I wish this had more than 1GB of RAM in it.... actually I just wish they did the 'normal' G4 in a 5" body.

vassy time to renew my old motorola :smiley:

nice find vassy, heat added :smiley:

Hi, just ordered one for my wife using posted the codes. They are still valid and in stock, got it for £89. Online chat confirmed the order is placed successfully.

nice find vassy, heat added :smiley:

Codes work for me. Good find. Heat added

had a bad experience with Motorola. in the two weeks ago I placed an order for this phone with the discount codes. paid via PayPal. but never got any order confirm from them only from PayPal. chased with motorola which took ages one day at a time email response as in India I believe I was getting the responses (responses are very bad and in poor english) for me to have to chase PayPal to try and get money back only to discover that Motorola cancelled the order.

No reason why, I believe it may have been down to me stacking the discount codes. However, this is only my point of view. Good deal if you can get it but check the order and emails for confirmation.

Excellent find Vassy. Heat added.

nice one :wink:

Not that this is a bad deal but is 1GB usable? I find with 2GB i am constantly struggling to hold more than 2 apps open at a time

1GB - what are they thinking? At least the price is dropping fast on this model

vassy time to renew my old motorola :smiley:

is this phone the best out there for around that price?

Good deal vassy :smiley:

i mean compared to other phones

Oh ok..

is there a return 30 policy or no. or any if you dont like the phone you can return it with in a time limit ? just asking

The codes work on all the phones on the website Moto G4 for £140 ish if one wants 2 GB RAM :smiley:

whats the differences if i pay with paypal or debit card?

with paypal can i return it?

You get free returns. So you can make use of it. You need to activate free returns first before buying using PayPal

does the phone have a return option with full refund?

HI do we know if the codes work on the G4 model?

Very slow delivery, it can take over two weeks to arrive.

Good deal but OP you posted this deal last week albeit with a third code making it even cheaper. For some reason that post was expired even though the two codes you have stated were still working. I know because I used them to get the phone for £89. Expecting delivery tomorrow.:man:

Any codes for the G4 plus?

Any codes for the G4 plus?

A lot of the phone for the money but be wary if you do need it quickly.

Ordered a G4 on 28th Nov with delivery estimated on 5th Dec. No sign on the 5th and no update since. Chased on their painfully slow Live Chat earlier today, was told the delay was due to high volume of orders. They gave me the Fedex tracking number which showed that my phone is currently in Memphis, USA. Been assured it will be here by Friday.

Reckon you should be alright if it's a Xmas gift though. Heat added.

​I had exactly the same experience last week. They placed my order 'on hold' and then cancelled it without telling me why. I thought buying direct would have been a better level of service- wrong.

on iPhones it perfectly usable, definitely not on android.

I received my one today, but will give it back and spend £620 more in a iphone 7

I placed an order for G4 and it said I will get it on 7th December and I received it on the 6th :smiley:

Any G4 plus codes?

is it unlocked ?

Same codes work with it.. Give a shot

Yes it comes unlocked. I ordered few months back moto g4 dual sim and received unlocked. Hope it helps.

thanks. how is the phone anyway?

I would say its overall good phone. Never felt laggy or slower.

I would say its overall good phone. Never felt laggy or slower.

Have you used google search before?? All the answers for your questions could be found there.

This is a bit over hot in my opinion.

How good is the camera

One cold vote won't change much :stuck_out_tongue:

camera isn't as good as a DSLR but its ok for £89.. :innocent:

I didn't vote cold. It's an OK deal. Not one to be on course for 1000 heat though. In my humble opinion of course.

used these codes on a moto g4, came to £139. expected delivery was in a week but it never arrived, got on to motorola live chat with an indian based centre who tracked it. it will be nearly two weeks before it arrives as they had large orders.
not only this but motorola ship their phones from china thats why the long delivery.
if id known it was getting shipped from china i would not have bothered and id of used bangood or gearbest instead and bought a chinese phone

Really don't get why this gets the heat it does. It's only 1gb ram

May be for the other specs apart from RAM + price :smirk:

Yeah I know it'll get updates etc but unless your not a big user then 1gb ram won't get u far the phone will be slow. And to be fair u can get 2gb ram phones cheaper than this so......
I'm guessing update Android system is the the only reason

How much RAM ? 64MB ?

