@@thoughtstorn854yes. it's a decent phone the only thing I would say is be mindful that it has no wireless charging or NFC, it also isn't water resistant I flooded the phone by accident and it survived but one of the buttons doesn't work. That being my volume down button. I've used it on AT&T and T-Mobile and they both work good.
How is the battery life? Is it as good as the original Motorola power that I bought for 200$ new when it came out the battery would really last 2 days and that was heavy CZcams watching scrolling etc but my wife bought the 2022 version of the Motorola g power and it would be lucky to last a day with me it would only last 9-10 hours
I bought this phone for my wife as an early Christmas present and although the Blu S90 Pro she has still works well, it is finally starting to show its age. Her Blu phone doesn't have 5G service, it's running on Android 10 and she occasionally has trouble with the screen freezing up when trying to answer calls. I've been playing around with the Moto G Power 5G getting it set up for her and I even got her a purple military grade case off Amazon to help protect it. Me and few coworkers of mine all bought new phones and I thought my wife deserved a new phone for all she's done financially for me over the past few months...
I just got this phone 2 days ago and I think it's great! It replaced my 2019 moto g7 power. A lot to learn here. Much more advanced. Went from 32gb storage to a whopping 256! Got it for $250 at Best Buy. I recommend this phone!
@@waxdoe115 s20 especially s20 is the goat of smartphones! I still prefer my ultra over the s22, hasnt tried the s23 yet but so far ive kept my s20 ultra! Onpy downside is a cracked screen is $280 to fix 😆 but i had paid $1400 for the phone when it came out so it was worth it i guess. Buying this moto for my daughter though. If I could find an s20 for this price is be on it!
I've had So many different phones. The big battery alone is enough to pick a motoGpower. But aside from battery Motorola while not the top end is Very VERY reliable and sturdy. If you're going budget, get Moto Power products. Hands down the best. Performs for like flagship than any other budget phones.
The only problem of putting the finger print scanner on the side is if you put a strong protective cover like the Otter your finger tip doesn't reach because of the narrowness of the hole😮. But I don't mind using the four digit passcode and I don't trust the face recognition ones!😬🙆😏☺
I actually watch it with G Power 5G It's much like the 2020 predecessor You can take 1080p60 video (you need at least 20MB/s writing card) Speakers are good Display is fine It's recommended to turn back tap off to prevent mis operation It should have power touch like Edge It can take 15 watts standard charging Display size is same as Edge 2022 It has FM radio It has 8-9 hours SOT compared 10 hours on 2020 version It's recommended if you can live without NFC
I purchased this phone for temporary until my Samsung galaxy S24 get here. I was happy with this phone it works better than my Samsung galaxy A53 5G that stop work.this moto g power does have fast charge but with the huge battery it has it takes a while to charge it
I've had this phone for around 4 months now and so far I haven't been missing flagships. Performance is decent, there's plenty of storage space that I can expand, the headphone jack is great, and there haven't been any major problems. The phone does everything I need it to do without being annoying.
Im on my second week with my Power 5G 2023. It's my second Power. The first was the 64Gb with no year designation. Both were purchased at the end of their model year because I like spending 200 bucks for a competent smart phone. Now I have a cheap phone that does things well for the cost that has no power or memory anxiety. I'm very happy.
@@johndoekobe5619 I just did last week because the old one was getting slow and sluggish. I attribute that to apps being constantly updated for no reason. It gets to the point where an older phone can't keep up.
I have this phone. It's great. The only thing I would change would be the charger. It's too slow! I would also like the battery to last longer. I am constantly using my phone and I have to charge it up many times a day. Also, it's not mentioned about the cases. Best Buy didn't sell them. I had to go to Walmart for one. It's a great case! I couldn't ask for better. Overall, this is a high quality phone!
I just bought my mom this phone and it charges REALLY fast on a USB C to C charging block. Actually you will get a message telling you the phone is turbo charging when you do that. And let me tell you…you’ll get to 100 percent from 0 in 60 minutes at the most
I have just ordered this phone, because my replacement phone the moto g play was just for temp till I researched and shopped around for a really good phone under $200. I got this same phone for $100 with plan. I will find out if its everything you display here. My concern and use of the phone will be predominantly using it with the go pro for my maker video's once everything is done. I did get the 128gb model, but was assured it is the same as the 256gb model with the same expandable 1tb sd card storage slot. I thought good enough for me. I will post a video once i've had enough workable time regarding the phone and its features so as to give opinion when asked about filming and even editing use.
I've got the 2021 moto g stylus 5g 4 camera square configuration had the power 2020 previous I think I may get this. A lot of the newer options seem like a downgrade; where as this seems promising am I missing something?
I got my new moto g power 5g two months ago,I love It ,great sound and microphone, I bought a Samsung i didn't like it , it was too complicated Moto is so simple and easy to use.
I just got this phone and I am happy with it, but I don't feel like my voice is clear to the other people I am calling - they say it sounds unclear, slightly muffled, but I have completely checked that my microphones are free of dirt etc. When I do a mic test on the phone using an app to do the mic test, my voice is very clear. When I use the mic tester that comes with the phone, it does not sound that great. Does anybody know why my phone may not sound good to others that I call?
have the 2022 g power scored 205 single core and 841 multi core on the benchmark, potato like and takes 6 mins to restart might get this phone or a google pixel 7a
don't get the google pixel 7a. I have had it for 3 months now and it played dead on me for a week. I am going to buy the Moto G power phone after I do my taxes.
This phone is definitely on my list to consider when it comes out on March 21st. Need something with a long battery life for work. I think the Mediatek chipset is an impressive one for the performance !! Very excited for this one!!
Needed a quick replacement for gig apps after dropping and shattering my old TCL phone into oblivion. Picked this up on sale at Target for $200. Does everything I need it to and the 256gigs of storage is great.
Just to update anyone regarding price. This phone is currently selling unlocked on Amazon for $199. If you’ve got time and patience I’m certain the price will drop even further. 😊
Just bought one thru xfinity in calififornia $15 a ..month un!imited text and talking. Not sure data plans... cost? $ 23.40 need to keep it 24 mknths. Beats the heck out of $27 a month flip phone thru lively.
It doesnt have enough ring tones and it takes hours to charge! I just got it and I am not sure if I want to keep it...I had the moto g 2020 it was better but this one has way more space and the quality of the pictures are very good
My 2021 glitches and has real issues with processing really slowly. Just trying to open the camera with a twist takes at least 10 seconds in which I miss the shot.
@@chadwinnissley5599same. However, mine really has a bad issue when I restart it. It gets stuck in the boot screen & just keeps vibrating, going black & going back to boot screen. It took like a half hour before it finally came on the other night. If this phone has a removable battery cover, I can't remember & I certainly can't figure out how to get it off..
@@chadwinnissley5599yeah, mine is starting to chug a bit, as well as freezing up for a few minutes at a time during regular ice, maybe every couple of days. Think it might be time to replace it soon.
Does it have the ready for program on it? I had it but I never looked to see if the feature was on it and decided to get the Moto edge plus 2023 because of the feature to connect it to a monitor for the larger viewing.
My son ended up with two A14s for Christmas 🤦🏾♂️I used his a little. Did some research and took the extra one back for this. Samsung budget phones just don’t hold up anymore. The A03s is the worst phone I’ve ever used in my life and it’s not far enough in price and specs from the A14 for me lol
I'm using this very phone right now and it totally sucks. The screen flips around to other screens and other apps, it does what it wants randomly. I hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it!
I bought this phone I think it's a great deal. Dual speakers headphone jack expandable storage, good display good power. I love it 1 week with it.

