    The specifications seem to suggest it would work on most Aussie telcos. It even has Band 28, a feature most Ozb's are looking for.

    The question is — is it a good phone? The Mediatek MT6757 Helio P20 is a pretty outdated chipset by now (2016) and the screen resolution is also pretty low at 720x1440 pixels.

    Opinions on GSM arena not positive

    • Thanks for comments. Will look up these links. Good reviews on phone. Screen ok. Yes on 720. Has old OS. Happy to consider other cost effective options. After good battery and large screen. Not always using it much. General internet surfing, emails, some games maybe and video watching. Need for google maps.
