    The red one has this cool textured back to it. Actually looks quite nice in person.

      Which store? I am quite keen to see it. Cheers

      Pantone Viva Megenta.

      Feels very premium….when it's not in a case.

      Pity the marshmallow blue color is only at JB
      It has the same texture back but looks nicer than the red one

    10% discount via Everyday Extra but I don't know if it stacks: https://www.everyday.com.au/extra.html

    • +1

      You don't need the Everyday Extra. The XJUL2024 code works without the subscription. Just make sure you sign in your Everyday Rewards account.

      • Ah huh, thanks for clarifying :)

      • Guessing can use the code once per rewards account?

        • +1

          Correct, once per calendar month but can always sign up to a new BIG W account.

    Anyone know if this is dual physical sim?

    • +5

      It is

    • +2

      Yes its dual physical sim

  • How long is the battery life? Is the screen sharp?

    • +1

      Screen is superb

    • Battery easily lasts all day

    • Very light user here - I get 3 - 4 days on a charge.

  • -2

    Such good specifications, such shitty software support.

  • +1

    Tempted to get it lol

    I've been using Motorola g5plus since learning about it on ozb. I am now on G82

    The only think I dislike about the phones is the camera is not good.

  • Do you know how many years of security updates we are going to get? TIA

    • +2

      It will have 1 major android update and 3 years security updates (~2026).

      I have the prior generation Edge 20 Fusion and it's gone well. I've upgraded after 3 years to the Razr 40 and it's going fine so far. Edge 20 Fusion still working normally so I keep it as a backup phone in case mine or one of the family phones goes 'Yeah, Nah'.

      Main features I love:
      * Battery
      * NFC
      * Stable, minimal bloatware
      * Fast charging
      * Headphone port

      Don't like:
      * Meh camera. Decent shots but not Apple/Samsung level.

    I wish this had eSim like G54

    • +3

      Unlike dearer eSIM phones, G54 only accepts 1 eSIM
      To add new esim, had to delete old eSIM first.

      As was using old eSIM for 2FA, requested replacement SIM on same number to be able to access account when needed.

      Not what I was expecting.
      For years, swapped physical SIMs regularly for free data & calls in Deals. Thought eSIM on G54 would do the same.

      • Did it really stop you from installing a new esim until you deleted the old one?

        I found that forum thread that you linked but found another post elsewhere that said the G54 was capable of more than 1 esim. And some guy on WP said he got more than 1 esim on his.

        Well this is quite disappointing if it only holds one esim.

        • My experience:
          Yes. Repeatedly refused to add new eSIM via QR code or link in app sent with purchase of eSIM.
          Contacted Amaysim - told to delete installed eSIM to install new one.

          Set up in 1 minute after deleting eSIM!!


          Advice in link is from a Senior MotoAgent in Moto forum!

          Seems other people are giving advice based on their experience on flagship eSIM mobiles (eg iPhone), not G54…

          That incorrect advice is what I read before buying - that could receive calls on 2 esims & swap between more.

          It can't!

          Bought to easily swap between eSIMs on long overseas travel.

          • @INFIDEL: Cheers for posting your experience.

            I think I'll keep to using a physical local sim in my G54 and leave the esim for travel esims.

    • No eSIM, no wireless charging, not waterproof,
      What else is missing?

  • Do these record calls automatically?

    More RAM than the entry level MacBook Air

    • -1

      More RAM doesn't mean anything. It's the hardware architecture, OS integration and optimization.

  • +2

    Just a heads up that there is a known bug with the volume when connected via Bluetooth or headphone jack. The volume is quite low on max setting. Apparently there is no fix for it as of yet either though it was reported to Motorola months ago. A quick Google search will confirm it.

    • Yep I can concur. I have a Galaxy Note9 as well. To get the same loudness on my car's stereo with both the G84 and Note9 set to BT 100% volume, I have to set the car stereo volume to 33 for the Note9 and 42 for the G84.

  • Had decent budget phones in the past, decided to jump to a flagship (pixel 7 pro), honestly wish I just kept buying these, it's so stressful having a $1000 brick in your pocket lol

  • This or the Redmi Note 13?

  • My God, just how many of these things did they make?
