Wtb Budget Smart Phone

[PranK]

Hi All,

My wifes iPhone 4 is showing signs of terminal illness. Its been dropped, trodden on, spilt on, drooled on..... You get the idea. The fact it is still alive is amazing.

So, we're looking for a cheapie to replace it with. Don't want to go on a contract, amaysim is just too good.

So, the one I've been thinking about is the LG L7 II but I'll consider anything, android OR apple, doesn't matter. She browses, takes photos and calls/texts. Pretty simple stuff.

Got anything I might like?

Thanks,

Christian

What about Windows? Nokia?

Or a Huawei Y550.

I thought about the Y550 originally but read some average reviews about it. It'd be good to get a semi-decent camera which it doesnt seem to have.

Prefer not Windows. Our lives are Mac-surrounded and it was hard enough to get her to OK an Android (I have a Galaxy.)

Have you tried the oneplus one phone ?

Price is $350 USD send to a freight forwarder have it landed for $400-420 AUD

[PranK]

They're apparently awesome but hard to find and over $400.

get the iphone 4 repaired for a cheap option or second hand 5?

I was given a couple of invites that i randomly gave out if i get one again ill PM you a invite link lol

Oneplus One is good.

Has a screen issue where yellow tint shows as the brightness is turned all the way up.

Few ebay stores have them, or Longz could hook you up

Yeah the iPhone has been repaired so many times that I dont know if it'd survive another one.

Invite? For a phone?

Anything below $400 won't have a decent camera, unless you get a repaired/2nd hand phone (I bought a Xperia Z2 for ~$400 off here last year).

Grab another iPhone? 4S? Since you're already in the Apple ecosystem.

they dont ship direct to aus.

By the time you take exchange into account, plus shipping from the states, it ends up being approx 470+

Also, a lot of very unhappy people on the forums over their customer service (or lack of) with warranty concerns.

Don't get me wrong, great phone for the price, but local support would be better.

I've got the xperia z2, and loving it.

Being water resistant comes in handy too.

Hope this helps.
