Another option is to buy the Moto G4 locked to Tesco Mobile for £149. Add something cheap to get the total to £150 so you can add the voucher code TDX-WYMJ which gives you £20 off a £150 spend.

You can get the phone unlocked on ebay for around £1.15

After voucher and unlock you will get the phone for around £131.15. Maybe worth the trouble to save a few extra pounds or to get the phone in blue.

How's the phone, I lost track of all the different versions.

G4 is £129 direct from Motorola, or was when I looked on Saturday

phone is sim free from Tesco so no need for unlock code

Worked out for me at about £133 on the motomaker site for the dual-sim version after 15% unidays code and quidco knocked off.

How much memory does it have? 8gb I suppose

good deal but better from.motorila direct given dual SIM

just ordered, thanks, good price, I like Motorolla Moto G phones , I owned 1st gen, 3rd gen i now i will have latest model

Thanks for this. It has saved me a lot of time reading reviews. The compass thing is a deal breaker for me. I had a windows phone a few years ago without compass and I couldn't get on with the mapping. Mush prefer when the map orients itself to where I am facing.

Motorola's site for purchasing phones directly from them. It also allows you to customise the colours (that's the 'maker' part).

I just noticed the Motorola have added NFC to the spec of the G4 Play, which means it's compatible with Android pay... It seems ridiculous that NFC is missing from the other G4 models, especially the G4 Plus with it's fingerprint sensor.

Motorola's mix of models and variations are a complete mess.

Who remembers the days when you can get £10.00 voucher when you spend £50.00 as a new customer. I miss those days

Typical just bought the Idol 4 for someone as a present, now I could have got it cheaper :neutral_face:

https://www.myunidays.com/

You need to be a student or no someone who is.

I have still not seen a single deal of the 32GB version :disappointed:

​You're right. But TBH Mrs wants NFC after me using it all the time on my Nexus 5, but wants sim free and as vanilla Android as possible. Her 1st gen is remarkably untouched by Motorola.

I'm even considering an X myself after the disappointment of the 5x & 6P specs

yes, some apps cannot be installed on SD, or still leave some data on internal storage. I dont have many apps/games and keep running out of internal storage (16Gb internal, 128GB SD card)

Remove the apps you don't use. Before you say, there will be apps you don't use.

I picked one up on Saturday,excellent phone for the money :smile:

hmm I'm confused.. this one isn't the dual sim version.. which one is the dual sim version?

I was going to buy the Motorola G4 until i popped into my local carphone warehouse store. I finally settled for the huawei p8 lite in the sale for £109. I was stuck with the usual stuff with those lot having to buy a top up card. But I still think it was a good deal taking into account what the phone specs are.

I'm a little confused - is this the Moto G4 (2016) version? Thought it had dual SIM...

That's Lenovo management for you

Are you using the SD card as 'portable storage' or in 'adopted internal storage mode' ?

I thought if you select it as adopted internal storage it acts just in that way - without any problems from the apps?

Motorola Linky

Someone posted he got a dual-sim G4

It wouldn't be from tesco though.

In my experience its basically no different to apps2sd in lollipop. Most apps still can't be moved to the SD card, and many that can still don't work properly (crashing, widgets missing, widgets not updating).

The only real difference is that the SD card becomes encrypted so that its only accessible on the phone.

Some of the white models were Dual-SIM, mostly sold by John Lewis. I think all new stock is single-SIM unless otherwise stated.

Its on a Sony, so don't have that option (i dont think). Good idea though, if it works.

edit - seems to be an Android 6.0 "feature", so will see if i can do it.

haha... been there, done that. Hard reset next, had the phone for 2 years and not done one yet

I agree, the name Alcatel is a barrier for some.


Its not so clear cut there are certain restrictions, its also up to the developer whether it can go onto the SD card, the same as it was with move to sd card function.

Make sure its a decent card also because if it fails you have to reset your phone.

Not always. There were some white JL ones which were single sim.

However I think all black JL ones were guaranteed single sim.

Do you have any recommendations for similar spec and price as the Moto G4?

Battery life on the Motorola is better, however and for me that makes it the better phone since the rest is fairly even :-)

Compass?

