    And get 10% off extra at OW with Celebration Gift Cards (if they haven't dropped their prices) from Wednesday!

    Looking to upgrade from my Galaxy S20FE. Is this the play? Or wait for the Black Friday sales proper and hope that the Samsungs go lower?

    • rcgy, Ive got the same s20FE and thinking exactly the same ! or pay more and go the S23 FE or wait for the S24 FE next year?!! but BIG price diff!!

    • +1

      It's a solid choice for the money. That said the S20 FE is still alright imo.

      • Yeah, it's working alright, but the battery on mine is pretty toast, and the camera is rubbish.

      • My S10 is still going strong.

        Kind of looking for excuses to buy a new phone.

    • +2

      In same boat (assuming the S20 FE 5g model).

      Currently it's very minor upgrade. Most features are the same, specs are also very similar between 7200 Mediatek and Snap 865. The only real upgrade I see is extended software support as this is 2024 release and the Sony Lytia 700c sensor instead of the commonly use IMX sensor. That said opting for 50mp photos will choose consume more storage - image quality isn't always about resolution.

    • Exact same boat. The s20 fe is getting a little long in the teeth

    • Going from s20fe to s23fe. The main two reason is the e sim and the ai stuff.

      Fyi the s23fe is heavier than the s20fe.
      If you do get the s23fe grab the 256gb version if its 100 more.

      Motorola is more value for money option.

    • +1

      I'm also holding onto my S20, I did try to replace with Pixel 8a but Google's "clean android experience" means "lack of good features" compare to One UI. Sold the 8a only after 2 months of use and back with my beloved S20. Peopel say Moto Hello UI is close to base android ui so thats a big no to me. Bang for your bucks tho for the spec offered.

      • +2

        Samsung Dex is very nice when you need it.

  • +10

    Comes with a charger too! Blasphemy!

    • +7

      clearly motorola hate the environment, unlike the noble apple /s

  • how does this compare to moto 50 edge fusion? iothe thn screen size and battery capacity.

  • So much phone for so little. Tempted to buy even though i have a fully functional s22

    • How much would you sell your s22 for?

      Looking to upgrade my S10 for cheap.

  • +3

    Ordered and going to pick up soon. I'm going from an iPhone 14 Plus. I was going to get a 16 series but the prices are just not worth it. This pricing is insanely good.

  • Would this be an upgrade, downgrade or cross grade from an iPhone 11? (Android vs iOS aside). Is the camera lag on this a dealbreaker?

    • +2

      Not what you want to hear I guess but anything feels like an upgrade from iPhones. X- iPhone user, hate the ios and its restrictive ecosystem

  • Officeworks web site says, online only. How to get it for $330?

    • +1

      call their price beat phone number - 1300633423 - they will confirm it and you can pay over the phone via CC
      you can either get it delivered to a store nearby and pickup or in my case they were happy to deliver to my house, i think thats for metro areas only

  • +3

    As a brand are Motorolas actually considered good? My G84 is easily the worst phone I've ever owned, but I haven't sent it back because I know nobody is going to take the time to test for the issues I'm having (pretty much all messaging apps only show notifications about 1/4 of the time despite being 100% turned on, meaning I miss a lot of important messages or have to keep the screen unlocked with apps open if I'm expecting anything).

    This looks like a good price for the specs etc, but only if it actually works..

    • I have the edge 30 fusion and it's great, better than Samsung's I've previously owned. The software is very lightweight and battery lasts about 2 days.

    • +1

      OMG yes
      messenger not connecting until open.

      Google SMS app is all good tho.

    • +1

      I'm not 100% sure it'll work but have you tried disabling any batter saving features for those apps?

    • +1

      Maybe try to disable "Adaptive Battery" in Battery setting

  • +11

    RIP just bought from mobileciti last night. I will never financially recover from this.

    • PureVPN 130% cashback can make it back into bigger profit once a month ;-)

  • +2

    brilliant just price beat over the phone with officeworks and should be delivered to my house tomorrow cheers!
    couldnt figure out the gift cards option so just had to settle for the $366.40 discount from their listed price

    • So was delivery $30.40 ?

      • +1

        no sorry, their listed price was $697, the price beat price was $330.60 so discount from listed price was $366.40

        • That makes sense to me now.

  • +1

    Why so cheap?

  • +2

    Thanks OP, I had left over balance on some JB gift cards, plus 4% discount via Macquarie https://www.ozbargain.com.au/wiki/discounted_egift_cards so this was easier/cheaper than OW.

  • This or G85?

    • +3

      This .. better software support

  • +3

    Ordered for $396 @ jb last night. Just cancelled and got OW price beat with free delivery over the phone. Thanks OP.

  • +2

    thanks mate, got one -5% with a gift card

  • OOS in OW, they can't price beat the red because it looks different or describe differently … whatever

    • Still in stock at OW for me

      • +2

        That's what the lady told me so I did some research and it didn't make sense so made a 2nd call, ready to argue about the colour. 12 mins waiting, then told the guy that I wanted the pink, he put me on hold for 2 mins, came back all good, then asked for payment details because demands are going through the roof. Managed to get the order in and now waiting for the confirmation email.

  • Just got told they're OOS

    • Just got one in Qld, they shipped it from NSW

    • +1

      Grey one was OOS when I called

  • Price beat at Officeworks(officeworks.com.au) to get it for $330.60 before they change the price

    170 people who bought yesterday … "Dammit!"

