    Thanks OP, worked for me.

  • +3

    Thanks guys for the deal guys.

    I couldn't get out to OW to price match the HN deal this morning… but this is cheaper and no haggling required. I can even pick it up on my bus ride home tomorrow!

    • I thought overworks always price beat?

      • +1

        No it depends on the mood of the staff member at the time.

        I tried to price match a Moto G a few years ago to a JB literally in the same shopping centre but they refused because JB didn't list some obscure part number that Officeworks use on their website (and not even the "official" Motorola number but some sort of SKU that NO ONE ELSE listed online). So even when it's exactly the same product at a store 5 min away they will still find reasons not to price match. (profanity) them.

      • Mis-typed what I was thinking… price match rolls off the tongue more naturally than price beat.

  • It should also combine with the 10% monthly thing as well :) Not personally tested though.

    Also what’s going on with this particular model? 3 deals on a single day!

  • +1

    ooh boy it is getting harder to resist, dont know if i can take it much longer ! lol

    • That's what she said

  • +6

    Bro is obsessed with this phone fouiyohhhh

  • why are all retailers ‘throwing it off’?

    • +2

      probably killing sales of other phones

      • probably killing sales of other phones

        And this won't?

    • Possibly for the liquid or debris in USB problem like other Moto phones?

      • this seems to be the case

      • I had an OPPO that kept saying "alien liquid or substance detected in USB port"

        GOD DAMN ALIENS !!

      I did this and paid for it with yesterday's Coles Mastercard deal. So total cost of the phone for me is $157.42

  • +9

    That's enough G54 for 24 hours.

    NO !! MORE G54!!! MOARRRRRR !!

  • Dang, literally bought this two days ago for $230 from Mobileciti eBay store! Now contemplating going through the hassle of returning so I can save $50 Worried that this deal won't last though so I may get screwed either way :(

    • most retailers are ending the sale tonight

      • +2

        How do you know the sale ends tonight as it doesn't mention it anywhere on the Big W site?

        • Harvey Norman and Mobileciti end tonight. Everyone follows the same sale schedule.

  • +8

    waiting for it to be $100…

  • +9

    This phone may actually be the best value in years factoring local availability + warranty.

    • +4

      Not really

      MTK chipsets and modems are C tier and way behind Snapdragon, Exynos and even Kirin

      The Dimensity 7020 is not even a real development - MTK just renamed the 2 year old Dimensity 930 and didn't even bother to make any changes

      Combined with Motorola's infamous software support and MTK's continuing refusal to release source code for custom ROM development, this is a mid spec disposable phone being sold for its true value

      • +1

        Mediatek is very good value for money, you would never get an equivalent Snapdragon for a similar price, they are a great option for this price point.

        • +2

          yeah, the snapdragon faster update vs mediatek price difference for me is mediatek and save some money, my oppo x5 lite was only 3 mths behind the snapdragon version but was much cheaper. i don’t run custom roms, i’m just a phone user.

        • -1

          Mediatek is very good value for money…

          MTK offer cheap initial prices

          Whether you feel their issues with app compatibility, modem flakiness, power consumption and poor software support are balanced out by the cheap price is your own decision

          … you would never get an equivalent Snapdragon for a similar price

          Feature specs are useless when the modem/radio hardware + baseband are C tier

          With 3G gone by September, all the real issues that MTK and Motorola never discuss - including compatibility with VoLTE / VoWiFi / VoNR across all 3 carriers - will become evident

  • Tempted to get it for daughters birthday but that ain’t till sept and it be old tech by then probably something else will come along better by then.
    But is very tempting and specs seem ok for the price

    • +4

      it will be old tech when it is less than one year old?

      I doubt very much there will be better deals than this price for this much phone anytime soon.

    • Wait for a great pixel 7a/7 deal. Don't get your daughter a mediatek Moto phone mate (just putting myself in your shoes). Even though they may not be as cheap as this. As someone pointed out above, this is a use and throw phone. A pixel will get you at least 2-3 years, if not more.

      • +1

        Many people are still using the Pixel 2 XL and even the original Pixel and now with 7 years updates they will work for ages. Just need easily user replaceable batteries for all phones.

      • +3

        You can't get a sub $200 pixel 7 by September….

        Depends how much this parent wants to spend…

        Kids phone first one no need to be expensive

      • +1

        You are comparing a phone that is $750 with a phone what is $180. Be realistic.

        • I agree.

          I guess I am trying to put forth my idea that a phone without software support for at least 3 years is really a half baked phone. It's a strong feeling I possess and this deal is not the right place to be expressing myself.

  • -1

    Great deal… But no oled screen?

    • IPS 120Hz as listed in the description.

    • oled is the g84, but that’s currently $380, but also gets 256gb ram and is snapdragon …. depends what you want from a phone and how much extra you are willing to pay for better screen that you look at several times per day for the next 2 years, is it for yourself or your kids or grandparents ?

      • Haven't seen a 256gb RAM phone, even my PC has only 32 GB. You probably meant 256 gb storage or ROM as many phone manufacturers describe

  • +26

    i feel like i have to buy one just because I keep seeing it on here

    • +10

      One of us, one of us

  • Now I have buyers remorse after paying $188 at OW's earlier today 🤣

    • dont worry bought it for 250 OW a month ago

      • +1

        Bought it for $250 a week ago 🥲

  • Thanks OP, worked for me ⁠:)

  • +4

    I don't need it… Why am I so tempted lol

    • +2

      Same here.

