:heart_eyes: Very Hot!

estimated delivery 24th of march. hot but **** Motorola delivery system, almost worth £50 extra for same day delivery with Amazon over 7 day delivery with Motorola

this is gonna get ridiculously hot

Great deal, better than the John Lewis one with the sound boost included!

Certainly a good price - the small battery is the thing that puts me off.

Is this complete with a 2 year warranty?

battery life on this phone is dire

​12 months limited warranty from Motorola. if we were EU they get 24 months, rule Britannia!

Not working showing as £499

Add the code at the bottom of the Cart before proceeding to checkout. I missed first time.

Not working showing as £499

​2700m it's pretty small but people get a days uses out of it. i thought about buying this and the battery add-on, then it's 5700 ma two days battery

​did you use the promo code?!

Not working showing as £499

Would one of those 15% off Unidays code work with this?

nice specs but shame about the non-removable Li-Ion 2600 mAh battery

Worth selling my oneplus 3 for this?

Tried the code?

​lol no only the screen is better

Poor battery life on these. Check the review before buying.

Always been an apple fan girl but this looks hot to me, just splurged £300 on it without really looking into it... OP I'm holding you responsible if it's rubbish! Haha

hot tempted

I bought one from JL deal, I am quite a heavy user and had no problems with battery. I had LGG4 prior to that, and that was poorer battery performance.

​Its a good phone but the battery isn't as good. Mods are good but i struggled to find any decent cases and found the rear marked really easy.

Yes Thanks just noticed that

Hi NeoTrix - Thanks for the deal, looking at the code MOTOZHOT - are HUKD are working with Motorola on this promotion?

Says applied but doesnt take 10% off

UKWELCOME10, just tried and doesn't change the final price for me......

It showed me the code as UKMOTOZHOT?

5.25% TopCashBack which works out to £15

£314.99 after code for me

Just noticed no 3.5mm headphone jack :\

Comes with an adapter, this phone is to thin for one.

Saying out of stock for me

Edit : Grey is OOS, gold in Stock

Edit2 : Grey back in stock !

Doesn't seem to work and also states £10 not 10%

Code worked £298.99 in checkout,wish I could afford .

If you want to see the durability of this phone have a look here :-
youtube.com/wat…DIw

The use of voucher will void the cashback won't it?

If you wait on the site for about 10 mins they put up a banner offering £10 off £70 spend if you don't leave.

Not for me. Just waiting to see if it tracked but i still got it for 298

Black all gone. White still in stock.

​code doesn't work in conjunction with this offer

Black back in stock............

Damn... Amazing deal :sunglasses:

I adore my Samsung Note 4. I use the S Pen a great deal, mainly for annotating PDFs but this does seem a great deal. Hmmmmm...

Damn, it was between ordering this and an Xiaomi Mi5s from Bang good. Anyone wish to comment how they compare please?

excellent find

Went through to see just in case it does track. Good luck

I'm in the same situation. Went for it. Should be able to get money back if you dont like it

sod it ordered one can sell if not like

Using this case with no problems. amazon.co.uk/gp/…c=1

Was gonna buy, but it has no headphone jack which I need. Pity.

I believe they supply a usc C to headphone converter in the pack. The only problem is that you cant charge the phone and use headphones at the same time I guess?

OK, just ordered one. I added the JBL speaker which comes up free, but I did not add the herringbone nylon ballistic case, does it come with the phone anyway?

yes

I didnt see it either. I assumed it will be in the box? Can anyone confirm?

Vote hot, very good price for the specs.and wondering why I havnt seen anyone on about Lenovo's bloatware stuff

Been hovering for a new phone for a while and was miffed to have missed the JL deal so jumped on this one. Excellent find.

It is a cover not a case for the back of the phone, on the phone now to Mororola

It should say on the right, after you added your phone. It doesn't show at final checkout though. Should be fine, nice little bonus at least :smile:

if this was z play would buy it in a heartbeat

This is in the box along with the phone. You also get a bumper as well.

Did anyone get confirmation email

It is included, I went through ordering process again and it is included.

Only from Paypal.

Did anyone get a confirmation email from Motorola? I'm still waiting on one :disappointed:

Thanks for confirming!

Same

Motorola have confirmed the back cover will come with the phone but it is not showing on the order details.

I also didn't get the confirmation email, paid from the card. Though on the website was a message that order was successful with order confirmation number :disappointed:

For those who paid by card be patient.
It will take about 10 mins to get an email.
You can then track your order online once they have accepted the order.

only if you're extremely impatient....

Ordered. Thanks OP. Awaiting my confirmation email too. Fingers crossed.

Good deal but as others have mentioned battery life isn't great. Struggled to get a day out of it (web browsing and messaging mainly). The battery mod makes it far too thick to be a solution really.

Moto Z had a fantastic screen (though whites had a yellow hue on mine) and nothing else at this price has this spec, so hot deal!

​Was tempted, but really want a phone that will last as least a whole day.

I've got a Galaxy S5 at the moment and have a couple of spare charged batteries and an extra battery charger as don't want to faff about with USB charging packs.

I have a note 4 with 2 extra batteries. Its served me well but at this price I have been tempted to give this a go

Adding heat. But can see the deal on tcb as well. So not really a glitch.

Got the JL one recently. Use the phone quite a bit during the day, no battery issues for me. Does get down to the 20%s occasionally, but never ran out.

I beg to differ. I have had excellent battery life with this phone. I can last the whole day without issue.

I concur, lasts all day for me. I have the battery extender and only have had to use it once and that was more to see it was working OK.

this is a better phone, the play has a better battery life, but spec is less on almost everything

come into the future and use bluetooth

Just read that you cannot Charge and listen on wired headphones at the same time. Why hasn't anyone made an adapter yet!? :neutral_face:

what bloatware, i thought they use a stock version of android, ill send it back if it's irrating.

Payment Error processing your order. Contact GoInterpay for more help. By email: [email protected]gointerpay.com or by phone: 1-855-220-6638

It's alomst stock. Just the minimum to get Moto Mods to work.

