In 5 years time someone will still be posting this deal - it's been going on for 6 mths ... IT ONLY HAS 1GB

I have bought 2 of these, on this offer. First one in white for my wife, while her iPhone is being repaired. Note that the white ones battery cover doesn't have the non slip paint and one in black. I have been using the black one for a couple of weeks instead of my Oneplus X (with 3gb of RAM). I haven't noticed any issues with RAM. The phone is amazingly well built, it is comfy to hold - grippy too and I only have had one niggle. My 128GB MicroSD card sometimes disappears and the phone needs to be rebooted. I think this is an issue with the card size though. For the cost, this phone is utterly brilliant. I don't think there is anything out there that comes near it, other than from a less known cheap brand. Motorola (Lenovo) is going to push Nougat out soon. I think this is a no brainer.

People banging on about the fact it 'only' has 1gb ram. I have the phone, had it for month or two and does everything a normal user would require ! Its £79 ffs it's superb value

sent mine back today
too paranoid about ghost touch issue
look it up

Open the PDF in the email and use the tracking number on the FedEx site

over a week still nothing had email Wednesday saying its been shipped but no way of tracking it or even which carrier it will be with

Phone came today son is very happy

Absolute rubbish, ordered on Saturday unable to track order, waited 20 mins for live chat, server down can't track anything, never again.

Nice 1, glad your happy with it.

Not very good.

Mine never showed in shipping either but fed ex rang me a day earlier than originally told advising he was on his way

Got mine today, less than a week. Love it, as I had an older Motorola could sync everything from old into new, apps, contacts everything, so simple!!

I've not had any email or been acknowledged they have my order

Had an email to say it has been shipped with estimated delivery for Monday. Clicking on the tracking it says order not found. Will sit and wait.

Yeah sounds like it, will check status in a couple of days.

yeah the email I got when I ordered said Friday an just looked on faq about order status an says this "At this time, to check the status of your order, please contact us." so maybe there order tracking down or something

Really? It did state estimated delivery for next Monday, will wait and see.

ah ordered mine Sunday but still saying that

Yep mine does but only ordered yesterday tea time.

anyone elses order status still say "Order not found. If recently placed, please check back later for an update."

I guess this deal has expired, the code KENSMOTO no longer works.

​Dual SIM Moto G5 is available to preorder on Amazon for 179.. also 3GB RAM and fingerprint scanner.

​I have a Moto X Force and have the same as card issue (64 GB). I noticed you can eject and reinsert to get it back - easier and faster than reboot. And if you install a custom launcher (there should be other widget apps too) allows you to have a direct shortcut to storage. So basically 3 touches. Hope it helps :smiley:

​no KENSMOTO doesn't work for me either

KENSMOTO doesnt work for me?

1. yes, its is not tied to a manufacturer if you buy it direct from Motorola.
2. You will require a sim card from your chosen Service provider to insert into the phone. You choose which provider you want to use and what tariff and you can either apply over the internet, on the phone you have already or pop into a shop on the highstreet and get signed up. The internet will most probably offer you a better deal for a contract or sim only deal. With pay as you go, it doesn't really matter if you get it off the high street.


Black is back in stock too y'all!

A couple of questions please...

1) Can this work as a pay as you go phone? Does it already come tied to a phone provider?

2) Does this require a sim card or already have one? If no, where do you get one and does it need to be a Motorola one?

Thanks.

Fair enough, thanx.

It's true, should assume it would work for the £money ...

Fair enough, thanx.
Which Huawei you get for £70?.
And true, £200 is not a budget phone price at all I guess? (wrong terminology).

Mine worked out at £75.06 after cashback. For that price it's an excellent phone, my wife loves it. She doesn't sit on her phone playing games all day long, so having 1GB of RAM isn't an issue for her.

Black OOS. White still available. Good phone :smiley:

Not bad, thanx for info. :-)

Out of interest, is the Phone any good?.

Hahahaha, yeah, it does sound a little bit mixed up, doesn't it?, lol.

Zte Maven 2 is free with $30 Topup for anyone going to US

It has a proper charger.. :smile:

Was you drunk when you posted this ?

the g4 is available in dual sim white about £160, or several samsung phones. i'd recommend samsung after reading reviews of the g4, lots of touch screen issues!

Great thanks OP, ordered.

That's right. Windows handles memory way better than Android :smiley:
Not many Apps though :disappointed:

Dual SIM (any brand/model) in UK is so rare. I have looked before and never got far. Seems you have to import from Asia as the market there is much bigger for dual SIM.

Im looking for a Moto g4 dual sim versions,What are the options?
Thanks

Agree. This deal has also been posted at least 11 times in the last 2 months!

Post the deal then

I was looking at the Moto G4 play to replace my Blu HD LTE (amazon black friday deal 18 months ago) - specs are pretty much identical - only diff is my Blu is windows and this is Android..[/quote
Might be the only difference but it's a massive difference

does it come with a proper charger or usb

In 5 years time someone will stop pointing out that it 'only' has 1Gb RAM in every thread...

Great value phone.

don't think i got a reply to this before sorry? can someone do a basic multitasking test on this phone please:

open google maps
open chrome, go to e.g. an airline website
open momondo
open at least one more big app you'll realistically have open like whatsapp.

try cyling between the apps. does chrome reload the page? on my g1 and g3 especially it does, and this is a disaster if you're part way through booking something.

i love the g series but theyve a history of memory management problems. i'm not just talking about the 1gb, there's more issues.

thanks if anyone can confirm how good/bad multitasking is on this..
also not waterproof right?

