- Hi All,
Welcome back to Tech Time with Rick.
Today I’m going to share with you my review of the Moto G84, the latest budget smartphone from Motorola. I’ve been using this phone for about a week now, and I want to tell you what I like and what I don’t like about it, and whether it’s worth buying or not.
Excellent review! I keep buying Motos. I tell myself this time I'll try something new - but Motorola is always the best value for money and does everything I want it to do. So, I keep getting Motorolas. NOW it's got an OLED screen so I can see it outside in the sunshine! Happy Moto User.
27/12/23 Quick update on price. The G84 is selling for £199 at Argos and Currys (UK) Bargain !
Just bought mine a few weeks ago from Argos, absolutely love it brilliant phone With amazing battery life.
In Australia it's going for AU$330 (£170) at multiple retailers! Normally we get shafted over here with expensive tech so I have zero complaints.
Yep. That's what I paid for mine from Argos. In the marvellous bright red colour!
Thanks for the review Rick!

Pretty solid review, also nice touch with the cat 😁 this would basically be my perfect phone if it had better SoC. Everything from Moto with a better one doesnt have headphone jack. I guess I need a Sony phone...
This phone does have a headphone jack. A 3.5mm one.
The Moto G84 5G has a big problem. It's a sound. The outgoing volume is quite weak. Low sound power is on the speakers of the phone. Bluetooth and 3.5 jack also have Low sound. It doesn't matter how you connect any device it will play quietly. It doesn't matter via Bluetooth or a 3.5 jack you will need to turn them on almost to the maximum. Standard melodies play loudly. However, if you turn on something from UA-cam or other apps, the volume is -50%. Most likely, the problem is software, but the problem has been around for six months. It seems that Motorola is not going to solve it. There are many negative reviews about this problem on the Internet and the Motorola support site.
Saw your comment on the australian dude on the same phine😅
Great review, looks like a very good bang-for-buck phone. I'm upgrading my Galaxy J7 Pro and need something that can tolerate exposure to contaminants in day-to-day life while in my pocket. It's impossible to keep my phone away from dirt, dust and moisture so there's no way I can have an expensive flagship. Just need something that performs decent enough with good battery life.
It is a very good phone for the price and should be able to survive day to day life. Glad you enjoyed it and don't forget to subscribe to help the channel out 👍😁
The fact they are pretty poor for software support and updates is the result of having too many different phones currently out and being released throughout the year.
In order to be able keep churning out good spec phones they have to cut corners with the software support. Generally moto phones offer better specs for the money compared to companies like Samsung, but Samsung have far better software support.
I bought a Moto g9 play a couple of years ago which only got 1 android update and a few security updates. Any glitches or software issues which I reported on the Moto forums just got brushed under the rug due to no more updates, even if they broke phone functionality.
That's the unfortunate thing with Moto, if only they provided better software support
Hopefully the new trend of manufacturers supporting longer OS support will change their way
Looks like fantastic value for money, shame the photo and video footage doesn't look great
It is good value for what it does, unfortunately to hit the price range some compromises were made.
Good vid rick

Hello Rick, if you lay this on a flat surface and use the phone, does it wobble, do you think it'll damage the camera lens over time please?
It does wobble a bit, but if you get a case you shouldn't have any problem as it will flatten the back. Even without a case it shouldn't damage the camera lens unless you put it on a rough surface. Hope that helps and don't forget to subscribe to help the channel out 😃👍👍
This Is my next cellphone 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I read in nanoreview that g84 has lpddr5 and ufs 2.2, also Motorola too says lpddr5 with asterisk, how can I check it?
Best way to check maybe to contact your country's motorola website and get the information from them directly as all regions have different variations. Hope that helps and don't forget to subscribe to help the channel out 👍😁
How does this compare to Samsung's midrangers (A54/A34)? Are there any particular pros and cons why you would choose one over the other?
There are always pros and con with each phone. I'd go for the Samsungs as they provide better/longer software support Few links below that may help.

Moto g 84 screen is p-oled and up to 144hz refresh rate
@@mangkanor4241120, not 144.
Hi which phone would you go for this one or honor 90 smart? I'm more interested in camera and overall which is better
They are both good phones, if you want a cleaner OS I suppose Motorola but the Honor is a newer phone. Check out the link for a better comparison to help you decide. nanoreview.net/en/phone-compare/motorola-moto-g84-vs-honor-90-smart👍

@@Tech_Time_with_Rick thank you ❤️
Why my phone doesn't have the pantom viva magenta logo on the back. ? Or in the box? Do you think is fake?
Where did you get the phone from, worth exchanging if not 100%
@@Tech_Time_with_Rick but is ok. I just check the IMEI number it is correct. Even with no logo about viva magneta, is good
Why is all hyped about specs.? it is how a phone performs on daily use that matters. on this budget phone you get charger,sd slot,256 internal storage 😱 that would had you ripped off when buying samsung,Apple. And you dont get a charger 😡
This phone does everything 90% of the people use a phone for 😊
Is that true, that this phone will receive only one Android update (to Android 14), which is about to be released? It's simply unbelievable...
Yes, unfortunately that is true and not acceptable. The fact that with the Pixel 8 line Google will support 7 OS updates 😁. Hope that helps and don't forget to subscribe to help the channel out 😁👍
@@Tech_Time_with_Ricksure, thanks :) What about the screen protection in this model? What kind of "glass" does it have?
Unfortunately this doesn't have gorilla glass and if you are to get it, I would advise to get a screen protector straight away.
@@Tech_Time_with_Rick This is what I was afraid of. Thanks! Is it any screen protector you could advise?
No screen protector on my model. Hope that helps and don't forget to subscribe 👍
I ordered one from Amazon, is this a good phone??
For daily usage for calls, txt, whatsapp, watching videos and playing some games its perfectly fine. Battery life is also good, just need to remember its not a flagship phone. Hope that helps and don't forget to subscribe to help the channel out 😄👍
Hola, no hablo muy bien English, disculpe, porqué que el teléfono se calienta mucho jugando roblox?
Mi pequeña juega, y al tener 25 minutos jugando se calienta demasiado.
Lo compré apenas el sábado.
El teléfono se calienta debido a que el procesador tiene que trabajar más cuando se juega a Roblox. El chipset Snapdragon 695 no es el mejor para jugar. Si su hijo juega mucho, le recomendaría devolver el teléfono y adquirir otro teléfono con un mejor procesador. Espero que te ayude, no olvides dar me gusta y suscribirte para ayudar al canal.👍😁
@@Tech_Time_with_Rick En serio? Hay que triste, si porque tengo el a34 que uso y no le pasa eso... :( ya no se si cambiarlo... Muchas gracias por responder ustedes que saben más
Me suscribo! Gracias
No hay problema, feliz de poder ayudar. 😊
Any lens coating issue??
Nothing so far on my unit
