Hey, have you listed a price, location and how much shipping would be to other parts of New Zealand?

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay and where did you get it from? I'm looking at the same phone, and noticed that all the 'affordable' places selling this in NZ are drop-shippers or similar. That said, the price versus the NZ-sourced phone is waaay cheaper (making it, in my view, the best-value of the flagship phones). There's also nothing to be gained (that I've seen) trying to source this from eBay, Amazon etc, and Mobicity is nearly as much as I've seen it at HN on special!

Also, how are you finding it?

Bought it from justwow via pricespy, paid $666 fyi and it took exactly 10 days from the date of ordering.

It's a great phone, I came over from HTC One M8 so, I miss the boomspeakers but the 5.5" display with near zero bezel is gorgeous to look at.

Battery life lasts me a near 1.5 days on casual/low work load and the international variant has wireless charging at the backplate which is also a plus.

Very slick, stylish phone in my opinion.

NB: Also LG announced that G3 will be getting android 5.0 Lollipop by the end of December so can't wait for that too.

No worries. I'm interested in what differences you found between them / why you swapped etc.

I'm considering swapping from an LG G2 to the M8, admittedly without trying the M8. But you are happy with the G3?

Cheers

I initially bought the M8 because of its build quality and yes I have to admit it feels ALOT sturdier than LG G3.

But I had this, lets say 'phobia' in scratching the back brushed aluminium finish and I ended up fitting it inside a case, the slimmest case I could find was the Ringke slim case. But even then, I felt like I was missing out on the premium finish of the phone. So I got rid of it and got the LG G3 which has a plastic aluminium finish backplate(also removeable) and yes, I am very happy with G3. I'm a light/casual user so I'm not sure about lags in games heavy usages but they are both very fast. Boomspeakers are something I really miss on the M8, but the 5.5" inch display is something I'll take over the boomspeakers.

Having that said, the ultrapixel camera on the M8 is very good in LOW light situation, you really won't notice how good/capable it is in low light situations unless you compare with other phones camera at the same low light side by side. It's a really good at capturing photos at 'real' colours, colours are not too saturated. But it does suffer from its 4MP. Photos look nice on the 5" M8 display but once you zoom into the image or export it out from the phone and view it from a monitor etc, the 4MP is very disappointing. Front-facing camera is 5MP and is a 'wide-angle' if i remember correctly, but I cant comment on it since I dont take selfies!.

long story short, imo go buy the m8 if you use your phone naked(without cases) because you'll be pleased and greeted every time you use it. The cool aluminium touch is very very nice. Also, possibly if you don't alot of photos :D.

Hope this helps.
