New LG V30+ Vs Used Samsung Galaxy S9

Hi all,

I purchased a v30+ from JB deal last week and gave it to my daughter..

Now, I need a phone for myself: I'm trying to decide between:

  1. V30+ from JB for $479
  2. used s9+ from gumtree for about $200 more
  3. Brand new sealed s9 from gumtree for $250 more

Camera (back camera, don't use front selfie) and battery are number 1 priorities

Thoughts? Thanks!

  • Battery is definitely better on the LG. My partner has s9 i have v30+. Really not much between them. I prefer the bigger screen on the LG but others might like the edge on the s9. Seems a little more "premium"

    Lots of review sites comparing cameras on both phones. I find the LG one fine for what it is as is the S9 but I use a full frame Nikon for anything important so havent gone into pixel peeping the differences.

    LG has 2 years factory support vs what off gumtree? cant see the value in paying that much more for a 2nd hand or grey market s9 but I may have a different opinion in a few months!

    • Valid points you make.. Thanks :)
      I believe the gumtree s9 will have warranty as its purchased from telstra

      I love Samsung.. But enough to pay more? Not sure

      Need to make up my mind by today too

  • Get it back from your daughter, Give her a second hand iPhone6

  • I bought a LG v30+ & i recommend the s9 due to these reasons. I too have Bluetooth issues that cannot be fixed without LG support.