Edit: Also a custom lock screen to work with the ultrasonic sensors.

or you want to use the phone straight away... really a week is perfectly normal for you?

Can anyone confirm that they have received an email confirming the order?

​Glad its fine for you. I really wanted to like the phone, it's build quality and spec were great but the battery life was a killer for me. Everyone's usage is going to be completely different so what's fine for one isn't necessary fine for others. I can get a day out of my Oneplus 3T with a 3400mah but nothing more, even with a noticeably larger battery and a lower resolution screen. Maybe I'm a heavier user than most.

​It is almost stock with a few Motorola bits. No bloat ware though

Why oh why didn't they have this offer when I ordered my 64gb G4+ :disappointed: I'd have been delighted with the Z Play and JBL for this price.
I'm going to follow this simple 4-step process next time:
1 - Decide which phone you want
2 - Find a good deal
3 - Order phone
4 - Don't look at HUKD for AT LEAST A YEAR!
Great deal btw. Voted hot

If you received it less than 14 days ago you can return the G4

no confirmation only paypal receipt... maybe there getting alot of orders

Really messed up with the battery on this phone...

black ones sold out. only white/gold business left.

Well, that was an expensive Friday afternoon. Not sure I actually needed this but got it anyway...

We are EU. we havent left yet? and who is they?

Generally what people here say about Lenovo products

that code does not work if you have the jbl speaker in your basket

Had it since January, so can't really complain. Hopefully when i want to upgrade they'll have brought the Z Force to the UK (or an updated version)

JBL soundboost is out of stock!!, such a shame

I don't really get the obsession with phones getting ever thinner. I'd much rather have a phone a few mm thicker with a mahoosive 2-3 day battery.

i need more battery life really and headphone jack

was seriously going to buy this as it is an awesome deal but comparing to my LG G4 dictates not worth the upgrade.

Looks like I may have nabbed the last grey one

THe herringbone didn't show in my basket?

Against Google Pixel what you guys say?

Pixel XL (same size) is £720 in the Google store (when its in stock). There is no way IMO that the Pixel brings £420 of additional specs or value over this phone at this price. No Brainer.

Wow, this is soo much better than my £354 amazon deal. So glad that one expired !

I have both, and they are both great phones the Moto Z is definitely faster than the LG. Both have PLUS/MINUS points.
The worst thing on the Moto Z is if you want a glass screen protector they do not go to the full edge of the screen, due to a slight curvature on the Moto Z screen. Be aware of this if you order a protector and think it doesn't fit.

Pixel is over priced IMO. Google had a good chance to gain some market share with the Pixel if they priced it competitively.

well most EU contries i saw it on a table, where like france, germany all got 24 months but was 12... i thought we were EU still too, but the uk seems ot have a different law. europa.eu/you…htm

while motorola offer only 12....

well thats what the moto offers....

you can have the slimmest phone in existence, or add a battery pack and get easily two days battery life

well its better than a google pixel that doesnt turn up for £270

Just received email of order confirmation from Motorola.

great price. Just bought a xiaomi but if I'd have seen this I'd have reconsidered.

still not got mine yet... :thinking:

The one I bought on your say so? I'm so, so happy for you.

It's such a nice phone. Big, but they all are these days and it's so very light. The only problem is that you can't get a cheap case that has a flip-cover but that also covers the moto mod port. For some reason EVERY cheap case leaves that port exposed even though the presence of a case precludes you using it. It's bananas!

Case in that link is for the Moto Z PLAY.

Sorry about that. The consolation is you're buying from amazon. I just bought this one from lenovo- no confirmation email from them (30 minutes later), and the 'print this page' option hangs the entire page. So it's not a stress free experience ....

Same phone externally. Although this does cover the back connectors.

It seems like they are clearing all the 2016 Moto Z

Phew, I'm not the only one then. Screen shot the confirmation page to anyone ordering this. I clicked 'print' and it bought up a blank page that can't be closed (had to dig around with chrome's developer tools to find the confirmation number - too much detail there I think).

As I write this I just got the confirmation email !

ok do can someone tell me is the moto z dual sim our single sim? and does it have a separate sd card slot if it is dual sim? anyone?

Really has been a great phone and in a strange way that's been its downfall as it eliminates the need to upgrade. Also the camera is awesome. I just find it so hard to resist a deal and this is such a hot deal it really is.

JBL soundmod OOS, gutted to late

dual sim or single sim can anyone advise? also if dual sim is that shared with sim 2

Received my 2nd email earlier. Del on 24th

yes!! thanks for the heads up on this. had the site sitting in my basket with sound dock but wanted the black one:) black came beck in stock so took the plunge:)

hot deal, got one from John Lewis and found the battery to be quite good for the size

failed at checkout... i wanted lunar grey, out of stock :disappointed:

Don't wanna be a hater, but I hate this website recently.
1. Not in stock any more.
2. Motorola never honour these incredible deals due to website glitches.
3. I am bitter about my deals going cold or being rejected cos the company is not that well known when they actually are and advertise widely on AV sites.

This rant is meant to be very mildly amusing so do not berate me.

Expire this deal, out of stock.

Grabbed one. Been on the lookout for a new phone quite a while now and passed this up the last time which I regretted so jumped on it this time. Still not sure I will keep it but couldn't turn down giving it a go at this price. Thanks OP!

This or the Honor 8?

Just added another Lunar GRey and JBL Speaker to checkout fine!

Stock seems erratic lol

Keep trying, it must be all the people holding them in baskets currently but the grey and black keeps coming back in and out of stock. I just got one on the third try.

hot hot hot!

soooo tempted

Yup...another Note 4 owner here who STILL hasn't found a replacement....every phone out there seems to lack something I have with the Note4...hoping for a good Note8 from Samsung but I imagine it will be another of Samsung's £500 phones with a £300 marketing budget cost tagged on top.
Tempted by the MotoZ especially at this price but I know the battery life would disappoint me :disappointed:
I want a Lenovo P2 but with a faster CPU and better Camera..come on Lenovo....

