            @bobokingdom: Promises is one thing but actual support is another. According to GSMarena the phone was released with Android 12 and more than a year later it is still on 12. Even my 3-year-old 4a 5G is already on 14.

(Pixel series are Google so you can't compare with other manufacturers.). Pixel 4A will receive it's last update next month but Nokia G60 will receive updates for another 2 years.

      Gorilla Glass 5 on the Nokia may be better for the clumsy users, but otherwise the G54 might be better due to the extra 2GB of RAM and slightly larger battery?

      • inherentchoice on 13/11/2023 - 04:32

        But this has eSIM, slightly larger screen and much better warranty. Plus it's cheaper.

        I believe this will cost $225.46 after Big W Ultimate gift card bonus 10%… anyone know if that's right and will this deal still be available on Thursday?

        • ChmpgneTasteBeerBdgt on 13/11/2023 - 08:45

          Very good points, the 3x3 warranty, OS and monthly security updates is great peace of mind. G54 also has e-sim, it's the extra RAM, slightly better processor(?), battery size and a year newer tech/supporting features that makes me think the G54 may perform better in real life usage, but I really don't know for sure.

          Nice tip regarding 10% off at BigW. Does BigW sell the G60? I can't see it on their website, but I can see they have the G54

            My real world G51 is dying on me after 10 months, perhaps battery related. But maybe that's because I dropped it on a busy road and it got run over by cars and then I did a DIY cheapo screen replacement.

          Many go Apple or Samsung lol. Wasn't that long ago I knew people that called micro USB cables "the Samsung cable".

          Similar with Macbooks. People would buy a $300 windows laptop, find it shit. Spend $3k on a MacBook and find it heaps better lol.

          Either way Apple is an easy bet, just pricey. And to be fair people I know do seem to own the phones for a while and because they're so popular it's easy to get a 3rd party to replace the battery when it starts to fail (as well as other things).

      It's been that way with comparable specs in general for the last 10 years.. I marvel at the clowns buying a $1k+ phone every 1-2 years when a $500 samsung is basically the same thing.

        But it’s not the same thing. iOS is a big part of what makes people buy an iPhone. I love and use both Android based phones and iPhones. But if I could pick one it would always be an iPhone. Overall it may be limited in some functionality… but it’s hard to argue against the fact iOS just does it better. They are 100% overpriced, no doubt. But so is a Lamborghini or an apartment in New York City. You are paying for more than material worth.

          It's also fairly easy to justify the price if you plan to use it for like 5+ years, and use it for literally hours every single day. Personally, I'm rocking a Samsung S9+ and my daily average screen time is about 4 hours. When it eventually dies I'll have no issue spending a bit more money for something more premium with more future updates.

          • lancesta on 19/11/2023 - 13:10

            @Wooluff: I get that. To be honest I've found the cheaper phones better for me. Mainly as the battery life tends to increase as the screen quality and other specs are worse. So I've actually loved the long battery life of a $500 phone. That said the last flagship I had was the S7 edge. So things may have improved a lot.

      I believe that is how many full cycles you can get before the battery capacity drops below 80% of the designed capacity.
      Quoting HMD Global for a different Nokia model

      your Nokia G42 5G battery will keep 80% of its original capacity after 800 full charging cycles (source)

      Apple only guarantees 500, so at face value Nokia is better (source)

      Also a full cycle is 100% drain, for example if you charge every day at 50% then a full cycle will take ~ 2 days.

    • philart on 10/11/2023 - 17:09
      +4

      800 charge cycles from zero to 100%, which is never good for a lithium battery. If on the other hand you charge 20-90% you'd get 1200 or so recharges perhaps more, because you haven't stressed the battery.

          Pixel beats any phone for that price. Nokia cameras, even the flagships, are average at best, and often worse than the competition. Don't be fooled by the 50MP sensor, these are actually budget sensors and much smaller than 50MP flagship sensors from Samsung or Google.

    • lancesta on 19/11/2023 - 13:15

      It's a $250 phone, so I'd probably say it's quite a bit worse. I've had phones with good looking specs perform badly (and the photo size is still excessively large). IPhones tend to take really good photos from what I've seen. I personally think this phone would be sufficient but if you're comparing the quality to your mates iPhone it'd probably fall short.

If you experienced phones in real life and not numbers, you wouldn't lack this common sense. 120Hz is not something that requires the strongest hardware available like running 4K 500 FPS on a PC graphics card.

                  BTW, what benchmarks are you referring to? I guess you just mean CPU performance on 1 or 2 websites.

