16 GB Moto G 3rd gen

Does anyone know where I can get the 16 gig variant of this phone? So far my only options seem to be Amazon at £ 170 or taking a punt on EBay.

Does anywhere do this phone on contract?

By the description on Amazon I would suspect they are the exclusive seller of the 16GB version.

I just bought this dual SIM one from eBay for a friend in Kenya -

It came from India but took less than a week to arrive

But only a couple of quid cheaper than Amazon.

And if you lose the game of HMRC duty/vat roulette it will actually be quite a bit more expensive...

I'm not sure if you noticed I said Dual SIM. The nearest I can find on amazon is this -

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Motorola-Mot...oto+g+dual+sim

At £193 and only 8GB

I did look first on Amazon but I was looking for dual SIM and 16GB

If you go via motorolas site and customise with Moto maker there's a £10 discount ( UKWELCOME10 )which makes the 16gb customised phone £179.

£9 more than Amazon so not sure if it's worth spending an extra tenner to be able to customise your phone a little.

Moto Gs aren't the killer bargain they used to be, are they? £170???

PS And if you are happy to buy a Moto G from India then surely getting summat like a Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 from China for £100 would be a far better option?

You might be right, but given its going to Kenya I'm more concerned about Whether firstly it will still be working in a years time and secondly whether it still gets Android updates. I feel more confident on both those scores with the Moto G

The Moto X Play was £199 on Amazon (yesterday) which seemed to make the Moto G look expensive in comparison.

Obviously this information is now only useful to time lords.

But Hopefully this blasted black Friday that every retailer and their dog are doing might conjure up more deals.

Moto G 4G from Vodafone - £130

(presume this is the 3rd gen but they don't explicitly say so - Moto really should have come up with a better naming policy!)

Moto G 4G 2nd gen from Sainsbury's, SIM free - £110


Re network locked handsets, unlock codes are readily available on eBay for two or three quid.
