I REALLY LOVE THIS MOTO G POWER 5G PHONE!!! I purchased my original Moto 5G in 2019 and for a very long time I was very hesitant in replacing it with a newer version. Even though I did consider briefly buying a Moto 7G Phone in 2022 but I just wasn’t impressed with the unusual changes Motorola made just to make it look and work “different”. However, when I first saw this 2023 Version I was very happy to see that a lot things were back to the way I remembered them before changes they made to the Interface were actually ones that I liked. Such as Swiping down on the Homescreen “twice” instead of “once” to Auto-Rotate the Screen, which I used to accidentally do all the time. I know that something like this is very minor but it’s just one of the many ways Moto rethought the Interface to be more user-friendly.IMPORTANT POINTS: This Phone has a Three-Day Battery Life, which is truly excellent! The feel, the weight and the look of it is really nice and it fits in my hand and pocket perfectly. The Display Screen and Refresh Rate is top notch and the Performance is Fantastic! Another BIG PLUS for me is that it has a 256GB of Storage as compared to 128GB. Also this Phone still has a Headphone Jack (Yay!) and it comes with a Phone Charger in the Box, which the 2024 Version does NOT have.THE ONLY NEGATIVE: For some reason Motorola thought that I wanted to have Tik-Tok and another App already Installed and it was difficult to remove it. By the way, I heard that the Moto g Power 5G 2024 has A LOT more of these Applications ALREADY installed, which is absolutely something I do NOT want at all.NOTE: I intentionally did NOT purchase the 2024 Version of the Moto g Power 5G partially because of the “reimagined” Interface, nor all of the massive amount of ALREADY installed “Bloatware” I’ve been reading about. Also, since I am very concerned about Security, I did NOT want the New NFC (Near Field Communications) which would include my Credit Card, Tap to Pay and other Financial information on my Cellphone. Although, I would have liked to have the New Wireless Charging Feature but it was something I able to live without.

Everything works fine. Very solid phone. Supports 5g. What’s to complain?? Well, for me it’s the charge speed. In this day & age not having fast charging is a sin. I will be keeping the 2023 version as a backup phone or might just return it. Just ordered the 2024 version which supposedly supports fast charging & wireless charging. Been charging this phone since I got it & it’s been about 3 hours or so. I went from 40% to 61%. Literally as I’m typing this. Just had to let people know since no one talked about it at all. If this isn’t an issue for you, then this phone is your perfect phone. Otherwise I use my phone a lot so needing a full 5-6 hours to fully charge your phone daily is not ideal for me. Most reviews say Battery life seems to be quite good. Just the charge process seems bad. For me at least. I like to go out occasionally & knowing my phone will not easily charge fast should it hit zero doesn’t put me at ease. For example like camping & using GPS or even using it to play music. In my experience phones will eventually die after a full day regardless of battery life. Meaning it will take at least 3-4 hours to hit 0% to 20%. Sorry, for the long scenario review. I just wished this product said it wasn’t compatible with fast charging. Although to be fair it never said it did.Hope this helps anyone to make a solid decision on buying the “2023” version of the Moto G Power. This is a solid phone, just a bit of a relic in charge technology.-Originally 3 Star Review**Update**9/16/20242023 version works solid. Only been 2 days but I’ve gotten the gist of it. It’s definitely going to be my backup phone. No changes since my initial review. Battery life is standard. I don’t play gaming apps much anymore so I can’t say how gaming potential really is. Maybe someone else will do a stress test in regards to that. Still I’m a bit bummed about the no NFC & charging seems to have gotten better. A bit inconsistent with charge speed, but maybe it’s just me or it doesn’t like my lightning cables. otherwise very solid phone. Overall review 8.5/10. Perfect if you aren’t too nit picky about tech & current accessibility.2024 Version. Yeah, as I thought. Just using it I can feel it’s more up to speed with modern times. Has NFC. Wireless Charge Capabilities. Camera is pretty good. Solid overall. With all the bells & whistles on battery life is good. I mean could optimize it to performance mode but what’s the fun in that?? Otherwise this is a straight upgrade from the 2023 version. I wouldn’t call it perfect, but I can say I can recommend it without hesitation. Definitely better than the LG G8 Thinq I had & I absolutely loved the LG G series. Oh & having the fingerprint scanner to the side where the power button is located is a nice feature. Although screen shots are a bit awkward if you try to use traditional inputs. This phone offers a shortcut. When placing 3 fingers (imagine a dog/cat paw formation) on the screen it will take a screenshot. Although the emergency override with +Volume & Power button are both on one side so that’s definitely annoying. Probably my only real con. 9.5/10, I would say it’s a 10 but there are better phones out there. However for the Best bang for your buck. This is definitely a steal.-5 stars for both versions now that I understand what I’m working with. Unfortunate that I was unsatisfied with the 2023 version, but like I said. Would make a great backup phone.