With Motorola, just 1 android update (to Android 14) and 2 security updates.
LOVE your channel Kevin. You're reviews are awesome and very informative.
I really like this one, im getting it soon unlocked at Best Buy. Thanks amigo, for the great review.👍

Will you do the Moto G 5G 2023?
yes
I've got the 2021 moto g stylus 5g 4 camera square configuration had the power 2020 previous
I think I may get this.
A lot of the newer options seem like a downgrade; where as this seems promising am I missing something?
I got it. I'm a fan, battery life decreased because the screen quality went up. Sound is better, haptics, screen, and style is improved.
Watching the video on my moto g power 5g 2023.
Does this phone support video output via HDMI to USB c?
I got my new moto g power 5g two months ago,I love It ,great sound and microphone, I bought a Samsung i didn't like it , it was too complicated Moto is so simple and easy to use.
Nice review. Never, never pay or have any banking on your phone. You have been warned.
I wish you launched some apps to see how it performs and also switching between apps man come on. 😅
always love the s10 lol
why do you use it to record im curious
I just got this phone and I am happy with it, but I don't feel like my voice is clear to the other people I am calling - they say it sounds unclear, slightly muffled, but I have completely checked that my microphones are free of dirt etc. When I do a mic test on the phone using an app to do the mic test, my voice is very clear.

Watching this on it👍💥,,and i use my 15w charger from 2020 g power
have the 2022 g power scored 205 single core and 841 multi core on the benchmark, potato like and takes 6 mins to restart might get this phone or a google pixel 7a

@@alohaguy_857 yeah idk might get pixel 8 or iPhone something
What's the charging speed on this phone like though?
The charging speed with the charger it comes with is too slow! I am planning to buy a turbo charger to improve the speed.
Takes 3-4 hours to get 100% from 40%
Does Motorola Power support Dark Mode?
Yes

BTW, you don't play around and get down to the nitty gritty in this vid! I'm excited as I am getting this phone soon!
10:44 unlike windows lol
Why does it look like it has a lag when on camera? Is it just to process the object to make it look better?

Just switched from iPhone 13 and im loving the moto g power 2023
May I ask why you switched? I have an iPhone 13 too and I'm seriously considering switching to Android as my main.
I just prefer Android cuz I enjoy the customization
So basically the G Power 2023 is the true successor to the 2020 model. 2021 and 22 SUCKED
My 2021 glitches and has real issues with processing really slowly. Just trying to open the camera with a twist takes at least 10 seconds in which I miss the shot.
@@lmd6204 I have the 2022 model and the only positive thing is the battery. Very slow sluggish and freezes.

I cant slide my screen to another screen
There are some rumors of the Motorola brand doing 3 to 4 year software updates . Is this phone included in that deal . Does anyone know ?..
My understanding is just 1 Android update (to 14) and 2 security updates. Motorola isn't known for being generous with updates.
Just bought mine, its slow and lags a lot. Any way to make it faster? Memory is only 10% full.
It should NOT do that! I have one and it never lags. It's the exact opposite of slow!

This phone doesn’t have HDMI out so that feature wouldn’t work

How do you use it to scan q-codes?
Huh?
Point the camera at the QR code
Better than Moto G53 for the display
I'm using this very phone right now and it totally sucks. The screen flips around to other screens and other apps, it does what it wants randomly. I hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it!
