All time low for the Motorola G54:
On my computer, it kept showing $299 no matter what I tried, and even when I attempted it on Firefox, it still showed $299. However, when I tried it on another computer with new Email, it immediately applied as $149 and the payment went through smoothly
I ended up ordering on my phone and it went smoothly.

Order total (inc GST) $155.99
This doesn't have a native photo gallery, uses Google Photos as the albums. Settings doesnt seem to allow changing to SD card storage which is what I was hoping for. Unless someone has a work around this? Didn't play with it too much as I got it for my mum
Is there no app on Google play for photo gallery to go to sdcard?
For storage choice, open the camera app, hit settings in the top right corner, then scroll down to storage and tap on the text "storage" . It will then give you the option to change to SD card or phone.
root it up and then install pixelify 😎 unlimited Gphotos storage
damn i see the phone is clearly more popular, but i was happy to see Spider-Man 2 at a reasonable price, thanks!
Well it’s a game and can only go lower prices. It’s intangible compare to holding a phone in your hands.
Plus games and software is not valued as much
Had lots of problems using JB! Repeatedly couldn't log in. Wasted over an hour😜
On mobile using Chrome, logged in with Perks
Tried to order Indigo Blue @$149 available at local store. But it showed then disappeared at checkout! Cart empty! Tried a few times.
Tried Midnight Blue - repeatedly was $299!! Not available locally.
Then cart kept increasing orders by itself until it reached 112 @$299 = $33,488!! (Took screenshot)
(Don't think my 2 year old Moto wants to be replaced!)
Pulled out old laptop using different browser.
Went straight through for Indigo Blue at local store. Paid with discounted gift cards to save $10+🎉
Unfortunately $10 Perks voucher was too slow to turn up.
I had the same problem too
Need to have a new phone to order it
Have one now😊
Anyone know how to re-enable these perks emails? I unsubscribed at some point and I can't find a way to resubscribe.
I was still a perks member (just unsubscribed from emails) so I didn't think to try this. Hopefully it works, thanks.
Getting spam is Perks. So unsubbing from emails is no longer being a member.
Did you get it @Roe Jogan
Mines ready to collect
Already seeing an influx of these on eBay lol
Thanks op! Mother-in-laws birthday gift sorted out

Ordered, thanks OP
Can anyone that has this confirm if they have ready for or moto connect? The feature that allows you to connect the phone to the tvs hdmi and use as a desktop. Thanks
I have one, it does not have it. The G84 does though.
Ah ok got it thanks!
Motorola G54 at $149? Wow, great price!
Don't know why but ordered on the last second, after seeing comments saying its a great price :)
congrats!
basically placed order at 8.59, ready for pickup already, lightning speed. Monitoring this and G84 at the same time, this is great deal, Thanks OP
I clicked on this thread at 9am ;-(
The same. Saved me $149 on a phone I did not need.
Thanks OP, you're a true hero!
Fantastic value for $149
Can't agree more.
Does this do volte with Telstra
It will do volte with anyone ;)

