    nokia 7 plus is a much better buy. It will actually get android updates and it has better build quality. It was on sale for like 380 recently

      Was it an AU Stock?

      G6 Plus comes with project treble support (Android 8.0), hence it will l receive the google updates too.

      • ozdesi on 04/07/2018 - 22:51

        it was not AU stock and it's silly to compare your deal with overseas stock

        don’t think the moto 6 is android one though …the nokia 7 plus is but still $600 for local stock….the moto x might be .

      • nathan-drake on 05/07/2018 - 00:03

        not official updates. project treble makes updates easier but doesnt force manufacturers to release them. "android one" forces them (nokia phones are android one and most have 8.1, whereas moto g5 plus is stuck on 7.1 lol).

          yeah, treble is just an abstraction layer in the architecture, if it’s android one, google can release updates for most of the OS, if the phone isn’t android one, they you are still dependent on the phone manufacturer for OS updates.

          Android one is what you want so you aren’t dependent on the phone manjfacturer for security patches and some parts of the OS updates.

        • nam on 05/07/2018 - 07:14

          You are right. Treble just makes it easier for manufacturers to manage updates. It's entirely up to device manufacturers to release them to end users.

    Wife as the G5 Plus and very impressed, very fast amazing battery life, amazing camera pictures and do things like turn the camera on by 2 twists of the phone or turn the torch on/off with 2 chops etc. Was under $300 with a recent deal - amazing value.
    G6 Plus should be much better than G5 Plus

    • nam on 04/07/2018 - 22:42

      Yea, G6 Plus has got Dual Lens setup for the rear camera like Moto X4. That's what I am after, with a budget phone price, for my wife to click photos of my baby. And Treble support compared to X4

    • nathan-drake on 05/07/2018 - 00:05

        LOLOLOL You want to make sure everyone with a Moto upgrades to a Nokia.

        I love them both, there are a few Moto's in my house hold and they have been great. I'm really glad Nokia is in the game now, both these companies are going to push each other and finally stock Android devices are becoming a norm!

        Looking forward to picking up a Nokia someday.

          yeah, motor have just announced another android one phone …..so looks like nokia and moto will need to compete on hardware costs and features as the software will be the same , android one …..

          xiaomi …..still waiting for them to have an android one phone with band 28 and nfc, nokia and moto already do.

          @garage sale:

          Yeah definitely, the more OEM's they jump onto the Android One bandwagon, the better for us. The mid range battle is definitely heating up as of late.

          Oh man if Xiaomi showed up to the party with their Android One phones and local retailers sold them for a decent amount, the market would forget about all the horrid skinned phones.

      • kakarot123 on 05/07/2018 - 22:03

        Nah it doesn't. I'm still running 7.0 LOL

    • Toothfairy0412 on 04/07/2018 - 23:07

      get the nokia 7plus. the larger battery size makes up for the slightly higher price tag.

      • garage sale on 04/07/2018 - 23:14

        nokia 7 plus for local stock is $600+

          433 $ on eglobal central and i think they have a 24 month warranty policy although it isnt local stock, but defs not a bad price for a solid phone

      hard to beat the moto g6 plus or moto x if budget is under $450, it has band 28 and nfc, and is local stock with au charger and warranty which a lot of chinese phones don’t if you need to import yourself at this price point.

      If you want a good update experience, get a Nokia. Even a 6.1 is comparable to this. https://www.jbhifi.com.au/phones/Outright-Mobile-Handsets/no…

      • madak on 05/07/2018 - 06:02
        +2

        Just wanted to mention that while I'm enjoying the stock feel/quick updates experience of the Nokia 6.1, in the period between the last two updates, I had to have 4G turned off to avoid spontaneous shut downs. A widespread issue, apparently some interaction between 4G and GPS caused it to go into panic mode or something. All good now with latest patch.

        Hopefully the time pressure to get system updates out for all Android One devices won't cause these issues too often in the future. The Treble modularisation of the OS sounds like a good idea - I would probably prefer that if the updates didn't lag too long behind the official ones, say two or three months. Sounds like it is longer than that?

          "madak" Had some update issues also having my update download paused and not resuming with both 4G/3G data and/or wifi giving some wifi notification. Seems common on google too.

          Can I ask what is the latest security update your on as my last update is uncertain??

          Mine is on 8.1.0 and security patch level 1 May here in Australia with an Optus sim.

          By the looks of it, it is people on Optus that still seem to be having issues. :-(

          Thanks for reply. Have the TA-1068 model here with 00WW_2_22A build and tonight tried updating with Kogan sim also with no luck. Read through your link a bit and others are on same 1 May update too.

          At least I have only had one of those shutdown reboot issues, but still not using it as main phone yet.

