A great range of phones, for less. That's what you get with Like New. And if you change your mind, you have 14 days to return it.
I have been looking out to get one for my Mrs for the past week - but was out of stock. Her 1st Gen Moto G was smashed by our son - so she needed one badly........I am pleased I waited out
As my wife is not a heavy user this will do her fine.

Bit of an exaggeration....About 6 phones have been released with 6Gb of Ram and they are generally flagships, even then it's just for bragging rights, Android still doesn't need that much... 1-2Gb is the
norm for phones in this price band...
Does not matter how many times you say it, it still will not be true.

the whole idea of lollypop and marshmallow according to Google was that phones with as little as half a gig of ram could work fine.it was predicted to be less ram intensive.all major sites like techradar mentioned this.android should run fine on one gb of ram.two gb at most.the 6gb of ram phones are stupid.it just encourages waste and makes manufacturers lazy in ram management.it is ofcorse now a selling point more ram better phone.they run out of ideas.im not a fan of apple phones but they have the right idea small increments each new generation but software that is made to run to perfectection on lesser specs instead of the android steroid approach pumping full of higher numbers

O2 allow you to unlock online for free immediately, and cancel any sim contact you might get with their deals for free too, so you can get their good deal phones, and get off their network quick fast. 'o2 refresh' do some good deals, search hukd for it and check out past/current deals. some are so good you can make money reselling the handsets. Good luck when you call them though! they're awful!

Think I would rather grab the Idol 3 brand new for the same price, slightly more ram and 1080 x 1920 screen.
Edit: my mistake, this is the 4.7" which has a screen res of 720 x 1280

Can you please provide a link/ share a deal for the phone you are referring to?

Not at all bad. £10 more gets a new one at Vodafone, but they have no stock. So, heat for your deal!

Here you go, there's a few comparisons out there for these two.
Desperate to get hold of the 16GB for a sensible price...and no, the G4 is too big!!

Only 1gb ram in Android phone. Will run out of memory all the time. Better spend little more and get decent phone with at least 2gb ram. Nowadays latest Android phones come with 6gb ram.

Most people prefer phones they can get from the UK with all the back up they come with as opposed to the ones you seem to be alluding to that typically are from the Far East.

My Mrs has had this phone for about a month. Absolutely fine for day to day tasks.

Is this based on experience? Because in my experience of the moto g first gen which I'm holding in my hands now and have had for nearly 3 years this has never happened. 6GB of ram on a phone. My desktop only has 8 and that doesn't struggle with demanding tasks. 6GB of ram in a phone is nothing more than marketing bait for the have to have latest and greatest bunch.

For those having concerns about lag etc. there is an interesting comparison video between 2GB and 1GB https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgM_dE6EMOk