I wish that offer for Z Force.... Shattered proof screen better battery and camera..Add-on's..What do you need more from mobile?

There's an oitment for that ... oO lol. :stuck_out_tongue:

Excellent phone,hot.

Thank You OP. Heat added and ordered. Was gutted when i missed out on the John Lewis deal

How long did you wait for the e-mail? Ordered about an hour ago and still no e-mail :-(

For anyone wondering, these phones ship from China. That's why it takes a full week.

Also, the back glass doesn't scratch easily, however the shatter proof film they put on top of the glass scratches very easily. Be wary of that.

Also expect slow updates as Lenovo are a joke of a company.

The sound boost mod is fantastic though. Beats most sub £150 Bluetooth speakers.

Good to hear I'm not the only one who held onto the Note 4. It still beats a lot of newer phones and has got to be one of the best phones I ever had.
Waiting for Note 8 also but it will be a while till the price come to a reasonable level. So now if a good chance to get a stop gap till then.
Also worth a mention is Nokia 8 or P1 due to come onto the market. Looks like a good contender!

I've had my paypal confirmation but nowt from Moto

Thanks for that, I've been living with a Galaxy S6 for 2 years, the battery life is horrendous, so this phone is a no go for a replacement then.

Good to know.

I mentioned earlier, a bit annoyed about the inability to charge phone while listening to music/watching videos. I see you have the jbl sound mode. Do you know if it has a 3.5mm socket on the mode? If so, it might be possible to charge phone and plug headphones into the actual mode and my problem would be solved!? I thought i could see a socket on the pictures of the jbl mod.

Ordered mine an hour ago (black) - got an order number - but not received an email yet - The customer service line is closed so I can't harass a person on the phone.

The black ones are OOS at the moment. Trying to take a chill pill and hoping that they confirm that my order is good.

Cheers OP, just ordered the black and lunar grey one. :stuck_out_tongue:

Went through Quidco, not sure if it will track due to being an offer, but no harm in trying.

Wow, just ordered... Awesome deal.

dont think you can get the z force in the uk, only the x force

​I have the Note 4 as a works phone and love the battery life on it as I could nearly get 2 days out of it if I did not charge it every night.

for that price? yeah.

Underclocked CPU 1.8ghz :disappointed:

oh, the Black ones are back in stock now..... what the?

EDIT - When you go to checkout - it says out of stock..

Just had my conformation email, took about 30 mins to come through from time of order.

Not sure whete they are coming from. When I ordered a personalised G4 at baclend of last year it was sent UPS from Canada. I've just jad stalling email saying they are reviewing my Moto Z order. Uneasy feeling.

I got my 2nd confirmation email about 2 hours after placing the order. Although when you try to track the order and view Status, it says order not found, try again later if recently placed. Is everyone else seeing this too?

i refer you to my original post

excellent deal and purchased, thanks OP!

this or iPhone 7?

What a comparison my friend :smile:

Fantastic deal. Well spotted OP

Got my email confirmation. yes.

email confirmation received here too :smile: Paid with paypal

Got this phone from the JL deal and I'm well pleased with it so finally ditched my P9 . I hear what people say about battery life but who doesn't carry around at least 3 ways of charging a phone these days :stuck_out_tongue:
I've reordered on this deal to get the free speaker and will sell the phone on.
Thanks OP.

No confirmation yet. Ordered 1.5 hours ago.

Amazing deal, already purchased the DTEK60 for £220, missed out on the JL deal and would of bagged this but have to say the Blackberry really is amazing, decent specs and they release the security updates just a few days after Google. Really impressed! Does anyone use the Moto Z with the battery mod? Too heavy for daily use or fine?

Buying Sim Free ... Moto Z hands down for the price, buying on contract Iphone 7 Plus (can get unlimited mins, texts, 20GB data on Voda with free Iphone 7 plus for £42 a month)

​think people are just putting the phone on their basket but not buying it, and they expire over time and free up slots again

Mothers days sorted! Brilliant offer! Went with the white and gold option for my mum :smile: thanks op

Really not that bothered about the speaker, is it this a good deal on its own? Still got an LG G2 will this be a massive upgrade?

​ same:/ hoping they come through soon eh

​still long, but i prefer ordering from Motorola UK, than an American or Chinese site

Where did you get the DTEK60 from may I ask?

​yeah if you don't get the speaker, use welcome10uk to get £10 off instead of the speaker. UKwelcome10 even sorry!

Yes and yes. It's a lovely phone and it was a hot deal at this price a few weeks ago without the speaker added in,

John lewis it was, and they removed all the stock a day before the promotion ended.
OP3 is still going strong with the 7.1.1 ota update yesterday, so i'll pass in this instance.

heard camera is not good on these, any comments?

​ my confirmation literally just arrived!!! excited now:)

I don't know if they're better lately, but in the past Motorola have been known to drop support for the flagship phones about a year after release. Sometimes going back on statements that they will continue support.

this or samsung note 4????

Won't ship to US.

It's a good phone. I bought one for my wife in the JL sale. I only have a Galaxy S6 to compare it with (my phone still on contact til June) and it's as good as that IMO.

ordered then they cancelled my order and told me to re-order. now OOS. taking my money elsewhere.

You have your country back now, everything comes with a price.

Fantastic deal, ordered!!!

They start allready taking money from ours pockets... taxes; education; NHS; pension age etc.

Why you even on this site, hot 'UK' deals not US. Dont wanna disappoint

is it single sim only or dual sim. its a good deal except the battery is too too small for a QHD screen :disappointed:

looks like soundboost oos I guess I wasn't suppose to get this deal :thinking:

is it worth waiting for the moto g5 plus? is this really a much better phone and worth the extra cash. I'm not fussed about the speaker.

Single sim

Black and Speaker out of stock.

Expired. Speaker out of stock.

I would like to know the same?

I like note 4 due to remvoable battery

Also how much would you suggest for A+ note 4

On a scale of 1 to Very how disappointed would I be if I sold a Galaxy S7 to get this? Like the S7 but fancy a change

This deal is expired. No speakers in stock any more :disappointed:

Probably very disappointed. Irrelevant anyway, the deal is finished, speaker out of stock.

