    Title doesn't mention eBay. You must be new here. 😉

    • +16

      Yes it's my first day of OzKinder. Sometimes I get too excited by the price.

  • +2

    Looks like mobieciti has too much stock, and are not moving well.

    • +4

      Or perhaps they want a killer deal for Black Friday? Taking advantage of big sale events is a great way of making money. The phone has always been popular here at least. :)

        Taking advantage of big sale events is a great way of making money

        Most businesses love this one simple trick.

        • Evidently some people don't know this simple trick 🤣🤣 Something I learned in my first day of OzKinder.

  • Dimensity 7300?

  • +1

    that battery though….

    • +2

      Battery has been good for me. Currently on 60%. Used it to play my podcast during my hour commute both ways and used it on and off during the day. 45 min lunch break and Spotify since I got home at 4

    • +1

      Should be fine given the processor. Efficiency is pretty good on Mediatek these days.

      Bigger is always better though.

  • wooh bloody good deal this. Wish the phone had a bigger battery and two physical sim slots.

    • e-sims are way better, especially for travel.

  • +1

    Dammit I bought this last week :(

    Decent phone so far for the price!

    • Where did you buy it? If you get from JB, you can get a refund with 14 days.

      • Only if still sealed.

        • Sorry, I should say Refund. I meant Refund of the differences!

      • Mobiciti! Only an extra 50 bucks or so but still

        • Oh, you won't get the money back as the $50 discount is provided by eBay.

  • Great price!
    Does this phone support ReadyFor (desktop mode) via usb-c hub? Anyone know?

    • +1

      Based off Motorola's comparability checker it only supports it wirelessly. I've really enjoyed using it with my Motorola thinkphone and am considering getting a neo (bought a US thinkphone model and it struggles rurally without band 28 unfortunately).

  • Will the samsung a55 5g come on sale similar to this?

    They are similar spec but i think i would prefer the a55.

  • +1

    does diag port get removed upon root?

  • +6

    This is a LOT of phone for $350. If Motorola/Lenovo can prove their new 5yr update promise with this phone, I'll make the jump from Samsung. Stock-ish Android is a drawcard for me.

    • +5

      More accurately at $699 RRP 5 OS updates sounds more believable than the on sale price of $359.

      • True. Hopefully this spurs Nothing to up their game. Their devices are also super compelling to me.

        • They would have to make a smaller, thinner and lighter phone by removing all the frills.

      • 5 update what!

        • Yeah, more than their current 'flagships' XD

  • +2
  • +1

    Love that the bezels are even. It's one of the small things that many budget phones can't get right.

    • The bottom bezel is a little thicker than sides and top

      • Oh lol. I couldn't even tell. So a good thing then ;)

  • +2

    I bought two from Mobileciti's last deal ($397 ea) for my parents, due to the 3G shutdown rendering our Poco and Xiaomi phones (both VoLTE capable) useless.

    Very impressed with this phone. The auto-brightness can be a bit twitchy at times, but otherwise the hardware and software both seem very nice. Highly recommend if you're looking for a decent mid-range phone.

    • +1

      My Poco F5 working fine on Boost Mobile (Telstra).

      • Yeah I heard Telstra is mostly fine. Unfortunately we're on Coles Mobile (Optus)…

    • Do you see an issue with Camera laggy?

      • I noticed there is AI post processing which does result in delay about a second after taking the shot
        but it does improve the photos alot. And that's a software thing. I actually don't mind it because it forces you to slow down and consider photo taking (kinda like old school film camera) instead of taking multiple shots of crap, and the results from post processing is very good.

    • My poco F3 is working fine. I did have to change it to ALDI mobile (Telstra) but that took me like 10min

  • Do Motorolas have any obvious cons? I remember I read something about that in the past in another deal but not the details

    • +1

      The Camera's are not that great. Apart from that they are pretty damn good.

      • +1

        Fortunately there's a few GCAM Configs around that make it better.

      • It had a big issue with Camera laggy?

    • +2

      Samsung dude here, bought the Motorola razr when it came out the big difference is the Samsung software is polished easy to use out of the box when transferring media etc to PC where as motorola you have to install Motorola rescue assistant just to grab a photo of your phone…..Pissed me off so much sold it and bought Samsung flip4…..Now caveat Motorola Razr flip never has any screen issues like my Samsung flip4 I have to replace the screen cover for the second time , this time not under warranty.

  • 350 to 400 is a normal price in Asian countries. Just checked price in Philippines and India.

  • Camera is meh.

