          QLD and NSW are getting rid of them. Soon it will be NFC or credit card.

          So NFC will be a big deal soon.

          Wait, so the only way to travel will be if you have a credit card or an NFC capable device?

          So how are people who can't get (or don't want) a credit card, nor a more expensive NFC-capable device expected to pay? Seniors? Young school kids? Low-income folks? Hey, anyone really.

          That's going to have the advocacy groups going nuts if it hasn't already.

        considering how many years it took and the $600M+ to deploy for ticketing system in melbourne, will be a while before we are using NFC for trams, trains or buses.

        Will be Myki to swiping and credit card for recharging for a few phone upgrades yet.

      • Oofy Doofy on 27/02/2018 - 22:14

          Haha, I am part of your 1%, more like at least 5% of the population at least for some of their time/service spent on the move outside of good 3g/4g reception areas or often even where they live. For me, often if I don't get Voda b5 or Telstra/Optus b28 it either super slow or no go. People in cities forget how big Australia really is.

    Reviews suggest its prone to overheating problems? In that case the battery wouldn't last long at all and on top of that, its non-removable.

      As mention by "garage sale" from the last posting linked above, this seems to be isolated to a few people who most likely are maxing this out

      whilst gaming. For the average to moderate user, cpu and battery should perform well enough.

      Just wish this had a black face option instead of white only :-(

      Do you need dual sim? I don't know of any phones that can actually do 3G/4G on both sims at once, and there's not much point having 2G in Australia.

      LeRee, Le Pro 3 AI, LeEco Cool 1 Dual, Sharp Z2 (this phone) are all made by LeEco. Prices between 105-150USD. Only this one and Cool 1 Dual has microSD and 3.5mm earphone jack. The rest uses USB-C to 3.5mm adapter. All phones comes with Dual SIM 4g/3g or 3g/4g.

      • ozhunter68 on 28/02/2018 - 10:03

        Good summary. Just a shame you can't switch from a strong fast 4G/B28 Optus or Telstra reception to a strong fast Vodafone 4G/B5

        reception as it's unfortunately lacking that band. If it was not for this, I would have jumped on this, yes, even a white faced model lol.

    I bought this one on Sunday because CPU Cores: Deca Core, and CPU Frequency: 2.3GHz with added SD External Memory Capacity up to 128Gb unlike LeRee, Le Pro 3 doesn't have External Memory Capacity option.
    I paid lot more
    Subtotal (1 items): USD $115.19
    Shipping Charges & Insurance: USD $13.88
    Grand Total: USD $129.07

    I am not sure battery is good enough 3000ma for deca core..
    The camera seems to be less or average qualities comparing Samsung, iphone especially indoors..

    • lostn on 28/02/2018 - 19:46

      deca core uses less power not more. It has 3 cpus of varying power and will use the weakest one needed for the task, which will consume less energy.

  • idonotknowwhy on 28/02/2018 - 10:32

    This looks like great for the price, I didn't even know SHARP made phones.
    Word of warning though: MediaTek SOC
    I've had a few of these and they're not as good as QC. I've had the following general issues on a few budget/mid-tier phones with these sorts of SOCs:
    -> Overheating
    -> Slower than equivalent QC
    -> Limited/no android updates
    -> Some games don't support it.

    That said, this is amazing for AU$115!

        Comes with a clear case anyway. But seriously take a look at the vid. They could've made it the same thickness all around the screen but they didn't -_- If the face was black then it'd be way less noticeable too.