The speaker is definitely out of stock. Would have gone for it

Could you post a link to the DTEK60 please? Very interested, thanks.

Got all excited about this one until the speaker mod stated OOS. EXPIRED

Anyone still waiting on confirmation email? I got the reviewing order email but nothing since that last night.

Sorry it was purchased from a friend, I honestly didn't even consider a blackberry before this and coming from a nexus 5x and 6p I'm very impressed, batter life is amazing and there are little features that just make the whole experience better, of you can pick one up for £300 or less i will go for it

They are out of stock on the Motorola website otherwise I'm guessing that would of been the bundled mod. At £55 on Amazon it's not a cheap option but considering the price of this deal, £355 with the jbl soundboost mod and power bank mod is still a bargain. Either that or sell the jbl soundboost mod and buy the power bank mod and have a great phone sub £300 with 4800 mAh battery (albeit not so thin or light).

Brilliant deal. Heat added.
I got one of these with the inferior John Lewis deal a couple of weeks ago.

I'd like to share a few thoughts for those who are getting one.
1) Car chargers - Motorola have their own fast charging tech called turbo charge. Binatone make a licenced Moto turbo charger for the car. But it's comparatively expensive. You can use any generic Qualcomm Quick Charge 2 or 3 device to charge the phone, but you won't get the turbo top up speed. I use a quick charge 3 charger and I can Navigate, Bluetooth and stream music with the screen always on and the phone stays at 100%.
2) This phone is almost bloatware free, so consider downloading the Android Auto or similar car mode app, for safer hands-free use.
3) For voice activated commands you can either use the standard "OK Google" or you can use a longer customised "moto" phrase, but not both. I find the moto one is more powerful as it works even if the phone is in standby. Allowing you to make a call or turn the flashlight on from across the room without manually waking the phone. However keeping the microphone always on does use about 1% of your daily battery. The custom moto phrase is enabled or disabled in the Moto app.
4) Due to the slight curve on the edges of the screen the glass screen protector I tried was comparatively small compared to the screen. I've ended up buying a cheaper film protector instead, which covers a bit more of the screen. I'm happy with this Nilikin one, but would be interested to hear about other people's experiences.
5) The battery life has been acceptable for me, I expected far worse after reading the reviews. The early reviews were done with Marshmallow, but I think the newly improved Android Doze feature in Nougat may have pushed the battery life from unacceptable into just about acceptable.
6) Use the Moto app to learn the "Actions" short cuts. Some of them are useful, like the twist to start the camera.
7) When migrating your data from your old phone to a new phone, all of your Google contacts, most of your apps, and many "Google Play Games" progress will migrate across seamlessly without you needing to do anything. However there are specialist apps that work on non rooted phones like SMS Backup and Restore and or Helium that will bring across stuff that normally doesn't migrate well.

I'd like to hear if anyone else has any tips for this phone.

On the power bank. I have seen some reviews saying you can clip it on and it will charge the phone about 50% in half an hour. Is that accurate? If that is the case then surely clipping it on for such a relatively short period of time means you are hardly using the phone very much while in 'BULK' mode.

Expired.
OOS

Does anyone with a Moto Z know if the stock Nougat camera app will support RAW shooting? If not, is anyone shooting RAW on the Z with a third party app (FV-5, Manual Camera etc?)

​

is this likely to be delivered before 24th will get tracking number ?

​I though I recognised your name

Hi, but it wont turbocharge the Moto Z. Tried it with various USB-C leads and no turbocharge just standard charge.

Speaker out of stock now

Hi, 'BULK' mode on this is not a lot thicker than most phones.

I had this in my basket hours ago, but according to reviews the camera isn't all that.
I wanted it to replace my LG G4 which has a great camera, i'll wait for the LG G5 to come down in price.

The Herringbone Style Cover is just there to protect the back of the phone from getting scratched (and maybe add a bit more grip and comfort.) You don't have to use the style cover at all leaving the back unprotected, or you can use a 3rd party case. However all the 3rd party cases and the moto style covers must be removed to use a moto mod. Even the ones with cutouts will almost certainly be too thick for the moto mod to attach and work properly. The moto mod effectively becomes the back cover for the phone.

Has anyone managed to check the order status here?
motorola-global-en-uk.custhelp.com/app…ing

It says "Order not found.", makes me feel a bit uncomfortable.

Not with the default app, but many 3rd party camera apps will save RAW files.
You can also save RAW files when you use the Hasselblad camera mod. (I want one, but can't justify it :disappointed: )

​good luck trying to get anything other than the LG G5 SE now. very limited stock for original G5. juat had a replacement on insurance and was looking for a good deal. They seem to have gone up on price on Amazon

If it were half the price I'd consider it - but it's not got the greatest reviews.
Cool, just wanted to check - I know it's theoretically possible but didn't have any confirmation from anyone that had actually shot RAW with it.

Which app do you prefer?

Amazing deal for a great phone. I got it in the John Lewis sale for the same price but no free soundblaster mod. The phone gives a decent audio experience without it so it should sound really nice with the mod attached. I know on paper the battery doesn't appear to be the best but I get the same kind of usage that I got from my previous phone (OnePlus One). The Android 7.0 upgrade sends unused apps and services to sleep a lot more efficiently than previous versions so that mitigates to an extent for the less than stellar battery capacity. A phone this slim couldn't carry a significantly longer lasting one anyway so you'll always have that trade-off until a better way of powering phones all day is found and batteries as we know them become a thing of the past.
If you ever pondered on buying a Moto Z this is the deal to grab. I'm happy at paying just under £300 for the phone alone. It's £500 again in JL last time I looked. At £300 with free audio mod thrown in it's an absolute steal and the deal deserves all the heat its getting. Best phone I've ever owned and am likely to own for another couple of years at least. I don't know if it says in the description that the USB input is also the headphones socket so a 3mm jack to USB-C adapter is required for that. It came with the phone in my case and imagine that's the usual case but worth checking on just to be sure.

