Tesla Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Tempted to recontract early but it costs too much right now, might give it another month or two. I'm going to get that 'new phone feeling' thing this time, looking worth it for $10/mo since I get bored so easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hedaik Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) Lollipop update is horrible. Phones locked up 3 times, stupid memory notification that I can't disable and an additional swipe needed to unlock my phone which I can't seem to disable Edited April 25, 2015 by hedaik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesla Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 So I reckon I'll get a new phone, repairing screen costs like 270 while early recontract is around 440 plus I can surely get like 150 for it on ebay even with a broken screen, so it works out the same financially. Problem is no expandable memory on the s6, i just bought a high end 64gb microsd card a couple months ago. Not only that, I need that 64gb space, it's great. HTC One M9 just seems too inferior. While the LG G4 could be the go, slightly inferior to the s6 but expandable memory makes up for that plus it should be cheaper. But probably another month until it's released, can waiting that long.

Deviant Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 ask yourself... "Why do i need the S6"? BTW, don't look at specs alone. Look at real world stats and figures. They all pretty much work the same with the same speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very happy so far. Battery life is good. All large display smartphones are thirsty but the S6 has impressed me so far. I also thought the 'Fast Charging' feature was gonna be a gimmick but it does actually seem a lot quicker than any other smartphone I've had. The non-expandable storage was something that I was worried about too but I had to settle in the end. All in all: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 I'd actually have a note 4 over any other phone on the market, I didn't mention it as it is prohibitively expensive to buy outright and is generally regarded as a phablet. I have it and it is horrible. Worst mistake I have ever made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agoalie Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 I have the m9. Like everything but camera needs an update to optimize it. It's build quality is what is expected from HTC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesla Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 if that was directed at me deviate, I have the s5 now. As I stated, only reason I'm upgrading is because if I dont upgrade I'd need to get the screen fixed anyway, and it works out financially about the same. No way would I upgrade from s5 to s6 otherwise, not much difference.Definitely keener on the LG G4 though, but for of a number of reasons I'm not sure I can wait a month. I'll wait till my bill cycle is over since then the early recontract is cheaper, and decide what I'm doing then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deviant Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 S5 is a good phone mate. In comparison to the s6, it's more so a 'bang for your buck' purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepdog Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Got my z3 replaced. Dropped it and cracked the screen, told them I had it in my pocket while carrying bricks and that is how I cracked it. Full replacement free of charge. Mind you optus sent it to Armadale WA first. Chalk that up as a win for ole sheepy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesla Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 So, did anyone end up going through with the purchase of the G4?Thoughts, feelings, ideas?Didn't end up doing it as i'd like to strike just after my monthly bill as thats when my handset repayment reduces, but I usually forget at the time. Got my bill today, so back to thinking about it for the next few days, tempting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bt50 Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Decided to take the plunge anyway.Battery has gone down 22% since 1pm, so considering my iphone 5 would have been dead by now im already having a win.Havent given it a proper once over yet but screen and camera look spot on so far.

Deviant Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) The G4 now is bang for buck. As further models come out, the price on these one's flagships reduce, as with every device. The allure of a 'brand new phone' is still relevant as not many people know anything apart from apple and samsung.You walk around with a LG G4 and people will ask you "Is that the new Samsung?" lol. fuck around and say 'Nah, it's the new apple". Furthermore, hold down on your screen and get a submenu. then create a buzzword like force touch. Tell them it's revolutionary. what a joke.

Dylan Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Just got the iphone 6s Plus and have been playing around with it. I switched from a note 4 as I got a bit sick of android. So far very impressed, still have to get used to going back to iOS but the 3d touch is pretty cool. Its hard to get used to it as you think to press down hard and hold it but its not quite that more like a hard tap. Best thing about the touch is that if you push on the keyboard hard it comes up as a pad so you can put the text cursor where ever you want, very useful, I have always been frustrated with trying to put it inbetween letters.The finger print sensor is amazingly quick now, like as soon as you put your finger on it it unlocks. It can actually be a little annoying since my first reaction to see a notification is to press the home button to see it, but it unlocks instead.Anyway its typical apple, fast and it always works without a hassel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imperial Pints Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Nexus 5X looks pretty good. Similar guts to the g4 but a lower res screen which should aid performance. Stock android will fly along + it'll launch with 6.0 (marshmallow) as its o.s. If history is any guide it should be quite affordable also.Max 32gb storage will probably be a deal breaker for a lot of people thoughhttps://www.google.com/intl/en_au/nexus/5x/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Ironically though the 6p is the Chinese phone and the 5X is made by LG so dunno what's going on there).
