    great price, darn just got an S7Edge off my friend for $650, tempting :)

    • cainn on 23/01/2017 - 18:45

      It just my opinion of course, but as a former G5 owner and current S7 owner, I think you've ended up with the right phone.

      • webtherapist on 23/01/2017 - 19:03

        oh ok lol

      • congo on 23/01/2017 - 21:55

        Whats wrong with the LG 5?

        • cainn on 24/01/2017 - 00:10
          +1

          Objectively, perhaps nothing. But here's how I personally felt about it:

          • the display temperature is far too cold for my tastes, and there is (or at least was) no way to adjust it (short of rooting/installing custom kernels etc)
          • I don't like the way the glass curves at the top of the display (it was off-putting somehow), and I'm not a fan of the overall aesthetics either
          • not only isn't it water resistant, its modular design puts it at the complete opposite end of that spectrum
          • the modular design itself somehow made the phone feel… disjointed. The fact that you could slide the bottom of it off and that half the guts would come out with it just didn't engender feelings of quality or physical integrity (and in my opinion the LG G5 "friends" range of modular addons just were impressive enough to balance out such a compromise)

          The G5 could have been awesome, particularly if the LG 360 VR Headset had also been more impressive, and particularly if it had been bundled with a couple of other "friends". But they stopped too far short of the mark.

          Again, though, this is just one persons subjective opinion.

          The other side of the equation is that I think the S7-series phones are such great products that it's difficult for any other flasghip device to definitively come out on top.

    G4 was my favourite phone, then it got bootloop. Don't want to risk it.

    • irev1 on 23/01/2017 - 19:03
      +15

      same. I loved my LG G2… hated my G3 and then fell back in love with the G4….. then….. bootloop happened….. LG's response: 1 tiny article on androidauthority.

      Bascially saying meh if it happens it happens, we'll just replace the motherboard.

      never mind you loose all your data. AND if the phone has been dropped or has a crack in screen or scuff mark they WOULDNT cover it for bootloop lmao.

      I really want to like LG again but im struggling whenever i see the letters "LG" to me it stands for Looping Garbage.

      sad really, the G5 does look nice though - I think the HTC10 or the S7 are better offerings.

  • paddy567 on 23/01/2017 - 19:41

    I have a g4, and even bootloop aside, I haven't been in love with the phone.

    1) Battery life is quite poor, especially compared to my beloved Xperia Ultra.

    2) It gets hot when using for internet, like quite warm.

    3) It's buggy; it crshes randomly - presumably memory leaks or something.

    4) The camera is good, but I have to put it on manual to get a decent shot, the metering is bloody awful and it's always over or under exposing when on automatic. My old samsung S3 was more pleasurable for me to take photos with, even if the end product was worse.

    5)The pattern unlock is super slow to work, takes about 5 seconds to unlock after swiping.

    6) The "swipe to outside the circle" to answer a call is the dumbest thing ever. Just give me a freaking button to push. If you don't swipe far enough it won't answer the call. Stupid.

    The IR is good, the android skin is not as good as sony's but it's decent. The screen is nice, the sound is good.

    But I won't be buying another one.

  • D3m3ntia on 23/01/2017 - 20:28

    Never going with LG again.
    Made a bad move by ignoring their customer who affected by bootloop (unless if its still under the warranty)

    Nearly 15,000 petition signature in change.org ,yet no replacement for those who void/run out of their warranty. Acknowledging the problem aint enough. Everyone who got their G4 G5 boot looped should be entitled for Free MainBoard replacement.
    Will boycott the brand as much as I can until they offered some reimbursement (unless if its an ultimate bargain).

      • jingfai999 on 24/01/2017 - 01:37

        Fair call.

    When I got my LG G4 I thought the boot loop problem was just another issue blown way out of proportion on the internet.

    I was wrong, 1 year on and my phone is being repaired under warranty as we speak.

    Personally I would avoid g3 g4 & g5.

          Imgur or via the Ozbargain photo host (My Account—> "files" tab above the 5 stars—> upload new file)

          No offence, but I find it hard to believe, it's got to be either a return/refurb/display phone or it's a G4.

          edit: just saw your link. Wow nice find, good deal. I'm tempted to buy it even though I already have one.

          edit 2: Just looked a bit closer. It's out of the box, so it's not brand new any more. I would expect display phones to be significantly cheaper than brand new.

      They'll charge you $250 to replace the motherboard on the G4. Better off just buying another phone that won't brick after a few months of normal use.

        Sorry to hear your issue with LG Australia and eglobal, Mobileciti don't seller grey importer any product you have purchase from us will cover by manufacturer's warranty unless been physical damaged.

        any issue please contact [email protected] or PM.

          As I said LG Australia refused to acknowledge ANY issue existed with the G4. Also said it would take 6 weeks to look at the "issue" with no indication of the time it would take to fix the phone.

          The fact that it is local stock becomes somewhat irrelevant if LG provides a pathetic warranty service.

          Just my experience anyway. Ultimately it is up to the individual to decided if they want to spend $588 on something that might turn into a brick in a few months time.

    Just had my second LG G4 bootloop on me, and the HK seller won't replace because it's out of warranty. So if you are going to take the risk with LG G5, definitely buy local.

  • OhMaJuck on 24/01/2017 - 09:58

  • irev1 on 24/01/2017 - 10:23

    I feel quite sad for LG because the G2 was a beast and then they went downhill from there. The Bootloop isn't really the major issue it's how LG handled the situation that is the bigger problem - it left everyone with a bad taste.