You must be quite young. I remember my first PC had 384KB - yes Kilobytes - of RAM. In those days the maximum useable was 640KB, but you could run an bit extra in Extended or Expanded mode up to a max of 1024K, ie 1MB or RAM.

Oh, and it had a 20MB hard drive.

So 2GB is sheer luxury ...

Oh, them were the days

Wish the codes worked this well for the Moto Z. A whopping £9 off a £400 phone!

Ordered one last week for £79 and it arrived today, thanks OP you saved me £50. :wink:

:smiley:

1280*720 :confused:

Unable to see how much it brings plus down to as it is out of stock

black still in stock

Careful as I bought the day after cyber Monday at £79 but won't be delivered until 13th December

Ordered 28th Nov, arrived yesterday, so really not that bad, I think some people are just way too impatient these days.

Yeah you'd really expect 4K as minimum on a high end phone like this :smile:

+ old low-mid level processor

Not sure if you guys expecting Snapdragon 821 or Apple A10 processor for this price..

I'm not sure I done this right... I ordered the g4 2gb with the codes applied and it came out to £189 with the codes applied.. what have I done wrong?

Hot Deal, I still have a white G2, one word of advice in my opinion, never update android or any Motorola service. They seem to make the phone gradually worse and prevent certain apps from working, Planned obsolescence I guess.
(I more or less follow this rule for everything I use, if it ain't broke then don't fix it)

And on Windows Phone, too!

You can disable all those services

thanks

Ordered, money taken, got an order code from the site, but despite their claims I'd get an email confirmation, nothing arrived. Is that normal?

yep old beat up processor made by schaumburg burb company. same o story all day long.

would this get delivered before Christmas and do they allow an different delivery address?

I'm still waiting for mine that I ordered on cyber monday. I sent them an email & they said it has been shipped. I'll give them until the end of the week until I get in touch again.

That's entirely due to the high amount of orders when price was further reduced with the third code.

surely can't be long until the 2gb version is reduced?

I have the standard G4 and i love it, Moto G series phones are brilliant and im sold as a future customer :-) this is a great deal

good deal

oos

Would jump if there
Can't see a 2GB version on their site. Is it available in the UK?

Seems like a great deal! Million Dollar question though; is this the best spec for the £££ around at the moment? Discounting the Chinese brands obviously :smile:

Heat OP!

Ordered last time, (29.11) so far, nothing arrived :disappointed: very poor moto service.

The one I ordered on the other thread took 8 days from order to delivery. Once dispatched you can contact Moto on live chat and they'll provide a tracking number for you to use, I'm guessing they send them all via the same shipper, in which case it'll be a Fedex number.

No. You get NFC instead.

Argos seem to be selling a 2GB version unless it's a mistake.

Technical specifications:
1.2GHz quad core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor.
2GB RAM.
Operating system: Android android 6.0 (m).

http://www.argos.co.uk/product/5762659

Huawei P9 Lite from EE for £130 is way better than this 1080 x 1920 and 3GB Ram

Even basic apps are very RAM hungry these days. 1GB should be enough for well-optimised apps but most aren't.

Searching for the EAN on Argos returns sites listing it with 1Gb.

I also like Motorola G phones but they have some very strange and annoying omissions! The "normal" G4 and G3 do not have either of NFC (for AndroidPay) or a magnetic compass (useful for many mapping apps).

The G4 Play does have NFC I believe.....not sure about compass!

It is now £170.

I ordered one of these phones. Told it would arrive by 6/12. Still waiting - now expected 13/12.
They are shipping from China
Hope this helps someone!

I looked at this deal last time it was posted, there was an additional £10 off last time .... TopCashBack code of MOG10.... but that has stopped working

I eneded up purchasing the same handset from Very.co.uk.... they are doing it for £119.99, in black and I had a £30 off £60 spend code, which took the price down to £90, plus its on 6 months interest free credit, so making it £15 / month.......

