  • Got my G86 for $250 and it's undoubtedly the best bang for buck phone I have ever purchased. I'm waiting for the Signature to drop in price to use this as a backup. Never paying exorbitant prices for flagship phones again.

    • The 2 years update is what stopped me

      • At this price, it wasn't even a deciding factor for me.

      • 2 years and 10 months of updates remaining. OK for a budget Motorola phone at this price.

      • Isn't two years enough? How long do you expect to keep a phone before the battery starts dying or you break the sceen? The longest I had a phone for was about 2 and a half years. At this price point, just factor in two years and then buy a newer faster one for the same price. Only sheep keep talking about updates as if they matter. If they wanna hack you, they will, even if you have the latest updates. And, let's face it. They won't even hack you. They will hack your bank. So all your latest updates are useless anyway. Been hacked 4 times through my bank in the last 2 years. My phone has the latest updates. Phone doesn't matter.

        • Through your bank? What does that even mean?

          • @justtoreply: my guess is scammers pretending to be from his bank

        • Moto g86 power has like a 6800mah battery so even after 3 years of degradation it'll still have more capacity than my poco x3 NFC new (and I had that for 4 years before battery was a mild concern)

        • My Oppo is six years old, I still can do a full day before recharging at night

        • My Samsung A21s battery is still going strong after 5 or 6 years. No broken screen either, touchwood.

        • My Samsung Galaxy A21s ive had for over 5 years battery is still as good as new. Ive never had a phone for less than 4 years.

        • Funny, my Motorola sensitivity levels are being hacked … On multiple devices with older one without updates anymore being most affected. Hence my interest in updates and security updates.

          P.S. I also am not made of money.

        • If you've been hacked 4 times in 2 years, you would have to start wondering if you're the security flaw.

      • Buy another Android phone in 2 years time. Even that means 36.84 cents per day. Compared to iPhone 17e, you need to use it for 7.4 years.

        • I agree, I got this on black friday deal last year from TGG for around $210 (those were the days) , battery is awesome (2 days with viewign a alot of videos etc)
          Jsut get another moto when available at the lowest price which is sually around black friday

    • Is your mobile G86 power?

      • Sure is.

  • Does this have a 3.5 mm audio jack? Can't see on the specs or images.

    • G86 doesnt have

      • This will be an issue unfortunately unless USB C cable headphones. Big battery but can't charge and listen.

        Previous $299 which links to $232 deal with info and updates to 17 plus security updates:

        • Just get a wireless earphone

        • grab a usb c to 3.5 and usb c and leave it plugged into the headphones

          • @AH: That is a good idea. Just bookmarked one on AliExpress from Baesus, supposedly charges to 60 w and can add 3.5mm headphones.

        • True, I got this but mostly just use bluetooth buds anyway.

          https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0CJXWJ596

          • @mayo: I have both. I have never used the buds nor will I. Got them for free with the g75. Still won't use them. Another thing to charge at all times. Not worth it.

    • Most modern phones don't come with audio jacks anymore

      • And if they were, a second USB-C port with USB-C headphones would still be preferable.

      • Just ordered a new battery for my 6 year old Xiaomi Mi 9T because it has a headphone jack. Long live the jack.

    • Moto G84 if you can find one is better

      has headphone jack

  • How do these compare to the Pixel range?

    • I'm waiting to see if i can get the Google Pixel 10 Pro for $900~ when the 11 pro launches.

      I'd rather spend the extra $300 and get way better in every aspect over the Edge 70.

      If i can't, then i just keep waiting and hold onto my Motorola edge 30 fusion for an amazing deal.

      • Optus were selling it for half price (albeit on a plan).

    • I just moved from the Pixel 7 to G86 Power:
      Battery life is massively improved.
      Speed is slight reduction (not enough to actually cause any issue).
      Camera is a downgrade (still fine, just not as good).
      Otherwise happy with the switch.

      • Similarly, I went from pixel 6 to Edge 60 pro. She was holding on for dear life but the pixel's battery was the biggest deal breaker in the end. Less than 24hr charge per day and lagging badly. She was an old dog that had to be put down

        I'm super happy with my Moto choice. I even picked it over the 70 pro. The battery life is great, I'm happy with the camera and storage. It had better specs than the new pro model and no annoying Pantone logo.

  • I didn't know IP69 was a water/ dust resistant score.

    • It's from the Motorola website specifications

      • Whoosh 😅

    • Do you need 2 phones to test if its actually IP 69??

      • I mean, how else would you do it?

        • I could send you pictures, but I don't want put on another list.

  • MT70AU26 didnt work for me for Edge 70

    • wait a second after you apply the code

    • It works

  • The G86 is really good. Got one last year when it was $210

    • Yeah I'm in teh same club, I thought alot before hittign the button that it might get lower :) was one the greatest bargain

  • Edge 70 - 8Gb is a little disappointing for a flagship-adjacent phone with 4? android updates, though it does have wireless charging (15w), which if you need it, makes the $539 price great value.

