No! This has been down to £99 & even £94 very recently. Just hold on for a bit & it'll be around that price again soon

Cold! This is 2016! 1gb does not cut it! for £90 not worth it!
Spend only £10 more and you get 2gb ram and a 1080p display, for the Ultra 6
Sorry
If this was the proper 2gb ram version it would be worth it!

Maybe people who are looking at a 5 inch phone want a 5 inch phone not a 5.5 inch one?

You should try looking harder. It's mentioned on every Moto G4 Play page on their website. It's one of the headline features, and its also listed in the specs.
the only place i can see that suggests it does have it is on the car phone warehouse site. can't see it mentioned on the motorola site

The camera isn't quite as good as the Moto G 3rd, although it is very similar. Photos generally look the same when zoomed out, but are less detailed when zooming in. Low light photos aren't great on the G4 Play either, but are only slightly worse than the 3rd and G4.

I have bought 3 Moto G phones so far, So am on board with this brand. However I strongly suggest you should buy last years Moto G3 over this model. Because;
1 - G3 Has a better camera (16m/p)
2 - G3 has a better CPU (Quad-core 1.4)
3 - G3 is water proof (IPX7 certified - water resistant up to 1 meter and 30 minutes)
4 - G3 is approx the same price !
The only improved feature is the inclusion of NFC, and if you don't know what that is, its not worth the mistake of buying this phone. Also if you buy a phone this year. Make sure it has at least 16gb internal memeory, if you intend to install more than 4 apps, not already included on your phone.

2) it's the same processor. It was underclocked to the same speed on G3 according to several reviews i read.
4) g3 fair bit more than this with 16gb storage and 2 GB ram except when Moto had their code stacking mistake

Cheapest 16GB Moto G 3rd Gen is £119.
Solid state memory takes a hit in performance once you fill it past a certain percentage, its another reason not to get 8GB device.
Marshmallows adoptable storage is great until your SD card fails and you have to reset your phone.

The G3 actually only had a 13mp camera. Also, megapixels aren't a good measure of a camera's quality.
Admittedly though, the G3's camera was brilliant considering the price, and I have no idea whether the camera on this G4 Play is actually any better or not.

The Moto G4 Play (the handset in this deal) does have NFC, the normal G4 and G4 Plus do not feature NFC though, despite otherwise including better specs.

I think the Moto E3 Power (XT-1706) will be a better buy for around the same price (if it comes to the UK, already available in Hong Kong):
5" screen
1280 X 720
MediaTek MTK6735p
2GB RAM
16GB
3500 mAh battery

I have an 8gb moto G and just as a lunch time exercise, and because I'm curious I will look at the apps and size left in my HD. (and I'm just looking at my screens so I might miss some, but probably not)
Apps installed (marshmallow fyi)

flipboard,

Just eat
Nova
Tesco mobile
Google rewards,
whatsapp
then the usual stuff like google play store etc etc.
With that installed and marshmallow I have 1.39gb remaining. (the o/s takes up 3.46gb)
the above gives you an indication of what 8gb can hold. Ignoring the fact that marshmallow can allow you to use you memory card internal storage although I have not tried that so cant say how good it is.
8gb probably isn't big enough but its fine for some people and although I will go for bigger in my next phone, its not causing me any issues yet.

Yes, but you can only have all the features if you buy four separate models. Maybe that's what they are hoping for; split the best features across the line up in the hope that everybody will buy 4 smartphones instead of one.
I would have thought it should be cheaper for them just to manufacture one Moto G with all the best features, rather than manufacturing a bunch of crippled handsets.
I predict 16 different Moto G's for 2017, similar to Asus with its ridiculous ZenFone 2 line up.

If all Motorola Motos had NFC, removable battery, 2gb Ram, 16Gb internal, compass, decent camera they surely would have a winner.

No the Moto E3 should be out this month. It is almost identical to the Moto G4 Play, except it uses a Mediatek chipset and is limited to 8GB Storage.

Is this the replacement for the Moto E ??
or are they going to replace that as well to confuse things further?. Only 1GB ram is a let down

While I can sympathise with both of you (I've had my fair share of trouble with Vodafone), it isn't really relevant to this deal, which is from Carphone Warehouse and for people already using a Vodafone Pay As You Go SIM. Buying this wouldn't tie anybody into a contract with Vodafone.

Amazon list this as 2GB RAM, but I spotted a review on there from somebody that sent theirs back due to it only including 1GB.
I don't understand why the UK version is limited to 1GB RAM, while everywhere else in the world gets the 2GB RAM version. Odd decision from Lenovo.

This is more similar to the g3 than the proper g4, though less waterproof, at least the battery is bigger. Has NFC which is a step apart.