This is my 2nd Moto G Power. I like ti for the long battery life and good power management. Phones I’ve had in the past, I would charge drive to work,(90 min in california). Then plug it back in in the office. I would spend the day taking the phone with me and plug it back in when I returned to my desk. Then I would drive home and plug it back in there. I don’t mention a phone because this was every phone I ever owned. I had a number vrom various manufacturers and models. Until I went with the moto g power. This phone actually lasts for more than a day and that’s with me phoning and texting and surfing and streaming. You REALLY have to be doing A LOT of high use activities before you NEED to recharge in less than a day. That’s a big thing for me because it keeps me untethered from the charging socket. This phone does all the usual smart phone stuff about like any other phone. It has a decent camera and decent sound quality. My only gripe is that when I switch headphones it cranks the volume up to the max. I have a couple of identical ear bud headphones. I had these same headphones on my old moto g power. On that one when the headphones ran out of juice I would to the identical charged other pair and just go on. Well, as I said, with the new phone when I switch it cranks up the volume to the max. I suspect that this may be an android as the old phone was 11 or 12 and the new phone is android 14. It’s not a big deal but it’s my one gripe. Unless you swap headphones like I do you probably won’t even notice. I like this phone. I wish I could have found a black one but I had to settle for white. I was more interested in the best price rather than the color. Great phone, I like it enough that this is my second one. The review is asking about the fingerprint reader and face recognition. The phone has these features but I don’t use them. I prefer to relay on a pin code for access. I have never had very good luck with finger and face on any phone so I don’t use them.

I have to use my phone for work. I previously had a Motorola phone (bought 2019) that had 32 GB of storage. My employer has a suite of programs that were loaded onto the phone, and I was running short of space. So, I got another brand Android phone through work. However, it lacked key Motorola features to which I have become accustomed: no switching on or off the flashlight by making chopping motions with the phone, nor wobbling the phone to activate the camera.My employer is a manufacturer, and we have to wear gloves in the plant. With the Motorola phones, I can get light without taking off my gloves. Ditto with activating and zooming the camera. So, I ditched the other brand camera and bought this one myself. I also had problems with the fingerprint reader on that phone (which used the touch screen).I am happy with the purchase. I was a bit worried about the fingerprint reader, which I read had been switched from the back of the phone. However, having the fingerprint reader on the on–off button works well.Another reviewer complained about the battery life, saying that it needed charging every day. I don’t know what that reviewer used the phone for, but I typically get four days out of it before it has to be recharged. The battery consumption does go up a bit if I am somewhere where it cannot connect to Wi-Fi and it keeps hunting for a connection, so maybe three days battery life then.

It works perfectly. Great clarity from the cameras, battery lasts for over 2 days and the screen is sharp and clear. It’s not that expensive for the quality.

I have used Motorola smart phones for many years. I have a 4G Moto G Power that is still working great. I ordered this 5G as a backup. It’s still in the box unopened. I trust Motorola that much. It’s durable but I like my cool cases. I’ve only had a slowdown of reception in spots with very distant towers. It’s compatible with all headphones, earbuds and Bluetooth devices. The brightness of the screen is controllable and the LED flashlight is awesome. I can even turn it off and on by shaking it. That comes in handy during Florida tropical storms season. Glad I’ve got this backup. It’s still hurricane season here.

For the price you can’t go wrong with Motorola. Very nice phone, has lots of bells and whistles. Wife needed a new phone, and this is perfect for her. Has lots of ram and storage with a big screen. We have always liked Samsung and Motorola. Since my wife dropped her Samsung Galaxy s20 plus, knowing she would need a new phone sooner or later this is what I got her, and it’s perfect. Has a great SOC that works well with this phone. Wife doesn’t need a thousand dollar phone.

All functions were perfect and quite a cheaper alternative for a smartphone, specifically research this for aftermarket service in case the screen goes bad, or had to replace the battery later. Unlike my Moto g basic which turns out to be a throwaway phone, as, apparently, you could not replace the battery on it through a retail service. Although you could order the battery 🙂 I’m turning the phone over to the retail service, they then informed me that the phone could not be accessed easily enough to replace the battery. So, I replaced it with this one after checking to see that was not the case on this model. Please do your own research.

This is a nice phone, easy to learn as it is different from the Moto G Play I had before. Good phone for calls, texts, Facebooking, etc. All around great phone.
