An old thread with this code on has been marked expired, but as of right now the code UKCRM162 still works to give £34 off the RRP of £209, making the phone £175.
Still a good deal for a decent phone. Best price I can find at present.
5.5 inch phone
Full HD screen (403 ppi)
Qualcomm MSM8939 Snapdragon 615 (octa core)
MEMORY Card slot microSD, up to 256 GB (dedicated slot)
2GB RAM
16GB Internal storage
21mp camera f/2.0 phase detection autofocus, dual-LED (dual tone) flash
3630 mAh battery (very big for this type of phone)

Out of interest, why is there so much interest in dual sim - how do people use this? Texts/calls on one, and internet on other? Or is this for travellers?
thanks

I think this one is a single sim. Check the website.

Motorola have never officially sold the dual SIM Moto X Play into the UK market, only the european (exluding the UK), asia and south american markets have had the dual sim as an option on this model.
If you're considering getting the Moto G4 Plus but want the compass and NFC, then this is a great alternative as it has compass, NFC and in some ways it's slightly better build and a slightly smaller chassis size even though both are the same screen size.

Its only the white 16GB that is out of stock, as already stated above.
I would put it above the G4, plenty of comparisons between this and the G4 Plus on Youtube.

How does the camera on this fair compared to the Sony Z3 / Z5 compact?

I live in Vietnam. The fixed internet is dire and very expensive so I do everything off 3G. when I come to the UK twice a year I use a 12GB/12 months 3 sim but I also need another sim for texts and voice. basically anyone on pay as you go who uses a lot of data will need a dual sim phone wherever they go as they will need one data onlybsim and one for voice and texts.

I use mine to save me having a work phone and my personal phone on me. One phone has both my work SIM and personal SIM in it.

Some people may have to have 2 sims- work and personal, and it's easier to carry 1 rather than 2 phones then.

Feel its time to upgrade my LG G2, but not keep up to date on phone spec's would this be much of an improvement please?
TwistedNerve to mrfun1981

do a master reset, buy a new case, plus put a different launcher on your G2 if you want a new phone... you will find yours is waaaay better than this phone, because the G2 is one of the best phones ever (as you know!)

dosnt have gyro so you can't use VR or cardboard major downer

Can't decide between this or the Moto G4 ... 50 quid difference in it from a price perspective.

good phone its more premium that moto g4 with better camera battery build quality and screen is fantastic but performance won't be improved over moto g4 not that you will notice

Good point - but for some people, the work phone needs locking down. But I get the idea. Thanks.

I picked up this phone a few months ago, it is quite a chunky **** to me, I never carry it around as my main phone (stick with my s5 and z3 compact).
However it is great as a media device with a very nice screen and very loud front speaker and rather good battery.

Had this phone on release - great screen, decent battery life. Only the camera - though adequate - didn't quite cut the mustard for me. A steal at this price.

How is this compared to the Moto G4
DocRobotnik to TRAMP_K1LL3R
4 Sep 16#36
Better than the g4, but worse camera than the g4 plus. And 2gb ram, so depends on the version of g4 plus you compare it too.
It has got a great battery, and is better looking than the g4 too.

My wife has this phone. The build quality is weak, but stick it in a Tudia case and it's as good as any other smartphone. The battery life is excellent and the camera is a 20mp Sony which takes better pictures than my compact.
Oobie to breslau

I tend to agree. The bezel frame is prone to cracking and the paint on it is weak - had mine for just under 12 months and the paint by the USB port has chipped away and ive lost a miniscule part of the frame from wear and tear.
Whack it in a case.
At Low light it does suffer, and its focus struggles too in those conditions. Pictures arent super grainy but you know you're in low light and the LED flash tends to over expose (shutter closing at the wrong time, perhaps)

Have you ever tried a different camera app, one that gives you more control over its settings.
Thx, so in terms of processing power, the moto x play has the upper hand
Despite the camera (which I don't use that much), I think I would buy this phone XD

How is this good value when it uses the same chipset as a Vodafone SU6 and the Huawei Honor 5x?
DocRobotnik to Spark
27 Oct 161#53
because there is more to a phone than its chipset?
