  • Telstra Signature 2 Review

     
    Welcome to the 2018 Telstra Signature 2 smartphone review. The Signature 2 was release in late 2017 and we didn't get around to writing this up till now due the literally massive number of new smartphones and regular phones to be released in 2018. We usually review the worst, niche, best value phones and the Signature 2 definitely fits into this broad category. The Telstra Signature 2 is a Android OS based phone and priced around the $400 AUD price range as an outright purchase. In terms of construction the Telstra Signature 2 is a well built. It's relatively light and solid. However the plastic back feels a little cheap in the hand but at least the glass screen lifts the quality feel. It's may be ironic that it is branded as a 'Signature' which indicates that is what the company aspires to, if you get the meaning ... In terms of hardware the Telstra Signature 2 has a good set specifications. In fact it's the same set as the LG K10 - Android OS based phone. There are a few interesting features not normally found in the price range like the large battery, fingerprint scanner. The screen looks nice and the buttons feel good to use. The Fingerprint scanner on the back frees up smartphone for a larger screen. All the basics are there but it is not a powerful phone, arguably close to entry level. In terms of use the The Telstra Signature 2 is OK. No lag with the navigation, Apps worked pretty fast, response times feeling good. Since it is an Android phone there are so many more ways to customise and use your phone than you can think off. It plays any video, image or music file format you want, it's fully integrated with the Gmail ecosystem and most of all you can manage your files on your phone not needing to temporary download from the 'cloud'. It's nothing fancy that just get the job done. To sum up, the Telstra Signature Premium 2 works really well. Like the original model there are no real problems in the Signature 2. Bear in mind that the specs are good for an entry level phone but the price is not. Specifications

  • LG K10 Review
    Welcome to the 2017 LG K10 review, a 'cheap' just above entry level mobile phone according to the pricing. We where quite surprised when we managed to get a test of the phone recently, since it's been for sale about 12 months now. The LG k10 Sells for less the $250 outright in Australia which makes it one of the cheapest phones with this specification from Samsung or any of the new Chinese brands at the moment. In terms of construction the LK K10 is very good. It feels great in the hand for a phone this inexpensive there is really nothing to complain about. Sure it doesn't feel premium but it doesn't feel like its price suggests. The design it's self is not completely modern with old school shell curves around the rear edges and a plastic power button on the rear but overall pretty decent. In terms of hardware the LG K10 has pretty decent components that work better than many of similar price. It features a 5.3 inch 720P HD display of very decent quality and brightness running an unusual Mediatek Octa-Core CPU and 2Gig or RAM. The main camera pictures looks decent along with the front camera but there aren't any other surprises. In terms of use the LG K10 is surprisingly really good! Despite the seemingly ordinary specs the interface is smooth and apps runs quickly and responsive. We think that its due to the lack of heavy customisation like the other brands. Even games seem to run 'well' the basic ones like Clash of clans. We honestly couldn't fault the K10 when running all the usual social apps and even navigation. If your needs do not go beyond the usual picture apps or social media the K10 will fit needs perfectly and cheaply without any risk. The LG K10 is great budget phone. Out of the box it works really well, no complaints. How it performs with more than usual apps, emails and images it not really known but in all honestly we don't think it will be a problem. That comment applies to all budget phones over the long term, but used as a secondary phone the LG K10 is high recommended with very little competition in the $250 price range and one that works so well.
