Shopping for a white phone for the wife found this current deal.

$479 delivered down from $600. Moto Z Play Australian stock with band 28 and soon to be upgraded to 7.1 Android.

5.5" AMOLED Android phone, front finger print scanner, USB C, NFC and yes a headphone port. Best of all though a massive battery life.

Bit more expensive then grey imports but local stock.

      Not really comparable as this is a China phone from a questionable overseas retailer. Way better spec though if your game.

      Nice phone but no band 28 and no local warranty.

  • Matt86 on 27/08/2017 - 14:20

    This or the Axxon 7? Really stuck, my Nexus 5x has been playing up for some time.. Needs more RAM really.

    • Danthemanz on 27/08/2017 - 14:58
      +3

      Axon 7 is a high end device, the Z play is mid range.
      Basically half the cpu performance.

      • Matt86 on 27/08/2017 - 15:30
        +1

        Yep, did some quick research and bit the bullet for the $499 Axon 7 at JB HI Fi.

        $508 shipped or something, looks to be amazing.

        Will be selling my 5x soon! Want to keep it but not worth keeping.. Haha

        Thanks for the input, do appreciate it!

        • QuicheLorraine on 27/08/2017 - 15:58
          +2

          Good choice. I did a bunch of research and narrowed it down to the Z Play, Z2 Play and Axon 7 and ended up going for the Axon 7. Better screen, daydream compatible, dual speakers, they cover you for accidental screen breakage for 2 years. I also found the warranty better as well. Any issues with your ZTE device, you send it to ZTE office in Melbourne. For Motorola phones, looks as though you send it to an authorised 3rd party warranty centre, the only outlet of which is in Sydney.

        • daleroy1234 on 27/08/2017 - 16:30

          I got the HTC 10 for $499, probably pretty close between that and the Axon 7?

    • RI4V4N on 28/08/2017 - 11:17

      Motos run Pure droid. Closest thing to a nexus that isn't a nexus (or a pixel).

      • Matt86 on 06/09/2017 - 21:30

        That's what made me lean towards the Motorola..

        Ended up putting Lineage OS + rooting my Axon 7. My 5 and 5x had root access (later on in their life cycles) and it was great.

        Overall really happy, the speakers aren't quite as good as the stock ROM for some reason, but the headphones are.

        I also had some weird issue with YouTube, but just reinstalled gapps and it fixed it.

        Would suggest if you are looking at custom ROM's/rooting

  • Danthemanz on 27/08/2017 - 14:38

    You can get the full powered non play for basically the same price from HK if you are ok with that.

  • Simoneister on 27/08/2017 - 15:09

    I'd probably go for the Moto G5+ instead, currently $350 at JB HiFi I think? Basically the same specs, just can't do Moto Mods.

    • Rodo on 27/08/2017 - 15:52
      -4

      I have the G5+. It lacks a GPS. A few times I have wanted to use a GPS as some apps require it (e.g., astronomy apps). I am still happy with the G5+ but if I had my time over I would probably have bought the Z Play.

      • ozhunter68 on 27/08/2017 - 16:15

        no digital compass for the G5+, but a lot cheaper if compass not needed and happy with 16GB memory for local $349 stock.

      • Agret on 27/08/2017 - 16:16

        No GPS? That's ludicrous

      • potus on 27/08/2017 - 17:08

        Of course it has a gps, they even say so on their web site.

      • Asx10000 on 27/08/2017 - 19:24

        you would need to give permission of location to your "some apps"….

      • Rodo on 28/08/2017 - 00:02

        Oops mistake, said GPS when I should have said compass. What I said refers to compass.

    • Danthemanz on 27/08/2017 - 17:25

      The bigger AMOLED screen is better on the Z, assuming you can do the larger size.
      I got a G5+ for my mum, fantastic value phone, just a little big for the screen size if I was to nitpick.

  • Patman on 27/08/2017 - 15:20

    Rather wait a couple of days for Oneplus 5?

    • JimmyF on 27/08/2017 - 20:17

      but not at the same price?

