    That is a really good price.
    Got one of these phones from OW after going through the Nexus series (and being disappointed), and honestly can say, it's been one of the best phones I've ever had.

    Love the long battery life, use the mods regularly, especially the game pad, and like the little tweaks they have done to Android, like double shake to turn on the light, or long press on fingerprint sensor to wake/sleep the phone.

    Might get another as a spare..

  • Andard on 01/11/2018 - 05:58

    • pepsicles on 01/11/2018 - 08:44

      the z1 play had better battery life but the z2 is pretty decent too

      • tissue on 01/11/2018 - 09:14

        Yeah, wife has Z Play and probably has the best battery life out of any smart phone I've used. It's the large battery, AMOLED screen and using a mid range Snapdragon that seems to just work. It's also fairly small with a semi decent camera.

        However I don't think you would get any better than average battery life out of the Z2 play.

        We both had Moto X Play before too which used the same combo as the Z Play and it had really good battery life, it was just an extremely thick phone.

        • AlanHB on 02/11/2018 - 16:41

          I liked the phone but thought the camera was pretty awful.

    Hi - so what happens if there is no Band 28 (Australian use) please? What are the downsides and should I not get the phone because it does not have Band 28. Many thanks in advance.

    • bargaino on 01/11/2018 - 18:44

      Without B28, on Telstra your phone will drop to 3G more often. Most phones do that anyway for voice.

      Not a big deal for most people, as 3G is good enough.
      In contrast, the "NextG" 850MGz 3G band is absolutely essential if using Telstra.

    I ordered it last night using PayPal, now got email asking for ID, home address showing utility bill plus credit card photo.

    I told them to bugger off and cancel the order.

    • Maltrex on 02/11/2018 - 17:43

      I did the same and got the same email.

      • Seven8Nine on 02/11/2018 - 20:38

        Email them again to confirm about cancelling and refund if they are not happy with PayPal payment.

        Above will help in future dispute

        PS: I did and response I got is, will sent it quickly.
        Don't know if that mean shipping quickly or refund quickly.

        • Maltrex on 02/11/2018 - 20:55

          I've emailed and requested to cancel and issue refund, no response yet. My Bank and PayPal both say the email they sent requesting personal details, is NOT on. Both are disputing now. I wish I Googled the company first, not very favourable reviews!!

          • Seven8Nine on 02/11/2018 - 21:14

            @Maltrex: Same here

              @Seven8Nine: Got refund today via PayPal.

              Had to raise a dispute and seller was asking me to close the PayPal case first. They tried few times over 3 emails but I refused. In the end they issued a refund and case automatically closed.

              They may be legit business or may be not, but in the end it was not worth to give all personal details, to save couple of $$.

              Coolicool was not cool for me.

      Either way, same specs, no GST and no local warranty.

  • baldur on 02/11/2018 - 17:11

    also when does this deal expire? any idea?

    • bargaino on 02/11/2018 - 22:06

      It looks like a clearance price, so whenever stock runs out. Unless the supplier finds more.
      The Z3 play has been out for some months now. $799 in aus.

      Mine has been notified as sent, with a Singapore tracking code. So I assume they send bulk air-freight to Singapore, and "post" it from there.

  • raymosaurus on 03/11/2018 - 00:17

    I have the Z2 Play 64gB. The battery life is ok, not at all amazing. I had the Z Play and that phone had really amazing battery life - for the first four or five months of it's life I would often get two days out of a charge. The Z2 Play however is usually down to around 35% battery when I plug it in at bedtime.

    Incidentally, it was primarily battery issues with the Z Play that pushed me to buy the Z2 Play. Would suddenly go from around 30% to like 5% or less, then shut down in seconds if I couldn't plug it in quick enough. Battery stats issue which I couldn't be bothered trying to fix.

    Bought the Z2 Play for $550 three months ago on eBay, Australian seller that told me they had Australian stock, but it took 8 days for the auspost tracking to show any movement. I reckon it was imported from Asia. 😡

    One thing I dislike about the Z2 Play is that, unlike the Z Play, the phone often vibrates in my pocket, and I'm pretty sure it's the fingerprint sensor falsely detecting a touch. Quite annoying when you think you're getting a phone call. Anybody else have this issue?

