Kogan and BenQ have joined forces to create the Kogan Agora 4G, the latest contender to try and take the budget smartphone crown, and it packs in plenty of surprises for its lowcost price tag. For starters, unlike Motorola's Moto G, it comes with a larger
We found there's not a whole lot to dislike about the Kogan Agora 4G, although we wish there was more storage packed in. 8GB of internal space is not a lot to play around with, especially if you're app heavy. Handily, you can peel back the rear cover and
The Moto G has a firm rival on its hands with the Kogan Agora 4G, which gives you plenty of bang for your buck, a solid build quality and a fairly stock installation of Android onboard, and it's bigger too. Kogan and BenQ have simply done a superb job wit...

The Kogan Agora 4G has solid quad-core performance, 4G connectivity, and a surprisingly stylish design, all at a bargain basement price
Sadly the camera is also bargain basement and the screen is a little dull, with poor visibility in sunlight
There are better 4G phones to be found, but none of them come close to the low price tag on the Kogan Agora 4G....

Cheap, Great specs, Decent design
Only 4GB on board storage, Average camera
This phone punches above its weight. For under 200 bucks, it's impossible to argue the value for money case. But there are conditions: there's no 4G, and the 3G will work nicely on Telstra's 3G bands, but not Optus' 900MHz spectrum. The camera also has a...
Abstract: Kogan isn't a name you'd normally associate with smartphones, and its aggressively priced Agora is the first to become available in the UK. Does it do enough to establish Kogan as a force to be reckoned with?Well, Kogan has managed to cram a 5 inch screen...
Low price tag, Decent battery life, Good call quality
Screen is pretty mediocre, Poor camera, Iffy Wi-Fi reception
Kogan Agora – Camera The Kogan Agora features both front and rear facing cameras, which means it can be used for video calling as well as taking snapshots with. The rear camera has a 5-megapixel sensor, but the results that it produces aren't great. In a...
Low screen resolution, Only one 3G SIM, Not enough RAM
Kogan has produced a handset that promises much but the delivery is flawed in some significant respects. A smaller screen might have been a better bet if Kogan was really stuck with the low resolution it offers here, the handset really needs 1GB of RAM, ...

Surprisingly decent 8megapixel camera. Good performance for a midrange device. Runs nearvanilla Android 4.4.
Bland, generic smartphone design. Below average display quality. About $40 too expensive in a very competitive price segment. A few strange software bugs.
While Kogan has been a player in the Australian smartphone market for a few years now, the Agora 4G is one of their best efforts yet to expand their horizons into the global market. In some respects the device is quite capable, but I'm definitely not conv...
