    Motorola's latest super affordable Moto G phone is the Motorola Moto G04; at $179 (or even cheaper through Telstra in Australia) it won't break the bank -- but is it worth buying? I've put it through its paces to see where this remarkably cheap phone excels -- and where it doesn't.

    The dual sim makes this an attractive option for me heading overseas. And if it gets stolen it’s not the end of the world!

      There’s also the G04s sold in some markets in Europe but not Australia-the screen now has GG3 and the camera is 50MP instead of the G04’s 16MP.

    My phone didn't come with any USB Charger and it said follow the prompts to get started ...but then asked for a pass word...I have no pass word ..I didn't know I needed a pass word?

    • @AlexKidman
      @AlexKidman  Місяць тому

      At a guess (best I can do!)... the carrier models of the G04 come with a charger, but retail models don't, so you'd need to budget for that. For the password, unless you've got it second-hand, what it's probably referring to is setting up or logging into a Google account -- if you don't have a Google account you should be able to create one at that point, and while it's not strictly mandated, what you can do with a smartphone without a Google account is pretty limited. If it's asking for some other kind of lock or password, then I'd take it back to where you got it from.

    I currently have the oppo a52.
    I paid $300 aud, 4 years ago for it. But its time for an upgrade as the oppo is lagging and heating up quickly. Is the moto g04 similar to the oppo a52?
    I was thinking about getting the motorola g54.
    Just to give you an idea i just need a phone that's not laggy, doesnt heat up, decent amount of gb, decent camera (i only use my mobile to take pictures), i can use important apps like email apps, insurance apps, banking apps, adobe, UA-cam and a few others, works fast when both internet from mobile data and modem is connected and battery life is long and charges quick. Thats it.
    And also what stores do you recommend to by phones and even other electronics from ,both online and in-person?
    Thanks a lot!

      Been a while since I reviewed the Oppo A52, but looking over my performance notes -- they'd be very close in performance terms overall, though the G04 did do a fair bit better in battery life terms than the A52 did in my tests. The issue you'll face in the budget space is (predictably) that you can have some of what you want -- but not all of it, because that's just the way budget phones are. The G54 is a better phone if your budget can run to it, mind, and I'm in the tail end of testing out and writing up the G34 as well, so that might be worth pursuing (though both are more pricey than the G04).

      Wow, so the g04 is pretty similar to the oppo a52? Thats good to know. Gives me an idea, of knowing atleast if i buy the g04 it would be pretty decent, coz im quite content with the oppo a52 the past 4 years.
      I could afford the g54, its just if the g04 is good enough, for the things i mention in my original comment, then i may as well save the roughly $150.
      Idk what would you recommend, are there any other phones that dont break the bank yet still good quality and functions well?

    • @AlexKidman
      @AlexKidman  2 місяці тому

      Looking over my notes, the A52's GPU performance is very slightly better than the G04, but not to a level where you'd really see it impacting performance, but the G04's battery test performance was markedly better for the same test. Changes in benchmarking mean I can't do a like-for-like on CPU performance, unfortunately. G54 is a decent buy for the money, and I'm just finishing up my G34 review (sits nicely between the two in price terms) -- that may be a better option as it's got more promised security updates (important if you're talking about functions like banking and other secure apps) while also being 5G ready (which may not matter to you one way or the other, but certainly a nice to have kind of feature). Review of that is coming soon -- should be ready within the next few days in fact.

      Yes security is also a big factor!
      Thanks for mentioning that!
      I'll be interested in watching your review of the g34 but will be buying the phone probably tomorrow as i live in a country town.
      But maybe g34 is the way to go as you said it sits nicely in between the
      two. I mean then again the g54 is the same price as the oppo a52 , so maybe i should just go with the g54. Is the g54 a much better phone than the oppo a52?
      Coz if it's better in terms of function, quality, speed , gb, security etc. All the important features, i might just go for that then.

      man believe me, i had realme 5 pro SD712, It was also lagging behind. so i bought moto e13 4/64 variant. and it's just performing better than 5pro. motorola did better job in optimizing unisoct606. go for it
