Been using this phone for a month, the battery life is great I use it throughout the day and can last nearly 2 days. The camera is really bugging me though, i don't like the quality, some focusing issues. Sometimes maps won't zoom or turn direction, sometimes fixed by closing the app and opening again. The other thing I noticed is it's started lagging, esp with some games and apps, tho I realize it might be an issue with the given app, idk Im missing my old phone 😢
@sobreviventemoderno4176 I actually got used to it and enjoying it a lot more. The camera is not bad, idk why it struggled to focus before. I still experience issues with zooming and orientation of maps sometimes, haven't figured out why it happens. It's a good phone overall tho, I'm not complaining ✌️🙂
Thanks for review I'm about to get one for my teenage son who doesn't want new phone 😂 as he prefers to play games on computer. The sale price recently $249 and I might get another 10% discount if I bought from Big W. 😊
Currently using iPhone 15 and since iphone 8 every phone that i have used samsungs, apple, honor i have had eye strain and recently i been reading about effects of oled which while superior tech in certain aspects but a great downside is that its messing your eyes without people knwoing i will add that lcd also isn't perfect but better than oled by most studies so i purchased this lets see what effects or any better
Depends (as always) on what you're using it for. A 2-3 year lifespan in terms of overall security should be generally OK, beyond that it would start being a more risky prospect for services like online banking or shopping or similar.
Unlike iOS, Android is made from a core (Android 13), which is updated only with the new versions or a security update, and all the add-ons like Google Play, Chrome, etc are updated forever or until the core is declared obsolete.
Would love to hear your thoughts on this vs the Oppo A78 4G, which has the same RRP in Australia, but prioritise slightly different things for the price. Great video!
I... would love to be able to do so. Unfortunately, Oppo will not loan me review devices at all at the moment (they're not happy that I reviewed prior loan devices and didn't give them glowing reviews; the point of a review is that it's warts and all) so they won't even send me details of new devices as they're released. As such, I can't recommend the brand -- not because they're no good, but because if they don't have faith in an independent and fair review process, why should consumers have faith in them?
@@colossaloverlord2678 Absolutely true at the time; Oppo has since softened its stance so I've reviewed some slightly more current fare -- the Reno11 F 5G most recently (th-cam.com/video/VBPcmdI2FrQ/w-d-xo.html) -- but sadly not the A78 4G, so I can't comment on that one. Their call, their consequences.
Hi! I've been reading lots of other reviews suggesting there is an overheating issue within 1-2hrs of use of the phone - can you verify if that's the case?
No sign of the G64 in Australia (yet)... but I'll be chasing it if they announce it for local distribution. Think it's the Dimensity 7025 under the hood (and it'd be the first 7025 locally I think, so an interesting comparison in its own right).
My layman's view on Android upgrades: every next Android version isn't necessarily optimized for hardware you bought three, two or even one year ago. So it can be that getting newer Android on older phone you obtain some new functionality (can be or may not be worthy) and potentially, slower operation on your particular model. To me Android upgrades seem like megapixels - sound like necessity, but as long as phone works, it's OK.
Totally satisfied with my Moto G54! The super smooth 120Hz display makes scrolling and gaming a breeze, and the battery life is a marathon runner - easily lasts a full day on a single charge. Plus it charges pretty quickly too. The phone itself feels light and comfortable to hold, and the design is pretty slick. One small drawback - the fingerprint sensor seems to be a little slow sometimes which can be a pain. To fix that, I'm thinking about getting a screen protector with built-in fingerprint compatibility from gadgetshieldz. That way I can protect the screen from scratches and still unlock my phone fast.
Camera is so so (zoomed in too much), sound (via Bluetooth) is so so (not enough oomph) and the screen has a noticeably yellow tint compared to my old Xperia XA2 (which also sports an IPS panel). If Moto fixes that, I'd consider this (or the G55) the *perfect* budget phone. Other than that though, it's super snappy in opening apps and that surprised me. Everything is running absolutely butter smooth. Gaming might not be the best, but I dont play game son my phone. 8 gigs of ram / 256 gb of storage is amazing at this price point I gotta say.
I bought the Moto G 24, I still did not open so I can return it, but I only use the phone for photos, spotify, whatsapp and insta, face, etc. I supposse the camara is also going to be average, I read the G54 camera is even better from G24 but I got it for 130 euros, but now there is an offer G54 for 150 euros, every time I see a reduced price I am increasing my budget, i wanted to spend only 100 euros around
No in-display fingerprint reader, just the one on the side (not uncommon at this price point). Security right now is fine, Moto doesn't add anything specific here beyond what's in Android. Only concern there would be the lesser number of Android updates only up to Android 14, though that would depend on how long you were planning to use it for.
@@AlexKidman While it does only get the one update to Android 14 that's just a feature issue, the important thing is it gets security updates till September 2026
This phone is fantastic for the price its fast responsive its got excellent sound quality it picks up 5g really well its designed well and the camera is good enough especially considering the price However their is one thing and im not the only one to say this it tends to get hot when charging which is not good at all for battery life it causes it to significantly degrade over time ive had the phone now for 6 months and every time i charge even brand new out of the box it gets hot 🥵 over time the battery life has decreased after just 2 hours of not even intensive use 57% thats insane drops i know i can charge it fast but im often reaching for the charger twice a day i try to charge it back to full before it reaches 50% but still its not good that the battery degrades like that in that amount of time
For The Australian model, yes, it's NFC equipped. Should work on most US networks (though as, like most Australian 5G phones it's sub-6Ghz for 5G, not any US mmWave parts of networks) but as I've not taken one to the US, that's largely just based on the specs. There's no reason it shouldn't, though.
So, unfortunately I can't comment on Oppo phones, because they don't have enough confidence in their phones to supply them for independent review -- and as such I can't recommend them if I can't test them! At this price point though, you're talking general compromises all the way, and the G54 5G, while not "great" in a camera sense, is amongst the better pile. Nokias at this price point I've generally found shoot a little worse, might also be worth considering what Samsung has in this lower priced space.
Just ordered one on amazon for $199 AUD. Im looking forward to replacing my S9 cause although its a good phone, the battery absolutely sucks (3000 MaH) and its also a bit dated.
I haven't tested the A15 as yet -- it's often tricky getting hold of budget Samsung Android phones for testing, lowest down that range I've gone is the A35 (th-cam.com/video/B44x3Q1-DSc/w-d-xo.html). As for pricing, that's up to Samsung, but realistically the A15 is a *touch* newer (by a few months) and phone prices tend to drop over time, which may well be part of it.
My problem with the Moto G54 5G AU is that it overheats when used too much, and you can't swap the navigation button to the other side. But if it's still a good value phone despite those drawbacks.
Nope, not going to wear that one lightly -- I'm working off the specifications for the G54 as sold in Australia, which is sold with 8GB of RAM (Here's Moto AU's specs page to verify this is right: www.motorola.com.au/smartphones-moto-g54-5g/p) and so that's what I've tested with. I'm well aware that international variants exist and are sold in different markets, but it's not reasonable to do anything but test the phone that I have in front of me.
Muy buena su exposición y descripción de su equipo
One BIG plus with the 54g sold in AU is that it has an eSim slot which at this price point makes it a great spare or travel phone.
Muy bueno el teléfono Motorola y una marca espectacular