I have Camera ZOOM FX premium which shoots .DNG type raw files. I've not tried any others. (To be honest I'm a pretty rubbish photographer and mostly can't be bothered with having to process RAW images, the JPGs mostly do justice to my awful photos.)

Some of your above 'steps' are also good for non-Motorola Android Phones too, thanx. :-)

Appreciate the info, i didn't realise they are two separate phones!!

Can still get the G5 but i was hoping for a Vodafone deal as that's where i got my G2 and G4 from. But it looks like that won't be happening as they only sell the SE version. :disappointed:

Will i need to remove the nylon herringbone cover to expose the contacts to use the speaker? i hope not cos it takes the principal away from it being modular?

​because he doesn't want to use husd

how's the build quality of Motorola lately? I banned this brand as it did not last a year on casual use (hardware issue).

​tbh. I think 64 gb ram is a plus as you don't have to get irritated with space issue on apps that can't be moved to SD card such as WhatsApp

Nice one, it worked in the end...the site was bonkers how it was bouncing in and out of stock last night.

I bought this from JL a few weeks ago for £299 and love this phone. Ordered the speakers from Amazon last night then just seen this deal :disappointed:

This replaced my Huawei P9, the Moto Z has a better camera, screen and is so much faster and the fingerprint scanner still works after exercise (unlike the P9). I have no issues at all with the battery after a full day use it is normally at 60%. It comes with a TurboPower charger so charges very quickly which I prefer over a larger battery that charges slowly.

It downloaded about 4 updates when I turned it on (including Nougat 7.0). The phone is large and very thin so holding in one hand could be tricky for some people.

The only negative point I would say is that it is very prone to fingerprints on the front and back, maybe my previous phones have had a special coating as I have never noticed it before.

Note 4 is a beast. You can pick grade A for around 250. Sometimes less. I picked one up in mint condition for £220 5months ago

I have the same. I have emailed them to check what's going on :thinking:

I have found all the Motorolas ive owned to be fantastic phones and just about the best value for money there is out there. Lenovo said they wouldnt mess with the brand but seem to have fallen short with battery life on this one. Techradar found "Moto Z battery life is where it falls short, and that slender size is to blame. It includes a 2,600 mAh battery capacity that just isn't enough for modern phones".
Battery life has always been fantastic on my Motos so its looks like Lenovo are not as capable as Motorola in this department. Otherwise its excellent for the price.

Still no more speakers left, needs expiring

Returned mine,battery is awful.

Everyone who is buying this knows the battery is going to be poor. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to work that out. However at this price this phone and its specifications is great value for money. I've been waiting for a deal on a phone and I've bitten at this one. Tempted to sell the free jbl soundboost mod and buy the power bank mod.

Jesus wept people, it's the slimmest android phone available.
Due to technology limitations they've therefore needed to use slimmer internals....
Which includes the battery!

Supports quick/turbo charge so I dont see what all the hoohah is about tbh

Looks like this deal was too good to last! They're still advertising the free mod, maybe it will come back into stock..? I shall be keeping my eyes out for it...

Both phones out if stock!!

awesome, is very value fro this spec. Hot added.

Hard to watch!

I feel your pain! I'm in exactly the same boat. Still delighted with the G4+, though, and by the sound of it, the battery is better.

Expired. Speaker is OOS.

jesus is actually weeping because they made this phone so stupidly thin they couldn't stick a decent battery or headphone jack in it!
a couple of mm is nothing on something so damn big anyway... and when the camera protrudes out of the back so much
those battery packs should come in the box or at least be bundle options

Black/Gray and speakers both OOS :disappointed:

Turbo charger came with my Moto G4 plus. Works amazingly well and with all my other devices too. Its a real bonus with these phones.

heey yeah, went pretty smoothly though, my card wasn't charged at all

​I know thank God was lucky. still thanks for sharing it was a great deal

Right now I don't even know if I ordered one... several attempts my card company even called me to see what was going on... they said payment approved but no order recognised against my reference and no email. I am confused and frustrated!

My order says the same but I did get a confirmation email. I think they will update the orders on working days, so maybe tomorrow. If the money has come out of the bank then I think you will have ordered one.

Thanks for that. .. will see what happens tomorrow then.

Received the shipped email but it still doesn't find any order under the "check status" tab.

Same.

Me too. I also tried to check order status online via chat yesterday and they said some servers are down and they can't give me an update.

Does anyone know where are these being shipped from? Someone said directly from China but you would have to pay extra taxes if that was the case and you get unlucky...

China should take few days hopefully

How does this work in terms of taxes? Should they be charging VAT if they ship from China?

Same as most... order now shipped

Aye order shipped.... but no details of order nor tracking lol

If they've shipped from China and the import/VAT hasn't been prepaid then we will need to pay 20% VAT and a few % customs as well as a handling charge from whichever courier they've used.

I would expect that they're sent from a distribution hub within Europe.
If not they're gonna be getting a lot of deliveries refused lol

The site nor checkout said anything about importing an they already charged VAT

I have ordered 3 phones now from Motorola. There have been NO import duties or VAT to pay on any of them.

Did they come directly from China? Did you get tracking details? How long did they take to get here?

Just got my tracking number from Moto Chat, Shipped from China via FedEx International Priority DirectDistribution.
They've confirmed no import/VAT will be due

Haha. Did exactly the same. :-)
Delivery date says 28th March Tuesday... Not Friday 24th as initially 'promised' in the dispatch email.

Same here, email says 24th, but tracking (obtained via Moto chat) says 28th, and states that parcel was received after FedEx cutoff time, so maybe that is why.

At least they have been dispatched... Not that bothered about when it arrives as didn't really need a new phone anyway :stuck_out_tongue: this was the very definition of an impulse purchase...

i got this too, but only after ordering gold :-/

"J1135 If they've shipped from China and the import/VAT hasn't been prepaid then we will need to pay 20% VAT and a few % customs as well as a handling charge from whichever courier they've used."

