I got this phone for $10 through an upgrade deal , I have a fixed income and this is my first new phone in 6 years. I'm loving it and it's perfect for what I need and like to do.
I got mine last month for 10.00 also. I upgraded from the G Power 2021
I just ordered one for $169. I been doing Verizon prepaid for almost 13 years. $35 a month. I've owned many Moto devices. Had the 1st Moto G. The 3rd. Have the Moto G power 2021 now. They do everything I need it em do. I'm rough on a phone. As an electrician I'm always using it as a flashlight, banging it, dropping it. I've never broke a screen.
I did drop one out of a scissor lift at about 12ft. It didn't crack the screen but it popped the back off and still worked. The speaker sounded funny so I replaced it. I'm looking forward to getting the wireless charging and NFC. I can afford a flagship device but have a budget set to meet future financial goals. Plus it would sting much more damaging a $1000+ device than it does one in this price range.
I've got news for ya man, there ain't a damn thing wrong w/this phone! ONLY 1 operating system update is a GOOD THING! Everytime Motorola (...or anybody else either for that matter) wants to do a (so-called) "system update", it tends to phukk w/the entire set-up of the phone. I don't need to be RE-learning the damn phone every 6 months, or some such thing, everytime they supposedly wanna "update" stuff. Most "system updates" are bullshit in the first place. There's nothin' wrong w/the screen, and there's nothin' wrong w/the camera either. I think Motorola has everybody totally fooled. They've got an outstanding phone @ an outstanding price, and it seems to have everybody baffled.
Im glad you like your phone. Have a good day 👍☺️
I agree!! Love mine!!
On "the screen" portion, ....i enjoy a phone that is hard for others to "see" if they are not looking directly over your shoulder
You sound like you time traveled from 2013
I agree my bro had a motorola touch phone lasted very long before messing up two summers ago i got a samsung and its been giving me problems for over 6 months i think the store gave me a old version but every Samsung device ive seen gets hit with an update and ruins the device seen it with xbox too eventually
Moto phones are well made and last a long time. I'm a repeat Moto buyer. Can't see paying tons of $$$ for Iphones & others.
Thats how I feel. I still have a 2022 Moto G Stylus. Play Pokemon Go, love the tunes outta the BT earbuds, like using X, booking flights. 2 more days and it's time to bury the Moto G Stylus and use this 2024 Moto G.
Same. I started buying them when the Z3 Play came out in 2018. What an awesome phone that was. Kinda broken-hearted that they canceled their Z line after such a short time, because they were absolutely awesome how you could buy the accessories that magnetically snap to the back of the phone.
I agree. I'm still rocking a g7 power that I've dropped so many times and no slowdown but it just won't break. I wish it would break so I can upgrade. So I'm looking at another Moto or the a15.
I like the display on the Moto G Power 5G 2024 phone, looks mad beautiful crisp & so vibrant
I'm glad you like it! 👍☺️
I'm surprised how much brighter the Power's display is vs. my 2021 Stylus 5G which also uses IPS (60Hz) with the Stylus at 100% brightness it's still not as bright as the Power's display at 55% I even confirmed Adaptive brightness is disabled, no battery savers etc.
So I just picked up this phone for $50 via straight talk limited time promotion. I am in love! I have owned many budget phones and honestly this is one of the best so far. I require a phone for my job. It runs 5-7 apps all at the same time flawlessly. I'm crazy about the battery life because it gets me through a full day of heavy use then I recharge when I get home. Honestly, if you're not a mobile gamer and you don't necessarily need a super computer in your pocket, you like android, get this phone.
Same!!!!🎉
Great video very informative can you share where you got the widgets and wallpapers
Picked this up for $50 sealed. Just want a new phone. Outside of occasional browsing, text, & call..anything else is non priority for me really. Some live on their phone, i'm definitely not one of those lol
Is the 2023 model worth it for $45 through my carrier?
They look like normally they are around $120.
Or should I get something used off ebay with better tech specs like a Pixel 7a? I'm actually coming from something very old so anything is an upgrade. Also, it doesn't look like the battery is replacable.
I have this phone. I just got an upgrade from Cricket, paid $120. I have been using these phones since I took a gamble and got the first Moto G Power back in 2020. I am picky about my phones and I LOVE the Moto G Power series. The battery life is unbeatable, the ease of use features such as being able to flick your wrist twice to turn on the flashlight are wonderful!