Arghh!! Ordered one this morning, Had to pay shipping as they didn't have any in stock locally with ETA of 3rd May. Just checked and its in store at my local JB with instant delivery!!!
Tried calling them and there is no way to move it from delivery to pick up in store… They said I could cancel the order and go instore and pay $299 for it. No thanks.
Guess I'll just have to wait 2 weeks for this deal to show up on my doorstep
Same
Picked it up this morning. Absolute banger for $149. I was looking for a second hand pixel to use as travel hotspot with eSim. This will do the job :)
Shame i missed this
Picked up today, young bloke at the back keeps saying "another Motorola" etc. Seems like been ozbargained.
Mine says ETA delivery for today in NSW but tracking says it's processed in TAS. I doubt it would arrive that quick.
Not a bad phone. Build is decent, got the indigo blue and like the smooth pleather back. Came with a basic case installed and will stay on. Added a screen protector, my one for Galaxy A52s fits close enough. Clean Android, feels snappy enough so far.
Not bad for 149.
I bought this phone from Officeworks @$196 on the last sale cos My OnePlus 12 was still on Pre order , I used this for about 1 month while I was waiting for my Oneplus12 . I absolutely loved using it. It's really snappy and has some great features for such a phone ! .. Although I love my OnePlus 12 , I really can't justify the 10x Price difference. Now that I have my Oneplus12 I gave the G54 to my son as he needed a new phone. He loves it.
Gotmy $10 welcome bonus and I also had a $100 JB voucher sooooo … Of course I had to buy this deal 😄, Bargain for something I didn't really need ,
But For that price that's a steal!!
Cool review. So the question is is Oneplus 12 really worth buying? I highly doubt it.
Oneplus died off after 7T model. I told myself I would not ever pay more than 1k for a phone. Pixel 8 Pro with Optus was close to it at $900
Although I agree OnePlus fell apart for a while during that stage , I think they have regained my confidence with the 12 , The OnePlus 12 is again on another level , As I said above , I don't see any phone being worth 10 to 20 X the Motorola price .
The 20 minute 0-100 fast charging has saved my arse several times after forgetting to charge it overnight , The build quality and the feel in hand is amazing, and In my opinion Oxygen OS is still better than most other OS out there and closest to vanilla android. The main reason for my purchase was the fact that I received a refund from Amazon for a OnePlus 10 that I purchased 18 months ago and had to send the phone back due to audio issues. Long story .
I figured I would treat myself to a 12 as the refund almost paid for it in full.
So the question is , Will I buy the OnePlus 13 or 14 , or even another phone over 1K?? Probably not .. But so far very happy with the 12 and would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a flagship phone.
My previous G51 battery had started to degrade and needed a couple of charges a day after lots of hotspotiing , timing was too good to pass up .
Anyone having problem with kogan esim with G54 Moto?
Does messenger work for anyone? I downloaded messenger and before I got a chance to sign in it says
"Page isn't available right now".
Can anyone try and see if it works for them after downloading it?
usually to do with adblocker/vpn/firewall settings
you can use FB Lite as a workaround (which spies ever so slightly lesser on user)
Hmm somehow it randomly started working, mainly after I changed WiFi location. Strange but glad it works
Just got the phone - incredible how much value in $150
Goes to show how much profit is in the iPhones that sell or $1,500 - $2,500
You need to consider R&D, shipping, Software development costs etc and after sales support. I agree Apple is overpriced. iPhone should be around the 1k mark asking for 1.5k is a bit rich
Even considering all that you can say Apple has to be 3/4x more expensive to recoup the costs but at 10/15x price differential there must be huge profit margins in there.
Also R&D? what R&D they havent done anything innovative in years. If anything they just copy what android did and make a big deal about it.
Last big change was usb c
PS I have an iphone 14 pro. Just bough this because its 1/12th the price of my phone so didnt seem like much - but its a proper decent phone 0_0
Could buy 4 of this for the price of replacing a cracked display from Apple
or cracked back.
100% agree.
Has anyones order shipped? Status of my order (confirmed) has not changed since putting the order for the delivery.
Neither. Worried they will cancel
Mine is shipped now, I had to contact them to get my order moving..
How durable is the screen. I'm waiting on a screen protector but want to use it in the meantime
Not. My family has cracked the screen on most of their motoGs… The Samsung's appear to be stronger.
Daughter even cracked hers with a screen protector and case it comes with… Will never trust that again.
Use a case with front cover. It will also double as a stand.
Great phone but feel the colour balance is a little off by default. Anyone have colour settings they use and are happy with?
Read review before buying - LCD screen was the main failing (colour & brighness, especially in full sun).
I changed mine to Natural (instead of the default Saturated) in Settings -> Display -> Colours. The colour theme may take some time to get used to. The default theme has a blue tone. While I like blue colours in general, the theme applied to some of the apps does feel a bit unusual and while it looks fine indoor, the default colour theme will make some of the apps (due to the theme applied) more unpleasant under bright sunlight.
The LCD screen isn't as good as a high quality IPS screen. The contrast shift (when viewing it off an angle) is quite high so it is a cost effective IPS (understandable).
I've gone Natural with 1 notch toward warm, seems a little more balanced.
Could probably fix it more with a 3rd part app but it's good enough. It's quite a clear and bright screen otherwise, and overall a great phone for the price.
My order now says it's
Delayed
There's been a delay processing your order from our store, our team members are working to get your order on the move as soon as possible
same
Mine was same, so I called them on last Friday (long hold) and asked them if I can pick it up from local store where its available now but they said no… but they changed the disptach location to same city where I'm as its available here.. on Sat it got shipped.. I suggest you do the same..
I just picked up my phone from my local. I rung them directly and they got the order transferred over (even though online team couldn't do it). Anyways using it now and I must say a huge upgrade over iPhone 7 but just gotta remember it's not an iPhone.
Lots of brodens on this one. Heaps appearing on eBay for around the $230 to $250 mark. Of course my elderly neighbour tells me on the weekend he needs a new phone and was looking at a POS from the post office. This would be perfect, but being a week late for this deal, he now he has to pay a broden tax to some (profanity) on eBay.
TIL: broden
Well it’s always you snooze you lose. But plenty of Brodens around but let’s not buy any and let them hold stock like ps5
I just picked up mine from my local after no response from the online team. Anyways if not for the "brodens", your neighbour would be paying $299 for it.
This was a 1 day sale which ended at 9am. It wasn't sold out.
My order got delivered yesterday
Has anyone elses moto g54 suddenly stopped loading websites?
I can't seem to find a fix….
interesting, chrome seems to be bugged
maybe try this
Thanks so much
Interesting only happens in chrome I guess? And if you use Samsung Internet browser will be fine?
I'm having this issue with Yandex browser and chrome and I was about to change the phone
Yandex is Chrome based as well. So it's just the crappy GPU on this phone not fully supporting chrome rendering.
No but I do have issue with sim manager crashing so dam often, and giving that super anonying popup so often
Is anyone having an issue with the facebook messenger app? Not displaying some old chats? Not sure how to fix this. I transferred all my files from old phone oppo to this moto g54 but some old messenges are not displaying on the chat history for moto g54. I cleared and reinstall the app a couple of times even use my mobile data not wifi. Not sure what is the issue.
Thank you.
I joined Perk and got the $10 coupon, along with 5% discounted gift card, it cost me $132.05
