I'm happy to answer questions, but it takes a lot of time to make videos only to respond to questions already answered in the video. So don't expect a reply to a question that's already been answered.
From your time with both the Samsung A50 and Moro G Power, did you notice performance difference at all? Seem very similar. One has bigger battery. Other has oled screen. I’m deciding between them.
Bought this phone a couple of days ago it is an awesome phone. I am coming from a Note 10 plus and find that this Moto G Power does everything just as well. I am totally sick of spending a $1,000 + on a phone
Is it still doing well for you? I find your comment super helpful as I'm going to this phone from a flagship as well. I have the galaxy S8 but can't stand the poor battery life on it and want something new. Like you I don't wanna spend much either.
@@GhostAcez I had the s8 I use to love that phone the nee a series are terrible I've had the a20 and a50 I hope you have a better experience with the moto
@@tinkerbell5646 It's been great honestly aside from a couple tiny inconviences here and there that are mainly due to the large size plus the small bezels means that I accidently touch the screen sometimes. The reason I got this phone though was the battery life. It was a great upgrade in that department!! I rarely have to charge it and I consume a lot of youtube videos on it.
@@tinkerbell5646 You're welcome. 1 other thing I worried about was the processor in it because it's technically slower than the one in th galaxy S8. But to be 100% honest I don't notice a difference and I much prefer this battery life lol
This review was great! I'm glad you specifically took a look at this version as all other reviews seem to be of the unlocked version for quite a bit more money
I got 13 hours of screen on time on the Moto G Power and it had gotten to 15%. That includes video calling. The battery is really good, and the other companies can learn something from Motorola with battery. I have adaptive battery on.
straight talk is excellent you can use your device on any of the major networks through straight talk and they have an excellent unlimited plan inform yourself kid
@@wapsplitter61 why would I want to use that garbage when I can go to T-Mobile directly. I don't care what their plans are I'm not supporting a third party company.
Bought this phone 4 months ago. It was an awesome phone! Definitely didn't know what I had. My girlfriend told me to buy a case for it and I didn't listen. I dropped it and the screen is smashed! Still using it too. Now I'm regretting not listening to her! 😭
I bought the unlocked Moto G Power from Best Buy last month and I'm using it on Cricket Wireless. I really like the Moto G Power. The speakers are the best I have heard on a phone, amazing battery life plus it take some pretty good pictures. Well worth the money . I highly recommend the Moto G Power.
Me too man. Got this unlocked yesterday from Best buy, and it's amazing. Screen is really good, camera is good, speakers are phenomenal and the battery is incredible. I recommend this phone to anyone
I bought a Moto e6. And it has a bunch of issues. The autorotation doesn't work. It randomly changes without moving the phone. The notification sound starts of so low you can't hear it if it's a short tone. I think it has something to do with the increasing ringtone feature. I really like the g power. Any of these issues with this phone?
Is this phone better than the Note 8? I'm currently using that and about to go to the iPhone 8 but I want to go on my own phone plan alas straight talk. I've seen a BUNCH of good things about this phone. Is the call quality decent?
I want that phone because my Moto E5 plus it's on its last leg the phone ain't broken every update that they put out the phone get slower I think they're doing that so they make you upgrade.
Yeah some manufacturers do update and update and it does make some phones slower, especially Samsung and Apple are known to do this, but the E5 plus is more of a budget phone and with the apps and games getting bigger. It can make the phones slower as time goes on, because it doesn't have enough RAM and the processor can't handle as much. I highly recommend the Moto G Power.
I own the 2021 G Power It Has A Bigger Display, Better Main Camera On The Rear And Has A Snapdragon 662 But There Is No FHD Display, Stereo Speakers, 4k Recording On The Rear And No Ultra Wide Camera They Added A Depth Camera Which I Don't Know Why But Other Than That It's A Decent Phone I Paid $89 For Mine On Boost Mobile It's Really Good
Hi I just bought this phone is yours experiencing any quick battery drain mine dropped probably 5-8 percent in 20 mins or less but I have not activated it thought?
Great video. I am thinking about getting this phone and have been searching around to get answers to various questions. Your video was to the point and provided answers to all my questions and more. I have bookmarked your link for future reference after I get the phone.
How is The Speaker's Audio Quality On This Phone...(?) What is Actual WIDTH of this phone's screen -- i.e. say when Viewing A CZcams Video...(?) What's The Latest/Current (yet 'Mid-Range Priced' -- maximum $200, @ 32 GB or higher) MOTO Phone that You would recommend...(?) Thanks So Much For This Video & Keep Up The Great Work...(!)
@ CV Tech is the Moto e6 worth fifty bucks? I know it's only 16 gigs of memory but I really only do social media and CZcams. Would the e6 be good for that? I'd really like to have a Gpower but I can't afford it. Great video.