    • Bought one anyway :(

    • +3

      So tempted and I almost clicked on the buy button
      And I realised that I rather spend the money on upgrading my PC or buy another refurbished PC instead of buying a phone I don't need

    • +1

      because when you need a spare phone there won’t be any deals and you end up with bad phone cheap or good phone overpriced.

  • Big w / Woolworths gift card site isn't working otherwise I could avail 5% further discount. It says site is closed for site maintenance

    • Got the same issue, no point waiting when stock could disappear near my area at any moment.

  • Cracked my screen on the way home from blink182 the other day

    At this price, I'd be stupid to replace the screen (was intending to just deal with it anyway it's not that intrusive), should just replace the whole phone

    Great phone for the price…aside from the crack in mine :'(

    • +1

      Cracked my screen on the way home from blink182 the other day

      Disappointing, you should've busted it in the moshpit.

      • Deadset I'm pissed, I wore jeans so I would have security for my keys and phone.

        Get home at like 2 in the morning, go to take the bins out, put the flash light on my boot, boom, (profanity) thing fell on the goddamn driveway. Sucked ass, man.

    • Buy new phone bring old phone back in box? Any smash warranty on phone?

      • +1

        I won't pretend I didn't think about it. But I just can't imagine anyone believing this phone is brand new, and it came like that. Defo thought about it lmao.

  • +1

    I dont even need one but still got it 🤣

    • Same, too good of a price to refuse! Was contemplating the G14 till I saw this. Luckily I held out!🤣

    • Me too. It's worth it, after all, I use it every day.

  • Thank you, OP, bought one of each colours for my in-laws, fingers crossed they are available for pick up, as most of the shops around were our of stock…

  • +2

    Please stop me from buying this

    • username doesn't check out.

  • Pulled the trigger - used an old Special Super Shopper card to pay for it so got an extra 10% off (trying to burn through those Special cards ASAP)

  • Out of stock while I'm paying for it!

    • Seems it's now in-store pick up only - any stock in stores near you?

      • thanks! you're right.. but a bit out of the way so I'll get it from ebay instead..

  • Thank you OP

    • +4

      No. That is apple ecosystem stuff you only get on apple devices.

        • +2

          Yes. Categorically absolutely definitely sure.

          Hence, I use bitwarden on my apple devices instead of keychain since I also need to access passwords on non-apple devices. And apple pay works for me since I mostly just pay with my iPhone, but Android Pay has great acceptance too if you need to use that.

            • @[Deactivated]: Is that a question or a statement? I use BitWarden, haven't heard anything bad about it like the frequent LastPass breaches.

              1Password is a terrible name, I mean using "One Password" is the first thing they tell you not to do 🤣

            • @[Deactivated]: I prefer Bitwarden. I pay for Bitwarden and it is both cheaper and more comprehensive for my needs than 1P.

  • Not available Sydney area. Closest pickup location is Richmond. Can only add the wishlist 😞

  • It's getting to the point i can't justify taking a chance on the better features of the poco x6 when this is so cheap.

    But how is the brightness on this? It seems to be a measly 560 nits? How is it viewing the screen in sunlight?

  • melbourne stock is craigieburn , not sure i want to drive 43km for a phone , and can’t select for delivery …

    • +3

      I live in Craigieburn and come to Camberwell most days of the week if it works for you.

  • +2

    The G54 is the cheapest phone with eSIM, 5G, 8GB RAM and powerful performance for the price.

    Agree with all that but powerful performance. It's not show, but don't use it like a premium phone, I got a lot of app closing.

    GPS is loosing tracking after a hour or so.

    It has not only the worst camera you could find today (worst than a 7 years old LG), but it doesn't even have an ultra wide angle lens.

    I tried from a previous deal and had to give it back to get an old S20 for the same price with 5G and esim. Everything is so much better, unless the battery obviously.

    • +2

      Not a premium phone?.. we already know that… it's under $200.
      Worst camera? I compared against my iPhone XR and 14 Pro before I decided this was a great option for my mother going on holidays. This is 80%, for 20% of the price.

      • +2

        ikr, anytime there is a ~200 phone on OzBargain, apparently all the professional photographers come out to shit on the camera and say "oh its horrendous, it's totally unusable!" because it's not quite the same as a brand new iPhone. It's always total hyperbole.

  • Does this deal expire?

    • Yes

  • +2

    code only knocks off 10%, bringing it down to $269?

    • Yes same here, Everywhere else is back to $299 as well
      Should've grabbed one yesterday :-)

    • +1

      Great now I don't have to think about buying it. Saved some cash

  • +1

    Wow, this product just bombed the market. Nice tactics, Motorola.

    There's going to be a massive user base and plenty of support for a phone that's not the latest iPhone or Galaxy.

    • +1

      moto, who are lenovo are good at mid range phones, probably because they make PCs, laptops and build servers they are geared up. I usually just buy mid range phones. only downside is 2 OS updates, nokia do 3. but with 800 charge cycles , if charged daily you can afford new phone in 2-3 years.

      • Oh, I forgot about the Lenovo bit and I read about it recently too. It's almost impossible to avoid China. Gotta stay alert. Recently purchased two Rapoo mice, too. I made the decision to pay a little bit more elsewhere. But no offence to the good people.

        Didn't know that about the OS updates, cheers. And charging daily.

  • Big W just cancelled my order.

    • That is sad to hear. I place my order at 9:45pm.. Just got an email my order is ready to be picked up.