                  But there are BENCHMARKS and you have to add them all together to get a comparable scores,

                  To a battery manufacturer, benchmark can be Battery Life or Capacity or Recharge Cycle (e.g. can re-charge 800 times)
                  To a Screen manufacturer, benchmark will be Brightness, Refresh, Size, Screen Technology, etc. (e.g. the biggest phone screen)
                  To a phone manufacturer, benchmark can be satisfaction ratings, reliabilities, profit margins, etc
                  To a user (as you can see in all the responses that you get), benchmark can be COST to Screen Size, Cost to Battery Life, Cost for Repair, etc.

                  For example, if I am 80 years old and I have terrible eyes, I won't care about your 4.7 inch "super fast" 2nd hand iPhone, I will need a 6.7 inch screen so I can see.

                    @bobokingdom: you should scroll up and see comparison of many different benchmarks

                    I believe I’ve addressed your other points check my comment history

                    I’m not 80 yet so I’ll be ok
                    I’m not saying everybody should buy an iPhone I am providing a performance comparison, you have to think for yourself

                    a $200 used iPhone is roughly double the performance of this phone, it’s a simple trade off

                      @abctoz: After all the posts, I felt sad for you. We tried to help you but we failed. :(

                        @bobokingdom: I’m sorry I didn’t obey your instructions sir

                        I have brought shame upon my family and will now commit honorable senppuku

                      @abctoz: 4.7" low res screen is a horrible trade off.
                      Maybe you have no issues with your eyesight now, but continue using that phone and you will.

                      • abctoz on 17/11/2023 - 18:17

                        @Tiggrrrrr: depends on usage, it’s not nearly as bad as I thought, I had a 4.5” before, I do get some eye strain if I stare at it too much

                        but the speed gains are totally worth it like i would put it on top of my list now, plus it’s not all bad small phone easy to hold

    Still can't decide G54 or G60?

  • USER DC on 10/11/2023 - 23:47

    anyone know if this dual sim actually works fine with

    data on one sim, (while using call on other other sim ??)

    A lot of simple dual sims phone dont work like that, (they stop the sim 2 service- aka no OTP or data on sim 2, when on call with sim 1) it's super super annonying, and defeats the dual sim point.

    • bar gain man on 11/11/2023 - 10:24

      You can use sim1 for call+text, sim2 for data

      • USER DC on 11/11/2023 - 10:25

        at the same time ?? - as that is when the problem usually strikes, (and reason why i switched back to non dual sim) But again just saw amazon OOS ( before I got my pay this week)

  • Exprise on 11/11/2023 - 02:48

    SD card slot?

  • woodwa on 11/11/2023 - 06:41

    Trying to split hairs over this and the Poco x5… They are almost identical but the Poco is $320 off AliExpress(very limited warranty)..

    This is a great deal!

    • brenster56 on 11/11/2023 - 07:51

      Get the Poco x5! Poco smartphones are great!

      • garage sale on 13/11/2023 - 08:49

        across counter at JB hifi with AU charger and warranty vs get from Aliexpress, wanted to send back a charger from Ali that died, seems Ali have 15 day dispute window so I'm stuck with dead charger that is 4 weeks old.

    • Candour on 11/11/2023 - 09:19

      are you saying poco [this?] is better? does it have a local warranty? and local bands. newbie in tech. learning from the wisdom of others on this thread. pros and cons would be better

      • garage sale on 13/11/2023 - 08:52

        years ago phones cost a lot in Australia and Xiaomi and some motos were the goto and had a big enough price difference that you'd import, we seems to have lots of local deals now and more brands, for the few bucks of savings and warranty issues, buy local …..

    • Merlict on 12/11/2023 - 12:33

      Can't see any reason to get the Poco at that price (apart from the fugly plastic on this one)

  • Samson2020 on 11/11/2023 - 15:42

    I purchased the Nokia Pink g42 for $400 the other week its a Christmas pressie for my daughter, wondering if i should return it and buy this for $248?? Am i missing something?

    • bobokingdom on 11/11/2023 - 17:31

      Yes, if she doesn't mind Black or White colour. G60 has better screen and faster processor, overall, a higher tier phone.

    • Merlict on 12/11/2023 - 17:07

      Return it imo, this has a much better screen and $150 is a big difference.

        Returned today ;-)

  • OhToTheZee on 12/11/2023 - 08:19

    Lots of hardware discussion but how much bloatware on this? How close to vanilla android is the Nokia experience?
