would've been bad having a 32 Bit and 64 Bit Note 4. That'd be cool, but I think it's buried pretty deep in the firmware/kernel. I think if they could've they would've by now.

          Yeah hopefully no more false promises. Custom cores FTW :D

        • @deanylev: Yes, custom cores. I hope they bring back the rapid improvement rate that we had before

  • +9

    would love to own one of these.. but not unless it was closer to AUD$300-350

  • +1

    Don't give in to the hype. This phone isn't worth it. The only thing flagship is the CPU and it's not great either.

    • +1

      No NFC, no fast charging, no wireless charging. That's about all the main cons.

      Nexus 5X coming out end of September. Personally I'd wait and see what's in offer before deciding to buy anything.

  • I am seriously tempted by this device but I will hold off - more because I want to "downsize" my smartphone and use a larger tablet for gaming when I'm out (gym mainly in my case) than anything else.

    But if I was considering a Note like phone and I could live without the stylus this is what I'd be getting right now as it is exceptionally powerful and good bang for buck. The Note series are now not what I'd call good bang for buck ;)

    • I mean Note 4s are cheap and getting cheaper by the day, with a better screen and hardware than the 1+2, in my opinion they're a good bang for the buck.

  • +2

    be aware of faulty home button issues. Parallel importing and warranty would be a pain to deal with.

    • Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that a firmware issue?

      • No, its a hardware fault. I know someone who bought one from Hong Kong and the home button / fingerprint reader slowly deteriorated and just died after about 2 weeks of use now.

        • That's pretty pathetic. Maybe their quality control isn't too great.

  • +5

    One Plus is too expensive. This is LG / Sony Flagship territory in price range and definitely would prefer those two premium brands over this.

    • -8

      Totally agree.

      One Plus is just another cheap chinese knockoffs. Would never ever spend that kind of money on a no name brand.

      Specs isn't everything.

    • +1

      Totally agree. To be fair, it's not there fault really, as in the US $329/$389 for this phone is an absolute steal. But here, once you convert it and add the seller's fees on top, it's definitely not good value.

  • +4

    As per the discussion on the deal below. This phone doesn't have 700Mhz 4G which makes it an issue for at least Telstra and Optus
    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/209328

  • Free invite on classifieds available for official OnePlus store

  • Its missing a few bands that is good to have here in Australia, and also missing NFC. Otherwise a great phone at this price!

  • +1

    I have the OnePlus one and it has been one of the best phones I have ever had. ( purchased around sept last year) Better than the Samsung s4 and got one for my Partner who had a s5. (also mother in law as well now) She much prefers her oneplus one over her Samsung. No bloatware. Fast and does everything we need it to do. I do IT support for my Work and it works perfectly. If the oneplus Two is half as good as the oneplus one then it's worth it…..

  • For anyone thinking of getting it via the invite system, be aware that it doesn't ship to Aus, you'll have to register US address via auspost. So basically you're paying 2 shipping fees.

    On another note, if you find it for anything less than $499AU (inclusive of shipping costs) it's a steal.

    My only hope is that the camera on the OPT is better than the first phone, which was mediocre at best.

    • don't worry about this, can pay by paypal and ship to global including Australia …cheers!

  • For that price why not buy LG G4.

  • Eh.. no.