Anyway getting back to my point... in the comments from recent people who had purchased it, someone stated it was 2GB RAM.... apparently there is a 8GB version and a 16GB version, the 8 is 1GB Ram and the 16GB is 2GB Ram

http://www.very.co.uk/motorola-g4-play/1600128047.prd?_requestid=100357

Happy Shopping folks :smiley:

Nice find, heat added!

Even at £130 it's still a fair bit more expensive than the Moto. I wouldn't buy the Moto at £130

The UK version has different specifications, 16Gb removes 1Gb RAM but adds NFC. The MPN (SM4402AE7B1) that Very specifies matches the 1Gb RAM UK version. Check the amount of memory on the phone itself.

Has anyone that received it opened it up to confirm the amount of RAM?

I'm still waiting on my 6th Dec delivery ...

Im just going by the comments from people who have purchased it from Very and left comments on that page :smiley:

Well I ordered one for the Mrs yesterday, should arrive today or tommorrow, will comment after checking :smiley:

Oos

I have ordered two of these:
http://www.ebuyer.com/660809-asus-zenfone-5-lte-16gb-smartphone-red-a500kl-2c090ww

Bought one of these for my mum to replace her failing Nexus 5.
Yes, a downgrade in performance and screen, but the 5 was dying and wouldn't make it through a day on a charge (relatively new battery, too).
This little beauty goes for 2-3 days... it's standby is great and more than nippy enough for light usage (Gmail, WhatsApp, Facebook and Chrome).

It does the job well for a £90 phone.
If it's not suitable for you - don't buy it!
But suits my mum perfectly :wink:

KitKat!!! HAHA.
Seriously, why would you?

Just had my phone delivered this morning.Bought it when the £79 Offer was posted .

I can upgrade the OS from KitKat and it has 2G of ram, that's why

Poor analogy, we need more RAM these days because software does more.

Can you confirm how much RAM it has ?

720p on a phone costing £130?

People have mentioned its 1GB previously

I am yet to power the phone because the back cover came with few scratches . I just got in touch with their Customers Services and they asked for images which were sent to them.

Looks good, but needs a screen protector (which I've never bothered with before) and has EMUI which 99% of people say is terrible.

Glad you posted this - just beat me to it. I'm in the same boat. Has an e-mail stating delivery 6th December, when I queried it with Motorola, they gave me a FedEx tracking number. My delivery has been put back a week!!! You may get before Christmas if ordered now but I wouldn't bank on it!!!

same here - mines been put back to 13th

Ordered a G4 on Black Friday with the stacked discount codes + a free bamboo back & engraving, and it turned up within estimate - this Tuesday. May have just got lucky

Both out of stock now, - heat added though.

If only it was £130.00! - show me a link because I cannot find less than £159 anywhere!

'All-day 2800 mAh battery' - cold from me

great price vassy4u

OOS

Codes work but a little tentertive about ordering with all the cancelled orders.

Ordered it last time and was promised delivery on 6 Dec but FedEx says 13th December despite package being at Stansted which is 1.5 hours away according to Google maps.

Bar people arguing the whole 1gb or 2gb ram thing, is this phone actually any good??

Got caught up in the euphoria last time and ordered it for my 8yr old as he takes coach to school and back so useful for him letting me know he is delayed etc.

As long as you can play a few games on it and whatsapp - thats all he really needs, plus a decent battery life!

1GB is a joke. I had a 1GB phone 5 years ago and it struggled, I'm no gamer. it's non-sense for any manufacturers to load a phone with low ram when we're heading towards 2017. IMO 3GB is a minimum if you want your phone to easily last another 2 years.

Mine said 12th Dec when it arrived @ Stansted on the 6th, it arrived on the 7th. So expect it tomorrow...

Depends what you're doing with it. Most of the time developers just write **** code which takes up way more memory than required.

*develops apps for a career.

Black version is still in stock.

black now out of stock

1GB of RAM lol

Android has always needed a minimum of 2GB to run smoothly. It's why it was at such a disadvantage in it's early years compared to iOS, when putting that much RAM in a phone was very expensive.

These days there's no excuse. Avoid.

