Major pro that you missed: It has a headphone jack!
Facts I didn't even think of that. Thanks boss!
Heck yeah, I really prefer having the old school jack IMO! You never know with Bluetooth if it will default to a speaker rather then a headphone and then your conversation or video is broadcast across the whole house
Yup no matter how shitty a phone is....if it has a headphone jack it's better than iphone 26.
@@joesmobody5152 And this phone doesn’t even seem to be that bad of a phone.
@@amberdawn390....in a day and age where most phone manufacturers are eliminating and not including it, that's still worthy of pointing out.
Headphone jack & stereo speakers should be a standard on phones.
I bought one of those USB C dongles and lost it within a month.
And Bluetooth headphones break way too easily. I'll take my 3mm jack everyday of the week.
This is easily the best Moto g power because of the design, 120 hertz refresh rate, fingerprint sensor, 5g finally, 5,000 mAh battery and $300 price tag makes it a very decent deal. The biggest cons are no NFC and no OLED screen. Also, Motorola should get with 2023 and up their software OS and security patch updates. I do think it's kinda ridiculous you can pick up a Pixel 6 as I did off Amazon renewed for $248 and it's almost 2 years old and will get more support with more features. I'm a huge Motorola fan but they need to start being a bit more modern on some things.
Still enjoying my my Motorola G Power 2022!
@@tieronedkj1785 Still enjoying my quite superior Moto G Power 2020 :)
I think it's because there's a ton of different Moto devices, but there's not many pixels (regular, a, and pro). I imagine that's a lot of compatibility they'd have to consider while adding OS updates.
@@nunyadambidniss That's what I have now. I was considering this new one though
agreed
Great video 😎👍. Do you have any idea when the Moto g stylus 2022 is getting Android 12?
TY for the review..Planning on getting this phone my other moto 7 supra from 4 years ago finally got dropped enough to kill it .I usually keep my phones for as long as possible ...maybe I'm old school and get so attached to my phones .so pray 🙏🏻 it will last me for the next 5 years ahead .I'm getting an extra strong case and screen cover to protect it from dropping..You've convinced Me...Do I can switch to a turbo charger to charge it faster and it will be alright? 👍🥰
Very informative pal----much appreciated! Shalom!
I'm still rockin' my galaxy S9. It's still going strong. 😂
But I appreciate the reviews, as Im is looking to get a new phone for cheap.
I loved that phone! I think you'd like the pixel 6a. Best phone out rn for $299. Thanks for watching!
I just picked a Prepaid version (by Straight Talk) for $100 at Walmart.
For this price, it's really hard to complain about it . 😊
ETA: This version only has 4GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage..
I also have this device. For $299. The price was a bit much. But it was an itch I had to get on this device out of the gate. Motorola could have had....dare to say.... a Pixel 6a killer here. But a few things here. YES, the 6A will be the iPhone SE of android once the 7a drops at a $299 price but this Moto will be a darn near free on a port in . AND again, this Moto came short ... again.... 1 OS major update!?!? and no NFC. The lack of NFC was a BIG let down,because I did not do my homework and assumed it would. I use Google pay.
The UI is so Pixel like. Yes for the 1st 24 hours the phone was a little laggy. After that, the SoC ( Media-tek) has been... ok. I did not have time to play games. But after that it has been a good experience. The phone has the Pixel dialer so I have call screening. I pay for Google 1 so I get magic eraser / Pixel-like camera features. The 6GB of ram and 256GB is awesome. I have the white version. It is really sharp.
But with Pixel A line OR the Samsung A line (espl. the A54 ) I find it hard to recommend, if for free and NFC is not being used-then it's a maybe.
Sorry for the wordie comment.😁 But I like to share experiences .
Thanks for sharing brother 👍
I guess with the pixel 7a now being $500, this looks like more of a bargain.
One thing that wasn't mentioned is that Motorola finally brought back dual stereo speakers that haven't been on a G Power since 2020. I'd rather have dual speakers than NFC to be honest.
Yeah NFC is FANTASTIC if ya wanna get yer phone hacked ^_^
Don't use Google Pay.
This is my first new up to date phone and I'm happy with it too, for the most part. I wish Motorola would do better with updates though. I've been a loyal Motorola customer for a while but I might have to switch carriers because of this. I'm glad it doesn't have NFC because it makes it less likely to get stolen by ghetto hoodlums lol
I don't even think trailer trash would steal a Moto😂lol
Stop crying its a 120.00 phone that hits like a 1000 phone. And you cry about updates. Go buy a pixel 8 pro with watch I pent over 1k cash. Its not that much better than this 120.00 phone. Yea the zoom is nice but not that nice.