My FAVORITE thing about these phones is they are built EXCELLENTLY! You may not be getting fancy glass backing, thin bezels, etc. but these phones HOLD UP! I am notoriously hard on phones. Virtually every phone that I have had before moving to Moto got broken at one point or another. I have NEVER broken a Moto phone. These phones are also GREAT for people who use their phone a lot for work! Great performance when it comes to using multiple apps and plenty of storage as well!
I did notice that the newer versions come with more bloatware than they used to (still less than most budget phones) but the bloatware apps can be easily deleted within 5 minutes. Motorola never fails to impress me with their new releases and I'll continue to be a Motorola customer as long as they keep cranking out good quality phones at an excellent price point!
I think closer to $200-50 it's a definite buy but at $300 I think I would pass but hey thank you for the video
Good take 👍. Thanks for watching
Tap and wait..slow. And what category from list in settings to change power button. My phone will go to home screen and dark. One tap it lights up home screen/ still got to hit the power button for fingerprint to use it. It doesn't set off. My new phone.😟The volume is great though.
Thank you so much for this review!
I’ve rocking with Motorola ever since the e5 play . The best model for me was the Moto G power 2021 . I currently have the stylus 2023 and I use it for CZcams , music , telegram and emulators . I usually swap out phones on prepaid carriers once a year
I just upgraded to the Moto g 5g Power from the 2021 Moto g 5G Stylus. I agree that the 2021 Stylus was the best. But it was almost 2 years old and received no security updates for a year, so I upgraded. This is a pretty good phone for the $150 I paid for it through Total By Verizon.
@@rzombie79 if you can keep that phone for an emergency, you’re good bro but unfortunately for me, I lost mine in an Uber so goodbye PHONE lol
Great review as always buddy!
I've used Motorola devices for years, but I'll never get another one again until they give at least THREE system updates.
I hate getting rid of phones that I actually like!
Be safe all!
Great take! I hope your next phone is supported for longer! Of course I'll keep you updated with new Motorola devices soon! Thanks for watching!
Always look forward to hearing your knowledge.@@TechRight
Hello techright, I was just curious as to if you have any suggestions for a smartphone that has a great camera, sd card and a headphone jack? I’ve been an iPhone user pretty much ever since my first smartphone and would like a change. Im tired of needing to constantly delete stuff or having to pay for iCloud space so an sd card slot seems like the best way to go and Motorola is a well known name but also seems like an underdog. They also seem to have cool little quirks and im not sure how well I’d adjust to using Samsung I feel like Motorola is just different enough and their set up seems user friendly. Anyway, any recommendations would be appreciated, (even if they aren’t Motorola.)
Share the same thought with you. Looking for the same type of phones you are looking for.
They make adapters you can plug into your usb jack so you don't need a phone with a headphone jack.
I just upgraded from an older moto power, i couldn't buy a phone that wouldnt be supported, sorry Moto
My Moto G Power 2020 lasted 4 years... Now I got Moto G Power 5G... It's ok... And I say that because it seems to lose a lot of battery on standby... That was never mentioned in this review.... There was bloatware to remove which was bothersome... But overall I'm not thrilled, but I will say this phone is ok.
Moto phones have been going downhill for a while now. Ive used them for over 10 years and now im worried about upgrading
Honesty
I also had the the power G 5G and I thought the battery life on that was awful. Upgraded to a Galaxy s23 FE and love it so far. But this phone the 2024 version I would definitely upgrade to if I still had the old 5G
And I learned the hard way that there's different levels to the phone. So if you buy it through straight talk or one of the carriers like that it's probably not going to have as much RAM in it they'll be a couple of subtle changes so that the phone will be cheaper. If you go through like Best buy and buy the unlocked version you'll get the phone that he's talking about on this video
@@markbarnes6149 Oh wow I didn't know that.
I bought it... The screen is dim in sunlight... The battery should be 6000MAH.... To really live up to the "Power" aspect.... 5 G does eat a lot of battery. But when you consider the price, then it IS very worth it...
Does anyone know if the Moto G power 5g 2024 cell phone will receive Android updates or will it only stay with Android 13 or 14?
Not looking specifically for Motorola, but I am looking specifically for wireless charging and a headphone jack in a phone for less than $500. Would you recommend it with those stipulations? Or do you have a better suggestion?
