    Bought a G3 for almost twice that not too long ago. Great bargain


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,272 ✭✭✭✭Atomic Pineapple


    Fingerprint scanner is all this is really missing correct? Looks like a great phone otherwise.

    Been on HUKDeals for a while, only negative would be 1gig RAM, they are slow to ship too


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,213 ✭✭✭utyh2ikcq9z76b


    Tried to get this phone a few weeks ago when they were £79 and the sale wouldn't go through using card and paypal


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 268 ✭✭Flashdan


    Just to clarify for some people

    G4 Plus has the fingerprint scanner
    G4 is the same as plus but with no scanner and 2gb of Ram
    G4 Play is this one and the lowest spec of the range.

    The first two have 5.5inch screens. The play has a 5inch. Generally it is people who want the smaller form factor that are buying the G4 Play so not really comparing like with like above.

    Anyone have any luck actually ordering this successfully from Motorola yet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,696 ✭✭✭✭drunkmonkey


    Not a huge saving over buying it from one of the networks here, maybe save €20

    As far as a phone goes I've been using one for the last 2 weeks since my 6s broke down, for the money it's an excellent phone. Minimum bloat ware, runs smooth and snappy. Don't think you could go too wrong with it, nice size and weight.
    I'm not going to critisise it as I'd be comparing to a phone that costs €800 and the little Moto punches well above its price.

    Where can you buy it in Ireland and what network.

    3 have it and there's 3mts free Deezer with it, saving €30

    Just bought it as needed a phone in a hurry but I'm impressed.

    Don't know but presume so.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,648 ✭✭✭✭beauf


    G3 and G4 play are very similar.

    It's got nothing in common with the G4.

    The G4 is a bit big imo at 5.5".


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 199 ✭✭JimmyAlfonso


    Is this a bit on the thick side at 9.9mm or acceptable? Not held it in my hands so in comparison to phones in this range is it noticeably thicker (not sure how different the feel is in a 7mm V 10mm)

    It's light and thin, if feels like a feather in my hand compared to an iPhone 6s. Grippy back so it's not slipping out of your hand. It could be heavier though I never checked the weight, it feels good in the hand though, not something you need to rush and buy a case for due to the grippy back.

    Plus also has 16MP camera
    G4 has 13MP camera
    G4 Play has 8MP camera

    Plus and G4 also have a bigger processor, I got the Plus the other day. Grand phone so far, decent upgrade from my very battered S4, battery nothing special, but the plus also comes with a turbo charger which can get it up to 80% in about 20 mins (other versions this can be purchased separately for €25 odd)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,911 ✭✭✭kala85


    Anyone know if the phone is locked to the three network and how much it would cost to get it unlocked or where

    If bought from Motorola, unlocked. If bought from Three, obviously locked to Three.

    The Play doesn't have a gyroscope me thinks.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,648 ✭✭✭✭beauf


    The G3 I got from Meteor locked to the first sim I inserted. (a non meteor sim) I dunno if the G4/Play work the same.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 259 ✭✭duffer247


    In need of phone and mid contract so this is good timing and price.
    Followed instructions in op and got both discounts applied and completed payment through paypal.
    Thanks again

    Same here also with meteor ireland and tesco uk g3. Unlock code for g4 is only £1.15 on ebay anyway.

    I have the 5.5'' model , and I wouldn't say I had tiny hands but not huge either and find it's not as easy to use one handed as the 5'' one I used to have.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 496 ✭✭Mulbert


    Mine cancelled through address pal a fews ago. Anyone ordered through pm or ap earlier today not cancelled?

    Same here. 5" was the sweet point.

    I'd love the G4 or G4 Plus in a 5" size.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,574 ✭✭✭WhiteMemento9


    I ordered through Parcel Motel and was shipped fine. I got notification earlier to say it is with Parcel Motel in Dublin, so just waiting for it to be shipped on to my local pm.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,574 ✭✭✭WhiteMemento9


    Should say I ordered before this thread went up as I had seen the offer on HUKD


  • Administrators, Computer Games Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 32,532 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭Mickeroo


    I ordered a 64gb g4 plus a few weeks ago. I had to use address pal and pay pal as they would cancel the order when I tried to use PM.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,696 ✭✭✭✭drunkmonkey


    Parcel motel is meant to be swamped with little hope of delivering before Xmas, I'd go with an post address pal if your hoping to have it before Xmas still no guarantee but the an post address is in the uk and there very quick the address pal is up north. Find an post quicker myself.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,391 ✭✭✭yannakis


    PM have a promo running if you collect in 4h from the SMS, so hopefully this will get people moving :)www.parcelmotel.com/news/item/win-a-hatchimal-in-time-for-christmas/

    I was expecting them to be slower, but:
    Tracking shows delivered on 12 Dec at 06:37
    Parcel checked in on 13 Dec at 22:06
    SMS received on 15 Dec at 19:49

    Cancelled. I bought a wileyfox swift 2 instead from amazon. It seems to have dropped in price recently.

    Any links?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,016 ✭✭✭mad m


    Says out of stock now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,014 ✭✭✭Soarer


    There was another thread that mentioned a charger and cable that, if used with the G4, it give a turbo charge or something.

    Can anyone point me in that direction? Can't find it for love nor money.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 699 ✭✭✭jmorrisey


    the missus has a g4 and regular charger is really slow but she uses my xiaomi note 4g charger and it works as a turbo charger for it. Might be cheaper to get another turbo charger brand than motorola official one if thats any help

    Look for one that supports Quick Charge 2.0 or 3.0. (Or turbo charging). Its the same thing. A regular charger even one that has 2.4a isn't QC unless it say it in the specs. And you'll need a decent cable. Only some of mine support fast charging.

    Was out of stock on Sun, but got G4 Plus ordered yesterday, didn't work with addresspal and visa debit, but when I cancelled and tried again with paypal using addresspal as card address, it went through. Welcome code worked too. Arriving 28th hopefully as my LG G3 is having some kind of a breakdown.

    Unfortunately not, after my order being cancelled yesterday I tried this morning and KENSMOTO had expired. Was going to try buy it again with a revolut card instead of my irish debit card.

    As of yet no new codes have popped up. Hopefully we'll get one for new years.
