        The more G84 deals continue to be offered, the more confident that Moto-AU is still holding-stock & are likely to dump them soon…closer-to $200 ?
        I'm betting on Moto-AU stocking more-phones-than-usual with 3G shutdown in 2024.

        Some of these neggers will be quietly buying & smiling: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/15395574/redir

        Will Moto-AU dare to repeat their mistake with G82: was selling them for a higher-price than G84 in 2023 ? The only way to hide the heavy-discount is to bundle-them with other-specials, eg Amaysim G62 offers.

  • semaj on 29/06/2024 - 10:56

    Hi rep,

    Are you able to help with some questions:

    What is the difference between the cameras? (G84: 50MP Ultra Pixel camera + OIS / vs / G54: 50MP camera system with OIS)

    Likewise with the 5G - is Next-level better than Superfast? (G84: Next-level 5G performance / vs / G54: Superfast 5G performance)

    Do they support eSIM?

    Thanks.

      G54 supports e-sim and has SD support
      G84 does not support e-sim and does not have SD support.

      Cameras on phones like these are horrible. Don't bother too much with cameras at a price point this low. But if you need a video for reference, there's plenty online Here for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4prgniCNIY

        I disagree. I bought a G84 a few weeks ago and was not looking forward to the camera. However, the first thing I did was switch to the GCAM mod, and now the photos are excellent. I'm pretty critical of my photographs, and use multiple DSLRs - not comparing them, but the G84 cameras with GCAM are terrific. The stock G84 camera app is terrible - really terrible. But the GCAM makes everything fine.

                You just download it to your device, then navigate to your downloads folder. Tap the three vertical dots (a.k.a. the kebab menu) next to the downloaded .apk file, and select "Install". Your device does the rest. Then make sure you set it to your default camera app.

                    Why did you put older version link of gcam BSG MGC_8.9 ?

                    @neoleo because it's a matter of fact that that was the version I installed, and it's been stable on my G84. You'll see the warning under the 9.x branch, which reads:

                    *This is a new version, so choice is still limited and they might not be very stable or full of features.

                    If you want to install the latest build, then go for it, but I don't have time to mess about with unstable apps. That's why I linked to the version that I know works.

                      @blitz: I tried the 9.2 V15 and crashing after a photo or two, will try the 8.9 as you suggested.
                      Tried the 8.9 version and seems more stable right away. Thanks.

                      @blitz: It looks like from all versions of BSG's gcam mod, around version 14 or 15 is stable/good enough, then he move to the next version.

                      Under Advance setting, version 9.x has "Ultra HDR" and "Rich colour in photos" (display P3 colour format). Version 8.9 doesn't have these features.

                      Now I have 2 gcam with the latest version and the version 8.9. So far, I cannot distinguish the photo difference between these 2 versions in my phone. One photo has Ultra HDR and richer colour, then the older photo with 8.9 version without these features.

          I'm not familiar with GCAM or how it works, so it's my fault for being ignorant and automatically assuming it's bad. What exactly is GCAM and how does it work?

          • blitz on 29/06/2024 - 12:39
            +4

            @NotReallyaMoneySaver: GCAM is just Google's camera app. It replaces Motorola's crummy camera app and it makes the world of difference. From the website above:

            "This is a modified Google Camera app, also known as Pixel Camera. Google Camera is the stock camera app shipped on Nexus and Pixel phones from Google. Google's HDR+ technology improves picture quality specially on low and mid end phones.

            Features include HDR+, portrait mode, motion photos, panorama, lens blur, 60fps video, slow motion, and more.

            Because Google Camera wasn't created to work on all phones, it's all a bit messy (read: why so many devs/ports), but a few developers try to make it compatible with a huge number of phones."

            In fact, the Motorola camera app is such an adverse signal (camera quality comes up in every conversation about these phones) that I wonder why Motorola persists with it.

        • rix on 29/06/2024 - 13:14

          Whilst using the gcam app makes better photos, it cant be set as the default camera (launched from the lock screen for example) so it's less convenient. Furthermore, other apps that use the camera like Instagram or video calls etc use the default Motorola processing. So in a lot of instances you have to put up with poor quality.

          • neoleo on 29/06/2024 - 13:59

            @rix: Just take photo first with gcam then upload to Instagram, etc.

          • blitz on 29/06/2024 - 23:08

            @rix:

            Whilst using the gcam app makes better photos, it cant be set as the default camera (launched from the lock screen for example)

            With GCAM installed, Android will ask you which camera to use when gesturing (e.g. double wrist turn to open camera): you just select "GCAM" and then "Always" and it's set as the default camera for that gesture. I can't comment on Instagram because I don't use it. But my recommendation there is to pre-record the video call using the good camera, and then just play it back in the app. If the other party complains, I'd tell them it's a $260 phone and they should build a bridge and get over it.

            • rix on 30/06/2024 - 17:32

              @blitz: Unfortunately thisis incorrect advice aas it hasn't worked without root since android 11, when google disabled changing default camera for security reasons. If you do manage to change the default camera to gcam and use the quick launch shortcut, you will need to unlock the phone before it opens.