Ive posted this note many times but for those that didnt see it :- Ive had 3 phones from Motorola China since Christmas. They all went through UK customs. I didnt have to pay any import duties whatsoever. Hope thats the same for all who took a punt with this one.

Tracking was a waste of time and totally inaccurate. Took 10 days from purchase to delivery.

As we have ordered on the motorola UK website I expect that there are no extra charges. VAT does show up on the order email.

It was the Motorola UK website I ordered from zonkkk. I dont think that necessarily negates you from VAT charges but for whatever reasons I didnt pay any import duties nor did just about everyone else

VAT has already been paid and appears as VAT on the original order.

I did a bit of digging and the Fedex shipment service Motorola is using means they will sort out import charges before delivering the product to you.
Here is what "Fedex International Priority DirectDistribution Service" does:
"Consolidate multiple packages or freight into a single shipment,
reducing fees and masking customs value from your end customers
before transporting and distributing individual shipments directly
to them."

Anybody else think Motorola don't know what they're doing?:
"Peace of mind
We're here to help. Chat with a member of our support team and get answers immediately. Try us anytime. We're up all night.

We're sorry, chat is currently unavailable

The confidence instilled by the words "we're up all night" is great, then they say they're closed!

Slight confusion here from Motorola... hope their phone is better than the service so far!

​went on live chat today to get tracking but said their was a system glitch and please try again tomorrow.
when you spend £300 you would ex

​went on live chat today to get tracking but said their was a system glitch and please try again tomorrow. oO

Mine is at Stansted according to FedEx tracking (status: package available for clearance).

Just had a chat with FEDEX and they informed me delivery notes state to be delivered by 12 on the 28-03-2017!!


And yes the Motorola website and communications/info is really poor and not reliable

Yeah so is mine having been in Japan yesterday afternoon when i checked. They are taking it on a roundabout way of getting here, China, Japan, France and now the UK! I'm wondering whether it will turn up tomorrow now?

Mine is out for delivery today.

Mines just arrived!

​its perfect for me I did turn of vibrant display though

this phone is incredible i was very happy with my Moto 3 g and bought this phone on a whim and it's worth every penny. the speaker is fantastic I'm hard of hearing and always where headphones i used this speaker mod i could hear every word clearly on my test on the grand tour on Amazon video it really has made me

​Ive for mine in the following:

TUDIA Ultra Slim Lightweight Full-Matte ARCH TPU Shock Absorption Bumper Protective Case for Motorola Moto Z 

I went for the Poetic Revolution after reading a few reviews. Fits perfectly and the first time I've put on a screen protector (built in) and not itched at the loss of quality from putting cheap plastic in front of expensive glass. Seems good to me.
amazon.co.uk/Rev…o+z

i really wanted the play version but so glad this deal come along battery is fine and charges so fast

qq... will FedEx deliver to neighbours if you're not in ?

Could try leaving a note on your door!

Should receive mine today now, well according to FedEx Tracking

‌ :smile: Done that, just not sure if they'll honour it!

Mine turned up at 07:30 this morning.

Just taken delivery of mine all in one package.
Quick charge up and then play time!!

Seems mine should arrive today before 12pm :smile: well chuffed if it does.

Mine says delivery before 12 as well, but no one home until 11:45...

First time I hope they are late with a delivery...

Mine is also on the van for delivery, says before 18:00 today, got to go to work at 11:30, so hopefully it comes before them.

So the phone took 4 updates and is now fully up to date.
The speaker sounds o.k not the worse and not the best.
This is for the Mrs (Surprise/early birthday) and I will let her load it up with APK etc later
Will charge it all up and let her play later any questions that I maybe can answer feel free too ask

My estimated delivery was meant to be today too, but I've just tracked it and it looks like my phone is still in China and I won't get it until the 31st. So much for the 7 day delivery...

Got mine this morning, I'm at work so can't play too much but is anyone else a bit peeved that they don't send any headphones at all with it? I had (wrongly) assumed they would have a USB-C stereo headset for handsfree included in the box so I don't always need the adapter, no such luck.

Edit: on my lunch break and hooked up the JBL to watch some music videos on youtube, VERY impressed with the sound quality. The kick stand is great too, i'll certainly be watching more Netflix at my desk in future :smile:

Mine arrived, nfc'd settings and apps from moto x play and am just updating it now:)

so what's the best case to use for it have a tudia on the x play

I've always gone with Spigen cases, no uk stock tho:(

Such a shame the mods are use with the phone only, it really limits their lifespan

Mine arrived at 11:30 today. I've bought this Sparin 2-pack case for mine:-

amazon.co.uk/gp/…c=1

Do you have any info on that? The new Moto Z will be coming out this year... I'm hoping they make new mods backwards compatible...

Looks like LG have abandoned mods so moto could too, you would hope they would be compatible but that ties them into the exact size phone every time and companies are notorious for making people replace things.

Phone has just arrived @ Prestwick today as per Moto delivery estimate, Fedex was next Tuesday so its a win win, just updating phone so might be a while :-/

As far as I'm aware its the same body as the current one with the newer snapdragon CPU so the mods will be compatible.

No one else stuck having to wait a whole other week for theirs? Feeling very jealous reading everyone seems to have had theirs delivered today :disappointed:

I'm sure they just committed to delivering mods for at least 3 years at one of the recent mobile conference (need to find a ref link). I agree though that it means they will be bound to the design / form factor although it maybe a reason for people to seek out the next gen so they can keep using their mods.

This is interesting .... youtube.com/wat…pEQ .... I also agree as the first time I heard about this phone was due to the previous JL deal. I very much like the idea of mods and it pushes me to want a standard for docking for phones (magnetic / gravity contacts if you know what i mean) so we could all use standard accessories.

also upgraded from x play.

ARGH just found that there's no USB charge cable either, just a 3-pin plug charger, How do you expect me to charge in my car, Moto?

I really don't like stock android. I press the dialer and I get favourites, if I want those I'll have a link on my screen, I now have to press another button to get the dialer to make a call. The bloomin bar at the top I can't get red of without installing a launcher etc etc. When I got my G4 it just worked well for me, I wasn't having to google for ages trying to undo annoyances.

