HI all iam considering buying a Kogan mobile phone, as my Huawei Y600 is ready to die. Can any one give me info on Kogan Mobile Phones, I have been looking at Kogan Agora 8 4G LTE for $159.00. I'm just not sure if my SIM card (Telstra pre paid) will fit. Would appreciate comments and input. Thanks.
Presence Thanks for the heads up. Greatley appreciated.!!
don't waste your money.
for $119 you can get a Xiaomi Mi4 from Shopmonk(White, 2GB ,16 GB)
or for AU $136.00 a Xiaomi Redmi 4X (Gold, 16 GB, RAM 2 GB)
or for AU$156 a Xiaomi Redmi 4X (Gold, 32 GB, RAM 3 GB)
each of the Xiaomi's has better screen res, larger battery, superior CPU +GPU.
the only thing the Kogan has going for it (but not really an issue) is band 28
Hi altomic,
Ive kinda steered away from these phones only beacause, they are OS, so didnt know if they worked in Australia, so with these they are unlocked and u can put u own sim card in.? ARE they user friendly.. have never been great with mobiles, do you have 1? Thanks .
they will work in oz and they are unlocked. whack in a sim and you are ready to go. i don't have a xiaomi but have bought a number of china phones and have been relatively happy with them (I say relatively because a deal comes along after 12months or 2 years or so for a better phone and I jump to that). I currently have a lenovo K3 note, before that Blackview Alife P1, before that an elephone, before another lenovo, before that a S3 clone.
all were pretty decent for their time and price.
they have all been user friendly, they use an easy to navigate visual touchscreen interface.
buy this Verizon Motorola Moto E4 2GB/16GB - US$47 (~AU$59) Delivered @ Amazon US ($2 USD for Unlock Code) - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/330593
You want a micro SIM for the primary slot. Telstra will give you the right one for a small free or else you can get adaptors on ebay if you have a nano SIM. You can use scissors if you have a mini SIM (unlikely).
Personally though i think it'd be crap, i've had friends buy similar models and they're always buggy. Get a Moto C for the same price from Officeworks IMO. Or if you're quick the Moto G4 Play is on clearance for $100.
