    • Noddy Doldrums on 20/10/2023 - 18:54

      Would it be better than my Note 10+.

      Even if its somewhat close would be fine. I don't use the pen so dont worry bout that part.

        • dottjt on 21/10/2023 - 00:47

          My Note 10+ is only 6GB ram, so not all configurations are 12GB

          • bigbadboogieman on 21/10/2023 - 01:29

            @dottjt: Are you sure yours is a Note 10 "plus"?
            Last I checked all Plus models had 12 GB ram. Different processors though but always 12 GB ram.
            Note 10 Lite has 6 or 8 GB. Note 10 has 8 or 12 GB. Note 10 Plus only has 12 GB.

    • pankbiet on 21/10/2023 - 08:20

      Looking at it but has got no fingerprint or face unlock.
      Still a good buy. Has all I wanted. 5000mh battery and expandable storage.
      Comparing it with my Moto G82.
      Chipset, OLED screen and fingerprint sensor are the only thing between this and G82.

      Definitely not better than Neo, as Neo has Snapdragon 695, 65W Charging, Amoled screen. They are not in the same range, Neo is Edge
      Range and this is mid G range. There is no guarantee Lenovo will ever update this to the next OS or when the security update will stop for this model. Anyway, Neo is out of stock, will need to look forward…..

    • bobokingdom on 21/10/2023 - 10:26

      This is G series, you may need to wait until May 2024 to get Android 14. It looks like the next G55 will be released by then (it is on a 6 to 9 months release cycle) and it will say it fixes all the issues that G54 has… (Like slow GPU of the Mediatek 7020 and back to Snapdragon again)

      Mediatek 7020 GPU/floating point performance is like half the speed of SD695.

      • justtoreply on 21/10/2023 - 22:31

        Probably security. I don't see it as much else. Googles stock apps are all amazingly bad. Chrome, clock, contacts.. I don't know how they get it so wrong

          3 years security updates, and 3 years is all I expect from a sub 300 dollar phone.

          I prefer to buy these cheapies and then upgrade every 2 to 3 years, and if you break a phone not much lost.

  • Ezekiel2320 on 20/10/2023 - 16:43

    I JUST dropped the hammer on a TCL 20 Pro for the same price and now this finally comes out.

    The moto doesn't have wireless charging which sucks, will be interesting to see the camera benchmarks but apparently it's the same quality as before (not very good). The TCL got extremely high marks for camera

    • seamonkey on 20/10/2023 - 16:48

      The TCL 20 Pro 5G with it's specs and AMOLED screen is a better buy at this price imo. My partner and I have been rocking the TCL 20 Pro 5Gs for over a year now and we can't fault it. I wouldn't say we're super-users using our phones for vlogging or anything like that, but for calls, videos, browsing, some games, NFC and wireless charging, it's exceeded expectations (the screen is beautiful imo). The only issue I've ever had is trying to communicate with the support team over a compatibility query.

      • TiredKitty78 on 20/10/2023 - 18:55

        Never really heard of TLC as a brand, but Jbhifi stocks them, so they must be decent right?

          They make decent TVs, good screens, decent price for decent OLED/AMOLEDs. The screen quality is what drew us to the TCLs and they've been good. TCL though, not TLC.

        Great to hear. It was the only phone that wasn't a downgrade in features from my current LG V30, (3.5mm, microSD, NFC, wireless charging) other than $1500 Xperia's (been there done that, won't buy "premium" phones any more)

        • lulzenberg on 21/10/2023 - 12:05

          It's also got an IR blaster, great for when you can't find the remote or want to turn the TV/AC on (in your house only of course.. I definitely don't use this at the doctors/hospital or anything like that) and can't find the remote.

      • dottjt on 21/10/2023 - 00:51

        • onover on 20/10/2023 - 17:04
          +3

          The recently released Pixel 8 Pro is around $1699 at full price, but there's a lot of different bundle offers going on right now.

          I suggest checking out Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree to see if there's anyone seling their Pixel 8 Pro for a good price, under $1200. Harvey Norman recently had a deal where you could get the Pixel 8 Pro included on Optus' $69 mobile plan for 24 months (or $99 with the included Watch 2) so I'd expect many people purchased the phone + contract and just sold off the phone itself.

          Otherwise, we often get similar deals around the end of November so if you're happy to wait until then, that's when I'd look into phone options again.

            @onover: I just managed to convince someone to do it new 2nd hand for $1200, would that be good enough you think? Or should I wait for a deal online (happy to wait)

            • onover on 20/10/2023 - 22:17

              @dottjt: If you're happy with $1200 then go for it. They're pretty good phones, though the processor is a bit weak for the price point. But, check out the camera and photo editing capabilities first.

              100% up to you, but I'd wait to see what crops up in November/early December in the lead up to Christmas and with Black Friday/Cyber Monday.

              • neonlight on 22/10/2023 - 09:51

                @onover: It's not possible to get that phone during any sales in 2023 under 1.2k. A $400 discount within two months it's a impossible ask while it's a flagship just release weeks ago.

                Scalpers are doing this to the phone around $850 and resale for $1200 for profit.

    • Ronnnie on 20/10/2023 - 19:20

      At this price point I don’t think people care about software support. They just use the phone for a couple years and move on to the next $300 model. Rinse and repeat

      With phone like the pixel offering 7 years of support though, they will become potentially a better value option in the future. Just think a refurbished pixel 8 in two years will be competing against the cheaper Android OEMs with their 2-3 years of support, poor cameras and so on. So either Android OEMs up their game. Maybe by then Motorola will have phones with a camera comparable to pixels and software support for 5 years at ~$500 price on sale. Who knows lol

      • kungfuman on 20/10/2023 - 22:19

        You don’t care about software but people do care about software updates getting the latest feature and security updates. Because mailware on android phones is a thing, security is critical. Every phone regardless of price should have free software updates.

  • bobokingdom on 20/10/2023 - 17:01

    At this price point, maybe a Nokia G60 (LCD) for $350 on eBay or X30 for $4xx on JB. Guaranteed monthly security updates and OS updates for the next 2 years. G60 had earphones jack too….. (I really like wired headphones as i lost countless or war buds in the past 12 months). The built quality of Nokia is great but it is heavier than Motorola.

        I can still see it when I searched for Nokia G60 and it seems to have $20 using the code listed above. (My wife wants a LCD because she gets headache with OLED for some reasons. She also wants a headphone jack as she also lost a few ear buds.)

              @abctoz: I’m not interested in an iPhone 8. That’s wasting money at this point. But just about any $200 phone can run twitter and any of those social media apps you waste you time on. Those mobile apps aren’t that taxing on any hardware in 2023. And if you actually did use your phone for more taxing applications then I’m sure iPhone 8 is probably no faster than this hardware. Even if some synthetic benchmarks say it is. And you will face more limitations on iPhone thanks to the iOS walled gardens approach.