Does it come with a bumper, like in the us? And if not, has anyone tried the bumper and mod from incipio together?

Mine came with a clear plastic bumper and the herringbone back

Any app out there to transfer between two different brands? I have Samsung and use the smart switch normally

on start up mine offered to copy apps/settings from my previous phone via nfc - it worked for me :smile:

OK so i put my 200gb SD card in and it complained about it being a slow card and it may stall apps if i use it as such. so can someone recommend a really good fast largish sd card ?:)

Thanks. Is the bumper alright or is it a good ideia to upgrade?

I feel your pain... I was in work and the other half didn't hear the door. So no phone for me until next week. Broken..

I don't think moto will abandon the mods till after 3rd gen moto z if they are they just launched moto official battery pack at mwc.

youtu.be/0zS…mFQ

I also saw a gaming controller and have you seen 3rd party mods when they had there developers conference / competition for mods which just finished. Now all those had prototypes are now crowded funded and some have already reached there funding targets like the led battrey back and solar panel.

Collect from your local depot tomorrow. That's what I'm doing (at 7:30am).

Unfortunately I'm in work all weekend. What hours are the depots open? Are they all the same or different depending on area?

Edit: just checked and it's open until 6pm... Same time that I finish work.

Edit again: even worse it closes at 12 lol

phone is awesome and to top it off i got £125 trade in at Game for my Moto nexus 6

I've ordered the poetic as well as I was unable to find any Spigen ones :disappointed:

Altho it leaves the moto mod ports open, are they actually usable with the case on?

Gave the speaker a blast last night, rather impressed :smile:

Wow, just wow. Awesome phone. I collected mine from FedEx this morning.

It really is a steal for £299...

Doing the first update now: 1.4GB...

One of the features the Mrs likes is voice control, very good. And the torch feature, swipe the phone twice when the power is off to activate the torch.. Could come in handy.

Just in case you guy's are unaware... to take screenshot hold the power and volume down buttons together

My Moto Z still hasn't come and it's been sitting in the FedEx distribution centre since Thursday. The centre is short drive away from my home which makes it all the more annoying. Hope everyone is enjoying their new phones!

Motorola and Lenovo are crooks

No, the (current) mods can't be used with it on. But I don't think it does it much harm having the cutout - and you just don't know what mods will come out in future, so part of me wonders if there's a little bit of future proofing.
I'm impressed with the case though (once I remembered to remove the magnetic back that came with the Z.)

And loving the phone itself. Still getting it all setup how I like it and delving into some of the more advanced features but first impressions are excellent - especially of that screen!

Great phone shame about stock Android. I've just reset and I'm starting again. I think I'm going to have to root this or sell and get the LG G6 which of course costs a lot more.

Anyone got a full screen tempered glass protection? I've only seen amazon.co.uk/MOT…ass but not sure about it.

Used these and are good quality, be aware that any tempered glass screen protector for the Moto Z will not entirely cover the whole screen due to a slight curvature at the edge of the display.

amazon.co.uk/Pro…tor

I removed mine because I couldn't live with the dust build up around the edge of the protector, and after seeing this I don't think the Moto Z needs one.
youtube.com/wat…DIw

This video shows the Moto Z disassembly.... Are you brave enough to do this to your new expensive smartphone.....
youtube.com/wat…_-8

I'm thinking of selling my JBL speaker as I don't need it. Any takers?

It's with a heavy heart that I have to announce my Moto Z passed away in it's sleep last night. We made 4 attempts of resuscitation with the turbopower charger but there is no sign of life whatsoever.
Luckily, Moto have offered a replacement or full refund (of which I will be taking the latter, can't put up with a phone that lasts 72 hours then dies a complete death). :face_with_monocle:

Apparently the command centre nice looking widget it verizon only but the APK is available.

The widget can be the middle circle or all 3. The weather part links to accuweather on the phone.
The APK I downloaded from here the link is in step 1 and works perfectly. Easiest wayfor me is to email it to your gmail and install direct from email. androidflagship.com/226…red

Anyone able to remove the bloody Google search bar from main screen?

Obly way is to use a launcher, I used Nova as I have the paid for version. It also gives you battery % on status bar.

The search bar is beyond annoying. I know what Google want to achieve but is annoying so many customers worth it.

I was just trying to work this out last night, no luck :thinking:

My first reaction when I saw it was to remove it, on older phones I've always put Nova Launcher on there (cracking launcher app) but this time I've tuned it out. There's a lot of screen real estate and it doesn't take up much of it.

I'm hanging fire on installing Nova too - I like how it all looks and feels straight out of the box. I miss a couple of minor things coming from Nova but not enough to change it right now.

How do i set battery % on status bar in nova please :smile: looked everywhere (well obviously I haven't as i couldn't find it)

Sorry I got that wrong.
There's 2 ways, I bought an app called material status bar (the free version is full of ads that render it barely usable), it gives you a status bar like LG or Samsung etc and also battery %, I hated the ugly grey and 2 swipes down and 2 ups, just awful, so mine is now one swipe and looks like LG.
There is another option that's within Android but to me it's not as clear. You need to get Tweak UI working, to do this swipe to get your full status bar drop down and then long press on the cog at the top right, you'll get a message saying tweak UI is there, now go to settings/tweak ui/Status bar then scroll down an there's and option called battery, select this and you get 3 options for showing battery. However it just does little text within the icon and it's really difficult to see.

Because Motorola's charger was hard wired I got caught out. So I ordered these little adapters as I have plenty of micro USB's. They work fine, 3 for £3.99 amazon.co.uk/gp/…c=1

I've got some and they're fine, but having switched to quick charge compatible chargers elsewhere (car charger, spare mains charger etc) at fairly reasonable prices I can see myself getting impatient with 'normal' charging speeds. It's definitely a step forward that the mobile industry needed.

