Motorola Moto G Power 5G | 2024 | Unlocked | Made for US 8/128GB | 50MP Camera | Midnight Blue

I will start off by saying I have no interest in $1000+ cell phones - to me they are disposable devices that get replaced every few years. That said, this is the perfect phone for my purposes. The coverage (carrier dependent), audio, display quality and speed are perfect for my needs. I use the this as - wait for it - a phone - as well for texting and taking some pictures, mapping directions, etc.This is my 4th or 5th Motorola phone, and I have always been happy with the value proposition. Even through my former carrier the Motorola phones have always had much less bloatware than, say Samsung (ugh) which loads up their phones with all kinds of nonsense. When you buy it unlocked it comes with even less bloatware, and you can delete or disable most of it.It is much faster than my old phone, which one would expect, with 8MB of RAM, and 128MB of internal storage. There are several things I like about this phone, a couple being that it still has a headphone jack, and also it will take a micro SD card for additional storage. Both of these features are found on very few phones these days. There are 2 features that are unique to Motorola on the phones I have had, including this one, that are REALLY convenient. You can open the camera app just by twisting your wrist, and you can turn on the flashlight by a chopping motion - no screen to wake up or app to start up - brilliant really.Also, the battery life (5000ma) is phenomenal. I can use it all day, leave it overnight, and it will still have plenty of charge the next day. I really only charge it every other day. I will note that I turn off as many background processes as I can, don't watch movies on the phone (really?), and in general use it as a tool, not a brain-sucking toy (editorial comment :-). If you want a well functioning device and don't want to spend huge dollars this phone may be right for you.

Great phone for the price. I'm a Motorola fan and have been using my two sim Motorola One-the first one they made since 2013. Was getting slow but still a good phone. This model has plenty of built in memory for my needs and the 1tb memory card option is excellent since all the newer phones are deleting that option. It's nice to be able to have that memory card to be able to put in the computer or my android TV box and use the files on other things without having the hassle of trying to connect with other electronics. That being said, this model has an excellent built in mode where it will connect to your computer via usb without any problems or hassle and will transfer and receive files great! Haven't tried it on the android TV box I have yet. It is tough and with a screen protector almost bullet proof. Maybe soft foam nerf bullets. LOL The battery life is most excellent and doesn't seem to heat up very much what few times I've charged it. If you're looking for a great phone that is not in the thousand dollar price range that will do everything it claims to this is the one I'd recommend. Better hurry before they're all gone because the new models don't have the memory card option at all and I think that's a serious mistake on the manufacturers for doing that. I will probably use this phone for the next ten years or longer! Would recommend this phone model to my friends (if I had any) LOL

Premium phone without the heafty price tag..have switched to Motorola cuz didn't have a lot of money to spend and it was one of the best decisions I've made. Great quality, fast response, great photo and screen and awesome battery last .. cuz of me my whole family have Motorola now 😄

This is a really nice phone. I've always tried to stick with Motorola after having worked for them in the late 80s, early 90s. This was an upgrade to a 5G Ace I had for several years. This Motor 5G Power is pretty fast. The extra power is good. I didn't need this but I felt it would be better in the long run.It lives up to its claims in lasting long. It lasts much longer than my 5G Ace and it should. Using the phone you sometimes notice where a compromise to make the battery last longer was made. Certain things don't make sense about why they did it. Other quirks about it are like multi function buttons which don't make sense. The phone is fast but you'll get frustrated waiting on it at odd times. I use swipe to type with. If I try to swipe at the speed I'm used to with the 5G ACE it will skip weird, etc.Wifi works great other than surfing. The 5G connectivity and data usage work fantastic. My Ace was always out of range for any 5g signal. The 5G connectivity has been important to me.This phone has so many pros the cons won't really matter to most. I have monster hands that most people don't. For me, it went from hard to type to very hard to type. The multi function buttons seem unnecessary and unintuitive. Lots of notifications turned on in the first use which are difficult to get turned off. And you think you have those turned off but another one pops up. Annoying but manageable.A good Pro for me is the display. I have a form of AMD which makes it hard to read phones sometimes. This phone has more adjustments for fonts and icon sizes than ever seen before.And the front or rear are very sharp. Taking a photo of a car one day when I noticed the cars lines were more visible on the screen. (For me)Things like those are why I love these Moto phones.I'd give it 5 stars if not for the speed and quirks. Those may not matter to anyone who really needs the power. I was hospitalized for a few days recently. The phone charger I grabbed going out the door was broken by the time I was in a room. The phone lasted the weekend until I could get s working charger.The phone looks great in the green color. The fingerprint sensor is a little hard to calibrate but it works great. It's covered up with the case I use. There are some cases that have an opening to use the sensor.Overall, a great phone. Too much sacrificed for power. I'm probably going to purchase a regular Moto 5G

I bought this based on a review of budget phones in the New York Times. I am very pleased with the performance and appearance of this phone. I am not a demanding user but I think this is a great buy, especially for the price. This is a major upgrade for me from my Moto e.
