EDIT: You can get the phone cheaper on eBay with current promo codes, but most of these will be imports so as long as you don't mind that, it can be purchased cheaper. :)

Edit x 2: code seems generic as per above.
Haha I live to bargain… :D
Better Deal: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/LG-G6-H870DS-Dual-SIM-64GB-in-Bla…
Phone is $799 + 20% off with free shipping
Was just about to edit my post saying you can get cheaper, however this will be an import.
@Shads: There is one from shopping express on ebay with 20% off and its $999 without the discount. It has 1 year Australian warranty
@alz: Vaya seems to have a bad reputation on here judging by the last S8 deal. IMO should steer clear.
Better to pay extra for good warranty for when the phone boot loops (as predicted by many on this site).
@wxyz234: or just don't bother at all, why spend close to $1k on something you think will have a high chance of dying within 2 years (or even 1 year)?
Warranty is nice and all but you lose some of your data when your phone dies and during repair you'll have no phone either, it also takes time, money and effort to send the phone in and/or picking the phone up, etc etc…
Dormammu I've come to bargain

I just sit on OzBargain refreshing every 2 seconds instead
just had a quick look and can't see much improvement over the LG G4. Guess I'll hold on to mine till this comes down in price then
Personally what draws me to this over the GS8 or IP7 is the mil std 810G certification. http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/g6/quality Highly unlikely I'll need many of these but the humidity, sand and dust and salt fog resistance might come in handy.
OMG, nobody said anything about boot loop yet.
I wait with eager anticipation.

It's about $630 for grey imports. $899 is pretty expensive for LG even for local stock.
So here are my thoughts - about to pull the trigger on this deal actually.
Let's say about $570 on grey import off eBay with the latest deals.
$900 for Aussie stock also means I can claim it back on my tax return. As a fully rough calculation, let's say that is 30% of $900 = $270. So effectively getting this for $900 - $270 = $630. (Is this calculation correct?)
So based on that, it's about $50 more expensive but I can get it straight away and also get local Aussie warranty for JBHifi which is pretty important.
On the bootloop issues, I thought they fixed it on later G4s and also I don't see it happening on LG G5 that much (apart from maybe the odd bootloop that any phone will get). As a G4 user, this is really good upgrade and I can't wait to get rid of it.
Anybody have thoughts on this calculation?
How did you claim this on tax return? Unless you have a business going
as long as you use the phone mostly for business related purposes (or can appropriation a certain % to business use) and its directly related to you earning income, i don't see why you cannot tax deduct whether it is import or local stock.
only difference will be if you can claim the GST (obviously no for imports).
I do use it for work. Calculating a percentage would be hard though. If I go too high (say > 60%) would that be suspicious to the ATO?
Can't you claim this as a work related expenses. Assuming you use the mobile for work purposes?
Edit. Actually maybe I'm thinking about depreciation…
Yes but most likely not the full amount because you do use it for your personal purpose as well
Calc is not quite correct, assuming your 30% is the work related portion. The $270 is claimed as a deduction against your marginal rate. You're not exactly getting $270 back as a tax refund.
Assuming you use it for work, you can claim it. If you feel its useful life is less than 2 years, you will be able to write it off immediately. The problem with your conclusion is that you think you can't claim a phone if you bought it from overseas. Of course you can. Therefore it would be even cheaper (after tax) from overseas.
Awesome thanks for the clarification
Wouldn t buy this phone even would cost $499.Definately doesn t worth it.Lg itself already forget about it.
Can I get this price in store?
Yes if you have the email.
I dont

This phone or HTC 10 from JB?
HTC 10 all the life long.
The G6 is extremely sweet and a very current design. I'd go G6 for sure.
Never LG again
Does anyone know if the JB bonus warranty is beneficial?