Just baulking at the price of a QC compatible power bank oO

Try this :- amazon.co.uk/gp/…c=1

Mine has finally arrived, but I no longer want it. Anyone desperate to have one of these with the speakers before I send back? If so drop me a PM.

NOW GONE

Motorola have confirmed that FedEx have lost my package so I'll be getting a full refund from them. I'm really quite disappointed but maybe it's just a sign it wasn't meant to be eh? For everyone who actually received their phones, I hope you're enjoying them!

I am seeing extensive battery drain when screen is off and connected to a 5GHz WiFi. The phone does not stay in deep sleep.

When on mobile data or 2.4GHz WiFi there is no drain when screen off. Anyone notice this?

What colour is it?

just spotted a cash transaction payment on my credit card for this £8.93 , not happy about this, cant see this anywhere on my invoice or pay-pal payment, now have the hassle of getting my credit card to refund the money, this will be fun . . . not!

Sorry but the battery life on this mobile is not up to modern devices. Disappointed coming from Note 4.

I have found that I can get 4h SOT when using it straight away after charging.

If I have it connected to a 5GHz WiFi network the phone drains the battery when screen is off and you can only get about 2h SOT.

Anyone find the WiFi is not that great? I seem to have weaker wifi signal than I had with my Note 4

WiFi signal OK for me. Also mobile signal seems a bit stronger than my LG G4.

My only gripe is battery life when connected to a 5GHz network.

Did anyone buy one of these with speaker that they decided they don't want and would be willing to sell on rather than send back?

Hi
I've gone for a S7 edge so no longer need mine. I've used it for only a few days. PM if you are interested

does the Moto Z have a FM radio ?

Bought it for the wife but she used it for 3-4 days and now wants an S8..... :sunglasses:

I think I am going to send it back as it is not better than my Nexus 6p...

Anybody got an unopened sealed one willing to sell for £330

Hi Jayd95. I'll message you.

I have one that has been used for a week. It is spotless.
Speaker is still sealed.

I'd do it for original cost plus postage if you're interested.

Bought it for my GF but she's happy to stick with her old phone.

Happy to list it on Lokal for you if you want.

Did you get rid of this? I'd be interested.

No. Still got it.

Mine is the Gold version and they wanted black.

Current £299 at CPW

I'm going to get rid of mine. I've spent ages trying to get it to work for me but it seems like every day there's something new to annoy me. Yesterday it was trying to send an image as an attachment via the camera app, today it's where it the clear function on the calc and why are there no bank holiday's filled in on the calendar. The lack of notifications other than if you wave your hand over it is just too much. I have my phone on silent a fair bit and to have to be constantly checking rather than just looking is a pain. I've tried several apps but the battery drain is really bad. Shame as it was a good price.

Calc: you know that button that says, "Del." When you've entered something to clear it suddenly changes to, "Clr."
I think it may be that button...
Calendar is Google, not Moto. Three horizontal lines on the left? Tap that. Scroll down. There's a tick box for, "Holidays." Tick that. Refresh.
Photo attachments: Take photo. Swipe left on the screen - it brings up the photo. Tap the share icon. Choose your preferred way of sharing.

Or get rid of the phone, Android and you don't appear to agree.

There are plenty of ways around things, I've spent hours on this phone trying to set it up so it works as it should but I'm constantly downloading apps or delving into settings for basic things. And Android suits me fine, just I don't like stock android. I can share attachments but the process is more than it needs to be as with the calc. But the biggie is notifications, I keep missing things, I've tried 4 apps but they all drain battery. I'll have a look at the G6 when it comes down in price until then I'll risk my G4 which works brilliantly for me hopefully it doesn't develop the bootloop issue.

Out of curiosity, how long will your G4's battery last at a full charge?
My 18-month-old G4 is hardly a mobile device, have to keep recharging it a good few times a day. It could be used as a baby leather surfaced radiator though.

I get about 4 days. I don't have bluetooth wifi on as standard and I don't sync emails either. THere was a recent update that improved battery so if you haven't done that try it. At least with the G4 you can get a replacement battery. In the last 22hrs it's used 14% and this included a small LG update.

The G4 just works well for me. I struggled a little with my samsung s3 getting it how I wanted but nothing like with this moto. But the G4 has just be good from the start, easy to set up easy to get to work how I work.

The things I posted aren't workarounds - they're standard features?

If the phone doesn't suit then it doesn't suit, but I'm not sure how any Nougat running phone is going to be any different.
And the notifications thing...how are you missing them? I've not noticed anything different about the notifications to any other Android phone.

Not sure if many peeps are still on this thread but has anyone updated their phone with the latest software that came out about a week ago? Just wondering if anyone had any issues after the update as at the moment all is going well.

Anyone else had nothing but trouble with battery life since buying this phone? I've had mine in for Motorola official "repair" and it is no better. Estimated screen on time with a "full" battery is just 2hrs 34min according to Accubattery, which rates the capacity at 1244mah after repair; nowhere near 2600mah. Accubattery is the only non-Google app i've installed since i got the phone back. I am using an old phone for daily use which cost little more than £100, is a year old and lasts all day on one charge. The Moto Z has proved to be a lemon unless left permanently connected to a power socket!

I get about the same. The main issue is that it does not seem to go to deep sleep when connected to a 5GHz WiFi network.
I get about 3.5h if only connect to 2.4GHz networks... But it does seem to have a higher than average battery drain when screen is off.

I thought it was only me, I don't know any of the technical things but I can confirm the battery life is SHOCKING! I'm having to plan my schedule around the next time I am near a power socket, I'm like an old lady planning toilet stops in order not to be caught short! :astonished: ...please help, down to 27% it was fully charged at 4pm! Not sure I will last 2 years with this I'm already tired :cry:

I got the battery mod. When the phone gets to around 20% I snap it on and it charges the battery to about 80% in about 40 minutes. You can still use the phone and take the mod off when empty. This way I get about 4.5 hours SOT.

The other thing I did is change my home WiFi settings so my phone only connects to the 2.4GHz Network.

Thanks so much will give both ideas a go, I hope the battery mod can be picked up relatively cheaply. Hx
