    "One of the best value phones under $250"

    What are the others?

    I got one of these as a back up work phone. I don't know if all <$400 phones are like this but the battery life is horrendous. Doesn't even hold a charge for 2 days if i leave it in my bag (have checked the display settings and put them all on energy saving mode). Did anyone else get this problem or did i get a dud

    • marshmall0w2 on 24/07/2025 - 20:39

      My spare S20 base model can do up to 1 week with battery saver on.

    • killergreely on 25/07/2025 - 06:29

      Wife gets 2 to 3 days out of the battery and she's not holding back on the usage. You got a dud.

    • BillNinjaAustralia on 25/07/2025 - 16:33

      If left in a bag then it may have been continuously scanning for stronger signal

    G86 with massive battery just got announced, so they're clearing old stock LOL :

      The new G86 RRP is $100 more than the G85

      damn , that's a pretty darn big battery

    • Jaduqimon on 24/07/2025 - 20:57

      Fast charging these days makes these big batteries kinda niche… 2000mah more than standard batteries. Quick charging maybe 10mins will give u the same amount as an extra 2000mah.

      • shxhshzhz on 24/07/2025 - 21:02
        +1

        The G86 has a maximum 30W fast charge. The charging will be very slow for 6720mAh.

        • Jaduqimon on 24/07/2025 - 21:19

          yeh… niche product. if you really need long battery life and cant get access to a charger then a powerbank would be more versatile.

          • whyisave on 25/07/2025 - 01:00

            @Jaduqimon: For overseas travel purposes (via airports), make sure that powerbank is "CCC" certified.

      • nathan-drake on 24/07/2025 - 22:07

        I just like not being dependent on chargers. Quick charging isn't that healthy for the battery either because it generates more heat. But then again I'm a bit weird and OCD, so maybe it is niche

        • Jaduqimon on 24/07/2025 - 22:08

          i mean as long as you get through the day on 1 charge right? and if you are planing to go more than a day without charge, most likely travelling or like camping… then you would probably bring a powerbank.

          • nathan-drake on 24/07/2025 - 22:42

            @Jaduqimon: I like to only charge that phone to 80 percent and sometimes I game on the phone, so yeah I'm pretty niche haha, this phone is perfect for me

    • scalebearer on 24/07/2025 - 22:06

      That's interesting that they're releasing the Power variant of the G86 in Australia.

      The base G86 has a more standard sized battery (5.2 Ah).

      https://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_moto_g86_5g-13917.php

      Usually the Power variants are exclusive to poorer countries like India.

      This might also explain the price increase.
      It is ultimately a more premium product with that giant battery.

      • nathan-drake on 24/07/2025 - 22:08

        Yes agreed, and it's screen seems excellent

    • thekow on 25/07/2025 - 13:27

      i have the g84 i would hope the camera is better in the g86 i would maybe update

    • ab c on 27/07/2025 - 10:12

      When the convenience of FAST-charging is strong-> heat & higher-voltage charging (15W+ & 4.2V+) degrade battery FASTER…see AccuBattery-APP data for yourself. https://accubattery.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/210224725-…, https://batteryuniversity.com/article/bu-808-how-to-prolong-…

      I was using my phone outdoor @ 35°C & I saw battery-temp. @ 45°C…EV-cars never allow battery-temp to get this high. Maybe FACT-check your understanding?

      In the not-too-distance-future, maybe it's fashionable for-some to own a new-phone yearly.

    Not a great fan of curved displays on budget phones. Edge 50 neo is better during sales.

    • nathan-drake on 24/07/2025 - 22:08

      Yeah get that or wait for the g86 power

  • spicygastropod on 25/07/2025 - 03:20

    Any Android phones around this price that are smaller? Close to IPhone XS size (5.85” diagonal)?

    I want to be able to stick one in my running shorts and 6,67” won’t go in the tiny pockets.

    • ausremi on 25/07/2025 - 12:14

      Get some big boy shorts 😂

      Have you looked at running belts? I've used flipbelt air for 2 years now. Holds an S25 ultra sized phone comfortably. Don't even notice it's there. No bounce. Easy in and out. Good for carrying keys and gels etc.

      • spicygastropod on 25/07/2025 - 12:16

        Nah, the tiny splitties get me too much good attention to give them up. Maybe I can find some half-tights with a large phone pocket.

    • s1Lence on 28/07/2025 - 05:45

      I hold my G84 in my hand while running, anything over 6 inches is too big to fit in my shorts.

  • mitty on 25/07/2025 - 07:28

    What Android version/updates is this likely to get? Great price but I'd be a bit wary if it's only getting a year or two of updates.

  • Francis82 on 25/07/2025 - 08:15

    Is anyone having update issues with g85 ,seen some people online saying they haven't received android 15 update and still on 14,my pixel 6 is on 16

  • adante on 25/07/2025 - 09:37

    Having been burned by the G84 and the camera/5g issue, can I confirm this one doesn't have the same problem?

    • thekow on 25/07/2025 - 13:28

      I have camera issue but not the 5g issue i also hope so.

  • pork on 25/07/2025 - 09:45

    Reading this on my G82.

  • Bubbalicious on 25/07/2025 - 12:24

    Bargain phone, but be mindful repairing oled screens is pricey to repair and sourcing them out on ali Xpress is a nightmare compared to LCD, so do not drop this phone and crack the screen, as your better off just buying the phone again.

    Overall bargain, just wish it didn't have to water drop screen so tedious to repair when placing the screen over the camera.

    It has a curved screen+oled+water drop camera, I dunno what's worse detecting fake AI images or sourcing this type of screen out.

    SO do not drop this phone, get a heavy duty case, protector, hell buy two just incase.

    • nathan-drake on 25/07/2025 - 13:20

      Yeah maybe better to buy a flat screen phone eg Edge 50 neo or g86 power

    Thank you very much OP, made my day. Saved me a lot o money.
    Got the last Urban Grey from Officeworks with price match + 5% discount.

    I'm very pleased with the phone, overall it looks very nice.
    The screen is amazing and very responsive; battery charging is very quick.

    I can't fault the phone and for $227 its a real OZBargain.

    • bats0077 on 28/07/2025 - 20:51

      Can you attach the receipt photo please. I have been trying to get office works price match but they keep giving lame excuses 😕. Will visit in-store tomorrow

    Got this one for my dad as his S9+ battery just crapped out a couple days ago. The phone is very decent for the price, thanks for posting !

    It doesn't have 4 years of security updates.
    Android 14 has 20 months left based on 3.5 years from release date.

  • alx88 on 05/08/2025 - 13:39

    JB didn't price match. Said no stocks around

  • neonlight on 06/08/2025 - 23:39

    Not sure if this beats the last year deal Motorola G54 5G $149 JB hifi. That battery life is awesome better thns flagships 5/5 stellar

    It's $90 more but not sure you getting that much value

  • KrugerOz on 14/08/2025 - 00:30
