Hi guys, I am thinking of buying the Motorola signature and its $184 after gift card and trading my iPhone 12 pro plus $300 trade in boost. Does anyone have this phone and if so, whats your experience in terms of battery, camera quality and if it lags or is it smooth. I haven’t used android phone since galaxy s10, which broke 3 years ago and continued using iPhone 12pro.

That sounds like an exceptionally good deal. I'm not sure if that's the same phone. Can you link to the phone?

At that price it looks like an exceptionally good deal to me. 7 years of updates apparently. They say you must be an Australia resident ; ).

I'm not a phone expert but when compared to Pixel 9/10 it looks pretty good to me.

I know zero about Aussie Vs NZ cell bands although I've been lucky. The other thing is carrier support. Moto is not widely sold in NZ. Potentially that can affect how updates are delivered, or at least has done in the past

Will the phone be used in New Zealand? If yes, you could be risking it not having VoLTE support for NZ providers.