This phone also has wireless charging
They make adapters you can plug into your usb jack so you don't need a headphone jack.
@@marcsonnenberg623 I know, it's just incredibly impractical for the the moments that I need a headphone jack. I generally use bluetooth, but when I'm drumming for long sets, we'll sometimes play covers and I may need to quickly switch my in ear monitors into my phone to refer back to the original song for a quick few seconds before switching it back. So it needs to be quick, easy and accessible. Not an extra adapter to carry around.
What about the camera awitch feom 2023. I loved my 2023 camera. 2024 doesnt have macro or depth and i cant secide of the ultrawide makes up for that loss.
One update is OK 2 would be great. Security updates are good. Samsung pulled a fast one on the extended Android updates. Why? Because after one update almost all the A series phones slow down and lag. With second updates lagging is bad. One problem is the 4gb ram on the lower A series phones. Also the Samsung skin on Android is a weight on the system with the low ram and low internal storage on some of their phones. The biggest issue are the old and slow Mediatek processors. Like the 700 or just a rebranded processor.
Havent picked up a motorola since pre-smartphone. now that lg has stopped, and sony has to be bought outright where I live, I feel this might be myy next phone. I will not buy a phone without a headphone jack. I just cant stand the idea. usually a mid range or flagship kinda guy, but I think I'm unfortunatley gonna have to go budget.
i wish it had Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6 - others specs are hit. I would love for Samsung to do away with glass backs and use these similar material on the back of their flagship devices
with all that talking i either missed it or u didn't even cover the *PRIMARY* function - calls. more specifically - *CONNECTIVITY*.
this is a 5G 'dual' SIM ('dual' meaning it's not physical SIMs, it's a single physical SIM + an eSIM).
so, the ? about connectivity is still open: is it 'dual 5G standby' ?
I would also recommend.the Motorola Think Phone its anout $100 more you're getting a Snapdragon 8gen 1 a 68 watt charger in the box 144 hz refresh HDR 5,000mAh battery
Very true. However I will say if someone is adamant about having a headphone jack and SD card slot this is still a great phone to get otherwise.
Also better software support.
Snapdrag 8 gen 1 is overheating trash
@@SamanthaKMidnightslip
Yup,but the ThinkPhone has the 8+gen 1
Which is cooler😉
@@eduardo28grams how better is the software support on the ThinkPhone?
I bought the Motorola G Power 2023 last year and I love it. I started with the Motorola G Pure in 2019 and really liked it as well. The Power 5g is a big step up from the pure 😂. I was thinking about picking up the new Power 2024, but is the mediatek deminsity 7020 processor in it better than the 2023 mediatek deminsity 930? I'm still trying to learn when it comes to hardware 😂
индикатор пропущенных сообщений есть?
Loving the smooth scrolling on this 120Hz display. Makes everything feel so much faster with the dimensity 7020.
If you get the 256 GB its a very good deal. The Samsung one you mentioned is limited to certain carriers unlocked. And some of the other phones don't offer 256 gb
Im a moto fanboy, especially when the phone is being offered for free. I never did and still dont understand people who play games or watch movies on a little phone screen. Guess I came up where both of those were only done on much bigger screens so the minimum for me to do either of those aforementioned is a 17 inch laptop screen. So this phone is way more than someone like me would need anyway and most importantly it is free. Yes, it is locked to a carrier, but if I did need an unlocked phone in the future, Im losing no cash since this one is free.
Does this phone have NFC? I might have missed that if it was mentioned
Yes
@@raidenrequenaaaa
Thanks for confirming
I buy a Motorola phone every 5 years. I currently have a 2019 Moto G7 running old Android 10 and is a 4g. Phone. It's charge point is finally starting to go and it's battery isn't efficient. I am going with the Moto G power 5g. I love the moto gestures and this will be my 3rd phone in 10 years. I am not a gamer or a streamer. Great phone but it through a upgrade special if you can.
I had a iphone 11 for about 3 years. I paid like 250$ for this phone up front. It feels super premium, good flow & feels alot like the lg phones.
If someone wants a basic android phone with some fun features i feel like this is the perfect phone esp for budget. And it has a headphone jack
It had me on storage expansion.
I got a Moto5g 2024 about 2 months ago. Charging is horrific. From 100% to 30% in less than 10 hours. Turned it off to charge and it only went to 46% after 40 minutes. It truly sucks.
