Introducing Move in Lunar White

Great product, I recently purchased 2x moves to enjoy all the time we’ve been spending in the garden during lockdown!

I read about increased battery life with the new S2 software. Has this software update already been pushed to existing devices or due following the availability of the new lunar white version?

Thanks

I certainly hope that the battery live has improved.  I am very disappointed in that aspect of my Move.  I use it in a UK bathroom (no power allowed in a UK bathroom) and it is flat in less than 2 days, even with minimal use as a speaker. 

All the support people can suggest is pressing the Bluetooth/Wifi button, to switch it to Bluetooth.  This saves power because it isn’t constantly searching for another Sonos component, but in that mode, it’s not really a Sonos product itself, because you can’t just grab a phone and control it or link it with other speakers. 

It seems to have a woefully small battery considering how large and heavy it is - at around 2500mAh, it is 30% smaller than my phone!  They could so easily have increased that…  Interestingly, they seem to have removed the mAh from the spec now.

On a more positive note, it sounds fantastic and it has had plenty of use outside the house as well as in.  It is just frustrating that (sharing a house with teenage daughters) it is usually flat when I want to use it in the bathroom.

When can we expect to see these available at retail locations? Will the lunar white be a part of any retail displays?  I’d love to see the difference between white and lunar white.

Keen on white Move here but will wait for some more information/resolution of the random powering on/battery issues.

They've been reported for too long now without any sort of a resolution or update (that I'm aware of).

The battery size of around 2500mAh (2400) did surprise me but if that's what it takes to deliver around 10h of use that's fine and satisfies my use case.  Not if I go to use it and it's flat having been totally powered off though.

That was through a previous software update that’s been out for a little while. Move can now support up to 11 hours of continuous play time on battery.

Starting on July 7th, you’ll start to see them showing up in retail locations. You could call a few local ones to see if they have both models on display to see the differences. 

Now I’m thinking of returning my black one - a white one would probably be less likely to overheat at the beach or outside.

This battery update fixes the bug with standby mode ?

‘’The hue represents months of research ...’’

Really, to just change the colour of the case?

Hmm …

It does look nice, though.

It’s a lot more than selecting a different color 🙂 It’s about the paint and finish, not just the color of it. For a portable unit, there’s a lot that goes into it.

I pre-ordered this on June 16th and the order confirmation email said estimated delivery by June 30th. It’s now almost a week later and my order status is still “backordered”. Has anyone else had this issue? I saw some people on Reddit get theirs early, one person was supposed to get it by end of July and they got it around Father’s Day, yet mine still hasn’t shipped..