@@MackJic23 You are nutso. I have a new Pixel 8 pro and brother has a Iphone 15 pro. I just set up a moto G power 128 gig and was WOWED by it. a 120.00 phone that feels better in hand vs a 1000 phone screen looks great is fast enough. Even the camera is not bad. 9 times cheaper it should be phone of the decade. You been drinking too much coolaid these moto Gs are great. No 120.00 phone can touch them.
Picked up a good condition galaxy 20+ unlocked for 170$. Used market seems to be the way to go for best "bang for a buck" under $300. These are the phones that end up "freebies" when you sign up for new service
is there garilla glass sd card? i'm glad its only 6.5 inchHow long are updates security?
There's a secret I decided to keep.
It has some stuttering, but media playback is 99% perfect even after rooted
This is exactly the same phone as the moto g73, i do like it! Nice review, thanks!🙏👍
Really not sure what to get this or the samsung a54 5g. Really tough choice coming from an iPhone 12.
I can use my 20 watt fast charger in my moto g power 2020 and I've had it since July 2020 and still 100% battery capacity and everything still works fine so I would say it might be alright
Which is the more reliable stylus or moto g power?
Failed to mention that it has stereo speakers.
Good point bud 🙏
@@TechRighthey is there a way to make it to where this thing turns on with ONLY the button? I don't like my phone turning on with the screen touch, and can't find a way to turn that off.
Thanx
probably the one I will get. Coming from the moto g7. I'm due. Can't be updated anymore and i can tell the battery is going.
Moto stylus has it and up.
I have not had much luck with a meditek processor. They usually start laghing and slowing down quick. Can hardly buy a budget phone with s snapdragon processor. I have the LGG8x thin q. Running last update 12.0. Got last security update 3 months ago. Tried 2 phones with mediatek processor in them. Sold one returned the 10:28 other. Put my sim back in the LG. Installed Bitdefender Security app for full smartphone security web & vpn. Looking for a older flagship released later than the LG g8 x. Someone let me know of a midrange or budget phone that runs good with a mediatek pushing it.
Goid video as usual.
This Moto G Power 2023 supports an optional microSD card, which is great in 2023!
Wil fingerprint work with case?
I have had this phone for like 3 days now and my fingerprint barely work to try to get into my phone and the battery lasts maybe a good day and that's about it from what I seen so far
Pretty sure its got a slower app loading time because of the low powered CPU for a bonus in battery life. Seems to be the case in all the moto g powers for the last several years?
Can you do a comparison of this phone vs Samsung Galaxy a15 5g. Please .
Do you all think for $250 this phone is decent or is it better to spend the extra $50 or so and get the Moto g stylus 5G 2023 model?
is it dual sim?
Can you put in another video how well the camera works?
The camera is the worst I've ever had. It's weird because my 2020 4g stylus was pretty good.
You can get it at metro PCs for 64 just be careful which store you go to
What Samsung Galaxy model would this Moto G Power compare with? I’m liking this Moto and what I’m worried about is Motorolas lack of support in the future.
I actually sold my Pixel 7 Pro for this phone, but not in a flattering way. The 7 Pro was fantastic, but being made from glass and having a curved screen made it difficult to find a proper screen protector and durable case. (The sides are hardly protective, Poetic's cases for the device were pathetic) So that was a headache. Secondly was how expensive it is even with the discount I got (Paid $850 with trade in for the 512 gb model) on top of the monthly insurance.
After not being able to find a white whale combo of a great case and screen protector due to the curved screen and fragile design I gave up. Went with Motorola again as they are cheap and the G Power finally had a worthy successor to the 2020 model G Power. Powerful enough for my gaming needs and still has the basics like the headphone jack, SD card slot, and pretty good battery life. (Still no where near as amazing as the G7 Power or 2020 G Power)
I'm plenty happy with this phone, I do wish they'd put a wide angle camera in it though. But I only miss it as I mostly used it at my old job.
It's funny how Motorola and Pixel devices are exact opposites of each other. Pixel devices have amazing software support with amazing cameras, but their phones have been lacking the SD card slot since they were a thing and their build quality is.... questionable. (As is their customer service) Motorola on the other hand has garbage software support but the build quality has been good and still has the headphone jack/ SD card slot.
In short, this is the perfect device to 'take my ball and go home' with in the world of smartphones.
"the G Power finally had a worthy successor to the 2020 model G Power" Yup! The 2021 and 2022 models were downgrades with 720p screens and crummy processors. This is finally an upgrade on the 2020, and should have been the 2021 model. lol.