    It's been updated to Oreo 8.0.0.

    $238 is a ripper price. Is the stock in Australia already?

    • Fobsessive on 04/11/2018 - 14:41

      The stock is overseas and the offer is a scam

        • bargainparker on 14/11/2018 - 14:47

          Why would you do that? It's not like there's your ID, home address, utility bill, credit card details on it. It's pretty much the same what they would see on their end.

          • utopia on 14/11/2018 - 15:17

            @bargainparker: Then why are they wasting my time?
            They should just send the item , they have had my funds since 1st Nov.

            It's not such a great deal that'll I'll be losing out if I don't get it.

              @utopia: So you never waste time.

              Maybe they should, but they didn't. It's not the first shop to stuff up and certainly not the last. That's why this is called not so perfect world.
              Did you want to buy something from eBay during sale, looked at an item, put in the basket, just to find they jacked up the price? Did you buy something that was pretty much clear from the beginning it wasn't a deal but price error and it wouldn't be honoured, yet you still bought it hoping you get lucky? Then when you didn't, you wasted time asking for refund.

              Wasting time is a daily occurrence.

    Box was opened, I guess to flash international firmware on Chinese phone?

    Not "Play protect certified", so no Google Pay. Google apps not licensed.
    Is this a big worry? Any way to get google pay working?
    I'd understood the same hardware was sold in Hong Kong, so was hoping for certified HK firmware.

        Yeah, got it on the same day you posted. My box was still factory sealed, as far as I could tell.
        I haven't seen any battery drain prob - although I tend to plug in every night, so maybe battery never got low enough to trigger the problem.
        I'm REALLY happy with this phone so far.
        Can I do anything to help further?

          At the top end of the box is a 3x5cm seal - clear tape with Moto logo. Was yours sealed so you had to cut it?

          I haven't seen any battery drain prob

          Try disable Google duo and uninstall / disable updates . Duo seems to be causing a few issues on android.

          • bargaino on 24/11/2018 - 14:03

            @shadowangel: Well, the problem seems to have magically gone away,and I have a screenshot!

            I powered it up to try shadowangel's advice - disabled a few google apps. (It was already factory-reset again).
            It still seemed to be draining power, but I left it for about 5 hours and found this:

            https://image.ibb.co/eo77eq/Screenshot-20291109-flatline-s.p…

            In the first 1.5 hours, the battery reading dropped as before. (I cannot say if this was real, but in earlier tests the phone was quite warm when idle. Not as hot as under heavy load and screen on, but warm.)
            After around 1.5 hrs (I'd not been touching the phone), the battery graph suddenly flatlines. Power drain has stopped.

            So, having seen this several hours later, I re-enable Duo and others, still good. Reboot out of safe mode, connect to wifi and let it update google services, still good. No more rapid drain.

            i.e. can no longer reproduce the fault. Am hoping it is permanent, not intermittent. Any suggestions please?

  • Fobsessive on 29/11/2018 - 19:45

    Picked up from AusPost as I was carded with a missed delivery. This package came from Singapore. USA adapter included by the seller (Moto's power brick is for EU).

    Box arrived with the seal cut and battery at 0%. A few fingerprints on the screen protector only.
    I have not yet factory resetted and am unsure if this is a factory Motorola ROM. Google Play is included.
    I charged to 100% and have not noticed any unusual battery drain while idling.

    First impressions: feels light for its size, AMOLED screen looks nice. Oh…there is a rattling noise when shaking, coming from the camera assembly area…

    I have ordered this case: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Mofi-For-Motorola-Moto-Z-Z2-Play…
    Tip: use the fingerprint scanner for home/back/recent apps with this guide https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/inde…
    Sidenote: Coolicool wanted me to send ID documents but I told them to just send the phone. They sent it even while my PayPal case was open.