Available @ 6.36pm

​Mine now says it's due to arrive on the 13th December, so we'll see. I ordered it on cyber monday.

​Must have been a 286? I had a very similar PC I used to use in work in 1991. It had a 40Mb hard drive so I was spoilt. Had a cloxk speed of 8Mhz!! Now we have 500 times that amount. Remember when we had the first pentium pc which had a clock speed of 90Mhz.

I gave the missus a 2nd gen Moto G and it's slow!!! 70% RAM is always in use :disappointed:
And that 1GB was actually 890MB or something.

My first Windows 95 PC was a
Intel Inside i386
133MHz FSB
16MB RAM
20MB Hard drive

I had lots of fun using Drivespace to double the size of that damn hard drive. It backfired and was slower than before!!!

OOS

I'd pay a few extra bob and get a Xiaomi Redmi 4. Excellent phone.

1GB of RAM, same as the first Moto G 4 years ago. Imho this is pointless to buy new.

Hope this makes you feel better IMHO :smirk:

Both crap. Just spend that little extra and get a proper G4 for £150.

Great phone for the money and should last a good two years rather than buying this junk and having buyers remorse after a few weeks.

Model ? seller ? looking for one, but cant decide between the 3 on offer at the moment.

Aesthetically they were, yes. :-)

But internally, nah!, they weren't, no ..... :-(

Lol.

Just tried to order but it is showing as out of stock, though the codes did work and it showed a reduced price of £89!

Agreed, basic is camera, gallery, sms, call, browser and of course hukd and I think you still need a memory management app! I think I would only buy it for someone who can just about use it as a phone and send the odd text. Don't kid yourselves, 1GB phones are *that* bad!

Ok the jury is still out for as to whether i return this phone / sell on ebay. Funnily enough i am replacing my wifes moto g 1st gen with this, that is painfully slow now but it is 3 years old!. My windows phone has 1GB and it runs fine. However I appreciate that's windows and not Android. What other Android phones at around at £100 would be better?

I have a 1gb RAM phone the Moto g3 heavy user. Built in Memory management means you can't use multi tasking properly as it will most times close the back ground app. It's useable but wish I had 2gb. The biggest pain the balls is the 8gb of internal memory.

If you can stretch to £120 a Wileyfox Swift 2 would no doubt serve you well: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wileyfox-Swift-Smartphone-Screen-Replacement/dp/B01M690EJX/ref=lp_11987389031_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1481271265&sr=1-2

Has 2Gb RAM, NFC & a fingerprint reader (good for android pay) and a decent version of Android, that is updatable (not some hacked together chinese version)

Here's a link to back up my case: http://www.trustedreviews.com/opinions/how-much-ram-does-a-phone-need

A few quotes:

Very limited RAM is often the cause of rudimentary performance problems in cheap Android phones too. A lot of phones with 1GB RAM make a real mess of Android 5.1 and Android 6.0, their memory management unable to keep up with demand.

When the Motorola Moto G was upgraded from Android 4.4 to Android 5.0, its performance went through the floor for a while, for example.

For a bit of wider context, as I write this Facebook is using 480MB RAM on my phone.

Why are people comparing the phone to their own usage. I purchased this phone for my dad who doesn't use facebook twitter etc or even play games. This was an ideal spec phone for him at this price.

My wife uses FB regularly, other than that she uses the internet from time to time and one or two other apps. It it weren't for her using FB, I happy, however this appears to RAM hungry!

WOW!, this expired quick ...

.....white now in stock and codes still valid

So people like you buying it for a relative will know it's suitable for light users.

Are the codes just for this phone ?

White back in stock to order.

Have just ordered as was out of stock again since last post but now in again.

Crank up the heat :sunglasses: thanks OP. Been looking for a good budget phone for the wife who is struggling along with a hand-me-down HTC One M7. Ordered, due for delivery next week

Enjoy :smiley:

Delivery next week, thought it was longer ?

When I enter the 2 codes it says out of stock but if I only enter 1 code it lets me continue. Does anyone else have this problem?

****, out of stock on both colours now. Shame missed the deal!
Nice find though op..... :disappointed:

keep an eye out here. Will update when back in Stock.

