    Looks like it's been updated to Android Oreo 8.1 too - ticks a lot of boxes for a cheap android phone!

      It's snappy enough for a budget phone. Much more smooth than my oppo f1s

    Bought one for my wife a while back and it goes well, aided by the amount of internal memory. Previous Androids always had memory related issues. Battery life seems good too.

    • Agret on 09/03/2019 - 10:19

      Yeah I would say 3GB ram is really the minimum for a good experience these days. Great budget phone.

      • Diji1 on 09/03/2019 - 20:09

        I would say that it's 1GB still to have a good experience.

        I have no issues with 2GB.

  • LesDon on 09/03/2019 - 09:28

    worth the upgrade from the S6?

    • Han Solo on 09/03/2019 - 11:10
      +7

      Not a phone expert, but I think it would only be slightly better than your S6, if I was you I would wait for another higher end phone to be on sale and go with that.
      That being said, if your S6 has completely kicked the bucket and you need a new phone fast this could be the one, people seam pretty happy with them.

  • 0xDEADBEEF on 09/03/2019 - 09:33

    I bought this phone about 9 months ago when I smashed my flagship phone, and just couldn't bring myself to spend another $1000+.
    It has been a great little phone.
    Battery life is very good, camera is decent, dual sim can come in handy, android 8.1 is a plus.
    Only negatives are that it can get a little laggy when you have a few intensive apps open, but its manageable.
    And the back plastic does scratch very easily.

    But given you could literally buy 10 of these phones for the price of a Galaxy s10 plus, I think its a no brainer.

  • nubzy on 09/03/2019 - 09:43

    No NFC just kills it for me, it is a must in a modern smartphone. I'd probably take Moto G6 over this.

    • R4 on 09/03/2019 - 12:50

      Agree. The lack of NFC on Xiaomi phones has stopped me buying them

        • Ostrk on 09/03/2019 - 13:47

          Like they said, mobile payments. Some people I know don't even carry wallets around anymore because of NFC. Using google/apple pay.

              +2

              @belongsinforums: Ofcs but a lot of people just get a thick wallet case for their phone that carries all of their essential cards. It is possible to completely rule out wallets if you want to.

          • asa79 on 09/03/2019 - 23:21

            @Ostrk: When they get old enough to drive, they will need to carry a license around

            • lbft on 11/03/2019 - 08:15

              @asa79: Phone cases exist to hold licenses and other cards, some people live and work in places where they can get by purely on public transport and rideshare, and digital drivers licences are becoming a thing (since 2017 in SA, full rollout later this year in NSW, etc.)

              • asa79 on 11/03/2019 - 09:09

                @lbft: You still required to produce identification if requested

                • lbft on 11/03/2019 - 09:45

                  @asa79: The whole point of a digital license is that it is your identification.

                  During trials you might still need the physical card.

                  • asa79 on 11/03/2019 - 17:05

                    @lbft: There is no digital licence yet

      This LG is probably faster unless you run the S5 on a custom ROM. My stock S5 was really laggy.

  • Fobsessive on 09/03/2019 - 16:15

    Only negative is the 28nm processor technology. Theoretically not as efficient (power, heat) as a great midrange Snapdragon 6xx 14nm chip.

      Moto Z2 Play is a snappy budget phone with 8-11hr SOT on Wifi.

    • Kikkoman56 on 11/03/2019 - 16:24

      I would say not really… both are Octa core A53 processors on a 28nm process.
      Infact your RN2 is higher clocked than this but benchmarks seem to put them about par.
      Probably more of a sidegrade if anything.

  • Jace81 on 10/03/2019 - 20:56

    The market is so saturated with phones now. You can get a great phone for under $200, why would you go on a contract?

  • Associatedrayray78 @ JB Hi-Fi on 11/03/2019 - 07:00

    After N years of my G3, the damn screen finally playing up yesterday, it will go off after 10 secs or just dim itself like haunting movie. So I bought this phone hopefully will run exactly the same as my G3. Heaps of stock at the JB Broadway. Thx!

    • jaydee4 on 14/03/2019 - 22:45

      I was just looking at this for the same reason! The screen on my G3 goes dark/fades after about 5mins of use. If you take the battery out and let it rest for about 10mins you can briefly use it again. Think it's a cooling issue behind the power button.
