Thanks to OldBugger:

A few comments have arisen here regarding warranty from Amazon. I can confirm from online chat that:

  • Amazon will replace or refund the cost of the mobile phone if it becomes faulty within a year
  • Return postage to UK will also be refunded

I have used Amazon for years now (UK and US) and have had nothing but excellent experiences with returns and refunds. I would even state that I prefer buying from them over any other retailer locally or otherwise.

      • [Deactivated] on 26/08/2016 - 17:07

        Correct term is unlocked, sim-free sounds like the old simless GSM phones.

          Nope.

          Locked means it's locked to particular carrier. You can get phones which are unlocked, but are provided with a provider SIM/branding/etc.

          SIM-free means no provider, it's just the phone.

          Or in short, SIM-free implies unlocked, but unlocked might not be SIM-free.

          3) still finding out about Motorola and their international warranty

        Was it even waterproof? Since you can make up the tests for IP* certification consumers are often misled by claims of waterproofing.

        • Azmunga on 26/08/2016 - 21:57

          The G3 certainly isn't "take it swimming" waterproof, but more than good enough to survive dropping it in the bathtub (or using it in the shower according to one comment I read). Plenty of testing to be found online if you care to check it out.

          Only because the prices are inflated here, you can get these for USD $199 at Amazon.

        • [Deactivated] on 26/08/2016 - 19:02

          @stuhtb: That's AU$260… My Xiaomi Mi Note Pro was the same price with 4GB of RAM.
          Apples to oranges, sure, but 2GB is still a little crappy for the price.

          Edit: For ~$200 2GB isn't bad, but I mean I can understand people expecting more when this phone is aimed more at the upper mid-tier market - the ~$300-350 pricerange. It's slipped down a tier possibly due to the lack of RAM.

        • Diji1 on 26/08/2016 - 20:34
          +4

          @dyl: It's 200 dollars, it's a budget Android. Flagships from Samsung cost 4 times as much.

        • [Deactivated] on 26/08/2016 - 20:54
          +1

          @Diji1: Explained above - $200 is bargain price, it's actually a $300-350 phone. Even at $200 though, all the Xiaomi phones at a similar price have 3GB.

        • [Deactivated] on 26/08/2016 - 20:57
          +2

          @dyl: This phone is not targeted at upper-mid tier market, at most it could be mid tier. The moto x is their upper-mid. The Moto z play and z force is their flagship (at least going to be once released). The moto g is ridiculously marked up in Aus. The Moto G3 first came out for under USD $220, now it sells for like USD $179 ~ AUD $234, we pay about AUD $290+ here from local retailers.

          The price doesn't automatically change a phones market category, the OnePlus phones cost almost half the price of its competing brands and even it at times beat them on value. At ~$200, you really should not be complaining about the 2GB RAM, especially by comparing it to Xiaomi phones that don't even locally sell here.

          @stuhtb:

          the OnePlus phones cost almost half the price of its competing brands

          Its competing brands have 4GB of RAM if this is half the price. I'm more indicating its competitors are the $200-300 phones with 3GB of RAM and (sometimes) 32GB storage. I just see it as if you're already spending $200-230, you might as well spend $250 and have specifications you know will still keep up in 6-12 months and have the added advantage of 32GB+.

          you really should not be complaining about the 2GB RAM, especially by comparing it to Xiaomi phones that don't even locally sell here.

          Sorry but why does this change anything? This is imported stock from the UK (China is actually closer). Comparing imported stock to imported stock, that's fair.
          If you found it for $200 (or even +GST, $220) locally, I'd agree that's far better.

          Edit: BAND 28???? I take all I said back. This ain't bad for band 28 lovers.
          Locally, no benefit to band 28 (it's slower??) but for those who benefit, enjoy!

    • freefall101 on 26/08/2016 - 19:28
      +2

      it's nowhere near the issue of older phones. Stock android is pretty aggressive with parking apps in order to reduce power usage so you'll generally struggle to ever use over 3GB on a device (even if it has more).

      They key reason more RAM will be useful is with Android 7 and multitasking with multiple apps on the screen at the same time (thus why the Galaxy S7 with 4GB is kind of useful). Android 5 and 6 seems to have a target of 2GB so you're generally fine with a device like that.

      And I say generally because [url=http://www.theverge.com/2016/7/11/12147782/moto-g4-plus-review-android]the G4 is generally awful[/url] performance-wise and that has nothing to do with RAM. It's the overall terrible hardware they put in the thing. Even if it gets an Android 7 update it's probably going to be more terrible regardless of the amount of RAM you put in it.

      The redmi note 3 pro (snapdragon 616) actually has basically the same chipset as the moto g4 (snapdragon 617) on paper though a slightly older version which is only missing QC3.0.