I recently just received this phone which is what I'm using to leave this comment I'm really pissed it is no option to move apps to SD but what I'm also just finding out that what is going on with fast touch I can't find the settings anywhere the camera shake works but what about the flashlight how the hell do you turn it on meaning when you do the chopped gesture with your phone it doesn't turn the flashlight off or on
It's Cuz to prevent security issues/stability problems or something (at least that's what motorola says)
But I think it's Cuz THAT feature is A SAMSUNG FEATURE.....
(Cuz only THOSE phones can do it, lol)
Go to settings, scroll to Gestures click and scroll to turn on flashlight gesture.
You forgot to talk about wireless charging
Seems like a decent deal right now on Cricket at $89 upgrade for existing users, but i'm not sure if the carrier versions have lower RAM specs like some other moto phones, if its really 8GB thats pretty good. Cricket never lists RAM specs on their phones probably for this reason lol.
with the trouble I'm having with my 2023 stylus that I got as a free upgrade with cricket; I'm going to hedge my bets and never get another phone from a carrier. Even if the cricket bloatware isn't causing my performance issues; I would rather it not be there in the first place.
@@dscrive I ended up buying the Power it's been great so far but I did a factory reset on day 2 after realizing the battery was draining way faster than it should plus the haptic feedback wasn't working at all even when using hardware diagnostics in the Moto Device Help app, it said warranty repair might be needed but after a factory reset the battery is lasting even longer than my 2021 Stylus 5G (which also has good battery life) and haptic is working. Crickets version of the Power does have 8GB RAM / 128GB storage so pretty good deal IMO. As for the initial battery / haptic issue when I first setup the phone I used Googles account transfer feature where it copies over contacts / apps / device settings etc. with a USB cable connected between both phones (cable came with the Power) during this copy process the phone had a system update that was installing in the background so not sure if there was any conflicts there, after the factory reset I did the google transfer again but only chose to copy over my Contacts, music & sounds and not the old device settings etc which in hindsight not sure why you'd want this, it even duplicated my old lock screen settings, wallpaper, fonts etc. EDIT: Cricket is getting the 2024 Stylus 5G in the next few weeks too.
I purchased from Total By Verizon and my phone has 128GB and 8GB. They did not mess with the specs.
Got this phone for FREE through Straight Talk after losing my Moto G Pure. Best upgrade ever. And it's good enough so I can post CZcams videos.
THINKING ABOUT GETTING ANOTHER MOTOROLA I DON'T KNOW YET I GOT A MOTO G POWER 2022
One update for a $50 budget phone from a carrier is good. 2 to 3 years sec8 updates is good.
Cool phone review
Thanks boss!
I've got this phone and I love it
Just bought one through visible for 165. I think its well worth that price.
This phone looks decent for what it is although I don’t think anyone should buy it unless you get it for free or heavily discounted. I believe the new 2024 Moto G Stylus 5g is being released at the end of this month(May 2024). It will retail for $399 and will have a 6.8 pOled display, dual speakers, wireless charging, a new magnetic stylus setup, and the snapdragon 6 gen 1. Although they should have updated the processor, the new Stylus is the one to buy. It’ll come in a beige/tan or a scarlet wave(red) color. The only downside on the new Stylus is it won’t have IP 67 or 68 ratings and will likely be IP 52 which is Motorola’s “splash proof” coating. Still, I think the G Stylus 5g 2024 or even the Motorola ThinkPhone would both be better than the G Power 24.
I can get it for $45 on a carrier deal, I want it for gaming
Buy the nuu a25 or nuu b30 pro instead
as simple as it is.... The headphone jack sold me on this.
Yay Motorola 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for watching!
The battery life is definitely a major selling point for me
That was this big movement in the past that nobody wanted their phones to be seen from the side but now they do for what reason?
It's Secret Agent stuff, you're a civilian, you wouldn't understand
@@user-ep3bb9fk6n I don't think you understood my sarcasm 🤣 the funny part is you would be surprised to field of workl that I have retired from 🤦🏾♂️
i just bought a moto g power 5g from walmart for $149. I sthis the same phone? heard you day it coats 299.
