First post so please be gentle.

Looking to get cheap second phone for research purposes :wink :wink and stumbled upon this gorgeous 'Magenta' phone although limited in Sydney area.

Good review by Techsprut. Upper middle tier Android phone under $300. Paid with some gift card I have collected and got $100 gift card back :)

Edit:
(Personal opinion below)

Good things:
Absolute nice colour (Magenta) with nice touch of leather.
External memory (!)
Jack port (!)
12/256.
OLED up to 120hz.
Free case AND 33w adapter yay.
Okay front + rear camera.
why this thing so light?

        Is this too far worse than pixel 7 that is double in price?

        Also is it something similar to Oppo phones. I don't like my current Oppo (A96; bought for $400) as it is just too weak and gets hot a lot

          providing software support is very expensive, you need to retain engineers who worked on that phone and also keep a few more allocated for that phone's team.
          good cam modules are expensive.
          Motorola conviently skips on both of these high cost inputs to keep costs low.
          this explains the price difference a lot.

          • garage sale on 14/12/2023 - 02:36

            @backupper1: with chips updating annually, once they move to next cpu, supporting new major android releases is expensive exercise vs allocate engineers to new model.

    • dealsforlife on 13/12/2023 - 19:18

    Is this better than the Samsung S20 FE?

    • smartProverble on 13/12/2023 - 19:42

      I was wondering something similar - how much better is it than my current Galaxy S10, which came out in 2019?

      https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=12526&idPhone…

      https://nanoreview.net/en/soc-compare/qualcomm-snapdragon-85…

      Answer: The Samsung still beats it in the most important areas - processing power and camera - even though the Motorola has newer tech. My battery is still fine as well, lasts a day. Your S20 FE has higher specs than mine, so will obviously trump this Motorola. Flagship gonna flagship even after 4 years I guess.

      Fortunately, but unfortunately, I will hold on to my S10. I can still sell it 2nd hand for around $200, has held its value very well. If I were to buy this, I would basically be spending $100 along with my S10 for a new phone that is worse in performance, though will have newer updates and security updates for the next 2-3 years. To me that's not an upgrade.

      Personal experience with past Motorlas - very good battery life, but camera performance is simply rubbish at night.

      edit: security updates. Don't know how much it means to you, for me it doesn't mean much at all, so this could be a big factor for you.

      • jh084 on 13/12/2023 - 20:03

        I was also in a similar situation, on a S10E, have changed battery but it can't last the day so need to use battery saver - which makes it chug

        • smartProverble on 13/12/2023 - 20:26

          the S10E was not really a flagship from memory. Maybe this Motorola is a good option for you, i am sure the battery life will be much better, no guarantees

          • jh084 on 13/12/2023 - 21:04

            @smartProverble: they actually had same CPU/GPU but different cameras and screens. anyways got the Moto

        • syswong on 19/12/2023 - 08:57

          if compare to S10E it is essentially the same stuff, same performance same two camera system. Only difference is S10E 4-5 years and confirmed last OS update is the 2022 one. This one released three months ago with old parts put together and market as a new phone. The only advantage is it will get Android 14.

          Interesting enough I also know someone who is using an S10E, you would expect the GN9 sensor on G84 to be quite a bit better than the S10E. however, our short test show G64 is equal the S10E at best (again a 4-5 years old phone), and in some situation performs worse. This just shows how important software is in smartphone camera system. That is what you are paying more for Samsung Google and Apple.

    • Mixhael on 14/12/2023 - 16:19

      I'm in the exact same situation. I have a S20FE, and wondering if this is an upgrade or not. Ended up buying first and researching later

    The annoying thing about this phone (long time Samsung abuser) is that the back button is on the bottom left of the screen, which is a big adjustment for me.

    • NoHorny on 13/12/2023 - 22:42

      Good on you. You got lucky that they did the price match for you. I was denied saying skycomp is not listed in their approved sellers for price match (which seems crock of bull since skycomp is an aussie seller too).

      • Mr Bravo on 13/12/2023 - 23:06

        Well in my opinion if you're good with them and they have a feeling that a product might be sitting In shelf for long time, they will price match it. They definitely won't price match Samsung apple etc unless the competitor is big retailer

        • Kosmo-Kramer on 14/12/2023 - 08:45

          Just price matched online but they only did for same colour

        • NoHorny on 14/12/2023 - 09:15

          It's not about being good or bad to them, it's about JB not following their price match policy. They bend the rules whenever they like and always use lame excuses such as "management said no" etc. They've never done price match for me (and this is online chat).

  • syswong on 14/12/2023 - 10:52

    In every aspect this phone is equal an S10 at best, but without the telephoto. It does / will get Android 14 though. It does feature the GN9 sensor which "suppose better" than the GN5 sensor but there isn't much info about it. Moto are likely just implement the basic camera API, so I wouldn't count on the camera performance. With all that I start to question if this is really a good deal….

    Guess will find out tomorrow when I give the phone to my friend and test it out

  • Vita85 on 14/12/2023 - 12:07