    • xuuj on 05/07/2018 - 07:09

    • norkle on 05/07/2018 - 09:18

      This is a decent Android phone in your budget. I believe most people would find it very good, comparable to phones twice it's price.

      Others on here are saying that there are others 'better', whether that's true or not is probably subjective and by small degrees.

      However iPhone users may experience bumps moving to Android, so you're best to make the decision carefully yourself.

    Nokia 6 2018 is specced the same but 1GB less ram and a 16:9 screen rather than 18:9. However it has a rear fingerprint scanner and nokia updates faster and longer than Motorola. The nokia 6 2018 is already on 8.1. It costs 399 without any deals or coupons at JB Hifi.

      Nokia 6.1 (aka 2018) has a combo sim2/micro sd tray

      Very true. I bought this ~1 month ago when I had issues with my previous phone for ~$450-460. Fortunately, the parcel got lost and I got a refund hahaha

  • DonWilson on 05/07/2018 - 00:44

    The G5S Plus for ~$265 from TGG recently with P20Good was better value. The improvements of the SD630 over the SD625 are pretty minor. Slightly better camera, slightly better bluetooth, slightly better USB, slightly better quickcharge, slightly better screen res, slightly better RAM, slightly better ROM.

    But this is a real solid option. If I hadn't gotten the G5S+ I'd probably get this.

    • JIMB0 on 05/07/2018 - 06:21

      • Zylam Marex on 05/07/2018 - 09:14

        LOL I feel betrayed.

    • TheOtherLeft on 05/07/2018 - 12:16
      +1

      I bought my wife the G5S Plus a few months ago. I bought the G6 Plus a few weeks ago for $450. The G6 Plus is better again then the G5S Plus. The camera is faster, which was a big complaint with the G5's. The G6 Plus is slightly bigger, but I can't really tell if the CPU is noticeably faster.

      Overall I rate the G6 Plus better.

      FWIW, I now refuse to buy from TGG ebay store after they stuffed up my order of a Hisense TV a few months ago. Their whole organisation is bloody useless especially with each store being franchised and separate to the ebay store. Essentially it's the whole left hand not talking to the right hand analogy. I complained to them but that went nowhere.

      • DonWilson on 07/07/2018 - 01:59
        +1

        The G6 Plus is unquestionably better in multiple aspects.

        The question is whether it's ~150% the price of the G5S Plus better.

        For most people I'd say it's not really a question, the G6 Plus is the better option. But for a stingy cheap bugger on OzBargain it's a conundrum.

  • Bargain-er on 05/07/2018 - 07:56

    I bought a moto x4 over G6+ for the "waterproof" and smaller factor. Just depends on what you want but the 2 phones are internally the same except camera.

    • nam on 05/07/2018 - 08:12

      If Australian X4 was Android One version, I would've definitely chosen X4 over GS+ as well. Unfortunately, Android One edition of X4 is not available in AU but in US.

    • norkle on 05/07/2018 - 10:34
      +2

      This moto, or the x4, or the Nokia's mentioned above, seem to be popular in this price range. Specs sometimes don't always help differentiate - the experience can vary due to the software, each of these are light on software so run well. Main differentiators seems to be camera (if photos are important for you), or regular updates to Android, or memory/storage options).

      • exc3113nce on 05/07/2018 - 12:52

        Camera, performance and large screen which seem to all point at the G6Plus

  • nickj on 05/07/2018 - 10:27

    Can someone please point me to where the bands are for this model? The eBay ad doesn't seem to list the bands, and even motorola's own Australian store doesn't list the bands: https://store.motorola.com.au/product/moto-g6-plus/

    GSM arena specs are here and it does list the bands for the Brazil and the Europe models: https://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_moto_g6_plus-9001.php … but it depends which model this is. In Australia for 4G you want bands: 28, 3, 7, 1, 40, 5. If it's the Brazil model it's missing band 40 (used by Optus at 43% of sites), and if it's the Europe model it's missing both band 40 and band 28 (used by Telstra at 62% of sites, and Optus at 83% of sites).

    So either this is a different model not listed on gsmarena, or it's missing 1 or 2 bands that it would ideally have (not fatal, just worth knowing), and/or I've just missed it listed somewhere and/or gsmarena is wrong.

    I was itching to buy one at work today, luckily I held off especially after seeing this video tonight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1dOnc4SuT0 (not a apple fan boi, but the Motorola could be improved heaps in the future possibly with custom roms, kernels & tweaks etc as development grows on XDA Developers Forum). If only the Nokia 7 plus local stock had a decent deal like the grey imports have. I know its not the Plus version of G6 but it got me thinking how much better without a custom kernel real world performance would be on a G6 Plus if it couldn't possibly handle the extra memory better on a stock kernel.