  • +1

    Is 4300mah battery okay for a day's use? Seems a bit low for 2024 phones

    • Yes, it's very efficient

      • How do you think it would compare to the Moto G85 with a 5000mAh battery?

  • Does it work on all networks? can it call 000?

    • +1

      Yes. It's not an import.

  • Assuming this craps all over the TCL posted yesterday at $397?

    • Different use case, that one has NXTPaper technology. More like a ebook reader.

  • Thanks OP grabbed 2, lets see how it goes.

    Any owners recommend a case?

    • +1

      I just scoured aliexpress and taobao, there's like a grand total of… 5 cases for this.

      Be careful though, in China this is the Lenovo/Motorola S50 (just S50). They have a separate Lenovo/Motorola S50 Neo, which is NOT this phone. On aliexpress you'd probably have to triple confirm with the seller since some of them have both names.

    • +1

      These guys have a few options for cases

      Not affiliated, have never heard of them before just found it on Google

  • What does the CPU compare to in a snapdragon?

    • +2

      This would be equal plus or minus 5 percent too a snapdragon 7 gen 3.

      For 99.999 use case it's fine.

      The phone only has real issues with photos,but that's software issue not hardware

      Honestly at this price there isn't a better phone on the market,not even close

  • This or moto G75 or edge 50 pro ?

    • Yeah I'm tossing up between those and also the G85 and the standard 50

    • Hard thing is I need regional reception, otherwise the 50 neo would be a slam dunk. Qualcomm is almost necessary where I am for a good time.

  • +1

    FFS…ordered yesterday, got the phone today and already 50 dollars cheaper!?

    Anyone has had experience with CommBank Awards Ultimate price protection? Is it likely / possible in this scenario?

    • *sigh…

      What is covered?
      This cover refunds the cardholder the difference in price if,
      within 21 days of the purchase, they advise us that they have,
      subsequent to their purchase, received a printed or emailed
      catalogue showing the same business items or personal goods
      for a lower price in a store within 25 kilometres of the store that
      the business items or personal goods were purchased, and the
      price difference is greater than $75.

      • I see you got there yourself already but yeh, CBA price protection is junk.

        There is 90 days Purchase Security if you were to lose your phone somehow though (with $100 excess)

  • +3

    Now that we can't import phones with 3.5mm + sd card + wireless charging, for my personal use case I see no reason to pay 2-4x more for Galaxy series over this deal.

  • +1

    What's mobileciti's return policy like? Mine just turned up from the $397 deal still in packaging, then is it worth the hassle for $47?

    • +2

      I opened mine :(

      Maybe buy one and return to my order.

      • +2

        $10.80 return fee plus postage which will be about $17 with tracking… Cant be bothered…

        • Yeah.

  • Code not working?

  • -1

    Seems this Motorola Edge 50 phone had an issue with Camera laggy. Did people hear about that?

  • +1

    What are people's thoughts on this motorola vs the nothing phone 2a?

    I am coming from an iphone8 and would love to escape the apple ecosystem. But also want a better phone than what i have (and larger screen). So many options with android, but don't know how they compare (beyond flagships). Other option is to stay with apple and get a iphone 12 refurb. Budget is upto $500ish.

  • Wake me up when its $230.

    From 700 to 350 in a matter of months, then i would like to see $200 ballpark within 2-3 month period. What a inflated price to begin with… what was mr motorola au thinking… then again apple/samsung duopoly gang is ever so inflated $$$

  • any recommendation for screen protector of this phone?

    • If fast…Amazon. if can wait (I found an old iPhone 13 one to tie me over) from AliExpress.

  • +2

    Guys thought I would share my thoughts on this phone and deal.

    In short. If you are thinking. Just buy it.

    Bang for buck rating is off the charts. For context I am on a Poco F5 SD7+Gen2 SOC, 5000mah battery etc.

    Using it today I am super impressed. No noticeable slow down at all when using it, yeah MediaTek is up to scratch now. Battery I guess it's still new but it's only dropped 15% compared to my F2 (9 months old) battery dropping faster.

    The form factor is lovely, I am getting sick of 6.7+ inch phone the last couple of years, while this is not 6.2 it strikes a good balance of smaller but not too small. Its noticeably lighter as well. And yes. I consume a lot of media on my daily driver.

    Love the UI and all the extra Moto software. So much nicer an experience than Poco.

    You get the charger included in the box. Period.

    Love the gold (Latte) colour and the back is not slippery like most other phones. Any questions ask and I am happy to give feedback.

    If I had to complain…the finger print scanner is placed low on the display, but it's not a deal breaker as I use pattern and face unlock mostly and a preference thing.
