missing compass is not a problem for car satnav use BUT as I found out for the second time in London, it makes foot navigation very hard at times....once again I strolled in the wrong direction for 5-10 mins before realising I was going the wrong way. it's the single most annoying (missing) feature on an otherwise excellent phone.

Can't you just download a compass app?

Not really that much of an issue works fine inside a car uses 4g/3g to get direction, for the price this is stunning the screen is on par with iphone 6s, decent camera etc fantastic software, IMO this is the best sub £150 phone money can buy, better than the redmi note 3 in every way apart from processor.

I was going to buy one until I saw a review that said it had no NFC or compass.

Yeah Lenovo doesn't really have a temperature check on reality. Significantly cheaper Chinese phones of today come with NFC and Compass. Without NFC no Android Pay, and without a compass you'd find it difficult to follow directions properly while walking using mapping apps, amongst other things. These features cost pennies to implement and are definitely not luxuries in today's world; even TFL now uses Android Pay so you don't have to keep track of a separate Oyster card.

Shame as the G4 and G4 Plus are pretty good value for money. At this price, and with a JL 2 year warranty, I still think it deserves some heat but yes no NFC specially is a deal breaker for me.

is this the best available for the price? unless I buy a Xiaomi, Ulephone, Elephone, UMI from Gearbest or Bangood.

Depends - there's some good deals floating about at the moment, though they are often very short term.

I wouldn't get an Elephone again. [My P8000 has] No gyro / compass, NFC, or OTG and the headphone socket has broken.

I'm happy with something like my LG G2. It's past its best now, frequently crashing.

Mine has been a cracking phone but the battery lasts less than a day now with moderate use so a replacement is needed.

I loved mine, but one fatal incident last night has left with a broken digitizer and looking for a replacement! I'll swap you one screen for one battery :smirk:

I recently did a factory reset of my phone, cured all it's problems (I.E Slow loading times, crashing, apps closing)

are you refering here to Moto G4 crashing?
If so,why do you think is it crashing?

i find this phone and previous versions don't cope well with Messenger and it causes Google Play to crash, so I uninstalled it and things improved