You pay for crap you get crap. Don't go making demands on a $120 phone or it will cost 1000. Actually the Moto G power 2023 is not crap im very impress for it and I paid over 1k for a Pixel pro 8 with watch that is heavy but has a great zoom camera. Its almost too big the moto G is much nicer in weight and size and does 95 percent of what my flagship does. For $120.00. Do i wish it has the pixels 8 pros camera? yes but then it would cost 1,000.
@@anthonyevich3836the 2021 version was a nightmare
ISSUE
Lenovo is a smaller Company compared to Samsung. Motorola as a whole has been a better smart phone experience (all that's left is longer support with an additional OS update).
Google Pixel and Apple's iPhone are the only competition with Samsung regarding updates (it's on par with Mobile Chipsets, that makes a huge difference in the price).
As Consumers we got to have more choices.
Fully agree all that's left in these entry level Motos is longer support, I would say minimum 2 years of OS and 3 with security patches
Thank you SO much for this excellent review! I’ve been wondering about this phone and you answered a lot of my questions :)
Just wondering aloud: Why aren’t very many tech reviewers jumping on this new Moto g power and reviewing it? 🤔 Normally Tech Daily and Kevin Breeze are on the mid-range phones right away.
You get a Moto Power so you don't have to think about charging your phone, that is the best pro...
I got this phone with a tablet for $180 on December 12 2023 my opinion it's a great deal
Probably gonna wait and see on the 2024 version, see if that starts at android 14.😊
How's the stabilization when making RUclips videos?
Moto G73 in the UK is the same phone with NFC.
I don't use nfc anyway
For $299 it's incredible
Auto Arrange Icons on Grid is a no brainer but Motorola dropped the ball on that simple rule 101 arrange your icons
Moto might not give the best software updates but at the price of their phones you could afford to replace them with new phones every couple of years.
Nfc supported?
Whats up with the crackling recorded video playback on this phone ?
I was on the Moto G train until the Pixel 'a' series came out. Moto's software, while still fairly faithful, is still not faithful enough for my taste.
So which phone do you use now 🤨 bc im using a Motorola phone 😭
The processor.. why tho lol they should use Sandragon.
might swich my samsung galaxy A03 is sucks hard to use motorola was my first cell 650 im going back to them seem's easy to use
How does it compare to the moto g stylus 5g 2022?
That's what I want to know as well. It seems like a similar phone slightly smaller display and no stylus...
There was no mention of the camera specs or performance in your review. Why?
This wasn't a review. This was my pros and cons video.
It looses battery as you use it while charging, and it takes HOURS to charge I left it during the night and it's barely at 88% the battery sucks !
Decent phone, but I have yet to find a way to simply put phone on vibrate from drop down menu while in public zones
Drop down only offers DO NOT DISTURB option, which removes ringtone AND vibration !
I barely got this phone and I do not believe that the battery last for 2 days the battery dies quick
the speaker quality sound and mic quality are not as good as the 2020 model
Thanks for looking at this model. I found your constant use of "sucks" detracts from the review.
Make your own review then 😂

@@TechRightI only use your videos for reviews ❤
I loved my last Motorola phone but it would get hot and the back warped. I'm using a Samsung galaxy A11 and it sucks. It freezes up all the time and I have to charge 3 times a day. I'm thinking about the moto g power 2023 it's only $100 though Straight Talk.
It was free through Xfinity mobile I just got one
I, have the Galaxy A-13 and it is the worst phone ever i made a big mistake it is junk you do not even want for free so I'm seriously considering the Motorola g 2023
I just paid over 1000 for a unlocked google pixle 8 pro with a watch that is not really needed. I just set up a motoG power 128GB phone that my brother paid 120.00 for. I was expecting CRAP. OMG the moto G is amazing a 120.00 phone that is 90 percent of a HIGH end phone. The camera is not bad it not pixel great but its close enough where I could not care. Its screen is great looks just as good as my high end Pixel 8 pro. and the size is way better and the battery while smaller does not eat up as fast as the pixel. The Moto power G has the be the phone of the century, for 120.00 I am blown away. I used for 10 hours today.
My backup is a pixel 3 but I could see using this moto as a backup phone. Its that good.
It runs the Microsoft Launcher, very nice
Its pretty fragile and not recommended for a busy mom. I have had 2 break after simple drops. Some of my previous phones could survive an apocalypses. I even bought a screen protector and otter box for the second one and the screen still cracked today :( The good news is google fi sell the phone for $30-50 soooo maybe ill buy 2 and keep a back up one in the closet LOL. Camera could be better but it works.
