    The Motorola G54 5G eats this alive at the same price point in terms of specs. The G54 is certainly one of the best sub 300 AUD phones if not the best overall currently. It is a shame they chose such a poor cpu for this phone. In a few years it will be grossly outdated while my G54 will still be fairly modern due to the modern and superior cpu.

      Looks as though HMD has realised this model needs a price cut. Here in UK one large store, Argos, has just lowered prices for these HMD models.

      Have you got Android 14 yet on your G54? My G54 in EU 🇫🇮 is still on Android 13 (T3TDS33.16-78-2-2) and security update is still on a lousy January 1, 2024, which is really frustrating. And today is already July 25 and Google will release Android 15 within a month or two.

      @@petrisalonen4893 Yes I have Android 14 on my Motorola G54 5G and the latest security update was for May 2024. I am in Australia. I'm not sure why Android 14 has not come out for you yet. You definitely should have at least gotten Android 14 by now. Maybe it is the EU delaying it for some reason?

      100% - and of course it’s Android, you can (pretty much) make it look like anything you want to. But when it’s the default, I feel like it’s worth calling out - some will love it, some won’t.

    How about if I don't know to repair it cause I'm not professional. So do I have to go HMD service center instead? Or maybe I'm mistaken, maybe it doesn't exist. So I think you'll have to look to other repair service that is not HMD. And that's what keeps me thinkin' if I really want to buy it or not because of these reasons as I've stated above.

    • @AlexKidman
      @AlexKidman  2 місяці тому +2

      The idea here is that the parts can be ordered and the guides are available through ifixit’s web site. So if you didn’t (or couldn’t) do so yourself, any phone repair place could do so for you.

    In your opinion what is the best used Android smartphone around 200 Aussie dollars with an Antutu 10 Score around 735000?

    • @AlexKidman
      @AlexKidman  2 місяці тому +1

      Can't answer that one on two grounds; firstly I don't use Antutu per se so don't have scores to hand to give that level of advice, but more critically used phone prices vary SO much depending on other factors (condition, age, desirability, who you're getting it from etc). I would generally advise against buying a used Android phone at $200 -- I do get that people's budgets are constrained and I'm not trying to be elitist here, it's more that once used phones drop to that level from the mid or premium price tiers they're either rather old or rather worn out -- and hence rather risky to buy. The one advantage to getting something new, even at budget rates, is that you're getting a fresh battery and display if nothing else.

      @@gkholmes You can get the Nokia G54 5G for about 250 Aussie dollars brand new on special or 299 aud normal price. It is not going to break any records for mobile gaming performance but it won't break the bank either. It is a great all rounder phone and it works well as an actual phone for texting and making calls. I don't recommend getting a used phone either at 200 Aussie dollars your looking at getting a 64GB Samsung Galaxy S9 or an S10e 6GB ram option in fair to good condition. running Android 12 max. Which these days is pretty outdated but if you can live with that I guess it could work for you. The Samsung Galaxy S10e was great for gaming on mobile and probably still is to a certain extent.

      Not… yet. Which is a pity - as I note it’s not that other phones can’t be repaired, but it would be ideal for manufacturers to make it simpler and cheaper for consumers to fix problems and extend the lifespans of phones.

    Isn't this the same as HMD made Nokia phones? In theory, this should be cheaper than Nokia branded phones because of zero license fees.

    • @AlexKidman
      @AlexKidman  2 місяці тому

      In theory yes -- I suspect though that with the Nokia name deal now being ~8 years old, they're more just looking at setting up their "own" brand, and the difference in price the Nokia styling might have put into it may have made relatively little difference.

      That's fair, and there's rarely an instance where Android phone prices don't drop over time. However I can't count on that or quantify it precisely, which is why I always review with the RRP at launch in mind.
