Hey all :)
I need to get a smartphone with a great camera for under $400, I would have liked to get the Samsung GS5 When it was $398 but can't now cause it's too much and I need it in 5 days so has to come from an Aussie retailer. What would you guys suggest that has as good or better camera and specs? Thanks all :):)
Thanks :) Have you tried the camera?
Unfortunately I haven't had a play with one personally. The reviews that I've read (CNET and others), are quite favourable. Is a 16mp I believe.
Otherwise, the Oppo range that JB HiFi sell are quite good, although their update support isn't as good.
Important to note that the support for the G4 is unlikely to be as good as for the Google owned or developed Motorola G's.
The G3 was in development before the sale to Lenovo, so the G4 is the first true Lenovo Motorola.
@scubacoles: That is true, however it should be on par with other companies regarding updates for other models suggested (Sony, Samsung (S5) etc). Only the Nexus phones truly get regular updates.
If you had more time i would say the Z3+ they are a bit over budget if you buy from here. Its a great phone i benchmarked mine got an Antutu score of 89540 not bad for a cheap phone.
Would've suggested Nexus 5X for the camera, but AU stock is $450 at Mobileciti and shipping from Sydney to Perth can be potentially > 1 week :\
Any idea how long the grey import would take from Kogan/Dickie?
Not sure, sorry. It's been a few years since I last ordered a phone off them. Almost certainly over a week.
Actually, I think qd_au does express shipping, which takes some ~3 days (to Sydney), so that might be an option. Depends how hard Trent's time limit is - the only way to be 100% sure is to walk into a store and buy one.
I bought a Nexus 5X from Kogan a couple of months ago and it took 11 days from when I ordered to when I received it (in regional Victoria).
If you posted this earlier today I would have told you about the Telstra Store renovation sale I saw while browsing around. They had signs in the shop saying Galaxy S6 models were half price. After purchasing the S6 64GB for $528, I walked out and noticed stuck on the Window it said "Galaxy S5 for $300" -all new unopened. Today was there last day before they close down for a few weeks renovations :(
Also they had heaps of genuine covers and cases for $2 each.
I purchased Lumia 640 XL from your deal and am extremely pleased with it. Excellent camera and snappy performance.
Motorola G4 Plus is pretty good. Retails at $398 at main retailers