    • It's a nice phone in the hand with the slim design, camera is decent but it's really more midrange in the edge series rather than being close to flagship, with the Edge 70 Max, 70 Pro & 70 Pro+ all above it though they probably won't get released in Australia.

      The retail pricing sucks and pushes it up towards the lower end flagship phones before any discounts but is that a consequence of having the slim design or just Motorola being greedy.
      Edge 70 should really have been around $699 retail, which is still higher than standard pricing in India.

      • I always thought of the Edge Pros as the flagship, albeit de facto status in au, with the Siggys being more of a tech showcase model than a top seller.

        Though yes, I agree, a $900 street price for the Edge 70 definitely carries certain expectations!

        • I would be tempted to get the Signature if a decent deal came up, $999 at JB next week but still bit much for me!

          • @CheapGit: Similar. $800 for the Signature and I would most likely buy one:)

  • How many OS upgrades for G86?

    • Android 17 is the final OS.

    • Does it REALLY matter? Can you tell any difference between 17 and 14 for example? Even 12?

      • Sounds like you're still using Windows ME….🤔

      • Yeah honestly we just got "Biggest" android update ever. Same shit.

      • Security wise, yes.

  • Anyone have experience with g84 to g86 upgrade, is it worth it? I would normally wait until next year or so but with ram and storage prices exploding I'm wondering if this is the last opportunity to buy something like this at this price, like the g87 might never get so low…

    • I am about to have this experience as sadly had some sort of issue with my G84. Love the phone but now it keeps randomly turning off on me for no apparent reason. Been struggling on with it for a while waiting for a good price on G86 when i saw this just now.

  • got this last year for literally $210 @ TGG.. it had bunch of coupons and offers though

    • used perplixity Pro for3 months, was great using it to poston market place where it fills up everything and browse through amazon listings

  • How does the 86 compare to the 54? Worth upgrading?

    • Much better

  • Any good phone for $100?

    • Yeah, a burner.

    • Some basic Motorola are just over $100

    • Samsung A15 5G 4GB/128GB $119

  • Can you price match at OW?

    • No

      • Why not? Maybe not the coupon price but the list price should be okay no?

        • Officeworks does not beat coupon prices. Beating the list price ($1047 Edge 70 or $299 G86) by 5% is pointless

          • @shxhshzhz: Point would be to get it quicker than getting it delivered. Plus using officeworks gift cards if you have them for further discount.

    • Tell em you can get the phone cheaper, see what they say…

  • G86 Power is a bargain for this price.

  • Many thanks Mobileciti been waiting for a good special on G86 and cant wait to receive it!

  • Anyone who has a G86 Power can confirm if the device works with a 2TB microSD card with no issues?

  • G86 should come down more, what do we think?

  • I've had my g86 now for over 12 months, after the screen on my S21+ started to play up.

    The bargain price of the g86 seemed too good to ignore! Also, the battery life!

    But… I've since realised that I took the S21+ camera quality for granted. The Motorola g86 camera is really bad in comparison. I have not taken many photos with my g86, but with the S21+, I would take pics regularly.

    • Yep, camera is definately a weakness. It's not terrible but it's not great either, just does okay - if you lower expectations. Can't have everything at this price point unfortunately.

    • Obviously with the lower price they have to pick and choose where to spend money on at Motorola; so most people understand Motorola excels in battery and OS and maybe not so much in the camera area! Your S21+ probably retailed at 3x the price of this!!

  • G86 slightly cheaper ($250 after CB) at Everyday Market with 25% cashback at TopCashback (cap at $50)

    Purple

    Dark Blue

  • 🤞mobileciti cash back give me ~20% please 🙏with TCB

  • Right on queue - literally ordered a g86 from TGG corporate yesterday for $410 as an upcoming bday gift. Sigh

    • Please hand in your OzB membership.

      • I don't think that is severe enough punishment to be fair

  • I paid $209 last year for one of these and it's been fantastic. Really makes you wonder how Moto make any money off them, or conversely how much money the others are making with their huge RRPs.

  • Thanks OP. My G84 has been playing up and then I cracked the screen, so this is good timing.
    GoodGuys had it at $287 and I had a $40 voucher that was about to expire so grabbed one of them.

    • What was your G84 doing before the screen cracked?

      • Camera had heaps of issues, would not focus and often crash. Started to randomly drop audio during calls too. Partner has the same phone and has had zero issues. I've got close to three years out of it and didn't pay much for it so can't complain.

  • Anyone have thoughts on G86 vs S25FE? Given the Moto is roughly half price, does the Samsung phone offer much more?

    Use case is phone calls, social media doom scrolling, occasional YT videos and personal photos.
