Forget the so-called flagship phones: The new Australian battleground for your dollar is the mid-tier outright purchase. The latest contestant to rock up is the LG K10, a AU$299 phone first seen back at CES at the start of the year.

It's a pretty basic phone, as you might have guessed from the price. There are a few nice touches that LG has kept, mostly around talking selfies, such as using gesture controls to take a shot with the front camera and a 'virtual flash' for more flattering photos.

If the K10 sounds like your thing, you'll get it from JB Hi-Fi or Big W, and that's it.