    I mean Galaxy had exploding phones and yet people will still buy the note8 because samsung handled the issue correctly.

    I had a HTC10 and it died on me so Im getting a S7 now but the G5 was never on my list and ONLY because of bootloop nothing else, I just don't want to deal with that again.

    I understand phones have faults but from what I've read online and witnessed firt hand the bootloop issue effects ALL LG G4 nobody is safe - LG should have recalled the whole lot.

  • Bluberry on 24/01/2017 - 11:58

    Wouldn't touch a LG again. My G4 got bricked by the bootloop issue (google it). LG Australia refused to even knowledge there was an issue. This was a pity becasue I actually thought the G4 was a reasonable phone while it worked but my experience with LG Australia left a very bad taste. Went with a S7 for a replacement. At least Samsung acknowledges their issues and fixes it.

    EDIT: LG G5 Also has bootloop issues! Would stay far away as possible unless you plan on not having a phone for several weeks while your phone motherboard gets replaced.

  • Ronnnie on 24/01/2017 - 12:42

    Yeah my G4 never bootlooped. After about 16 months I'm confident it won't. But I'm sure someone will tell me it will here. Even the Nexus 5X bootloops. Damn lg

    My wife and I have Lg G3 phones and they get wirelessly charged on a each night at our bedside tables. Never need to plug in a charger. The phones are awesome, we have never had any problems with these after 2 years of service. Previously had the Lg G2 and that was also fantastic until the screen smashed.

  • neonlight on 24/01/2017 - 12:53

    Any bootloops on G5? If so I will stay away. G4 burnt me BADLY.

    Never trust LG again.

    I had my replacement in the 8th month but I'm sure it will happen again in another 8 months.

    When that happens I will throw it in the bin

  • Associatedlyl @ Mobileciti on 24/01/2017 - 13:24

    I don’t think it is fair to neg a LG G5 deal on the basis that your LG G4 bootlooped. There is no brand which is 100% free from issues. It's unfortunate that the LG G4 did have genuine issues, but the LG G3 bootloop issue wasn’t as prevalent, and many users here have said that their G3 still working fine. There’s even reports that the Nexus 5X bootloops if you search on google, though Nexus 5X deals are still well received here and is still working fine for nearly everyone.

    Searching on google for ‘LG G5 Bootloop’ results in a few results, but it seems that there isn’t any evidence to suggest G5 phones failing in mass proportions. There has been 12 LG G5 deals posted on ozbargain since April last year (6 making the front page), and I haven’t found any comments from users here experiencing bootloop with the G5 yet, only positive reviews from users praising the G5 so far. I think it’s fair to give the G5 a chance rather than shooting down every future phone in the LG G series.

    Mobileciti also offers local stock for the G5, so you’ll get 2 years warranty as opposed to 1 year, and be able to deal with LG directly for warranty rather than an overseas seller (where most bought their G4s from). With its flagship specs and camera, the LG G5 is one of the better value phones out there, and with 2 years local warranty, you’re guaranteed to get it fixed if anything goes wrong.

      Yes there's. S7 does not bootloop.

      Doesn't matter if G5 has two years warranty. It should be a fully working product not a product that requires warranty returns.

      Past LG service has been disappointing and the replacement I received for G4 still uses the same 0503 motherboard. They didn't even replace the unit proper the casing is now blocking the infrared sensor, can't use my favourite quick remote. It took 2 months to fix. I was without phone for that long. I went out bought S7 outright. Until now still no bootloops never look back

      It is a time bomb ticking away. It will be faulty again. By that time, it is out of warranty you have no choice but to throw it out or buy a new phone. There's no way I can trust this company.

      A company that doesn't admit geniune issues and forgo all its customers.

        Wait, was that in reply to this:

        There is no brand which is 100% free from issues.

        Coz it's not like the S7 was trouble free…!

          My S7 edge is trouble free. Zero issues. Very happy. And doesn't bootloop.

          Doesn't overheat neither but G4 does

      Op thanks for posting the deal but not sure if I agree. I am sure the the neg votes are for the LG (not Mobiciti).

      The G4 didn't have any issues either at first until all the bootloop issues started coming out. Also the fact that LG Australia failed to address or offer any solution despite widespread issues is really poor. I totally understand there is a risk of something failing but when the manufacturer takes zero responsibility then it is best to avoid them.

      I appreciate there is a warranty but in my case LG said it would takes 6 weeks to "look" at the issue with no time-frame regarding how long it would take to fix. Unless the warranty includes cover for a replacement phone the LG warranty service is pathetic.

      Perhaps as a seller you should feedback to LG that people are avoiding their phones because of woeful reliability and customer service..

        Exactly
        If they recognise there is an issue and offered solutions people would have stayed
        LG behaves as if the bootloop issue is a user issue.
        Bootloop is normally after 6 -8 eight months.
        No business will agree that they are selling a dud product
        If the retailers start standing against these dodgy companies they willlisten.
        But that won't happen as everine in are for quick bucks and end customer is screwed

      Hi Rep
      If yoy are so confident about G5 make an offer to replace with a brand new handset same day within 2 year period.
      You are almost ceratain that you don't have to give any replacement at all.

      My LG G5 has screenburn

    Got one for the wife 7 months ago, going strong. But the screen scratches easily (even inside the official folio case), so do recommend screen protector.

    Yes we should get away from LG
    I should have learned from their 3D blueray player.LG blames every one else for their problem..
    Bootloop is a nightmare