Last week I switched from G7 Power to G Power. After a day I switched back to G7. The main problem was the hotspot could not be used and my provider could not solve the problem. I have had G7s (3 lines) since Aug 2019 and I bought G Power as soon as it was available, paid $179 +tax, because I wanted 64gb with 4gb RAM and to upgrade to Android 10 but those are not worth not having the hot spot. Also the new processor is no big deal, at all, not a noticeable upgrade. Battery life is great but that was not an improvement over G7. And the new G Power feels cheap and I absolutely hate the uncentered camera "dot", that is an eyesore. I do not recommend G Power if you already enjoy G7. I have been a Straight Talk customer for a decade and the G7 is their best performer with supported features.
Wow that’s a better battery and a budget fun than an $800 phone. My battery is just amazing makes me almost want one. I got a Telya man my next one won’t be an $800 phone I can absolutely promise you that.
I had Straight talk services on four phones for 3 years the 4G LTE speed was more like 2G speeds most of the time the telephone talk service was ok, I had a combination of Verizon server T-Mobile server AT&t server, one of the phones that was on the Verizon server there at the last the LTE would keep falling out and I would only have 3G when I left straight talk I tried to get my phone unlocked but I had had for over a year and a half no show no go straight talk is not going to give your phone to you after you have paid for it...... Straight talk really needs to do something because this new service is coming up like T-Mobile and Visible will put them out of business, 2021 everyone should have unlimited plus hotspot this is ridiculous Straight talk should be ashamed of their self.......
I have had Straight talk services for 2 years the telephone talk service is okay but the 4G LTE is more like 2G my phone would keep falling out of 4G services and it should not because it is a very good phone with good radios the Moto z4 I also have a iPhone 11 it would do the same thing, my wife Samsung S10 was on the AT&t server it would fall out in different areas very easy the same phone I had had previously on T-Mobile server no problem.... The iPhone and the Moto z4 were on the Verizon servers the 4G LTE was horrible..... Straight talk still wanting a lot of money for cheap services I mean they should be all unlimited with hotspot capabilities and not limited this is 2021..... Visible and T-Mobile will put them out of business before long..... PS Straight talk will not unlock your phone it don't matter if you have had it for a year and a half they will not do it hope this is help someone to save you from the headache and the heartache that I have had.....
I came from the iphone community and have this phone now and love it. No sense in spending big money when I get just as good of a phone like this paying wayyyyyy less. Well I actually get MORE with this phone cause you have a headphone jack and comes w a charger. Apple get ur shit together
I got mine yesterday at best buy for $179... awesome... awesome... phone...as far as I'm concerned, Motorola hit a home run here! This phone is exactly what most people want in a smartphone...and for the price....one of the best deals out there...
@@goatman5475 I couldn't find anywhere in the camera settings where it has any kind of stabilization. I even looked on some mobile websites and couldn't find any either.
Hi i am looking to purchase a new phone. Do you still have this one and does it still work well? Any information would be very much appreciated. Thanks.
On the straight talk website every you give your zip code it gives you Verizon or att towers depending on who has better service in your area. Most of the time it's Verizon. Sometimes it's att.
Buy the phone unlocked from Amazon, Best Buy, B&H Photo or directly from Motorola.

Anyone think it would work with a Verizon sim or would it still not work. I put a vz sim in an unlocked straight talk phone and calls and text worked but data didn't.
Just curious why you want to change your sim card? But on the left side of the phone there's a sim card tray. You should have gotten a sim card tool in the box.
I'm thinking of buying this phone, Is it VolTE capable? since my carrier is requiring VolTE I need find out if the phone is compatible before buying it .

Hi i am looking to purchase a new phone. Do you still have this one and does it still work well? Any information would be very much appreciated. Thanks.
Watching in the UK on my Moto g8 power.
What network does the phone run off of? You said verizon but Straight Talk website said A&tt
It runs on the Verizon network. Where on the Straight Talk website did it say AT&T?
On the straight talk website every you give your zip code it gives you Verizon or att towers depending on who has better service in your area. Most of the time it's Verizon. Sometimes it's att.
I believe it's whatever towers you have most in your area.
If it works on AT&T towers, can you put a Cricket sim in it? I've had straight talk phones where that's worked, in the past.
I’m not buying this because the g7 power got android 10 so this more than likely will not get anything past 10
What is that
I heard that it will be updated to android 11.
Maybe it will hasn't yet 1 year oater
Will this work on Cricket? It used to be that Straight Talk phones would work on Cricket when you switched the sim, as Straight Talk uses AT&T towers.
i'm getting a motorola phone for my birthday that is coming up I don't know what model it is going to be, but i'm exited
But it bounces gotten really great it’s amazing
Would you change if u got g7 power ??
I'm hoping that Cricket will sell it for the same price.