              Instagram, Snapchat, tiktok, whatever app uses the camera API will all be poor quality.

              Pre recording a video conversation, very clever.

                @sintro: There are some download links, just try each of them or according to your phone spec. Certain gcam mods are only compatible with certain phones or otherwise crash. Other answer could be that you messed up the gcam settings maybe. For example, certain phones that don't support 4k video, just stick with 1080p option.

                There are other settings that should only be changed according to specific phones.

                Also different processor could crash certain gcam mods (not compatible). Snapdragon processors should be fine. But more tricky with Samsung Exynos processor, Kirin processor etc.

      There are significantly fewer bands on the G84 vs G54, especially for 4G. I wonder why that is.

      G84 also does not have eSIM, despite being positioned as the higher end phone vs the G54.

    The new G85 is priced at US $229.99 which is under AUD $350 but again with gst and fat retail margins, we must pay $450.

  • Ultima-weapon on 29/06/2024 - 12:27

    Bought G54 at JB hi-fi yesterday. Listed $199, asked rep for a deal and got it for $189. $12 difference to OP deal, but nice to have in-store.

      Nice try, but don't forgot small businesses. If they can't compete with large retailers, Do you think they will still provide the lower price?

    Hi store rep,

    I purchased two TCL earbuds. They are both faulty. I emailed [email protected] and [email protected] but received no response. Are you able to help me?

      Australian stock, rep is responsive and they create some of the cheapest all time lows. What's bad about them?

      • alan737 on 29/06/2024 - 14:20

        Overpriced, poor customer service, and unprofessional when it comes to processing an order.

      • Saiya on 29/06/2024 - 15:23

        For me warranty support. With a TCL phone I purchased under a year ago they fobbed me off and told me to speak to TCL directly.

        • shxhshzhz on 29/06/2024 - 15:52

          Unless it was within a few weeks of purchase, isn't contacting the manufacturer the standard procedure for a warranty?

    How would the G84 compare to my aging Galaxy S9+?

    • shxhshzhz on 29/06/2024 - 13:17

      It's an upgrade

        Jumped on it, cheers.

        The S9+ has been flawless apart from having to replace the battery once, time to relegate it to a back up phone for the kids.

  • MeesusEff on 29/06/2024 - 13:20

    I bought the g54 for my mum do I haven't had much time to play around with it, but it's there no way around the Google Photos for the camera album? It's so annoying to get into as it keeps prompting her to add storage even though back up is off

    • neoleo on 29/06/2024 - 14:07

      I think the problem is Google Drive, not Google Photos. Check the gmail app then tap top right of the account to see storage used xx% of 15 GB. How many GB storage left over from the free 15 GB total?

      • MeesusEff on 29/06/2024 - 21:20

        She had no storage left, she couldn't even send emails so I sneakily deleted some of her photos lol. But even though I set the Photos app to not back up automatically it still has the storage notice there

      Install the Google Gallery app.
      This is the way!

    • blitz on 30/06/2024 - 12:14

      I installed AVES gallery and don't use Google Photos at all.

  • revivor on 29/06/2024 - 13:35

    I got a G84 for $245 from JB Hifi last night. Talked to the online chat but only got $5 off. I then had a $50 coupon from the 3G trade in.

  • zaphy on 29/06/2024 - 13:37

    How's the Motorola's Android interface compare to Samsung's? I'm looking for a replacement phone for the old man's Samsung A20 but he may get frustrated with it if it's too different.

    • ninohax on 29/06/2024 - 14:20

      It is quite different Moto UI is close to stock Android UI like the pixels but with couple of extra features on top. Samsung's One UI is an all together different beast like Xiaomi's MIUI which is also a completely custom UI. In short your dad might find it a bit too different to his liking. He should get used to it in a couple of weeks though.

    • Alexxx on 29/06/2024 - 14:55

      After the Android 14 update I can't get the G54 to have the back button on the right which is a bit of an annoyance for my dad who was using a Samsung before.

        I searched around the other day and it seems it can't be changed now :(

    HODL if you are an opportunistic buyer as the G85 has been launched. Otherwise get this one if you absolutely need it, this is still a decent price.

  • mkh1991 on 29/06/2024 - 14:32

    No esim for g84 is deal breaker

  • pikachupw on 29/06/2024 - 14:40

    I have both the G54 and G84 phones in hand. Their overall performance is quite similar, as indicated by their identical AnTuTu scores. The main difference is that the G84 has an OLED screen, which I find more comfortable.

    • Be Happy on 29/06/2024 - 18:01

      So true. That OLED gets so bright that in outdoor one doesn't' struggle looking at the screen .

      • WT on 30/06/2024 - 09:18

        what about darkness, e.g using the screen in the dark, does it go dark enough or burn your eye balls after 3 mins?

  • hunderthal on 29/06/2024 - 16:21

    Can either phone do USBC > HDMI?
