Motorola Moto G Power 5G (2024) User Reviews

I have read a lot of mixed reviews of this phone, and I decided to give this device a try because I got a really good deal on it at my local WalMart store (79.88 + tax) This phone,although not the most powerful device,was quite an upgrade for me,as I switched from a Samsung Galaxy A03S(which is not a 5g capable device)This Moto g power 5g is way faster and runs smoother than my previous phone. the 8gb of RAM is quite an upgrade,as well as the 5g capability. Yes,this phone has an LCD display and the cameras are not the best, but for the price I paid for my device (under $100)it suits my needs well and I have noticed a substantial increase in performance speed compared to my galaxy A03S. I got this phone super cheap because I am a AT&T prepaid customer.It works well on the AT&T network, although AT&T's 5g network isn't as expensive as say, T-Mobile's or Verizon's. If you're looking for a capable 5g device that can handle the basics then this device is more than capable of handling everyday tasks like web browsing,checking/sending emails, taking pictures (ok pictures but you get what you pay for)watching you tube videos, and basic multitasking is do-able on this phone. the man made leather texture on the back of the phone gives it a good aesthetic. the 120hz refresh rate (which can be switched manually to 60hz to conserve battery) is a nice feature as well. the phone has worked well for me so far, a little bloatware comes installed but a lot of this can be removed when setting up the device. downside to this device is that Motorola is only going to support one software update to Android 15. comes with Android 14 installed. user interface is fluid and the phone has lots of features which help with personalization and this phone also supports Bluetooth 5.3 for longer range (not a lot longer range, though)wireless connectivity to speakers, headphones. 5,000 man battery lasts well over a day. screen gets bright but other devices can get a lot brighter. power save mode, along with other adjustments make this a reliable smartphone. screen stutters a little bit when scrolling, there are some noticeable performance glitches but like I said, of you are coming from basically the cheapest smartphone (galaxy A03S like I had)then this phone is definitely a big step up performance wise. 8gb RAM with a neat feature that lets you bump it up to 16gb RAM by using some of your phones memory. mediatek Dimensity 7020 processor isn't the fastest but fast enough for a sub $300 device. Supports 30W wired charging which is fast enough for me and I already had a multi port charger which is 49.5W and the USB-C charging port supports 30W so I was ready to go. haven't used the 15W wireless charging yet but might soon. Also, this phone supports NFc and google pay,which is another great feature. All in all I give this phone a 7 out of 10.

Solid choice for a budget device if Lcd doesnt bother you and one year software update. I personally dont mind it, seeing i got it for free with straight talk. Battery life and charging speed is good....wireless charging makes it awesome.
