price dropped today, I've been watching a few phones recently.
edit: to avoid confusion, this is 2gb ram and 16gb internal memory blah blah
edit: also available for same price at Very but with 10% new account discount. credit vassy4u - check their thread for details
edit: also on Prime Now, I should have used that!!! Credit Argosextra
I've bought from Amazon, partly because I'd pulled the trigger before I was aware of the other deal but mainly because I find Amazon easy to deal with and I'm lazy, especially at Christmas

I don't think they match internet only retailers.
I bought this last week from JL and get them to match laptops direct (whichvi naturally assumed were online only.)
Edit - found this on the JL website
We have shops, call centres and a website giving you flexibility in how and when you buy from us. The level of service we offer can't therefore be equalled by online or mail-order only retailers such as Amazon or Play.com - and it's for this reason we don't match their prices. There are also some fitting and installation service conditions we take into account when we look at a price match - see below for details.

Voted hot bc think that's the cheapest it has been and available to everyone. I. Know it's been this price as cpw payg upgrade for a while but as I say this is available to everyone.
I know it's "stock android" and guaranteed nougat think that's why it's good and liked. Those are the only reasons I can see people like it so much seeing as there are various other same spec phones for less
On the other hand little more and you could get 3gb ram phone

Heat, just wish there was a straight answer on the whole compass debacle;
Still waiting for a Moto G3 to come back at this price in the warehouse. I prefer the G3 as it has the front speaker and is also waterproof. 2 things they took away from the g4
paulandpam1 to K0YS
23 Dec 16#13
Believe me it ain't waterproof, my wife found out the hard way after dropping hers in a mop bucket. I would only consider it water resistant.

Note:The device comes with 1GB of internal RAM. (Is it a Typo)
No it's not. I assumed 1gb was a mistake and was about to buy this but just read reviews. Here's just one of many.
've had this mobile for three months and it's excellent. BUT, this version with just 1Gb of main memory is NOT the usual 2Gb version but is priced as if it was. I am VERY VERY surprised at Amazon selling this "rogue" version ...

Not as good, p9 has 3gb ram, feels much quicker and responsive.

Since when was there a 1gb version of the g4 that's not the play.... Strange
mart321
23 Dec 162#29
Better off getting the huawei p9 lite deal at ee for £139.99, the phone has 3gb ram and trounces the g4 in my humble opinion. Much more responsive

Does p9 lite have full compass?

Amazon lists all the G4 variants on one page so the reviews are mixed. Pay attention to the "style" in the review.
I love my moto G4
For once a purchase I'm really pleased about.

I have the white version of this phone and it is definitely 2gb. The only difference I thought there was with the white and black versions was the dual sim slot on the white version.
klemo
23 Dec 161#36
No it's 2GB. Amazon have lumped the reviews for G4 Play, G4 and G4 Plus altogether.
MBeeching
23 Dec 16#37
G4 has 2gb RAM, the Play edition has 1gb. Having so many variations of a phone under one listing is guaranteed to cause confusion (Congratulations Amazon, your success is thoroughly deserved!).
Decent phone, pleased with mine and would recommend at £130.
mart321
23 Dec 161#38
No idea have to check google, I noticed there is a compass app built in on the phone if that helps?
Scrungee
23 Dec 16#39
Only the white from Amazon is dual sim, but all colours from Motomaker are dual sim.
In Amazon's Q&A it's stated that it's supplied with a standard charger, whilst the one I bought from Motomaker was supplied with a turbo charger.
P.S. Got mine from Motomaker (Black Friday for £133.10) and I'm very happy with it, just hope it lasts longer than my Moto G 2nd gen that was starting to change settings all by itself plus battery charging/life was also going haywire,

Why didnt all of you just buy Zuk Z2 for £138? That phone is like a bentley to vauxhall astra, compared with this phone.

These may be reviews for the G4 Play, which is available with 2gb in other countries and so is reported as that on many spec lists, but only sold in 1gb here

i nearly bought the lite this morning but ee shop let me down. the lite has a good spec and when it was cheaper than this it was a no brainer, now it's a trade off on spec. reckon gorrilla glass is more important to me than an extra 1gb ram but it's a personal choice

I agree, the P9 Lite is a far superior phone in every way. The only downside is that it doesn't have a gyroscope whereas the Moto G4 has.

Definitely not rain proof at least, tested my Moto G3 in a rain shower and it didn't work afterwards. Although the screen had already been repaired by Tesco, and I was dubious they replaced it with the original Motorola one.
Good price for the Moto G4 though - heat from me.

I bought the Moto G4 dual SIM a few months ago and it has performed very well. Motorola updated Android to 6.0.1 and issued a July security update so well supported. I know some users have reported ghost touch on the screen especially when charging. I did have a problem with ghost touching which developed over time. I found that it went away when I removed the phone from my wallet type case. It may have been a combination of moisture from screen cleaner, contamination, and the plastic case material affecting the edges of the touch screen. May not work in all cases but solved my problem.

23 Dec 16#82
I also challenge anyone to show the P9 Lite as a comparable deal. You can play the "superior but more expensive" game all day every day.
For the sake of £20 i'd get the p9 lite, 3 yr guarantee, 3 months cracked screen cover and other stuff i can't remember right now, brilliant phone.

23 Dec 16#86
I got the G4 Plus for 150 a month ago and I'm very impressed with it. Compared it side to side with my friends S7 and the G4 Plus had a clearer screen, better speaker sound, quicker response, just overall wiped the floor with a phone 200 quid dearer.
Of course we must factor in that my G4 was brand new and he'd had his S7 a while. But still, he sure had a look of regret on his face.
mart321
23 Dec 16#87
Yea but it's only £20 more and is more comparable with the full blown Motorola g4 plus, which is like £180 or something cheapest at the moment? Id still take the p9 lite over that aswell

23 Dec 16#88

meh, google moto g "ghost touch". My last two android phones had this problem, one was a Lenovo 5.5" screen one and the other a Vodafone Ultra Smart 7 again 5.5 inch. The lenovo was perfect for about 8 months then started doing it, became almost unusable and Lenovo support were impossible. Moto is owned by Lenovo now so I'm staying well away from any android 5.5" screen as I believe most if not all have the same common faults due to the internal components manufactured from the same company in China. This is a shame as I have previously owned Moto G 1st gen which was amazing for it's time and lasted 3 years.

Motorola are very slow at security patch updates. Hopefully a Lineage build will be available soon.
Would avoid the p9 lite, no updates and the parent company tends to abandon phones, Google honor 7. P9 lite cpu will not support 3rd party roms just like mediatek cpus, as both companies don't release cpu code etc. Stick to snap dragon cpus if you want to mod later, the moto g has one

Moto G4 was pitted against Iphone5? in old vs new tech on the Gadget show a couple weeks back. Ortis had real problems navigation on foot with the Moto G4, a couple times he was walking in completely the wrong direction! so one to avoid if your wanting to use Viewranger or some kind of navigation software that relies on Compass/Gyro.

The G4 also has a front facing speaker. It's on the ear piece.

The Moto G4 can be turbocharged but only comes with the standard charger unfortunately, so does take many hours to fully charge - it's definitely a phone you'll want to charge overnight !
The official turbocharger can be bought for around £30 but if you go down that route, you might as well get a G4 Plus which has a better camera and a few extra features, plus comes with a turbocharger and only costs around £30-35 more.