    I would have even been happy collecting from JB today rather than waiting however long it's going to take to ship to WA from mobilciti.

  • +1

    Seems we have some well known issues with Camera lag, Battery drain, and heating?

    • seems like there's a way to minimise it and may not be a major thing unless you use the camera a lot. I think it's acceptable at this price point tho …

  • +1

    I just grabbed 2 for Christmas gifts from OW. Thanks, OP.

  • I tried price beat with Officework but when I paid with my credit card by phone, they said there was some system error, had to call 4 times to fix the problem.

    • +1

      Had the same problem lol was kind of annoying.

    • +1

      And then they just matched it. It was a way to block out any price matches

      • +1

        Not sure, a few of us got it matched.

        I ordered the pink one as a gift, but JB Hifi's product code was wrong on the pink, but she said she can tell it was an error and just matched it still.

  • +2

    Love the competition folks!
    700 to 350 then 330(OW Pb) what next ?

    Let's aim for $250 before end of 2024!
    50 Neo prices going down down prices are down

  • +3

    I'm waiting for tomorrow. Should be under $300 by then

    • Hope it goes down then price protection cc kicks in hehe

      • Paid with AMEX essential to OW for the added screen cover, came in handy for me with my last phone. Don't think this AMEX has price protection though, darn!

  • +2

    I wanted to use my JB HiFi GCs, so had a chat with JB HiFi Sales for a better deal - They brought it down to $338 and shared a direct sales link. Ordered one thanks.

  • +1

    Camera is awful, n slow

    • do you own one of these or is that just based on reviews?

      In reviews the images look decent but yes, many people mention the camera app lags. Hopefully a gcam port is better for that

    • Isn't it something they can fix with updates? At least the laggy camera app. And for picture quality I read in another thread about GCams, which apparently can improve the quality. Need to read more about it.

  • +1

    Officeworks have matched the JB HIFI price

  • +2

    Officeworks: Online only…. unavailable online.

  • This or the Amaysim S22 deal for 300 ?

    • What deal is that?

      • +1

        you will need a 3G mobile for 200 voucher.

  • It says on the website Credit of up to $200 is available to assist 3G impacted customers, so it may be less than $200

  • JB have changed the Model number, is this the same phone?

    • Model number? tap, tap, anyone home

    • Probably an error on their end. Happens all the time. If you click the red one it still has the original model number.

      • +1

        your correct, am ordering, thanks

  • For that price and those features? Thats amazing. If I didn't have a g84 I'd jump on this. The telepohoto lens and wireless charging alone has me slightly tempted.

    • Same but i ended up buying one. Will sell my G84.

      • I'm holding on to the g84 cos a root exploit has just been found XD

      • Dude it doesn't have a mSD card slot. eff that.

        I love my mSD. I got a 1tb in my g84 and it makes everything so easy. Cos I mainly use wifi instead of celluar except to google stuff on the go. It holds all my music, favourite movies and tv shows, reference materials etc.

  • +8

    Actually ended up going for the phone! Thanks! Never EVER bought a Phone at this price before! All my phones have been $200 or less and all of them were 4G so this is my very first 5G phone! This has made my christmas!

    Went for the grey one of course as red is meh… If they had the blue one I would of went for it but owell. I'll just look for phone covers in the future. Thanks!

    This is a huge upgrade for me too as my current phone is a Motorola G50 which is an old phone now and stuck on Android 10.

    • +8

      You're so excited. It's rather cute.

      • On his/her rocket to space

    • Enjoy!

    • I was the same for the g84. I completely understand homey. If its anything like its baby cousin phone, your in for a treat and it was money worth being spent. Especially since motoroloa has agreed to honour mandatory android updates for 3 (or 5?) years I can't remember but your battery will be dead by that time. So again excellent choice.

      Let us know how you feel about the phone after a month or so use, I'll check back.

  • I have replaced my Samsung S20 FE 5G with the Neo and have to say my initial thoughts are that it is decent improvement. The camera in particular looks good and does a far better job in low light.

  • two orders using different cards cancelled?? OOS Perth it seems.

    • Same

    • Yeh got hammered.. was in stock everywhere when I ordered in the morning, then nothing anywhere when I looked last night.

      It's showing stock at Forrest Chase right now for both grey and red though.
      Grey seems to be available for delivery now too, though not red.

  • +3

    Any case recomendations for it?

    • +1

      Yes, cue to case sellers, lots of people will be buying those cases now 😑

      • The protective case that comes with it is pretty decent.

        • Oh nice, good to know
          Also has screen cover with it?

          • @dealmaker: no screen protector

          • @dealmaker: My Moto G54 doesn't have screen protector unlike my OnePlus Nord CE3 Lite 5G. So, maybe this phone also doesn't have it. I went to a mobile phone & accessories shop and got a universal film screen protector applied at $20. I don't like tempered glass as it may not last long before crack like few months in my experience. Not everyone can put film screen protector properly without bubbles, so use the seller's service included with the screen protector.

        • I didn't really think so, it's doesn't give full protection down the sides, just the back

  • +3

    Walked into Harvey Norman and purchased.
    Upgrading from the Motorola Edge 20 Pro.
    The camera is a huge improvement.
    Size is great and snappy little phone, battery so far is decent drain for moderate usage.

  • +2

    Thanks. Bought one.

  • Wow this phone is selling out like crazy. I think I managed to get the last grey one in my area as now both CC and Delivery is out of stock.
