  • I can't believe that this model is still for sale! I've had two more phones since I got rid of mine.

    if its new and genuine with manufacturer warranty, Why is it in a white box?
    sound like refurb

    SoC Snapdragon 808, Storage 16/32 GB, RAM 2 GB RAM, Battery 2700mAh in 2018 = FAIL

    Cheaper here anyway;

    • 16gb on the ebay link, 32 in the ozb post. Not a fair comparison.

    With a 2 year warranty, it's probably worth it.

    This phone is almost guaranteed to Bootloop at some point, I bought 2 of them roughly 2 years ago for about $320 each. Both had the same bootlooping issue within months of each other, Kogan replaced both under warranty, but I'm just waiting for it to happen at some point. As a basic phone, it passes the test, but don't expect premium performance at this price point. Struggles for 2-3 days after updating to a new version of Android, absolute loss of battery within hours even on standby, then it seems to sort itself out.

    32GB of capacity seems kind of small these days with spotify downloads/photos/apps etc, but I'm still using it as my main phone and have been for 2 years. It's getting laggy with apps, the camera sometimes flat out refuses to open and the phone has to be restarted for it to work.

    I make it sound like it's horrible, but I've enjoyed having it, and would amazingly even consider buying again at this price just because the next jump up into "good phone" territory outright is probably in the $600+ range.

      Lmao, proud owner of a Nexus 5 since launch and I've had every single one of these problems. Particularly empathise with the camera issue lol

    I have one of these and suffered the legit bootloop issue.

    Tried all the fixes for it on xda, including custom recovery, custom rom, custom boot.img, you name it, nothing worked. I ended up buying a motherboard replacement from Aliexpress that came with 32gb/4gb. It was a massive hassle and took several months. it is working well with the new motherboard, but battery is terrible.

    I would not recommend this phone

    Rather get a cheap xiaomi than this phone.

  • Halve the price and we'll talk.

    Mine also boot looped. LG fixed it though and I sold mine off.

    Get a Nokia 6 2018 instead. Its cheap and supports b28 and NFC.

  • maybe the Xiaomi A1 is better at this price range?

  • What still available!!

  • My 5X also bootlooped. Would not recommend.

  • +1

    I must be the lucky one. Mine still works since release day.

  • Two questions: how and why?

    • My guess is I don't play games on it. Only used it for work to read emails, calls, occasional photo. Didn't even use navigation so I guess the CPU was never worked hard. Still have it as a spare as work replaced it with a Pixel 2 now.

      • Haha I wasn't meaning you specifically, I was meaning the OP but now on further thought I would also be asking you those same questions :D

        Yeah that's alright - but problems are to be expected for some people now the device is approaching 3 years. Definitely wouldn't recommend picking up a new one now.

        • Haha sorry. How:Old stock probably. I see them at phone shops still. Why:Not everyone wants to spend over 800 on a new smartphone.

        • @bogak: haha I was meaning more present then past but yeah that's true.
          Why try to sell it for $249 now? I guess it's a last ditch effort but still.

    I sincerely DENOUNCE this product.

    It died within 1 year of using. Boot loops are a serious disease with LG phones.

    There is NOTHING you can do to fix it except replace it or get it repaired. Not a great phone at this price.

    I've never been more disappointed in a product with such a small issue that could be avoided.

  • Worst phone I've ever owned after the 7.1 update, battery life is a few hours.

    • You can downgrade to original 6.0 using NRT toolkit and it is better than 7.1, but still worst battery life compare to others

    • comes with Android 6.0 (Marshmallow), upgradable to Android 8.0 (Oreo)

  • My wife has the original 5X and it is struggling in 2018. Not snappy enough. Sure it's patched and on the latest OS but it stuggles to multitask.

  • New??? Not refurbished? Have they been sitting in a safe for the last 2 years untouched?

    • Brand New Australian stock with Manufacturer warranty in Australia

      • That is impossible. Where are you getting these new from?
