          Why do you need a number or sim for that?

          And you are kind of making a backhanded insult to the phone and buyers who might be keen to have this.
          The specs look good … if only it exists in stock.

      Is g82 better than this?

      • lgacb08 on 16/11/2022 - 10:55

        Probably, this one has sort of similar specs but older, g82 has several upgrades in terms of chipset and camera.

    • wpw on 16/11/2022 - 10:40

      G82 was cheaper during the mylenovo rewards raid. Got one under 160

    • sam buster on 16/11/2022 - 11:04

      Very similar specs, so this price much better value, except for the expired support.
      Edit: I think this phone has the better CPU and GPU, and arguable better camera.
      This phone supports 4k video recording and has HDR support.

      G82 has AMOLED display and 120H reresh rate.

    Good guys are a bunch of liars. When I inquired about a clearance phone (Samsung A32) they claimed they had reserved one for me. The sales rep on the phone rang the store and confirmed they had one left and it wasnt ex demo. I paid the quoted order they created and the order was cancelled a week later. When I followed up they said there was no stock and quickly ended the chat/phone call. That is grade A BS. What annoys me most is I bought a gift card to pay for the phone, so I need to use it on something. Then I'll never buy from them again.

      • taki on 16/11/2022 - 12:14

        5G only makes it faster, not to spend more money. You already overpaid for iPhone & try to justify your decision. This is much better deal & you can still use any provider (with the freedom of not locked system as Android or HarmonyOS ;)

    From what I can find, it won't be getting Android 12 and Motorola's 2 years of security updates is already up.
    Also, I can only see Lineage 18 and Havoc 4 custom roms which are both Android 11.

    Moto are pretty poor with their OS updates (and I've owned a few in the past, and looking to buy another in the future) so if this phone was originally released at the end of 2020, is it likely to receive any more updates?

    Secondly, does it matter? I actually don't know the answer to the second question. But it's a heads up for those who care about these things.

    I have this phone currently, fixed a broken screen a few months back and the quality was horrible… Paid 180 to fix the screen for it to break with a 30cm drop onto carpet…

        Phone brand new is amazing, unfortunately the repair I got was awful, easier for me to get a brand new one than to fix it.. smh

        • sam buster on 16/11/2022 - 12:16

          I'm in the same boat - had the barely readable smashed screen for about two months now. So put off by the repair price I've been considering buying the screen itself and DIY.

          Too bad I missed this deal.

          What do you think went wrong with the repair?
          Was it just the new screen that was poor, or the whole phone afterwards? And in what way is it bad?

          Hope you don't mind my Qs, I'm wondering if worth repairing.

          • BenjiBenj on 16/11/2022 - 13:07

            @sam buster: I too looked at a DIY screen but honestly, the parts/expertise are just worth going to a good repair place for.

            I believe my repair was just a little bit off, from day 1 I had the glue falling out the edges of the screen in stringy pieces.

            The phone is currently cracked but works perfectly in every aspect, it's got a good battery life depending on the usage and "turbocharging" so 20V fast charge.

            I don't think it'll be updated any further but I'm happy of the quality of this phone and at the price it was it was a steal.

            Only big annoyance for me is the lack of visibility in the sun or high lighting even at the highest brightness levels.

            Happy to help, keep the questions coming. I paid $180 for a repair instead of getting a new phone but if you can guarantee the quality is good with your upgrade its probably worth it!

            • sam buster on 16/11/2022 - 13:28
              +1

              @BenjiBenj: Thanks, BenjiBenj.
              I agree it's a good phone, and also agree with the screen brightness comment - I have this G 5G Plus.
              Such a good phone that I wasn't tempted by the recent G82 or Edge 30 deals because I thought a repair would be better value.
              I guess the trick is knowing if you are getting a good repair. A brick & mortar shop quoted me $180, or $160 for cash - I didn't know places still did that!
              I'll see what comes up in the upcoming deals.

    Motorola phones have 2 years of security updates except the latest 30 edge range.
    Great price for a back up phone if you don't need the security update.

      Some not really that useful advantages:

      • Due to my slow NBN, downloading apps / updating apps on the phone is a lot faster with 5G (especially iOS devices, since they do download in parallel).
      • Fast youTube video download.
