Moto G55 8g/256g $279 Worth Buying?

masterqur on 03/10/2025 - 22:52

I don’t want the 4GB RAM version—only the 8GB/256GB model (Germany/EU variant) https://www.amazon.com.au/Motorola-moto-16-5-6-49-Dual/dp/B0… .

Does this Germany version support eSIM in Australia?

Do you expect the price ($279) to drop soon?

Is $279 worth it, considering the 4g/128g version is around $190?

Thanks!

  I want an LCD display and a narrower phone—78 mm is too wide for me. That’s why I’m considering the G55, but unfortunately the local AU version only has 4g/128g available.

    LCD over AMOLED? Why?

      For eye comfort, OLED displays have PWM flicker. https://displayman.com/what-is-oled-flickering/ https://www.androidcentral.com/phones/what-is-pwm-display-fl…

  Thanks, but I want the size of G55, G56 is much wider.

  Isn't the chipset in the Samsung A36 much better PhoneNerd?

    Yes. I'm showing that the better and newer local model is cheaper than a G55 import
