Yes its that model.

Picked up the last one in Tralee for €138. Excellent phone for the price and perfect timing as I needed to move on from the Galaxy S3 mini. Perfect replacement.

The S3 is fairly bloated and off the update list. Which is a pity as the hardware is still good.

if I'd known that Tesco were going to offer the s3 at a good price I might have been tempted. But im glad I went for the moto g - everything works, it has lots of room for apps, no bloatware, the sensitivity for gsm reception, WiFi, and Bluetooth is excellent, better that my Xperia, and the GPS locks on to satellite pretty quickly, much much faster than the heap of crap Xperia did. I'm happy enough with the camera - that wasn't my main concern when choosing.

Would it tempt you to get a S3 for 230?

What Samsung has a better camera at a similar price point??

The Note and S4/5 are hugely more expensive. A S3 or S4 mini are also more expensive no???

Well I was comparing it to my buddy's galaxy S3. His photo s just seemed crisper, more alive. Mind you his display might be sharper too, didn't really get to do side by side comparison. I don't think anyone is trying to suggest the moto g camera could or should be compared to the €500+ phones, it's just that the features of the phone are unbeatable for a sub €200 price and the least outstanding feature is the camera.

re the camera - yeah, that's probably the weakest part of this great value for money phone. It is OK - I've taken some good sunrises and panoramic shots with it, fine for Facebook etc. but definitely did not have the "wow" factor of the Galaxy models.

Explain for an idiot.....

I've a €10 per month contract with Tesco at the minute. Would it be possible for me to get a data only contract from whomever, and set the phone up to use the data sim for all data usage?
If so, can someone point me in the right direction of the cheapest data plan!

Also, is 8gb very small? Seem to remember reading that there's no expansion?

Hi - see my post above - I have one SIM from TESCO for voice and text and another from Meteor for data. Reason is the TESCO data signal here is useless 2g/edge. I used a Meteor €10 for "unlimited" ie 7.5Gbytes at first but used it up in 2 weeks and to extend it is expensive. I then found Meteor do a "monthly" deal (new SIM) for 20GBytes for €10.16.
The phone handles the two SIMS perfectly - you can have it ask you which one to use for making a call or text, you can switch from one to the other for data BUT only one can handle 3G - the other is restricted to the old 2G/Edge speed. It can sometimes get confusing if you are doing systems texts like checking balances etc with the two providers, but I'm finding it very liberating to have the choice.
It takes a 32Gbyte Micro SD card too - some net sources claim it can handle 64GBytes but I haven't tried it.

Hi. Can anyone tell me if this the latest version of this phone?

It's just OK. Acceptable. You'll be disappointed if coming from a Galaxy S or Note for example.
