    Damn it, not eligible from my PAYG $10 plan, so it will be $209 all up minimum to get this phone.

      Once the 28 days is finished you can move to the PAYG plan (365 days) for nothing but you won't have any credit.
      Still handy for receiving calls/sms (Gumtree number) if you don't want to add credit.

      Should be $186 if you go to wollies and get the starter kit for $10 minus $3 worth of points

        That won't work. You need to buy the sim with the phone.

        • chanhoz on 27/05/2024 - 16:33

          really? there's option for existing customer right?, so you buy starter kit -> become existing customer -> buy the phone?

          • larndis on 27/05/2024 - 16:41

            @chanhoz: No it doesn't work - existing customers have to renew their existing plan. So after buying the SIM from Woolies it would still cost $179 + $30 for the renewal

      Not much changes now with these updates. So even if it doesn’t get any more updates, Android 13 will be good for at least 2-3 years. You won’t miss anything as Apps will remain complied with Android 13.

    I have this phone and paid the same price outright, it's a really good phone for the price camera is obviously lacking but I haven't had any issues with it and it hasn't felt slow to me at all. Build quality is nice too if I dropped it I feel like it would survive even in the basic free case you get.

      Paying almost 10x for a flagship Samsung or Apple and they don't include one.

      The whole point of the EU forcing everyone to standardise their chargers was so you wouldn't NEED a new charger with every device. The charger for one would charge everything else. As well as a convenience feature, it was intended to reduce the number of chargers manufactured, them just thrown out in the ewaste. To save the planet from millions of chargers that were never needed to start with.

      Another unneeded generic charger being supplied with this product just frustrates the good intent of that standardisation exercise.

        Unfortunately all chargers are not the same, that charger you have for your 4 year old flagship phone is not going to charge the latest phone at it's max speed.

        It's all about making money and they know that by selling chargers separately they can make more $$$.

    I got my stepdad this phone about 3 months ago for $190.

    pros

    • fast for its price
    • 5G & 8G RAM
    • nice 120hz display (even tho it's LCD)
    • battery life is awesome
    • comes with a charger in the box (rare these days)
    • camera is ok at best, much better at night with gcam

    cons
    - it's not OLED?
    - battery charge speeds are slow at 15W
    - it's just not bright enough outdoors
    - 1 OS update is embarassing
    - again, low light camera performance..but it costs 15% of a flagship

    • harvestloon on 27/05/2024 - 17:49

      Was it marketed as OLED?

      • netsurfer on 27/05/2024 - 20:49

        No, but it is inferior grade cost effective type of IPS screen. The contrast shift is higher than normal and its 120Hz refresh is one of the worst I've ever seen, but for the price I paid, it was still a good deal (I think).

    He's currently using a One Plus 5 which I believe will soon not work once 3G turns off (?)

    So I need to help him upgrade. Can I buy this including the $30 sim and simply swap his sim in once it arrives?

    What other phones might be good alternatives to replace his one? Happy to up the budget a bit.

    • shxhshzhz on 27/05/2024 - 18:16

      amaysim also has the Pixel 8 on sale for $749 which is a good flagship option for the price, seven years of updates, camera and performance. amaysim deal ends 30 June so you can wait and see if EOFY sales have any better deals on other phones

        Key-strength of G84 is the oled-screen…I wonder what's driving oled-preference ?

        Not sure if users are willing to pay a-lot for extra-RAM & extra-storage ?

        Past sale-prices of G84 is relatively-poor (vs G54)…but being an-optimist, I'm hopeful for a clearance-price of $200 ish.

      it’s slow

      Interesting comments…may be users are vast & all come from different reference-points. Nikoris is likely use-to a processor 2+ level above G54 & hence commented as such. For those who're use-to a processor 2- level lower than G54 are likely to say 'it's fast'.

    If anyone worrying for the cameras. Dont! (If you can install GCam).
    I have a really good setup which was literally minutes of work. It spits out solid photos with Gcam that are actually very comparable with my Pixel 8 Pro(unless it's extreme HDR or lowlight).
    Gcam would only help with pictures though.
    Rest of the phone is 10/10 for the price I got $150

    • infinite on 28/05/2024 - 12:26

      GCam is an ad-plagued garbage camera app.

      After it's latest update, it now makes you wait for a 10-second advert to play before it will allow you to take a photo. They also removed basic parts of the app and reintroduced them as $30+ in-app purchases.

      It's been a while since I've seen intrusive spam-level advertising like that added to a functioning app.

      • stephendt on 28/05/2024 - 20:45

    Assume we can still order this with existing plan, what's the cheapest existing plan (paying renewal fee during checkout) to order with this phone?

  • verden on 30/05/2024 - 18:58

    I can get it on a $15 18GB PLAN

  • Niggly on 31/05/2024 - 02:00

    I don't see a $15 18GB plan being currently offered so I guess you must have a existing plan with those terms?

    Wouldn't the cheapest way to get a G54 under the current Amaysim deal be:

    1. Purchase and activate an Amaysim $10 $10GB 7-day starter kit.

    2. Optionally, turn off auto renewal (not sure if this is possibe with Amaysim).

    3. Purchase the G54 using the existing plan option for $179 plus a $10 charge for the plan renewal. (Unused data is banked)

    4. Within 7 days of renewal use up all data on the plan (10Gb +10GB).

    5. Port out, change Amaysim plans or use the phone with another provider's SIM according to your needs

    • UrMumsOnlyFan on 31/05/2024 - 13:46
      1. Purchase and activate an Amaysim $10 $10GB 7-day starter kit.

      I can't recall where I saw it (which is annoying the hell out of me), but I believe that the offer for existing customers requires renewal of a monthly (28-day) plan. However, I could be totally mistaken.

      1. Optionally, turn off auto renewal (not sure if this is possibe with Amaysim).

      Yes you can disable auto-renew with Amaysim prepaid.
