Pretty good value for money phones compared with the likes of a Samsung A54. While these phones aren't flagship quality they are about a third the price.

Personally I think I'll wait to see what the Poco F6 pro looks like later this year but it won't be for sale in NZ domestically.

  Might be worth looking on Ali as well

    Good idea. NFC is only available on some models. The PB Tech ones don't appear to have it which was a deal breaker. A bunch of the AliExpress ones claim to have it

      Be sure to check it on Ali. Have seen some PB pages that use a generic image for the phone with NFC emblazoned but the tech specs say no. Other retailers might also use generic marketing copy.

      I thought these phones looked pretty decent especially at their preorder pricing, I'm sure that will end up being the sale price, but no nfc in 2024 seems kinda bizzare. I don't know why they have versions of this phone that excluded it.

  I got the POCO X6 Pro (12GB + 512GB) for $623 on Aliexpress. I'd say that's a better buy with Dimensity 8300-Ultra, LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0.
  It's super snappy and quite satisfied with the performance.

    And it's more expensive so you're comparing apples with bananas.

  I am curious… What do people plan to do with these phones that don't support VoLTE in New Zealand when 3G is shutdown by all three carriers?

    Complain and try to get a trade in deal?

    Pretty sure note 13 supports volte.

    I use an imported nothing phone 1 and just checked the device reported as volte enabled.

      Which carrier are you with? My Mi Mix 3 and Pixel 6a (both imported) get VoLTE with 2degrees but not VoWiFi, but that's something they can change at the carrier end, so I wouldn't count on that to work forever.

    Don't these phones support volte? That would seem like a major oversight by Pbtech.

      I asked someone at PB Tech explicitly about this. They acknowledged that it's a problem that they will have to deal with down the line. Extremely shortsighted in my opinion.

      Volte is also 4G right? This model will support 4G for sure. Even my old crappy and slow as Nokia c01 supports 4G

        I'm not 100% sure but I think just because a phone is 4G capable doesn't mean that it will allow VOLTE on any given network

  This worth getting from PB or worth getting from Aliexpress I got no time restraints.