This is the Orange San Fransisco of its time!

Would it be ok to re-post all the time if it had 2gb ram?

G5 is £169 for 2gb ram or £179 for 3gb ram - looks a very good phone but is close to £200 a budget phone???

I dont really think so - picked a Huawei 2gb ram phone from cpw before xmas at £70

​microphone/lip sync/colour tint/not receive calls/ kept turning off lots more. search for a thread on here, dozens of problems but people seem to love it. I know it's a new phone but I expect pay£209 you shouldn't get any problems. this one is a 3rd cheaper a card for a tenner. BRILLIANT

Sounds intriguing ...

But, if it's not dropped yet, how'd you know the 'budget phone' phone price?. :-)

As in a used SonyEricsson Z2?.

This is new ...

I have Posted this one at all thanx ...

But thinking of your comment again, maybe I should be next ..... hehehe. ;-)

How does the Motorola G4 fair over that of the OP's Motorola G4 Play?.

And does the above OP Codes also work with the Motorola G4 Phone too?, or .....

Thanx for any advice. :-)

What was wrong with your P2?.

It's a beautiful phone ...

It's GBs chaps, honestly :man:

I've just bought the G4 (not the PLAY) ... getting very cheap now that the G5 is due in a week ... cracking phone.

Those bangin on about how 1GB is not enough obviously do not own this phone

Superb value for money phone.

People banging on about the fact it 'only' has 1gb ram. I have the phone, had it for month or two and does everything a normal user would require ! Its £79 ffs it's superb value

for the price its a great phone

What is the camera like on this?

thx op one ordered

Is this phone ever going to get old ? its posted at least once a week and gets voted hot each time what's the big deal.

I got one 2 weeks ago, its abargain for 80 quid, also it has android pay which geo tags where you make any purchases

This is poor value imo. You can pick up something like a z2 (yes it's old) but the specs kill this.

Snapdragon 801
3gb ram etc.

I bought one a couple of weeks back and it's a decent phone for the money.
I have installed about 20 apps and it's only using 56% of the available 1gb ram.
The phone is far better than the Blu studio G phone I returned to Amazon due to it being slow and laggy.

I've had this phone from release, for 80 quid it's an absolute bargain. Really love mine

I have ordered this phone for my daughter who is not a phone person. I recently noticed trying to take photos on her old Nokia so I hope she will notice a difference. It is also moving over to a Android phone from Windows.

I had to really struggle to get the price down to £79.01

I had to use both discount codes in the right order, KEN----- first.

Anyway, we will see what comes.

I have an old Nexus 4 she could have used but I suspect this will be more fun.

look at the smart phone called Blu - Life Max on Amazon.co.uk 16gb /2gb ram 3700mahh battery for under £90 only thing missing is NFC it does has a finger print sensor on the back.

Moto g4 (not play) is free at mobile phones direct.
12.5 a month for 2gb data 1000 mins 500 texts. Plus 48 cash back if you can be bothered. I got this deal, it works great.
Ghost touch only happens if you do a specific fast top to bottom swipe, think it may be software related, to stop ghost touch error just press on off button.
It's not a problem , more an Easter egg

gen 5 moto g launches in 2 weeks and has really great specs for a budget phone

I see no reason to get this over my Moto G2, the ram's the same, storage the same, it's on the latest android but that doesn't really makes any ends to me.2GB ram and dual sim are a requirement for more people

2nd code is: UKWELCOME10 not Welcome10

I have this after my Lumia got smashed by the bairn. First foray into Android in quite a few years. Works fine. Memory stats sometimes show it uses nigh on all of what is available but I'm not **** about closing stuff down. It lacks some of the smoothness of the Lumia but I'm impressed with the build quality and general speed of it. Camera is pretty decent too, as is battery life. All in all I think it is a great deal for £79.

I ordered one a month ago, FedEx took three weeks to confirm that they had lost it. Motorola's response, 'not our problem, none in stock, you will get your money back in ten days'. Customer care really not what I expected.

For less than £80 you are not going to get better than this. 1gb of ram for stock android is just about enough for the average user.

For those​ who demand faster performance expect to pay at least another £40.

Jesus. That is some unanimous scathing testimony.

I got this phone a few weeks ago. It is great value, but I have noticed an ever so slight decrease in performance since day 1, loading basic apps like Chrome take a second or 2 more now, but I kind of expected this from a build up of files etc. And no, I haven't used it for any dodgy sites like porn lol, and not gamed or used much of the 16GB memory either.

There was a system update this week for the phone - it has improved :smile:

I know this apparently doesn't have the usual android bloatware , but I'm really interested to know how much of that 1 GB is available fresh out the box ? I would really appreciate info on this from someone who has this phone . cheers

Dual sim if I buy white? Or is that the model up?

Buy direct from Motorola at your peril. If anything goes wrong they are a nightmare to deal with and ignore their obligations under the Consumer Rights' Act.

worth it?? opinions?

In 5 years time someone will still be posting this deal - it's been going on for 6 mths ... IT ONLY HAS 1GB

​i had exactly the same issues returning my lenovo P2 to Three. sent it back over a month ago in their prepay envelope, got a receipt from the post office but they are still refusing refund saying they can't find it

I've noticed mine had a bend in it, where the buttons for volume are, not sure how, never noticed this with any other phone I've owned

sent mine back today
too paranoid about ghost touch issue
look it up
