      The worst Motorola mobile in the world. No one , wise person, buy it. If anything happens the buyer should throw it in garbage or pay unbelievable amount to repair. I promise I will never buy anything of Motorola. It considers only exploitation and misleading. My phone is unusable though it is under warranty. simple 'vibrating not stopping' problem was there. They first told me that problem had in socket after 10 days in the motherboard. I was told it would costs almost RS. 7000 (the same amount of new mobile ) then the told me after 40% it will cost 4400 RS. Only stuped can go for it. I sent mails to service centre, however fundamentally Co. Policy is worst and low level so you will never expect solutions from it. They will only blame you and avoid warranty. They will say Liquid problem or else. Even if it not happened you can't prove that, you have to only listen them. Just think , if it happens to this mobile what would be happened if you bought MOTOROLA hi cost phone. You have to sale your home to pay repairing cost

    The review came off to me more like a "personal" attack on Motorola & the phone. The phone seemed to function fine during his review.Yes it's not super fast as a higher end phone but for the price I believe it's a good decent phone. Not every person is into all the latest tech updates and beat camera pictures. The review was harsh and the narrator came off as if it was more 9d a paid for hit piece in my opinion.

      I use it sometimes and the biggest issues are 3gb ram and 32 gb storage out of which only ~12 to 15gb is usable and the last update on my cricket version is May 2023.
      Compare that to the Moto g pure or A03s which are better devices for the same money.

    In Europe Motorola totally destroyed their G series in 2023 with poor LCD screens and often poor performance and a terrible 1 OS upgrade policy. Motorola Edge series is doing great things with Motorola Edge 40 getting much praise and selling really well with vegan leather finishes plus IP68 water resistance (and Razr Foldables too). But fortunately Motorola seems to be making a comeback with new G series models starting to arrive now this autumn, G14, G54 etc seems to be much better in almost every way compared to G13, G53, G73 etc which all were very disappointing and overpriced.

    My dad got this phone and it's great, it's a phone for phone calls that's what it is for period.
    People are way too hung up (pun not intended) on " what's the specs" , " does it have a high powered camera for filming a movie" , " does it have the highest CPU for web searching" , "does it have 4k resolution" so on and so on.
    How about we go back to Payphones and corded phones at home , call collect , White Pages and Yellow Pages etc.... this was all before cellphones even existed, so before anyone complains their phone doesn't have the very best of multimedia crap on it , you should thank God you don't have to deal with long lines at payphones and tying up the lines at home because your siblings or parents are gossiping all day on the home phone.

  • @nadtz

    Sadly I can nothing but agree. My old phone died so I didn't have time to do research before getting a new phone. This phone was basically free for me so it's not like I paid for it but I was amazed that this phone actually felt slower than my 4 year old g7 power (more likely it was probably about the same but being able to put lineage OS on the g7 probably helped a bit) considering how minimal my phone needs are.
    I didn't mind the build or form factor and actually liked the fingerprint sensor on the back as that's what my old phone had. SD slot and 3.5 jack were both on my want list so that was good, but in day to day use this phone just feels terrible. The only good thing like you said was the battery life. If I'm totally honest the 720p didn't really bother me but the brightness (or lack of) was noticeable. After a few days I gave up and started researching phones and ended up going for the nord N20 for ~$175 which I should have on Monday. Like you said this is now basically e-waste since I wouldn't even give or try to sell this phone to someone.

    • @PinkAgaricus
      @PinkAgaricus Před 10 měsíci +2

      Also I feel like no repair shop wants to do any sort of repair on these devices, since they have to order the parts for them (if it isn't a chipset repair). Save everyone the suffering and effort by finding a budget/midrange that the repair shop can repair. I have a Moto G 5g from last year that had both the battery and charging port go bad not even a year into having it and even the repair shop we went with had to order parts since they don't stock them. Yup depending on everyone's individual usage of these phones it just winds up being e-scrap, though when it does is "Your Mileage May Vary" depending on how it's used.
      Off on a tangent: The case for the phone (also from Motorola) since it's semi-transparent TPU on the outside got very oxidized so it looks completely different from the inside, which is still the OG color (a shade of purple, outside looks dirty, but it can't be cleaned by normal means since it's oxidization).

    I can personally attest that these "budget" phones are a cash grab. They advertise specs/features that make ppl with small budgets feel like theyre getting a nice bang for buck...but in reality you're buying a product that's virtually DOA.
    I purchased a TCL 40XL and even though it's equipped with Android 13 and a 90hz screen couldn't even perform basic everyday tasks w/o freezing and glitching.

      Yeah, I always find it interesting how these phones get advertised online and in stores.

If you can't even pull up directions on Google Maps without it struggling, what good is it?
      It's interesting to hear about your experience with the TCL 40XL too. TCL was actually making huge gains in smartphone sales last year, but this year they seem to have fallen off pretty hard. Perhaps their previous customers have already moved on.

    I have the Moto G Play 2021 edition. I don't know if the 2023 phone is worse, but my 2021 is totally adequete for what I do. I use it mostly as a phone, text with it, look up things in the browser and use google maps. CZcams videos and Disney plus are absolutely fine and buffer free as well. Icing on the cake, I can get a whole week out of a charge. I also don't use a case or screen protector on it and after a year and a half of lugging it around the screen doesn't even have a scratch.
    So, I guess my point is, these are abslutely fine for people just needing a basic phone for a good price. If you're one of those people that "LIVE" on their phones and constantly have it out and are playing with it though, you might want something a little faster. I suspect the reviewer falls into the latter category.

Having a phone like this is frustrating to use, difficult to get working again if something freezes up, and isn't an experience akin to what someone would expect in 2023. I would argue that its also borderline unreliable in certain situations where a smartphone might need to be used quickly in an emergency

    I bought my Moto g7 back in 2019 or thereabouts and it's served me very well, but the battery is dying and I don't feel like ripping it apart and probably breaking something to try and replace it. Plus, my biggest concern is that it hasn't gotten security updates since February, 2021. Which is also the reason I never consider buying "used" phones, they likely have little to no support life left. I was looking at the G Play but the specs are awful, it's half the phone my old g7 is. What I don't understand is how a phone that is years newer and costs the same ($199) can be so inferior?

    Bought this phone as a temporal replacement cause I lost my old phone which would eventually be replaced and now I know why I'm in want of a real more expensive and extensive model. This phone seems to have a mind of its own, especially when it comes to the Keyboard resetting itself over what I prefer and am accustomed to. There is no photo gallery app or music app as it is hidden and it's very limited even as compared to cheaper phones. The 'step in and step out' AI auto feature keeps resetting your app or anything you might have on hold in commentary or calculation should you go from app to app(this is the only phone that has ever done this) the (shift) keeps resetting to number pad. The internet freezes if you have more than 30 pages open. It does take great video and pictures, but accessing them is only in the files folder. What the hell is switch!!??? Also the clipboard has to be activated for retaining key text or pictures?(Should be auto) I have to continually transfer my data(pics, text, pdf's, downloads, etc) from internal to sd...!!!??? About the best phone I have ever used for function was my last LG. I am now nervous about getting a more expensive phone as 'what if this happens with the Moto Edge Plus. Reason for new phone is the camera and video features though it is absent the sd card feature though I can live with 512gb storage.
