That's not too bad.

originally was 6,5K

also had some credits on Takealot, so only ended paying about R800 for it,
another R100 for a flip case, so I don't crack its screen, with my butter fingers

and brought a chinese rip off battery for it, hoping to solve the battery heat and longevity
that caused many problems, mainly due to it not exactly matching its maH,of my original.

ended up using my original battery for it,

and managed to get (after a lot of trial and error)
a working android 10 ROM,

how is it such an old phone is still supported?
when something newer isn't, and still stuck on 9?

what I wouldn't give for a oneplus in my budget.

I have a LG G3, works fine, always has, no problems ever. I have the dual sim version (LG-D858HK).

It is now my backup phone.

I have replaced the battery.

I have now started using this phone again, with another sim, I needed another number.

Works fine, very long battery life.

Does not overheat at all.

Let's see in Summer how these phones behave,

In Winter, can't see them overheating.

And let's see what else happens to them.
BSOD? Screen problems?

Not being funny but why the duck would you buy a 6 year old phone as your “new” 2020 phone??

answer, because ignorance (as this guy terms it) is Bliss!!!!


owned many similar phones in similar price ranges, this guy talks about, Sony Z550, and then a s4 mini and a s6 and then the phone I most liked, the Wileyfox swift v1


and for now yes, I could only afford a LG-G3, (wanted a oneplus 3T) but one of these days I will get a proper flagship.
so yes, when you get used to more Humble phones, one adjusts one expectations.

Nothing wrong with Android 9 and judging by how many apps still support Android 5 Lollipop it's probably going to be supported for 6 years still if not more.

much cooler and much more reliably,

amazing how much diffrence a custom and updated Rom does.
