    Is this worth the money? or is the G5 (grey import) $560 better?

    • alz on 01/08/2016 - 12:07

      You have to be careful as I heard that the G5 has the same boot loop issue as the G4.

        thank you for the heads up! Just googled G5 bootloop and it already gave me hundreds of reports. Geez, I will stay away from LG for now.

          But that would also mean staying away from the 5X as well. LG have made some good ones, and some bad ones. The Nexus devices so far have been fine so far. My Nexus 4 was the last LG phone I used, and it's happily chugging along for someone else now.

        • RI4V4N on 01/08/2016 - 17:06

          @flaminglemon: I've had a state of phones and I'm having no issues with my 5x. I had a nexus 4 for a long time as well.

          I think I got mine for like 400 from some eBay store, it's the model that supports band 28 though.

        • rodinthink on 01/08/2016 - 22:12

          I heard Nexus 4 Also had a same possibility for bootloop as well.

          As you typed this, My G4 from QD ebay deal suddenly got boot looped yesterday :'(

          @rodinthink: Actually, I think you're right. I remember hearing about that, but I missed those boot loops because I got mine after the updates were released.

          It's not fair that early adopters pay more and get the most problems, but that's how it is with technology. Every company fixes problems reactively. So if you're getting something that's less than a year old, it's possible you'll run into problems. Like @alz said, people just have to be careful.

        • rodinthink on 02/08/2016 - 16:45

          Just sell it in gumtree / ebay before you regret it (if you don't want to risk it, but I think there is a high inevitable risk since LG admit it themselves that they're (profanity))

          Hi Buddy,
          They contacted me 3 weeks after I sent the message.
          Open the Dispute with ebay to QD so that they will respond quickly. I forgot that I got this option. My phone have some dent mark on the corner , not too sure if the warranty void because of that but I reckon they still have to fixed it even though the warranty already expired as the bootlooped problem isn't caused by the drop nor contact with water.

          I bought the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro Prime as it is the BEST VALUE phone available and planning to sell G4 as soon as it have been fixed before the next release of LG phone like LG G6 or other flagship released (to avoid depreciation value)

        • Spending2Much on 25/08/2016 - 00:36

          @rodinthink:
          I needed a good phone that worked. I was borrowing a 5yr old 500mb phone just to call.
          Buying a $100 supermarket phone to get me by, would be a waste, if it's 3 months till I get the LGG4 back and have yo but anything again after that.
          The Moto G4 was a reluctant buy. I think after this LG G4 expense, I'm prob even sold more on cheep china droids. The Redmi I've been looking at yesterday too. 3gb/32gb is released soon. There done others interesting but unfortunate couldn't wait for more shipping.

          Going to to the disputed now.. It's in basically as new condition, very well cared for.
          I think I will miss the LG G4. It ticked all the boxes and more……..

      I have used Android Enjoyed - NEVER Again - months waiting for a repair, only to be told the phone is fine, despite it having issues. Cost me a fortune in postage as you have to send back to China - Cost me about $300 in the end on top of the $500 phone cost, only to throw it in the bin.

      Do not buy from them - worst experience EVER

They have sme really, really bad reviews. People complaining of their phones being opened before they arrive. Dust under camera lenses (suggesting refurbs). Automated responses. etc.

    How about the Letv x600 for $180 delivered. It is a fantastic phone (I am currently using it). Worth checking out. You would have to get it from overseas (there are a few well known stores that I have used in the past).

    • jollster101 on 01/08/2016 - 13:03

      I had a Nexus 5 previously and changed it for an LG G4. The phone has been great but the locked bootloader on the TWN variant which I have irks me no end. I have had to stick on 5.1 because the root on Marshmallow is flaky with no unlocked bootloader.

      Personally it is back to Nexus to ensure the latest releases when they come out and Google encouraging people to enhance their experience and so don't restrict the phones so heavily.

          @tradiesunited: I don't think calls will be affected. Mobile internet I think will depend on your carrier. I believe Telstra and Optus use band 28 for their 4G network. you should read the specs from the Kogan advert to check what bands it supports, then Google what bands your mobile network provider uses. Don't quote me on this though..

    Just wanted to say, the SnapDragon 808 that I am using in my LG G4 honestly performs worst than Snapdragon 800. My Xperia Z1 runs Pokemon Go alot better than the G4, with the device heating up after a while (probably can't find location properly) and then experiencing quite some lag throwing a pokeball (this does not happen on the Z1).

    • aveeno bb on 01/08/2016 - 13:53
      +1

      Yes unfortunately, 808 is only a mid-ranger, strange that LG decided to have 808 on their flagship G4.

      I was disappointed with Nexus 5x poor performance with only 2gb Ram, and switched to Nexus 6P instead.

      I am again switched to Galaxy S7, and even though S7 is such a performer, I now miss 6P's large screen, long battery life and solid metal body, which made it feel really premium.

    • Ronnnie on 01/08/2016 - 14:34

      Screen resolution is a big difference between those phones. Qhd has almost double the number pixels of a fhd screen. I am using a Xiaomi phone with a lousy snapdragon 430 and it gets similar frame rates in games as a G4 or older s800 powered devices with fhd screens.

      It's actually pretty great in low light, which makes it great for snapchat. It lags at times, and crashes (as usual in android), but the low light capability especially with front facing camera is really good on snapchat (even better if you use the pseudo flash).

    For those considering this phone you can also consider the Moto G4 Plus for $356 for local stock (Office works price matching mobileciti).

    Great camera, with bigger screen bigger battery and expandable storage. Similar performance. Only negatives are lack of compass and NFC. But the advantages more than made up for it.

    Hope that helps someone out there as I spent many hours comparing the two phones.

    • aveeno bb on 01/08/2016 - 16:54

      Moto G4 Plus sounds interesting, also newer than 5X.

      For similar price, I would be more tempted to go for 5X, which has that Nexus premium with it.

      Also 16gb version is only 2gb ram, whereas 32gb version comes with 3gb ram.

      • dajackal on 01/08/2016 - 16:59

        No issues here with 2gb RAM. And it's $91 cheaper :)

    • Hansi on 06/08/2016 - 21:33

      Thank you Dajackal, I just made use of this offer after my LG G4 died! Price match came down to $358, which is great for local stock. Phone has dual sim and ( what I wanted ) a MicroSD slot.

      I have never used the compass or NFC, so I guess I won't miss it ( at least not in the next two years ).

      At first they didn't want to price match, saying it was a grey import. When I showed them that it is a sore in Parramatta, they agreed to match.

      • dajackal on 07/08/2016 - 09:09

        Glad you liked it mate! I came from the LG G3 that died from bootloop.

        Out of curiosity how does the camera on the Moto compare to the LG G4?

          I think my LG G4 camera was the best one so far with different options to choose from and professional settings. The Moto G4 camera is still better than other phone cameras from 2-3 years ago I find and is doing a great job. As an amateur with mainly auto-shots I can't complain ( even has laser autofocus ).

        My LG G4 died Monday night, replaced it tonight with Moto G4 plus $345 from HN
