What do you guys think about the LG L65 D280?

Im trying to find reviews on the LG L65 D280 but I find VERY little material.

Any experiences or opinions on this budget phone?

Thank you

Weak CPU (dual A7, same as the Moto E), low-res, but nice battery. I think LG has been pretty poor at updating its non-flagships.

Depends what you pay for it.

Yes, I believe it is a standard low end CPU but at the price range? Better than a Mediatek right?
The res is 2008 but im looking at this phone at a budget
And the battery is nice? Good to know....

Ive seen a bit of XDA support on this phone...

Better support than Mediatek, to be sure, but I think most of those are the quad of the same core (like you see in the Moto G), which is really the "nice low end" level. Still, it's about on par with the Moto E, as you get the FFC and bigger battery to trade vs the higher-res screen and the higher likelihood of updates.

What price are you looking at?

What price are you looking at?

This phone is at 120 euros. Nothing higher than that.

So guess there pretty much isn't much out there at that price range, right?

I figured

Most of us don't know all the bargains outside the US and maybe Canada. I'd definitely buy it over a no-name send-all-your-info-to-China device, but maybe there's a better secondhand/refurb option somehow. Dunno.

I thought this was available worldwide?

At 130 dollars unlocked, what would you recommend that is available in the US?

Here's another option. If you know someone in the US who is a T-Mobile postpaid customer, I would recommend the LG L90 for $24

Honestly only the quad core looks intresting....besides that....

I wouldn't talk someone out of the purchase and I don't think there are necessarily better new-phone options, but I'd suggest they look for a used Moto G at that price.

That's the option that's missing/unknown for other countries.
