      Didn't have the time mate. Above is only stores I have called. You are more then welcome to call a store in WA as they may have stock. I have included the SKU numbers for each colour in the listing for ease when enquiring.

      • ChickenAdobo on 23/11/2017 - 16:16

        So I called my local one. There is stocks still available in my state and they are happy to do a store transfer.

        Sounds pretty good does not mean it is Atmos though

        • hogwarts on 24/11/2017 - 07:00

          It is definitely Dolby Atmos.

  • billy_bob on 23/11/2017 - 16:09

    Great phone except the camera is not quite up to flagship standard. It is not terrible, just not that great either, particularly for night shots or scenes with high contrast where it loses detail in the light or dark areas, depending on the scene. If you are not super fussy about photo quality, this phone pretty much keeps up with most current flagships for performance and features for less than half the price. Only the LG V20 comes close for bang for buck, but that won't have local warranty.

    • hogwarts on 23/11/2017 - 16:10

      I agree. At night it lets more light in

    • abb on 23/11/2017 - 16:32

      Thanks, I was wondering about the camera.

      You mention LG V20 - is its camera better?

    • EnALup on 23/11/2017 - 23:23

      LG V20 is available at few local stores with Aus warranty. Though a bit expensive. Looks much better compared to this though.

    • Garzo on 23/11/2017 - 16:17

      JB actually ask if you would like a digital copy of your receipt. You just have to provide your mobile number and they send a unique link to download a PDF version.

    Really nice phone! If you're after rooting/custom ROMs I'd say to go with Linage OS 14.1. Tad buggy, but overall good for a custom ROM.

    For 2 years' old phone with 820, that price is still expensive, maybe could get htc u ultra in similar price in next month, as I know, this model is also in cleanance. Also ZTE's system is terrible, even in China, the reputation is not good.

    • dosada on 23/11/2017 - 17:14

      What makes the HTC ultra better?

      • zhaoweizhi on 23/11/2017 - 17:56
        -3

        better screen, better quality, newer model with 821 cpu, planned upgrade to Android 8.0 (Oreo), ongoing system support.

        • dosada on 23/11/2017 - 18:02
          +1

          Seriously? You think LCD is better then AMOLED? HTC has no headphone jack, single speaker while Axon has dual speaker and headphone jack.

        • npnp on 23/11/2017 - 18:16
          +1

          @dosada:
          I've had both phones and AMOLED in Axon 7 is superior hands down. Also ZTE phone is quite nice to hold while HTC U Ultra is very bulky. Having said that I didn't notice anything extraordinary about ZTE sound capabilities. May be bit better than HTC but not much. Build quality I'd give similar marks for both. Software wise however HTC wins, better support and more reliable.

        • zhaoweizhi on 23/11/2017 - 18:17
          +1

          @dosada: as I know,samsung keep the best grade AMOLED for itself and apple, supply grade B screen to other manufacturers like xiaomi & huawei, many models e.g. xiaomi note 2 who used samsung amoled receives many complaints, their screen also come from samsung but worse than samsung s series or IPS.

        • npnp on 24/11/2017 - 16:00

          @zhaoweizhi: I agree with the fact there are B grade AMOLED screens (ZTE screen for an instance didn't look as vivid as the one on Galaxy Note 5 despite having same resolution and bit higher pixel density. However the worst AMOLED would still be miles better than best IPS. Deep blacks guys that's the crucial aspect. The worst AMOLED will still have deeper black levels than the best IPS around and will therefore have the better contrast. So no argument there, if someone still argues IPS looks better, good on them. I can't cheat my eye like that. Lol

      Got a link to any other Band 28 snapdragon 820 handset at $360 to back up this statement?
      Nah?
      Didn't think so.

      • zhaoweizhi on 23/11/2017 - 18:59

        If anybody can afford a small screen , optus apple se 32gb unlocked comes with A9 CPU is much more fast than ZTE Axon 7, currently $379 in Big W after using WWS gift card.Axon 7 is a bargain for hardware, but I doubts ZTE would offer ongoing software support, ZTE never offer frequently security updates like other major manufacturers. For android phone, systems is more important than hardware. Without ongoing manufacturers' optimisation, the phone would be slow and face bugs after few months.

          +1

          @zhaoweizhi: Nice sidestep.
          Custom ROMs give this device plenty of life and support into the future, well past the point that Apple will drop support for even the iPhone X if history is anything to go by.

        • maybe a bot on 24/11/2017 - 00:23

          A9 is faster CPU but 820 has better GPU and they're on par in Antutu.

        • ESEMCE on 24/11/2017 - 07:47

          @Droidyy:
          Great, but it's irrelevant the the statement zhaoweizhi made.
          He/She is just trying to change the subject.
          Even if it were relevant, show me an Android or any other non-iOS phone that runs on the A9 SoC, it doesn't even need to have a 5.5" screen. I and most Android users are not interested in locking ourselves into the iOS ecosystem.
          Raising the point about the A9 is as useful as me posting that I could buy 8 Redmi Note 4x phones for the same price in an iPhone deal post. It may be factual, but nobody cares.