      • phor8 on 28/08/2017 - 15:41

        Not far off it tho it seems

        • JimmyF on 28/08/2017 - 15:56

          o.O ummm ok.

          $479 delivered vs $599 (plus postage)

        • phor8 on 28/08/2017 - 20:34

          @JimmyF:
          closer to $523.95 posted ($416.00usd), only about 50 bucks more than this, grey import but still close enough price to make the comparison especially considering the moto z play is often being compared to the oneplus 3 from 2 gens ago
          https://www.joybuy.com/600116526.html

        • JimmyF on 28/08/2017 - 20:46

          @phor8: To compare an apple an apple and as part of the THREAD you're replying to saying OP5 is coming to OZ, we are comparing Australian OP5 vs Australian Moto Z Play.

          Anyhow for $75, its most likely worth buying aussie stock to get 2 years warranty.

  • daft009 on 27/08/2017 - 16:41

    The main highlights for this phone are:

    Dual SIM + dedicated memory card slot
    Stock Android
    Awesome 2-3 day battery life.

    Yes there are better phones for the price but when you bring the above factors into consideration it's a tough call to beat the z play

  • geeluv on 27/08/2017 - 16:46

    This or the oneplus 5?

    • Danthemanz on 27/08/2017 - 17:26

      Hmm, current high end phone or last year's mid range?
      If you can't answer this you have problems.

  • dontpanic on 27/08/2017 - 16:54

    My housemate has this phone. Very snappy, almost stock Android experience and incredible battery life. The only downside is the camera - it's average compared to the flagships.

    If you value battery life, it's the phone to get.

    If you want a better camera at a similar price (local warranty) then the OP5 (once they start selling direct here) might be the way to go. Or a LG G6 if you're prepared to do a grey import.

  • ajGold on 27/08/2017 - 17:49

    Posting from one of these. It's already received the 7.1.1 upgrade. Apparently Moto will be taking it to 8 (Oreo). Great phone if you like near-stock Android.

    And seriously, the battery life is outstanding. Battery Saver has kicked in maybe 2 or 3 times in the ~9 months I've owned it.

  • JDogg1329 on 27/08/2017 - 17:53

    Z Play is a great phone, performance is super snappy and battery life is amazing (I sold my Nexus 6P and bought one from officeworks for $450) highly recommend

  • nydc123 on 27/08/2017 - 18:39

    this or Mi Note 2?

    • sharky_k on 28/08/2017 - 19:39

      Mi Note 2 has much better specs, however standard version has no band 28. The is a global version with band 28 but it costs a hefty premium.

  • netpenthe on 27/08/2017 - 18:42

    I have this phone

    It's good

    Best thing is I basically never worry about charging it. Can go two days without charge with heavyish use

    Previously had redmi 4s, Nokia 920,Sony z compact…. This is a better phone than them.

    I'd get local au version but that's cos I'm tired of flashing ROMs etc

    I'd get case cos bigger phone .. easier to drop

  • LYRICALRAVER on 27/08/2017 - 20:13

    is this phone really worth $479? that's quite a big markup for a non-standard flagship phone isnt' it?

    • daft009 on 27/08/2017 - 21:14

      Depends on your needs, for me yes. Better than the flagships

    • masadav on 27/08/2017 - 21:39

      You can get it much closer to $400 for grey import.

  • paloverde88 on 27/08/2017 - 22:05

    Forever Lollipop no Nougat.

  • daft009 on 28/08/2017 - 11:16

    is it just me or the moto store went down?

    EDIT: working again and ordered! :D

  • phor8 on 28/08/2017 - 13:00

    So if I buy this from moto for 479, apart from local stock and warranty (how long is warranty?)
    Will every thing be the same from the grey imports for 380 Kogan or 315 from gearbest?

    Will software be the same? These seem pretty reliable so may never need warranty

    • ajGold on 28/08/2017 - 14:24

      The only thing that I noticed is Kogan don't seem to list band 28 in the 4G specs. Minor issue if that's the case, but it could be a consideration if you travel to rural/regional areas.
