  • How's this compare to the G54?

    • Funny i got this for the folks even for them it was too slow and swapped to g54, much more useable

        What do you mean by swapped, were you able to exchange it at JB?

        • +1

          Good question, was wondering the same?

    • This has two physical SIM. G54 only physical one + esim and memory card slot. So, if you need more than one physical sim, this is more useful unless you go esim on G54.
      or another phone again.

        This has two physical SIM.

        And it will use a micro-SD in addition to the two nano-SIMs, assuming it's the same as my G14 that I bought from JB some 10 months ago. The drawer has cutouts for all three cards.

        • How have you found the phone?
          Does it have 4MB with 4MB "Boost"?

          • @carrawa: I'm very happy with it, but all my previous phones had at most 1GB memory, and I never had memory problems with those.

            I never allow apps on my phone which hog memory, which is moderately easy as I have zero interest in "social media". And I dislike apps with unnecessary "run at startup" permission, so my memory usage is minimal.

            I particularly like the "raise to wake" feature, which automatically turns on the screen (but doesn't unlock it) whenever I lift the phone. I've had several phones become unusable because their power button broke after a couple of years, so this one should last a lot longer as I rarely need to use the power button. I don't use the volume buttons either, I found a "sound tile" app that brings up the volume controls.

            I'm particularly impressed by the resolution of the display. I can clearly read text when it's only 1mm tall on the display (required by some websites that aren't well-designed).

            If it had wireless charging, it'd be the perfect phone for me. ESIM would have been nice on my recent overseas holiday, but you won't find ESIM in a phone this cheap.

            Does it have 4MB with 4MB "Boost"?

            Do you mean 4GB memory? I haven't seen any boost option, and haven't needed it for my usage.

    G14 classified

    • Do you understand the words that are coming out my mouth?

      Fifty million dollars? Man, who do you think you kidnapped? Chelsea Clinton?

    Just note that this won't be getting Android 15 or up.

    • How so? I have one, and it upgraded itself to Android 14 in November 2024, why won't it get Android 15?

      • +2

        It's not currently on the eligible to upgrade to Android 15 list
        But neither is the G54! G55 is.
        *List may be updated by manufactures

        • I don't think "eligible" is the right word there, that's a list of which phones have a promised upgrade path, including those for which the upgrade has been delivered.

          Thanks, I'll stay hopeful my G14 will receive another upgrade. But as the Android 14 update came about a year after Android 14 was officially released, it could take a while.

      and why is android 15 important?

      • +1

        Have a read. A big upgrade to compete with Apple OS features. Privacy, security, personalisation.

      • Is any single software update going to change your whole life, of course not.

        But a brand new phone with 0 chance of updates going forward is a serious negative.

      • Not exactly relevant for low end phones but some crucial Apps like teams can have organisational policies that restrict the App if its version is too old.

        Maybe Whatsapp in 2 yrs time may say it needs Android 15 to function.