Really nice phone and wouldn't worry about the 1gb much imo for general use

Thanks Vassy, I do hope they get some more stock. This would be ideal for my Mum at Xmas. :wink:
Update!!! Just managed to order the white, with an order number, but no Email confirmation. Blimey This feels like the Dell Black Friday all over again.... LOL :stuck_out_tongue:
Thank you again Vassy for the find, will have a happy mum on Xmas she still using an old S2 so this will be great. :stuck_out_tongue:

I ordered this phone from the Motorola site using the codes on 1st Dec. Still not arrived. Online chat support confirmed that delivery could be few weeks as they are dispatched from China.

I ordered just before you, both codes came off.

Happy to hear buddy :smiley:

Really nice phone

I'm considering the G4 Play for my daughter and £89 is a good price but the 1GB of RAM is a concern, so I installed 'RAM Meter' on my 4 year-old Nexus 4 (2GB RAM / Android 5.1.1) and was surprised to discover that around 800MB of it's 2GB RAM is used when no apps are open. Opening half a dozen apps (Facebook, WhatsApp, Google Photos etc) increases this to around 1.1GB in use however the phone still works smoothly, presumably because of the extra capacity. I'm guessing this is the point at which a phone with 1GB RAM would start to struggle ?

Can anyone who owns the phone give any insight on this ? Neither myself nor my daughter are serious mobile gamers, but the ability to open numerous apps like the ones I mentioned above and flick smoothly between them without the phone starting to stutter or judder would be an important factor in choosing the right phone to buy.

I appreciate that different phones and different versions of Android will give differing results so this was only intended as a rough exercise for me to try and understand smartphone RAM a bit more.

I'd buy her a G4 if it's 5.5" screen didn't make it so damn big !

For info - at the time of writing, both the black and white G4 Plays are out of stock on the Motorola website and the KENSMOTO £30-off code expires today, so you'll have to keep checking and keep your fingers crossed if you want one !

Thanks for letting know. People make use of this code for any other phone. :smiley:

It's a shame they're OOS as I'm half-tempted to bite at £89, despite the RAM concerns... the chances of it getting dropped by my daughter at some point are fairly high so I'd rather not spend too much more... :laughing:

...plus it looks a lot less attractive at the full RRP and even at £115 (Amazon)

Amazon one has 2GB ram by all accounts https://www.amazon.co.uk/Motorola-Moto-Play-SIM-Free-Smartphone/dp/B01IF51GHW/ref=sr_1_2?s=telephone&ie=UTF8&qid=1481487857&sr=1-2

All the models are bundled together in the reviews. Ones describing the G4 Play refer to 1Gb.

Thanks unsure whether to go for this one or the P8 lite/ Samsung J3

Ordered this a couple of weeksago, when it was possible to get it for £79 with codes. Took a week to arrive after the despatch date; seems to come from China, via Japan, Germany and France ! Great deal, I've never spent more than £100 on a phone before and never intend to. All this cobblers about 1GB Ram being enough, depends on what you do with the phone - i don't game or do social media; currently have 1gb on my first generation moto g and that seems to be more than enough. Wouldn't be swapping that if the internal (non-removable) battery wasn't dying... Thankfully the one on this is removable.

It's a shame they upped the screen on the G4 to 5.5 inches, and crippled the 5 inch model with only 1GB ram. They have lost part of their user base who preferred the smaller screen size.
You will struggle with only 1GB ram, my G2 frequently freezes when switching apps, and I often return to a recently used app to find it has been unloaded from memory, eg: Facebook, so the message I was half way through typing has been lost. Chrome is very laggy, the keyboard often freezes and it takes a few seconds before the text appears on screen. Also following recent updates I can no longer have Google Music and Google Maps open at the same time while driving as they both constantly freeze and stutter, which is annoying on long car journeys. And if you're wondering why your phone randomly freezes every minute or so - it's the Facebook checking for updates in the background, and you can't turn it off (without rooting the phone and invalidating your warranty). Just a few examples.

If you don't have any social media apps or games installed then yes, it'll probably be fine. But I think you'll find you're in the minority there.

