Moto G Deals & Offers

Kefan77 as you can see makes more than 0 sense and you got your reply (y)

Dude, calm down. I'm just pointing out there's great spec phones, sim free, direct from the Motorola UK site. I never said your deal was ****. People regularly post alternative deals as suggestions, I'm just doing the same. Relax, mate.

That's something that he needs to reply to you on Brother. That doesn't negate the fact that your comment didn't make sense hence the reason I called you out on it as accuracy is important for both me and other readers. I'm sure you'll agree?

why is he then mentioning moto E? how is that relevant? I don't comment around in iphone X deals how i got SE for 200...

Sorry Bro but if you read Shinobei comment he is referring to the E4. Maybe he is mentioning it as an alternative value for money phone in the range. Your comment is redundant buddy (y)

Has anyone managed to get a memory card to work in the G5? I have an English G5, and bought a Sandisk 128Gb class 10 A1 Card. I have formatted it in the phone and it's reported as corrupt. It's a common problem on the G5 and the G5S. I'm hoping the Oreo update due soon will fix it. I've looked all over different forums for an answer, but have been unable to find one so far! Can anyone help?

OOS

Aren't these just the regular prices?

Yep UK charger. band 20? Means nothing to me soz!?

I missed out on this.. but it's the same price (more or less) at CCL: https://www.cclonline.com/product/240844/PA7V0009GB/Mobile-Phones/Motorola-Moto-G5S-Smart-Phone-Lunar-Grey-/MOB0054/

Thank you

It appears to be the single SIM version. One slot for the nano SIM and one for micro SD card in the SIM tray. Also found this bit of information from Motorola website - Xt1804 from Moto direct is dual SIM Xt1803 from John Lewis (and others) is single SIM in UK.

Hello @Hiptobesquare , G5S Plus comes with dual sim and dedicated sd card slot. Is this the one on offer? Thank you. Btw the gray is now OOS

G5s has a single camera. G5s plus has dual cameras.

I can confirm it's a deal for the Moto G5S Plus, I received mine a couple of days ago.

This or p10 lite?

At the moment, amazon.it are selling these for €219. Even with the Euro transaction fee on a credit card, it should come in at under £200. https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B0744VXT1B/ I bought a G5S plus for €195 from Amazon.it on this deal https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/motorola-g5s-plus-sim-free-deal-of-the-day-187-amazon-italy-2858748

Great phone. Got this last September on Amazon pre-order for £200.82. Looks good, runs well and feels premium. This smartphone really does hit the sweet spot in terms of price, quality and specification. Android Oreo update due soon. You can spend a lot more on a phone, but in terms of pound for pound value, you get diminishing returns.

It was in stock earlier. I luckily got an order in for the gold version.

OOS

What's so difficult to understand here?? G5S and G5S Plus,simple. This G5S phone is actually surprisingly fast & smooth,a decent performer when I tried one as is the camera too. Camera on this is better than the G5S Plus. Using the same SD430 CPU as Nokia 6 i found the Motorola much smoother

Only seems a few months since the G5 was released! They really need to slow down, they're already diluting/confusing their product line enough as it is (skeptical)

Just added the G5s to the basket and applied the code, still works. Not expired (the G5S Plus is oos though). If anyone still wants to use this it seems to be ok....

They will all start going out of stock and/or being sold off cheaply once the G6 series is released (about 5-6 weeks from launch).

indeed, you also cant swap the sim on the go either because you need a little pokey thing to poke the sim tray out, I guess you could attach it to your keys, but you shouldn't have to really, just a badly thought out design IMO.

This is specific to the g5.

moto g v1 .. i still have it screen never broke it still going strong.. dropped it many a time

Rubbish phone. Screen breaks very easily. Check on line and see how many people moan about it, and then it costs about £80 to replace it.

new Moto G6 on the way next month

You can get if from Vodafone. £99 + 10 top up. You'll probably have to pay some £ to unlock. https://shop.vodafone.co.uk/shop/pay-as-you-go/huawei-p8-lite-2017-payg/sku93495

The CPW deal has now been pulled so no longer a cheap buy...

I've got my phone now and I'm very happy with it so far. The spigen case is a must as it's thin and is quite slippy. I would definitely recommend the p10 lite if you can get a good deal on it. I don't have any concerns about it breaking.

Hahaha! I do seem to drop my phone with alarming regularity! I think the fact that it survived so many times made me a bit complacent. I might be better off looking at another option then. XD Incidentally, got a chance to play with a P10 lite over the weekend. Owner was happy with it but had cracked the back after a drop. He now has the Spigen case and it looks suitably protected.

I know what you mean, I'm a fan of the Moto phones of the past but I've ordered the P10 lite. I'll be buying a strong case for it... A lot of people are very careless and blame phones for breaking rather than themselves. If you regularly drop your phone curved glass isn't for you! I'll let you know how I get on.

For me it's that extra GB of RAM in the p10 lite. If you have around 250, that's why I also mentioned a second hand one plus 3 as it has 6GB RAM which makes it a total beast.

Yeah heard good things about JL on here to be honest. Never thought to try there for mobiles. It was purchased off Motorola direct so all online, strongly worded emails etc. Not dropped the week and a half I had it. Possibly during transit but who knows

Cubot do similar decent phones but do not offer anything exciting

I've always been a fan of the Moto range (currently using Moto G5 Plus). Similar priced phone for comparison would be Huawei Honor 7X https://store.hihonor.com/uk/item/209699837/index. Anyone had an experience of the 7X yet? ALthough £30 more it comes with the Honor Band 3 free of charge which you could probably sell for £30.

