      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. :)

          • Trishool on 20/11/2024 - 23:38

            @hippo2s: It's this particular chip a high end or low end one? Or what would be the Qualcomm Snapdragon equivalent?

            • Dollar Dreamer on 21/11/2024 - 02:19
              +1

              @Trishool: If you are looking at a $350 phone as your budget, you have to decline you own questioning on the issue if the CPU is high end. It is good enough for making fast phone calls and is also super fast in sending text messages. Also good for Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Youtube.Hell even a $150 Android phone will do all of the above well enough.

              • hippo2s on 21/11/2024 - 06:52

                @Dollar Dreamer: Great point. Relative to what the usage scenarios are, I feel the SOC meets all requirements for 99% of users.

                The performance of this SOC is more than good enough to be competitive. If in doubt, head into a local store ask for a phone with this chip and test it out.

                I have not seen or experienced any slow down, although I am still installing apps and migrating over. And I have been a long time Snapdragon user. I am very happy with the price and the only thing I lose is 3.5mm jack (hard to come by nowadays) but that's not a SOC issue.

              • Trishool on 21/11/2024 - 07:41

                @Dollar Dreamer: My bad, I thought this phone was on half price sale from $700 hence the question, I didn't see it was down from $400.

                • Dollar Dreamer on 21/11/2024 - 08:05

                  @Trishool: It is super fast at making phone calls and sending text messages and also in Facebook / Social Media sites. That's all you need from a phone for $350.

                • jel10 on 21/11/2024 - 09:04

                  @Trishool: Yes, $350 is half price.

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

      Bigger is always better though.

    • bamzero on 20/11/2024 - 21:02

      Supposed to be reasonable

    • ab c on 27/11/2024 - 20:36

      HEAVY-users: beware 4300mAh battery…can be forgiven considering many features @ $350.

      Android14 & APPs are power hungry than ever.
      Imo, GSMarena's battery review don't pass the smell-test.

      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).

  • SH3P on 20/11/2024 - 19:30

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

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

    • Ciderfizz44 on 20/11/2024 - 23:28

      In the same boat, it might go to 450 but not any lower. You're also missing out on wireless charging and potentially the e-sim as most of the cheaper a55 deals are for the international model (without E Sim)

      I'm probably going pull the trigger on this

      • greenslade on 21/11/2024 - 07:05

        I went for this and I'm happy. I've been waiting for A55 to come down for 6 months and it hasn't yet.

    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.

    • Clear on 20/11/2024 - 19:36

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

      • heef on 20/11/2024 - 19:38

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

    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.

      Do you see an issue with Camera laggy?

      • hippo2s on 20/11/2024 - 22:05

        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.

    • marcaum123 on 20/11/2024 - 21:54

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

      • ShowTekk on 21/11/2024 - 05:06

        Yup and your F3 is still faster than this phone

        • hippo2s on 21/11/2024 - 06:58

          I am not sure about that. We don't use phones maxed out at full throttle for long enough period to notice unless you are a very dedicated hardcore mobile gamer.

          I am on a F5 but I feel the experience is same between downloading, opening apps, switching between apps etc.

          So technically, yes, but in reality, not so much.

          • ShowTekk on 21/11/2024 - 09:25

      I wouldn't say Motorola in general, but this phone in particular has Gorilla Glass 3, which is not that fantastic. It will not scratch very easily, but it will shatter at very short drops. Not for clumsy people like me

        In some cases its reverse. For example PS5 digital is 550 here and 900 in India. This is due to companies expecting more ongoing revenue from an Australian consumer than an Indian consumer.