The "Unused RAM is wasted RAM" section in this article gives an insight (and loads of other pointers on the internet too)
http://www.androidcentral.com/ram-what-it-how-its-used-and-why-you-shouldnt-care

If you had a phone with 6Gb RAM probably about 2.5 - 3.5Gb would be used in the same scenario.
Nevertheless, more RAM is better but have no experience with Android 6 handsets with 1Gb RAM so no idea if those stutter...

I certainly be interested to hear from anyone who has a G4 play and how much ram they free when Facebook and a browser session is open?

More ram is better, but to be honest its badly made apps using too much ram that drive up the necessity of more ram.
Unless your a hard core gamer, 1GB ram is fine for everyday use for browsing, social media, etc.
As an app developer I ordered this as the android nougat update is due this month and if my developed apps work on this phone they will work on pretty much any handset.

I got this deal when it was on the £79 pound deal. Only got delivered today! However, very happy with it.

Thanks TrebleR that's a very useful post. I think I will stop looking now for an alternative which what I have sort of been doing for the past few days.

I have no games installed and 1GB ram is getting frustrating. I've had to install Metal as Facebook slows my phone to a crawl.
My point exactly.

Anyone know the chances this will be back in stock anytime soon?

You will just have to keep checking every few hours, might be worth clearing your cache before checking also.

Last night i checked on a whim and the white version was in stock out of luck

good luck!

Now that the KENSMOTO code has expired, the cheapest place to get the G4 Play is Amazon, at around £115.

Hi, just ordered one for my wife using posted the codes. They are still valid and in stock, got it for £89. Online chat confirmed the order is placed successfully.

Nice one ! The 'Ken's Tech Tips' site (that the codes originate from) stated that the codes expired on Sunday 11th and have now removed them from the relevent page on their own site, but the Motorola site must still be accepting them - this deal needs un-expiring ! :laughing:

What's the verdict on delivery before Christmas Day, out of interest ?

Black and white in stock and codes do work. :smiley:

Hi, it said delivery before 20th Decemeber. But, the last one i got when the £79 pound deal was on only got delivered yesterday and i ordered that on the 29th November. So its 50/50 on whether i get it by christmas!

Thanks Pal :smiley:

[/quote]
Thanks for the heads up. It said delivery by 20th for me too. As it's for my 10 year old son it better had be, otherwise I'll be sending it back.

Don't know much about the phone but I hope it will be okay. Would have preferred a Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 as been really happy with mine for the past 12 months. Unfortunately this has now been replaced with the Ultra 7 with a hefty increase to £135.

KENSMOTO doesn't seem to be working now?

Ignore me. It still seems ok.

Did you get an email of your order confirmation. Nothing so far apart from Paypal.

Thanks

No confirmation. The livechat person said it would come 24/48 hours once order hits fulfilment. Same thing happened last time, so i am sure it will be ok.

Thanks for the heads up on the restock. Just ordered one and both codes working for £89

Just got one of restocked phones! :sunglasses:

Just bought one now. Ideal present for someone who wants a big touchscreen phone but doesn't actually use any features. Just out of curiosity, was the first batch 8Gb or 16Gb, and was it 1Gb ram or 2Gb ram model?

Did anyone get an order confirmation e-mail? I got my order number on the site (which I've saved) but no e-mail sent through from Motorola.

Edit: E-mail confirmation received this morning! Order complete, just waiting for transit!

These are all 16GB storage and 1GB RAM. There is no version with 8GB storage (despite what some spec sites quote), and the 16GB with 2GB RAM is only available outside of the UK.

Just ordered for son - £89 with email confirmation :sunglasses:

Ordered and received email confirmation. Present sorted for my mum. Thanks Op

Nice one. Ordered

Email confirmation means nothing. Don't expect this before Christmas, not to dampen anyone's spirits that bought for present but ordered 14 days ago with confirmation same day. 3 days ago received the shipping email saying its been dispatched, still not here.

Does this phone has got compass, for google maps etc??

Please some one confirm this?

Thanks in advance

No, it doesn't have a compass. It has GPS so you can still use Google Maps, but it won't know which way you're facing.

KENSMOTO no longer working

Just ordered 2 and they both went through fine.

