Looks like a historical low for AU stock. Though if you’re interested in this one you might be better waiting until the G7 announcement/release (?May) or better yet its successor (?Nov) as LG phones in particular depreciate really well!
This was my pick for 2017 phones. The closest thing to the S8+, without being a Samsung. Better design (IMO) than the Pixel 2XL (LG manufactured that too I realise). Some of the best specs in a 2017 phone (you might do better with a Huawei Mate 10 Pro, OnePlus 5T, or Razor phone, but each have their own issues).
Biggest concern is probably the display issues, though supposeably not really that much of a biggie (do you want to take a chance at flagship prices though). Also the reports are that 2018 processors are taking a big leap forward, with the SD845 debuting in the S9.
Personally I’m waiting until they return Touch ID to the front (under-the-display for bezelless designs) and they do a good OLED display in a non-Samsung phone. Wouldn’t mind something closer to a 6.5” display too.