Yes. If you purchased from a prepaid carrier, you get a discount because it is locked to the carrier for a specific amount of time.
who would look at their phone from the side ..most are looking at it head on unless your a weird who watches from the side
If they can get this down to under 200$ it would make a nice beater phone. I dropped motorola after the moto g power 2020 when the next version got worse. Moved to samsung because they started promising 5 years of support and for the price you can't beat that. bought some smart tags for things I want to track now I'm in the samsung ecosystem. Low end motorolas make for good beater phones. I still use my G power 2020 as my bike phone on my handlebars for runkeeper. Moto needs to step up their game and give at least 2 timely major uppdates minimum.
I prefer bezels to be big I hate accidentally hitting buttons
128 GB of storage should be the minimum amount that you should have for any 5G phone. On my Moto G Stylus 5G 2022 I have 256 GB and 6 gigabytes of RAM. Even with the exterior storage of 256 GB which was included with the phone.
You can get less storage 64GB and 3GB with the Moto g Play 2024 for $50 on most prepaid providers. Some people don't need a lot of storage. They use their phone for a phone and not a computer, gaming system and television.
I remember uograding my boost mobile Moto G Stylus 2023 to Android 14 and it completely f'd up my phone.
GPS?
Every phone SHOULD have a GPS what type of question is that 😭
that's not a thick bezel
You really could have started with how to power it on
And gotta love Moto gestures!
Hopefully prepaid carriers can pick it up and lower the price.
Facts, I was hoping they would!
Cricket has it right now, free with new service and about $89 (+ activation) for existing users.
I’m looking at this review right now because boost has it on sale for $10 out of $149 🎉 I’m tryna see if it’s worth it
Just ordered it today for $50 from straight talk
@@mohmedabdul-wahid6105 I need tracfone to get it.
But it's like have a privacy screen 👍
also this phone does have snapdragon...... its a steal
The biggest issue will be yhe Mediatek processor. They slow down and lag quickly.
Wow, 120Hz display on a budget phone? That's impressive, especially with the Dimensity 7020 chip.
Snapdragon way better
Not bad for $10 bucks on boost mobile 😁
Hate boost mobile always slow speeds down when you pass a certain limit
tbh I thinks the 120 refresh is kinda overrated. I'd much rather have sd card support and a headphone jack and a better stronger processor
To each there own ☺️👍. Thanks for watching!
@Oldasianguy 90% of smartphone users are sheep manipulated from youth by corporations seeking profits through planned obsolescence.
Wired headphones: Better sound at 1/10th the price, less weight in ear, more difficult to lose, cheaper entry point, doesn't have a non-replaceable battery, easier to waterproof, stays cooler without battery, less lag with video sync, more comfortable.
Wireless headphones: No wire.
I'm just waiting for Apple to announce a new cliff jumping feature.
Well, this phone has 2 out of 3 which ain't bad.....
The only thing I like here is the faux leather lining , other than that I would get a Samsung Galaxy A34 over this and way cheaper.
Hopefully prepaid carriers can pick it up and lower the price.
@@TimAl-ro5cw $298.00 for new Google Pixel 7a
I don't play any mobile games. I think they're all terrible, and feel so bad.
I just want a reallllly big battery so I can text and not have a dead phone in 5 hours.
This phone will last you 5 hours if you are just using it for texting and not your gaming system.
I am buying this for the ips panel. The oled makes me sick & burns my eyes
I think this is one of the few phones left on the market with IPS displays which is very sad.
I purchased his phone and I do not like it. It is very hard to navigate between screens and my home screen does not look like the one above. There are no buttons at the bottom. I have have Motrola phones for 10 years and by far this one is thhe worse.
I believe you can go in the settings of the phone to get the navigation buttons at the bottom of the screen to stay. Instead of having to swipe them up every time you need to use them.
You have the option to add the navigation buttons. I have this phone and had to change a lot of settings to make it function exactly like I had my Moto G 5G Stylus 2021 set up. Just took a little searching and it was done in 5 minutes
What about playing Roblox?
Has anyones moto g got so hot that it cracked the screen
💪💪💪💪💪💪
I think with the Moto G phones you WILL see more of the bezels just like the Moto G Stylus 5G 2022 just what I currently have.
Straight Talk is giving this phone away for free when you buy one month of service for $45!
nobody wacth a phone in a angle
Speak English.
?
What are you talking about?
He is speaking English!!
THANKS, I really needed your INFO & INPUT on this because I'm getting ready to buy it for my UP GRADE from my MOTO G 4.😁
Does anyone know if the Moto G power 5g 2024 cell phone will receive Android updates or will it only stay with Android 13 or 14?
