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...
@@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 RUclips 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 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!
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.
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'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.
@@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!
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 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 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'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.
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 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?
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 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
@@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.
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.
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.
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!!
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. 😊
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.
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
@@chadn1995same. 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..
@@chadn1995yeah, 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.
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.
This is the worst smartphone I've ever had. The processor is actually just a wet macaroni noodle jammed inside the phone, I imagine. The camera (photo and video) is incredibly laggy. "System UI" (so the entire phone, basically) just randomly stops working more often than is excusable. I am not trying to do anything fancy on it. When I put someone on speakerphone they can't hear me talk anymore. Randomly says I have no service suddenly while still showing 5 bars and then works again after I restart it, which is a painful process that takes way too long. Also, nice job making the TOP volume and power button the combination I need to power on and off. Love having to use both hands for that, since the bottom volume and power together (which was how it worked on my last Motorola) just asks if I want to use Gemini AI. No, I do not. Thank you for telling me that I have "GREAT NEW FEATURES!" available on my phone every week, though, while the absolute basics still barely work.
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.
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!

No OLED! Fantastic news for those of us that get migraines from OLED screens or lighting.

Nice review. Never, never pay or have any banking on your phone. You have been warned.
Watching the video on my moto g power 5g 2023.
Yeah I got mine for 99 at Walmart 128 gig with 4 gigs of ram
Does this phone support video output via HDMI to USB c?

why do you use it to record im curious
Great video as usual, thanks again kevin!!
Will you do the Moto G 5G 2023?
yes
Hate the clock other than that its fine.
Why does it look like it has a lag when on camera? Is it just to process the object to make it look better?
I still find it kind of that doesn't have 4K recording when my Moto g power 2020 did
Will it work with free up mobile?
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
Watching this on it👍💥,,and i use my 15w charger from 2020 g power
Thanks dude, great informative video 👍
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.
I wish you launched some apps to see how it performs and also switching between apps man come on. 😅