Good spot OP.We have four of these in our household now.Typically brought one in store Saturday at £149 but got some clubcard voucher money off though. :smile:

Then that's a listing error. White = dual. Black = single.

The white one is available dual-sim, and available via appliancediect for £150.

No it was anecdotal evidence from this forum. For a while we thought white was always dual, but then a few reports came in of people receiving single-sim white versions.

Yes it is - when I put a card in my G3 it asked what kind of storage I wanted it to be. It didn't work as adopted storage though, because the card was 64GB and 32GB is the max supported. YMMV.

ordered thanks

​I hope you aren't a student :smile:

Completely wrong information! At least on the UK models. The only dual SIM 3rd Gen Moto Gs I have seen have been from India.

If you buy from Motorola themselves the 4th Gen models are dual SIM. At least they were when I was looking a month ago. From elsewhere you need to check first.

The only dual SIM UK Moto G model was the 3G 2nd Gen one which only has 1GB RAM.

3000 mAh will always win over 2600 mAh, would have been nice to get 3000 mAh like the 4s.


Know not me :smirk:

Multitasking, hands are ahead of my brain.

Not always :-) It's heavily dependent on software optimisations and the efficiency of the the display. With the G4 running stock android you've got the best chance of better battery life and it's shown in benchmakrs. The G4 is a smoother experience than my S7 edge :/

Cheers OP ordered one as my wife has just broke her phone and her birthdays on Saturday. FYI if your looking for a £1 item, cat code 383-1580 - sticky note pads, because why the beep now

edit: also noticed the turbo charger is listed as sold separately on the black model, but is included on the blue

Yeah of course I was referring to phones with similar spec as we have here.

Those asking if this mobile is any good.
I bought one of these for my partner , camera and screen are truely excellent for a phone of this price , its bright and images are crisp . Processor appears to cope with anything thrown at it so far , no stalling. Personally the shell does feel a little cheap to me but most people would put it in a case. For those enjoying a small handy phone this isn't for you , its quite big. One downside to my partners previous iphone is the sound quality during calls , it doesn't cancel out background noise very well and very poor in windy conditions. It comes loaded with android marshmallow which my partner loves.
Its everything my partner needs and only lacks in areas which she can cope with however it may not be for everyone. I purchased this one from John Lewis giving it a "good" 2 years guarantee and good customer service. White dual sim version ( yes it will work fine with just one sim ).

I got the g4 plus with 32gb from Motorola for £209. Brill phone

No, sorry. I didn't do as much research this time around as I was upgrading from an earlier Moto G.

Moto G4 Play now available on motorola.co.uk website for £129.98, reduced to £119.99 with promo code UKWELCOME10 (free delivery). 5" screen, 1GB Ram, 16 GB internal memory.

There are 3 models of Moto G 4 (not including dual sim):
- Moto G4 Play (the cheapest but the worst)
- Moto G4
- Moto G 4 Plus

Does anyone know if this is the same size as the 3rd Gen ?? Looking to upgrade and was hoping I could use my genuine Motorola flip case.

Thanks

​Why bother?

Ha ha, I hope he/she isn't a teacher either!!

Could buy a quarter of an iPhone for this money.

​No I thought that too but very quickly my phone memory became full. I then notice while in Storage and USB if you select internal memory apps . When you open app info at the very top on some like Facebook it says change it then allows you to move the app to SD card from internal memory or vice versa. Hope this helps.

Apologies you are quite right.
Confusion on my part as the other half has a 2nd Gen & Baby Girl has a 3rd Gen.
Definitely Mrs 2nd Gen is Dual SIM.
My bad.

IS THIS BETTER THAN SMART ULTRA 6?

This phone is fantastic, absolutely cannot fault it, got it for £160 from Tesco a while back. Posting from it now :smile:
Pro tip though: get a 'Turbo Charger' from Amazon for about £10-£15, it charged the phone ridiculously fast! worth every penny.

Hi has anyone got a unidays code going spare - I'm itching to buy a moto g and get rid of my old slow iPhone - I'd be very grateful if anybody could pm a code Thankyou max

White and black models are £134.95 delivered through appliances direct with £20 Which discount code

I found the Moto G to be a bit physically big for my taste. Given that the Moto E (3rd gen - with LTE) has most of the features (but, just like the G4 annoyingly no compass!) with a 5inch screen and has been on sale for as low as £35 in HDUK recently I preferred it!

