Hi guys, I'm looking to upgrade from my LG G6 as it's pretty sluggish with a few apps running like waze etc.
Preferably a 6 inch or bigger screen , 3.5 inch jack, water resistant and decent battery life.
The Oneplus 6 looks pretty decent, but wondering if there any better options I should consider?
Cheers guys…
Best Phone in The $500 - $700ish Range

A 2 year old used iPhone from Gumtree/eBay with it's battery refurbished can be had for about $600-$700.
a 2 year old iphone is 6s or 7. >$600 is way to much to pay for a used 6s or 7.
I've seen a few 8's in that range.
$600 is cheap for a used 2 year old iPhone 7 Plus. Less than half price. Bargain.
You could also purchase a brand new phone that was released 1-2 years ago for the same price as those used iPhones.
I upgraded from my LG G6 to a OP5T before the 6 launched and have been very happy with it
Was there a big upgrade in performance? What have been the main improvements would you say?
There was a fair performance difference imo Oxygen OS has ran really smooth too the camera quality on the G6 may have been a little better tho
One plus 6, pocofone, xiao mi mi8, are all good options. I got a iPhone 6 for 399 from officeworks which is okay if u keen on getting into the ecosystem
How much of an improvement are the pocophone and mi m8 over the LG L6? And how much better is the OP6 than these 2 would you say?
hard to tell, specs mean little nowadays as everything is all fast and snappy. probs just look at camera quality, UI and build quality to see if you see an improvement over your current phone.
Without a doubt, currently the One PLus 6T. Arrh, realised you need the headphone jack.
why r they phasing out headphone jacks?
coz confidence
Technically not in that range, but note 9.
Price beat wondamobile at Officeworks for $977.
Sell the JBL headphones and fortnite code for around $250.
A tad above your budget.That sounds pretty cool. Are the headphones and fortnite code easy to sell?
Yeah just throw it on eBay
It seems OW have sworn off price matching the note9 though? Good price though
No price matching becextech
After just going through this with a similar price range, i considered the following phones.
Samsung Galaxy s8 plus/Note 8 (crossed this off my list due to it being a bit older than i'd like)
Mi mix 2s (Smaller screen than i'd like and no headphone jack)
LG G7 ThinQ (almost got this but i still don't trust LG quite yet after all their past issues and it was $140 than i paid for the Oneplus 6)
Oneplus 6 (this fit me the best and the missing things like full water resistance and wireless charging were not deal breakers for me.)
I ended up getting the Oneplus 6 for $558 delivered for the 6gb ram version i used the ebay 10% off sitewide code. (hoping it gets delivered on Monday if tracking is anything to go by.)