​Will do! Cheers! :laughing:

Great find. Heat added thanks :smiley:

Thank you

Ok just arrived - 16 days later.

Has anyone had this phone delivered yet? If so how long did it take? I ordered one yesterday exp delivery is 22/12/2016 its cutting it close and its an xmas present for my son!

Right just checked my e-mail and at 12.28am got a dispatched e-mail. So within a day of ordering got a dispatched e mail. Anyone had this and still been over a week for it to arrive? I need before xmas or its going back

ordered mine on the 28th Nov, shipped on 30th and arrived on the 6th Dec.

Got my dispatch email on the 14th and is due for delivery on 20th, However these are shipped from Wuhan in China then to SHANGHAI then onto NARITA (Japan) then to CHARLES DE GAULLE (France) and then flew into STANSTED (UK) last night.
You can track your order through FedEx once you have the Tracking number, I never received mine so asked through Live Chat using my order number from my dispatched Email...
Hope that helps a little....:stuck_out_tongue:

In the same boat with the two I've ordered. I am hoping they arrive at expected delivery date of the 22 nd. Won't be sending back though but would be gutted.

Hi, anyone know how long these take to arrive after order?

I ordered on the 13th with expected delivery 20th. Have just received the invoice which contains the tracking number.

FedEx site still quoting 20th.

the g4 play specifications look very similar to the older moto g3.. guess it's a good way for them to move the old components

I hope you all get your phones on time and there are no problems with them. I bought a G4 when they first came out. I ordered it direct from Motorola. I've had problems with it since it was 3 months old. It's been 'repaired' twice to no avail. Motorola are now refusing to give me a refund, in contravention of the Consumer Rights Act, 2015. Customer service is abysmal. It takes ages to get through on the phone and they take several days to reply to emails, usually with an unsatisfactory reply.

If they tell you to send it in for repair it takes them at least 3 days to email you the label, which you have to print yourself. Then you have to take a day off for the phone to be collected and another day for them to return it to you. Alternatively you can drive to the depot (30 mile round trip for me) or post it via Royal Mail at your own expense.

I now have a useless phone and have made a claim with Barclaycard under Section 75.

Waste of money if you are looking for a phone with very good camera.
Cold for me.

OOS

If you want a phone with a 'very good camera' then you should be spending very good money, not £89.
For the money, this is a very good entry level phone

It's just a warning not to expect much on this phone. Better spend another £70 and get the Moto G4 Plus.

Almost 2000 degrees for a 1GB/8GB phone in 2016/17?

The phone is already obsolete

People on here don't have a clue what they're voting on

COLD

Received my phone today, but the box was all damaged , both the outside and the motorol box, and it was a christmas pressie! Not too impressed.

Just had my one delivered ,I ordered the phone on the 12/12/16,And what a fantastic deal for a phone that I only need for the wife who just needs it for phone calls texting and using wifi in and around the house.And its a 16 gb MOTOROLA,XT1604,RETAIL,WHT,GB,16GB,SS

OOS I need a phone. I had the "boot loop" issue with an LG G4 and they won't replace. Can't really afford more than this and its just gone out out stock.

Any recommendations on a phone?

Wont be long for it to be on stock again.

You could have bought a better phone with twice the memory and storage for the same price....

​Links please?

I'm very happy with this phone for my wife who doesn't know or cares about speed memory storage ,As I said I just wanted a basic phone for my wife to use and I am very happy with my Moto play.

Nothing special about the price.

Is this the dual SIM version?

Good price but just 1 gig is a deal breaker

Both colours in stock

OOS

Both came today. Thanks OP!

On Amazon, many customers are saying the white Moto G4 Play is dual sim - does this hold true for the white phone in this deal too?

oos for others saying this isnt a good deal. what should I buy ?

Guys, I bought this phone 4 weeks ago. Literally gave it to my mum as a present.
Does it lag to anyone else? It s literally freezing. You press "backwards" button and it wont do anything. Just does nothing when u press the screen then in a while come up with multiple things that ve been pressed.

What the hek?

No lag on my wifes phone,Very happy with it, its good for what she want's it for.