Did you do it online or in-store? Should've bought through JL who accept returns a lot more simple. Weird the phone developed dead pixels, that almost never happens unless it is dropped

Incredible front and rear cameras both with flash, insanely quick operation, massive screen, finger print sensor, gorilla glass, full metal body with no flex, dual SIM, expandable memory, bright, HD, crystal clear phone to name a few. I don't know why this deal is getting so much heat when JL had it same price with 2 year warranty and free high quality headphones though. I challenge you to find a better phone for a better price which doesn't come from Gearworst or some other China website which gives it no useable warranty.

Heated added bcos of UK seller, I always prefer them. But FYI dual sim version is available slightly cheaper in EglobalG5

(moto G5) i went into store today the girl sold me the phone, then I had to pop a few doors down to pick up a nano sim in a vodaphone store (which is my network that I'm on) :) i got the grey,

Only Grey in stock currently.

Crap phone.

got this phone mid december as lost my old one. paid 250 for it and its well worth that price. this is an absolute bargain

Paid #260 from JL couple weeks ago and they refunded me £20 via price match, epic customer service and excellent phone

Coolio

There’s £15 off with the Which offer.. https://www.appliancesdirect.co.uk/content/which-promotion?

Think price has gone up to £239 can't see it for £225

£225 at Appliances Direct without phones.

I had one of these, became unusable (due to ghost touchscreen inputs) unless the brightness was turned right down to the minimum, both when on charge and when not.

Can't understand why this is getting any heat.... old phone now with widespread ghosting issues, not even the Plus version.

G4 was sent back after 6 months due to ghosting, annoying.

No ghost touches on my g4. Great phone, only changing it (after 10months) because it's too large for me, and I've got big hands! The g4 is not waterproof, the G3 was. Mine has recently in the last couple of months started to screen burn, but it's not permanent. The burn goes away completely in a few mins with either the phone screen off or just by watching a few YouTube clips.

A good price for a very good phone. My wife and I both have the G4 and never had the ghost touch issues. However mine has developed screen burn in. Apart from that, it's a really good phone for the price.

Please can we get this out there. Motorola no longer gives out fast (or any) updates for their budget Devices and very little (and slow) updates for their own flagships. These are good Devices - but please stop saying that they have fast and reliable Android updates. Thanks

Back to £229 in John Lewis (annoyed)

Oh you said from JL in your original post but thanks

just picked up one thx

£199 at Carphone Warehouse.. https://www.carphonewarehouse.com/motorola/moto-g5-plus.html#!colour=grey&capacity=32GB&dealType=sf

Yeah and they start to install apps by themself after about a year, and you can't send them back. At least that's my experience with buying a phone from banggood in the past. Now i make sure to buy from a proper retailer from the UK.

Anyone know why this deal is still here, reported as duplicate and it's allowed to stay :/ https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/moto-g5s-dual-sim-32gb-was-229-now-179-at-john-lewis-2856521

3G (Voice) works on the 2nd sim on G5S, it will show up as UMTS in the sim status. G5 was supposed to be getting a patch to enable 3G on the 2nd sim but no idea if that's still going to happen.

The new price :p

For whatever reason, the OP has chosen to send me PMs, apparently as I didn't share his devotion to JL on the other thread for this phone which appears to have been removed as it was a duplicate. Be warned. He's a bit of a Troll. (shock)

OOS (mad)

Got one .looks absolutely new . great camera on it

Bought this same phone from Argos on ebay earlier this week. It came in a plain brown refurb box, not an original box.

I have the 3GB version and it is a very good phone for £100. No NFC, and using the sd card for storage makes the apps a bit slow to load, like Spotify takes ages to load my library. I'm using a very old SD card though. Also, sometimes the fingerprint scanner does not do anything, not sure that is due to some apps I have installed which are interfering.

I thought the 3GB version was an Amazon UK exclusive and the O2 deal was for the "standard" 2GB version?

Looks like the £70 extra is for 32GB against 16GB memory which is steep

same price in CPW https://www.carphonewarehouse.com/motorola/moto-g5-plus.html#!colour=grey&capacity=32GB&dealType=sf

Correct! Updated the post to correct. Both phones (Moto and Huawei) have 3GB RAM.

2 or 3gb ram?

That's a lotta ram for a cellphone! (popcorn)

No warranty.

I found this before I posted my deal, I didn't like the fact there wasn't a guarantee or the one that was provided by them, any problems the phone had to be sent to their service center. Amazon here is 2 years https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/motorola-g5s-plus-sim-free-deal-of-the-day-187-amazon-italy-2858748

Cold

Excellent, the camera is better than the iPhone 7s especially the selfie can with flash in low light

For those of you that now have one, how good is the phone? I'm thinking of buying one.

Mine took a little longer, about 4 days. Couldn't wait for Xmas got it on charge now and reinstalled my glass screen protector, let me know what you think of the phone the built quality is very nice

Literally ordered on the 18th, arrived on the 20th. I believe it actually came from Bristol. In fact it came quicker than an Amazon UK order i had placed on the 17th, which didnt arrive till the 21st.

So how many days did it take for your delivery?

With the g5s plus now £240 on John Lewis I agree this deal is naff

Price is now showing £162.99 Also you can use code "Chkout5" at checkout for £5 off bringing the price down to £157.99 :)

I'll say again same price of Amazon, ok used but as new with Amazon customer service

Standard. Same happened with pretty much every G4+ deal too.

Why all the cold votes its like £80 cheaper than anywhere else I think people dont realise the G5 and g5 plus are so different