This has the same battery that the power 2022 & 2021 has, so why would you say this is only for 2 days and the others 3 days
So far so good, will see how the battery 🔋 performs in the long run 👍
Just picked this phone up for $199.99 on Amazon Black Friday sale.
My friend got the moto g power 2023 5g. He got the locked version. He's going through spectrum mobile with a 128 GB. I noticed when he go to the play store and try to download games they ask him for a credit card what a rip off 🤬 beware of the carrier you get this phone from
some of them are being sold with the 720 display and they dont tell you that when you buy it.
NO NFC?
You should do a gaming test on this device running COD, PUBG and GENSHIN IMPACT like the other gaming tests that you've done.
I got you! It will be up this week. Thanks for watching!
i just ordered this for $50 because i broke mine yesterday
💪💪💪💪💪💪
Maybe Motorola only gives 1 major update is because phones aren't kept that long for major updates. Like who keeps a low cost budget phone like this for more than 1-2 years? Does it have a built in FM radio? iPhones suck, and I miss the LG Stylo phones I used to have. So last July I bought my first Moto g phone, (4g Stylus) and I'm ready to try out this new 5g phone.
The camera is absolutely trash on mine. Everything else is ok, but this is a total crap sensor. I've had flip phones that took better photos. I'm dumping mine as soon as android gets the sos satellite text chips.
PROS
_1080 hd Screen with 120Hz refresh rate
_Decent Cameras
_Reliable Battery life
_Headphone jack
_Stereo Speakers
_6Gigs RAM 256Gigs ROM
Cons
_Fingerprints on back (put a case on it)
_LCD screen (never going to see OLED at that price)
_Chipset nickpick (any better than Exynos or Qualcomm?)
_No NFC
_long wait charging
I think this Motorola is better than the Samsung A34 5G (it's just Samsung will guarantee more updates over 4 years).
The biggest letdown in 2023? Not enough competition from Nokia, TCL, OnePlus (at least not yet) 🤔
You nailed everything!
Appreciate you boss
Cheapest OLED Phone was Xiaomi Mi A3 at 130 Euros I think.
@@U_H89
I believe you are correct and it's unfortunate that North America will never see Xiaomi or Honor or Huawei on store shelves (might as well add ZTE).
(To C.J. Brown) There's no way a phone would have 256 gigs of ROM. Read-only memory. That is, you cannot store data in it.
@@dubiouslycrisp 🙈 so how does Data come in ROM?!? Oh my GOD...
👍👍👍
Can we please bring bach the photon q¿ Motos never been better
CANT FIND MORE FOR THE PRICE!
BLOATWARE BLOATWARE BLOATWARE Gotta love MOTO😀 once you log in its 20X worse with Googles crap. and Android 13 has WAY too many bugs in it.
Not hard to figure out what to do... do some research
With only 1 update, I'm going to pass on this one !
Then other brands like Samsung have multiple updates but slow processors
Can't tap pay with this phone
It's better to steer clear of stuff like that anyway really ...
@@That-Ninjaexactly you shouldn't want bank information stored online anyway
Nothing wrong with my Pixel 6a battery. Easily lasts all day, even with moderate use.
I've had some people have other issues with it but I'm glad your having a good experience!
@@TechRight There shouldn't really be issues with a 4400mA battery and a 60hz only display.
Im going to save some users from the disappointment that comes with buying a motorola. Some of you wont listen, and you will likely find it out the hard way.
DONT BUY A MOTOROLA! They have the worst customer support and technical department that is unable to solve any issue. Read the forums on motorola. Users have serious dissatisfaction with a whole host of bugs and issues reported and remaining unresolved for years! Foget months!
I had the misfortune of buying a motorola edge 30 ultra. The camera being a flagship is the worst thing i could have imagined. We dont have android 13 yet. We dont even have an updated security patch. The phone is full of bugs and issues that render it worse than a budget range brick! Please do yourself a kindness and get a brand with better customer service satisfaction
I had last 3 Motorola phones, they are just great, the problem is with some morons who play with their phones all day until they fuck them up and don't know what they did and get angry with C.S .... Just angry customers like this one
The problem with some people is that they think they are the only ones who know how to use a phone. I guess all the people complaining about the phone on the Motorola forum and various other models as well must also be morons according to this all knowing phone user.
I have had positive experiences with Motorola support even on one of our older moto g play phone.. they corrected the bugs.. you probably expected a budget phone to be a flagship phone.. anyway support helps if you take the time to clearly explain any bugs and make sure you understand and follow the instructions they give
Stereo speakers??
stereo one on top and one on bottom easy to hear phone calls my Galaxy you have to turn it upside down and activate speaker to hear a call this sound like better option