The Moto E (3rd Gen) isn't out for sale yet iirc. Due out this month though.

That was in previous versions to and not all apps can be moved, Marshmallow introduced adoptable storage where external memory becomes part of internal memory so there's no need move apps manually as you describe, either way not all apps can be installed onto SD card, which is what he was saying.

Yes sorry! it's the Moto E (2nd Gen,LTE) which impressed me. The 3rd Gen is, as you say, due within weeks and will further improve both the screen and camera - and make it even more a "smaller G4"! - It won't, however, be as cheap as the 2nd Gen has been recently (~£99 or slightly lower)!

​The Vodafone Smart Prime 6 has a compass and costs £45, I went for that one for that reason

Is it much faster than the 2nd Gen Moto E? That phone was overhyped and dog slow IMO as my cheapo EE Kestrel was actually faster :/ Pffk plus it was a heavy bulbous thing compared to the Kestrel and my 635!

​why does Pokémon Go need gyro?

I think he was looking at the lower spec 'G4 Play'.

Would you mind giving me a link on the one you got? Just looked myself but the one I found said it was OOS, unsure if same one though.

Great price, heat added :smiley: , although I just ordered from John Lewis for £20 more but I personally like the 2 year warranty

Please correct me if im wrong but I just bought what I consider to be the far superior samsung j3 2016 edition with Super Amoled for £99.99 + £10 top up this weekend from my local EE shop.

Super Amoled might have a better contrast ratio and power consumption, but might also suffer in the colour purity area. Other than that, it's 1/2" smaller which to me is an advantage (esp. given same resolution).

Not sure how durable that glass is compared with Gorilla Glass. It only has Android 5 apparently, and 1.5G RAM vs 2G. Fewer camera megapixels but that doesn't mean worse. Otherwise, I'd have to start digging into reviews and would also be interested to hear others' opinions.

Hmm Trusted Reviews: "The problem is that it neglects some of the basics, resulting in a patchwork of the rather good and really quite bad. The Motorola Moto G [3rd gen] offers a far more consistent experience for similar money."

I've had this for a couple if months now and love it. So much so I've got rid of my iPhone. It's 16gb but I've got a 64gb SD card in it. It's black and dual sim. It's made by Lenovo and I've swapped my iPad for the Lenovo tablet which us great too. For the price, I only paid £129.99 from Appliances direct with cash back and a Which offer it's amazing

Is this G4 the same as Moto G4 Plus £229

No, the hints in the name. This is the G4, the link you posted is the G4 Plus, which has a fi get print sensor and better camera.

​Yeah I know that but still certain apps get stored on the internal memory using valuable
limited memory. These can be moved manually on to SD card as I explained. This is even after installing Marshmallow.
Go to settings click on storage and USB. Select internal memory then select apps stored on internal memory and some not all hive you the option to move by selecting CHANGE. You need to click on each app and then click on one of the options til you see the word CHANGE once that is clicked it asks if you wish to move the app to SD card on mine it says SanDisk. Like I said only a few apps stored on internal memory are moveable Facebook is one that can and so save a huge chunk of memory straight off. Try it for yourself. Well it works that way on my Moto G anyway.

Ah, they've changed it back down to 10%. They seem to do that every now and then. I still think, even then, it's a better deal to get a dual sim phone, unless you're OK with white and want to take a chance on John Lewis (of course, I guess, it can be returned unused to JL if not dual sim?)

For me at least, the quidco did track and did physically payout in addition to the uindays discount.

Have the locked to tesco ones all gone? I can't find them on the website and the link in the post redirects me to tesco groceries.

Can anyone recommend a case?

Can anyone recommend a cheap item to add to basket so I can get 20% off the Tesco Mobile locked G4? It's £149 on its own. I can't find anything on the site that costs £1 or less.

cpw £129.99 payg upgrade o2/voda. https://www.carphonewarehouse.com/motorola/moto-g4.html#!colour=black&capacity=8GB&dealType=pgud&tabID=specificationData&network=O2
