      G54 only comes in vegan leather in blue. The blue is the vegan leather (don't think there is a metallic-look blue that you could accidentally order)

    • Cousin IT on 11/01/2024 - 22:51

      The blue one is noted down as being vegan leather by Motorola.

          Old flagships better than newer budget and mid ranges. It’s like the tech has matured and the tech companies have hit a wall in innovation years ago?

          I don’t get the appeal with updating phone all the time nowadays. Even the $2000 ones hardly see a significant gain every 2nd generation now.

          Really the 7 to 8 years support the new pixels will be getting is what all flagship phones should be getting. Replacing phones every two to three years is dumb. The only thing that needs to be replaced is batteries. Hope EU forcing user replaceable batteries for phone makers back to having to do that on their phones.

          • JimmyChooz on 13/01/2024 - 10:09

            +2

            @Ronnnie: It would be nice if the phones could last as long as their hardware and mobile network allows rather than one being forced to upgrade due to the lack of security updates or minimum Android version requirements. Mandating that boot loader unlocking be available and having some process where custom roms can still pass Play Protect would be good. It's unfair that all the open source the manufacturers paid nothing for is rendered closed by proprietary measures and secret/undocumented device specifications.

        It's a strange world we live in. I personally know of so many people that blindly drop more than a grand on the latest iphone every 2-3 years without batting an eyelid. I see the flagships retail at about $2k now. Crazy money.

          I try to keep it around $600 every 2 years. Each year goes up $50 so next phone will be $700, they're slowly conditioning us to spend more each year.

          Yes upgrading every couple of years is dumb

          Hugh Jefferies did a comparison between the iPhone 15 pro vs 5 and the 5 can still win in speed test.

          https://youtu.be/PuoqjKDjNT4?si=ol6lym1KRj6KRCvk

          It seems Motorola strategy of not updating their phones for long is potentially a good strategy is you care about performance long term. Might not be good for app compatibility and security longterm though.

          My aim is to spend less than $100 a year on phone hardware. Easily done on ozbargain deals. The pixels and the A series phones offer the best bang for buck longterm if you want a phone that is still supported with regular updates. If you don’t care about that then probably one of the midrange Motorola will give you better specs for your $ but lose out on support and cameras. Which I personally value but others may not.

        • Ulysses31 on 13/01/2024 - 22:39

          Dude, don't look at MacBook pros then. The Mrs needs a new work one, and her boss it ready to spend $4k+ on one, no second thought. No brains, just spend.

          • Windows7forever on 15/01/2024 - 08:24

            @Ulysses31: If the boss is paying then let him go crazy and buy what she wants. I'm not on a high income so I can't spend that sort of money on depreciating tech. If you want/need the latest and greatest, can afford it, and have some clever tax write-off mechanism then go for it I say!

            • Ulysses31 on 15/01/2024 - 15:05

              @Windows7forever: I've done similar before, and when things went quiet, I was in the first batch of people let go, with a "we can't afford you/your cost to the business".

      It’s a good phone but there’s been previous deals for G84 with the JB Gift card which brings it around this price so I’d say that would be a better replacement for your OP8 pro.

        I have G84 and I definitely think its worth the full price of $399.
        But yeah it has been much cheaper than $399 on here.
        But just from the perspective of having used it for more than 1 month now - it feels like its worth double the $400 MSRP to me - at least!
        The OLED screen is gorgeous and the Snapdragon 695 is just fast enough when combined with the 12GB RAM to avoid frustration.

    • sackrace on 13/01/2024 - 14:43

      A few reviews I've seen have put the G54 at such good value it undermines the G84. I think GPU performance is the only metric that is compellingly in the G84's favour.

      • bobokingdom on 15/01/2024 - 11:54

        G84 has 256GB (compare to 128GB on G54) of storage, OLED Screen, 12GB RAM (compare to 8GB on G54). G84 also has Snapdragon which most likely will have better 5G connectivity/speed than MediaTek.

    Motorola phones are easily the best value Android phones.

    When an Android user, my favourite features were the twist action to open camera and double chop to turn on torch.

    AND they retain the headphone port, the absence of which remains my biggest grievance against device manufacturers. "Courage" pfffft more like Bluetooth headphones have higher margins and Apple had bought a headphone company (Beats) the year before…

      Bluetooth earphones are convenient but I still appreciate having the option to plug in an old pair of corded ones. Ultimately everything with a lithium battery inside it has a finite lifespan.

        • lookingforadeal7 on 12/01/2024 - 13:58

      • ruthlesskid on 12/01/2024 - 13:53

        Agree that Pixel 7 is close, not a fan of Samsung processors and smalllish battery. The video footage on pixels also left much to be desired.
        IMO if Zenfone 10 has a bigger battery and 3 years of OS support and can starts at $1000 RRP with $600 on discounts it would be the dream

      I was checking the same thing. What I noticed is that the Overseas Market such as India , comes with 12GB RAM + 256gb ROM and has 6000mah battery. The one we are getting is 8GB +128GB and has a 5000mah battery.

      I grabbed this one from a previous Ozbargain deal at Xmas. Australian retailers are stocking the Chinese version with 5000mah battery and IPS screen, which is a bummer only if you pay more that $250 for it.

      I would expect the camera and screen to be considerably worse. Performance might be similar depending what you do on your phone, worse I guess if you play games on your phone. Battery life to be better, new larger capacity battery with lower end specs usually means great battery life. Software support probably similar with this budget model vs old flagship. I personally view it more like a down/sidegrade depending on what you value in a phone.

    Loved my Samsungs till I tried Motorola , Samsung isn’t offering much choice these days model after model seem same big sizes. I’m using a Neo30 presently and love it so lightweight and does what I need . My previous was S21 Samsung but as I said now to large 6.7 etc, and not paying $1300 for a flagship S23 doesn’t seem big prefer S22 not sure why ? maybe the build or bezels on S22 if I ever went back to Samsung . But the Neo 30 for $299 is Amazing value. I’m not all about photos either so camera isn’t a dealbreaker.

      • branners on 14/01/2024 - 10:52

        I have Motorola Edge 20 Fusion and a Google Pixel 4a.
        The images that come out of the Pixel are mostly better and clearly, you can do a fair bit more with them with the built-in editing software.
        But the ones I take on the Moto are pretty close in some conditions (under medium light and so on) plus the Moto has a wide-angle lens, which I think is more useful than a telephoto most of the time.

  • dudebargain on 13/01/2024 - 11:28

    • hydraxan on 14/01/2024 - 13:59

      I would assume that it doesn't - as far as I know, the only phones which have AOD are those with OLED panels and this has an IPS.

      From what I understand, this MediaTek (Density 7020) chip performances slightly better than the equivalent Snapdragon 695 processor.

      • Windows7forever on 15/01/2024 - 08:28

        Interesting. In theory, the specs of the G54 should trump the G82 because of the additional 2GB RAM. The G82 uses the Snapdragon 695 processor. I don't know much about Mediatek processors but I always thought Snapdragon were superior and had bettery battery optimisation. If you can get this phone via local stock with warranty for $200 it would be the perfect deal.

Not that we use it, but there's a fingerprint sensor in the power button too. Only thing I could think of that is missing is wireless charging, but we don't need that.
