Had this phone for over 3+ years. PROS: Battery still in great shape holds charge for days at a time. Excellent dual speakers/sound on this phone, with very good video & screen display, good WI-FI reception. Cons: Camera is decent, laggy & not as good as Samsungs or other brands in same price range. Processor is ok overall, but sometimes lags between different tasks, might be due to only 4gb ram, 6gb+ would be better. For only $50 was/is still an excellent budget phone, great option for kids or emergencies. This year 2020 of G-Power is the best one IMHO, the later years offerings were not as good for multiple reasons.

    awesome phone. bought mine a few months after they launched, used it every day. still works perfectly. battery still holds up like it was brand new, and I'm often using it to play music for 10 to 12 hours a day plus texting and web browsing

        I've had mine for about 3 years and I have realized that it's not the phone it's the cell service company that you are with when I first got mine I have Boost service and I guess it was maybe AT&T towers now they have sold service I guess didn't sell all contracts to the new servicer my phone would not receive calls I was not able to make calls out I was not able to text I was not able to get texts in and they said that they were working on the problem and it still has not been fixed at the beginning of this year 2024 all of a sudden the phone started working again but it's definitely not the phone it's the service towers and the providers

My wife and I bought identical Moto Z Plays years ago from Verizon and wifi calling and texting worked fine. I had to replace mine with an unlocked version of the 2020 Moto G Power from Amazon. WIFI calling won't work and texting is spotty [2FA confirmation codes often don't show up].

            Using my current contract with ATT, I am unable to make calls over WIFI. Is this a phone restriction or something connected with a contract with ATT?

Format on your phone first then re format in another device as mass storage. i don't know why but it solved my issue. now I bounce between 3 different brand cards to check my security cams and edit my dashcam without issue (i use a 8 in 1 reader tool so I never have to remove my phones microsd card)

                      Idk why others give it such good reviews. Maybe I was just unlucky.
                      At its brightest setting, the screen is DARK. I basically can't use it if it is sunny outside. My old phone, released in 2018 is at least 40% brighter.

                      After two years it's starting to chug a bit sometimes, and the battery doesn't last all day (but I am on my phone all the time). Probably... about 75-80% of the battery life when I first got it.

                        My only problem is the finger sensor button is coming apart.

                          Been using this phone for 3 years now and I've never had a problem. The battery is still really good. It stopped receiving updates last year, but it's still good with rooted Android 11. With a magisk module, I'm able to use the hotspot without subscribing through Verizon which is nice. Call quality is really good. No dropped calls or weird stuff happening. Actually, the more I deal with other people's phones, the more I love mine. My only complaint is the 3.5mm headphone jack is a little bit quieter than my old HTC phones. You can fix that by using a media player with an equalizer though, like poweramp, just bump the gain up one notch and it's fine.

                            I saw another post saying that their microSD card corrupted from an update. I have to say the same happened to me. It's good, but that's a major red flag. It might be just a Motorola thing, but it's worth mentioning.

                              I like most everything about the phone except for two major issues, making it overpriced. The RF front end is poor. Works much better on GSMA bands in low signal areas, but forget about GSMT (most calls never connect or are dropped). This is a line-of-sight/in-city phone. Receiver is definitely overloaded by local WiFi (tested this with a spectrum analyzer, signal generator, etc.). Next, battery over-charges. Once it signals full charge, take it off! Definitely a major issue with low quality Lenovo OEM packs. With rare use, never deep discharge, no excess heat, etc., catastrophic battery bloat is incredible, starting right after 12 month warranty; guaranteed. Check Motorola forums, they are in denial with charging/battery defects. When purchased, measure phone thickness with plastic caliper at middle, check it again after 11 months or spin test on flat surface every month, if it's 1mm greater...warranty ticket immediately.

                                Like Moto G Power 2020 mostly. Randomly re-boots which is really annoying. An update from Motorola one time corrupted my microSD card and I lost everything on it. Has not happened again, but was really annoying. Will replace this phone in future. Too bad, otherwise really like it.

                                  Upsetttt, 23 Feb 2023Really hate this phone, I've had it for about two year... moreSimilar issues.. did a factory reset and the phone is faster and more reliable now. Also turning off the animation helps zip multitasking along

                                    I do like this phone, but now it has some drawbacks:

                                    1. No more security updates.
                                    2. No more Android beyond 11.
                                    3. Battery still pretty good, but certainly not 2 days.
                                    4. Speaker is OK, but not great.
                                    5. Camera occasionally malfunctions and requires a full restart.

                                      got this for like $200 back in september 2020 and it's still working fine (march 2023). it's not blazingly fast but you can't really tell the difference between it and other phones for common use. idk how it does for gaming but for regular phone use it's a great phone, especially for the pricepoint. the battery life is amazing, too, lasting about 2 days at first - now that im almost 3 years with it i'm looking into battery replacements, but it can still usually get through the whole day.
