Great phone, and the recent Marshmallow update is making mine last 3-4 days between charges! If you want the customisable version (apparently 196 different combinations!) direct from Motorola here's a heads-up it's under £225 at the moment! Let the wails of "it's not dual-SIM" commence...
My tip? Turn on the 'tap to focus' feature on the camera (or use a different camera app maybe? I've not tried them myself) to get the most out of the camera.
Use code UKMUM16 to get 10% off and thanks to a couple of other HUKDers (bosbusm, honeymonster86, Grrrd), using the UKWELCOME10 code as well results in a cost of £209 at checkout though I can't work out how! According to hlk01 and sparrky, you can get topcashback or quudco cashback to take the price under £200, which is fantastic.

3-4 days between charge? what do you do, text and call only?
I charge mine everyday but then I'm a heavy user, especially games.
Really happy with the phone tho. I've no complaints as it has been well worth the money.

I bluetooth music to my speaker when cooking (mostly stored but some streaming), email and browse mainly with a bit of texting and occasional calls. I have turned off NFC as don't use and I only have bluetooth and wifi on when using them. Took a bit of time since Marshmallow update but am really seeing much longer life now (due to cache being built up maybe?).

My maths might be bad but I make that £214.10, still better if it does allow code stacking though. Will update the OP when I get in front of my laptop

Hmmm maybe if you take the £10 off first then 10%? Well it's all good anyway :smiley:

The UKMUM16 code was advertised as 10% but it actually took £30 off when I went through the checkout. The code is listed by Quidco so you can also get 5% cashback (I only ordered last night so can't confirm that it's tracked).
