    Nuts. I need to tunnel myself out of the Apple Kingdom but my friend's will disown me if I do. So much phone for the price.

      Exactly,i want to pull the trigger on this deal even when i dont need it, especially when im traveling abroad,making my price to be around 200$

      I mean, it sure would be embarrassing to be a person who had a phone that looks identical to every other phone and with 5 years in the future features compared to their phone.

    • djkelly69 on 04/11/2024 - 08:17

      Aren't RCS chats enabled across both platforms now? Or is there other reasons?

      • Fybre on 04/11/2024 - 08:20

        Be nice if Australian telcos actually implemented RCS in the networks though

        • MasterScythe on 04/11/2024 - 10:14

          Which telco doesn't?

          I'm on Optus currently RCS-ing to my parents on Telstra.

          • maydenjurphy on 04/11/2024 - 10:19

            @MasterScythe: No Australian telco supports RCS on iOS yet

          • Fybre on 04/11/2024 - 10:23
            +3

            @MasterScythe: None of the Australian telcos support RCS at network level.
            Are you using google's SMS app? That falls back to RCS over data with google's own backend system (jibe) if the telco doesn't support it on the network level. The iphone messaging app only utilises RCS at a network level, so it won't use it in Australia, thus you don't get iphone - android rcs messaging with the apple messaging app.

    Since it's self applied code, should probably be fine. Saying this from experience as i claimed a similar deal for g84(20%+10%cb) for $244 back in july. Back then july2024 code was auto applied but i still got my full cashback

    • BargainMonkey on 04/11/2024 - 03:46

      You're right, it has applied

      Got one of these a few weeks ago. After coming from a Poco X3 this is a very disappointing phone. It's a low thrills budget phone so the price is about right. Try holding it in your hand before you buy it, it's very uncomfortable .

        • bboarder on 04/11/2024 - 23:31

          F3 was incredible value for sure. I still use mine too. Shame they stopped supporting it recently.

    Fantastic. Pulled the trigger for my son's first phone heading to high school.

    I'm aware his social standing may be affected, and figured he might not use it as much as a "cool iPhone". Method in my madness!

    Comparing to G84 from recent deals -

    -3.5mm headphone jack missing

    Seems to be about the only changes

      Ram?

      • AnotherTelcoWorker on 04/11/2024 - 19:23

        The g85 actually has less RAM than the g84, 8gb vs 12gb.

        • yht on 05/11/2024 - 10:49

      85 has a curved screen.
      Which other Ozb commenters have noted is bad for mis presses, bad for finding cases, and bad for breaking screens when dropped.

      If you used westpac and had sb plus,should be 233.6 effective price (considering my prev purchase of 349 on 30% cb yielded me effective price of 245) . Can someone confirm the final amount who bought using this method

  • wetsandwich on 04/11/2024 - 08:11
    +10

    I have had a G84 for about a year and it has been the most garbage junk 'phone' if you can even call it that, which I've ever owned. Maybe I just got unlucky, but I'd never buy the brand again as long as I live. You could pay me $350 and I wouldn't take any of their phones. The only good thing is the battery life.

    Doesn't receive notifications half the time, SMS's sometimes take 3 days to be received or sent (almost cost me a relationship as she thought I was ghosting her), and many apps need to be repeatedly reinstalled to continue functioning.

    Just get the equivalent Samsung and you won't regret it. And yes, even if the Samsung costs 2x what this pile of garbage does.

    • RandomDealHunter on 04/11/2024 - 11:17

      Had Oppo a few years ago that did that and I found out it was due to aggressive RAM management which shuts down apps and services to give that extended battery life!!
      It was a pain as I was in Uni and got hated on as I wasn’t responding to team members for a major assignment. Resorted to Samsungs and iPhone since then as I need to have the basic functionality first.

    • Maths Debater on 04/11/2024 - 12:52

      Yeah, I’m not sure why people rave on about Moto G Series phones. They’ve probably never owned flagship models. I had one for a very short period and thought it was junk. The one phone which I was impressed with is the ThinkPhone. I was very happy with that.

    • lew380 on 15/11/2024 - 01:39

      I've had the G84 for a few months now and I feel it's as good as a flagship for anything other than gaming! Camera is nothing fancy, you can feel the lag from the slower chip when opening apps and powering through settings, but life goes on. The weak Bluetooth volume is another gripe but it's fixed using booster apps, less than ideal but all round it's a great phone!

      I think you are having problems on your end or got a dud.

  • sunday9987 on 04/11/2024 - 08:31

    I have this phone and been using it since August. It's a fantastic value phone for the price. Lightweight, battery lasts well over a day, camera takes good photos, esim, etc. Really can't complain for the price.

  • locomofo on 04/11/2024 - 10:23

    So close to pulling the trigger, if this didn't have the curved screen (asking for scratches and cracks) and missing headphone jack (Moto please not you too), I would've gone straight in. As it stands, those two issues plus the chipset basically being a slightly better Snapdragon 695 (circa 2022), means that this isn't that phone you can just buy and forget about buying a new one in 4 or 5 years.
