First post so please be gentle.

Looking to get cheap second phone for research purposes :wink :wink and stumbled upon this gorgeous 'Magenta' phone although limited in Sydney area.

Good review by Techsprut. Upper middle tier Android phone under $300. Paid with some gift card I have collected and got $100 gift card back :)

Edit:
(Personal opinion below)

Good things:
Absolute nice colour (Magenta) with nice touch of leather.
External memory (!)
Jack port (!)
12/256.
OLED up to 120hz.
Free case AND 33w adapter yay.
Okay front + rear camera.
why this thing so light?

    Good specs phone with really good price apart from Snapdragon695 processor which is limited to 1080p video recording only. I think if someone is buying any phone keeps atleast around 2 years should have 4k video recording. But again , everyone's requirement is different. To me it's the only downside along with avg camera quality otherwise good value for the price.

    When my Pixel 4 stopped working (cracked screen), I bought a $300 Motorola Edge 30. I like it, it's still going strong and I haven't switched back to a Pixel yet. Instead of a cracked screen, the whole phone is bent now but still works and no screen damage. Edit G84 specs

  • Jklaro on 13/12/2023 - 16:33

    This or a54

      • TiredKitty78 on 16/12/2023 - 16:37

        Link suggests a54 by a long mile, so if op can get it on special….
        But apart from the a54 having esim, the rest is honestly probably just superficial bs manufacturers are always changing to justify selling you new products.

        So with the fact it's on sale, and the gift card, it is definitely better value like u/stephendt said.

        • syswong on 16/12/2023 - 18:25

          It is way ahead, hardware, software, camera system, services etc wins by a mile. Cheapest I have seen A54 is $429. Is all these worth $150 extra? I say yes but those who jump on this deal likely say no.

          • TiredKitty78 on 17/12/2023 - 16:18

            @syswong: Hey, i'm more techy then most, and even i have to caution myself that no, i probably do not need the better camera/bluetooth/wifi realistically. Most people i think are fine as long as it's 'new' and will do what they want, or maybe that one thing they've seen somebody else's phone do. Which might be why they'd be extremely ok with the Moto g84.

            • syswong on 17/12/2023 - 21:45

              @TiredKitty78: I have order the G84 and setup for my friend (who is also only looking at the dollar sign).

              For $150, getting better camera (not just a telephoto lens), better customer / RMA services, better software update / support,l, faster processor ( not fast enough) is 100% worth the extra.

              With all the information that we store in smartphone these days, don't know why people underestimate the pitfalls of using poorly support smartphones. I am not saying people should get the latest best phone, but definitely need to get a phone from a well supported brand with track record

            @afoveht: Or how long have they been alive. I don't consider myself old but between me and my family it's ridiculous the number of phones, laptops and tablets we've gone through.

            USB charging has certainly gone kaput on a few of these, even my own devices which I think get treated very well. I definitely rate wireless charging highly on my list of requirements because of it.

            Sadly the last phone which exhibited problems charging stopped wireless charging a few months earlier (so perhaps the problem was the battery). But I suppose it gave me the opportunity of a few months to replace it once one of the charging mechanisms broke. It's a LG G8S - I'm still considering replacing modular parts for fun but perhaps not worth the effort.

          Its not just that.. it renders the phone unusable ( e.g.. suppose you had 20% battery left ,, the count down begins) .. at least if you had wireless you could still charge it… whereas you can't if the port is damaged.

          • Nom on 13/12/2023 - 20:52

            @wchau: Why are you trying to use a phone without backups ?!
            Setup SMS Backup & Restore to take nightly backups of your Call Log + SMS + MMS to Google Drive, and use Google Photos or Microsoft OneDrive to automatically upload all your photos to the cloud.
            WhatsApp already does automatic backups to your Google storage, and your Contacts/Calendar/Email should already be stored in the cloud.

            If you break your phone, you just need to restore your backups onto the replacement phone. It shouldn't be a big deal.

              @Nom: This isn't about me and what I do, its for the collective.
              Do you honestly think everyone is like you and everyone is IT literate to do the things you say? I don't think so.
              Its similar to your computer, does everyone take backups daily of their Hard drives?.. does everyone know how to setup a daily backup on their PCs to do this? Does everyone backup in the cloud, do people trust the cloud? Does everyone have Google storage?, sorry to say but you can't group everyone to be as diligent and a know how.

              Sure replacing a phone isn't a big deal, no one said this.. but you have to replace the phone, if it had wireless charging you could keep on using it.
