The LG G4 is a heck of a handset which Chris is currently using as his daily driver and is unlikely to give it up any time soon. You can read his full review of the handset here, and if you’re sure the G4 is for you, get those fingers ready tomorrow morning, or talk to Optus online chat to get your order going.
I just want it to be more than I paid so I feel better about doing grey.
I think you’ll be ok 😉
We’re hoping to get a bit more clarity on pricing from LG today.
What’s the outright price?
Optus Online apparently don’t have access to that info….Grrr.
