Moto g55 Connoisseur, 09 Dec 2024I haven't had any performance issues so far, but hones... moreThanks for the detailed answer. I am very glad to see a tech-savvy person here. In fact, I have been buying a g75 for 2 weeks now and generally happy with it. The screen turned out to be too bright for me, even with the dimming function (it just makes the screen darker here). The phone works 100% for $250. The price difference with the g55 in my region is not big, but the 5-year support, interesting processor and a couple more features made me choose the 75th model. At first, I was really considering the 55th model, because the 75th was not officially available in the country yet and no one had given any specific dates. It so happened that when the 55th was supposed to be delivered, the 75th went on sale that same day for $35 more. The phone does not feel completely solid in your hand, but it is more likely just a matter of habit after the iPhone XR (yeah i know the price difference on the beginning haha). Overall, the G75 is a decent option if you’re seeking durability, mid-range performance, and a good camera for daytime shots. The camera obviously cannot do its job in low light. I haven't dealt with Motorolas for a long time, my last phone was a Z2 Force, but because of the flickering I had to look for a phone with IPS. It's a pity that manufacturers don't make flagships with a screen that doesn't burn your eyes anymore, in any case, even if you are very sensitive to screen flickering, it has a negative effect on your eyes and brain in general, causing headaches and nausea, dry eyes and irritation. Manufacturers are only concerned about how to reduce the cost price of goods and get more net profit. Who knows, maybe Moto will remain one of the few who will make phones with a eye-friendly screens, decent OS and average characteristics.

    I'm convinced this phone could handle system blur/translucent backgrounds and AI processing stuff like the edge series just fine, or is this is too far fetched to think about? The moto g54 has full fledged Moto AI in beta, but somehow this phone doesn't?

      smallpp, 03 Dec 2024what can you say about strange GPU installed in this phone?... moreI haven't had any performance issues so far, but honestly I'm not a hardcore gamer to tell this kinda stuff on detail. The games I've tried like Asphalt 8 in performance mode runs great, and emulators like M64zplus (playing oot on rice accurate with texture packs) and DraStic are smooth with absolutely no lag or noticeable heating issues to my surprise, but I never play more than 20 minutes because I get bored easily with these kind of games. The only reason I installed a bunch of emulators and apps is because I'm not used to have this much storage.
      The game I play the most however is Animal Crossing Pocket Camp Complete lol, on the weekend I had over 10 hours of continuous playing time and I'm surprised the battery didn't die. Sadly I can't access app folders anymore (I believe this is an Android 14 limitation) so not sure how I'm gonna backup all my acpc progress If I lost my phone

      This phone handles multitasking very nice even with games in the background (just keep in mind the games I play). The gameplay never restarts over again when I switch back and forth over multiple apps or even have musicolet, secret folder apps opened, and large file uploads in the background. I don't know if this is normal on every 8Gig ram phone nowdays and I'm just embarrassing myself but like I said before I come from a very low end phone so multitasking with lots of apps doing stuff in the background and even floating apps (like Firefox) and PiP over games without performance issues/lag/frozen screen or reboots is like luxury to me. Honestly I'm hapy I picked this phone over the g75. Forgot to mention in my other comment, the system camera app doesn't have any lag or performance issues either (I just wish the autoexposure was better, sigh)

      People said turning on virtual RAM would made the performance worse but I have it on default and I haven't had any issues so far, even with games the device RAM it's always at 50-70max so the virtual ram is not even on use. Not to even mention the phone does most of this in 120Hz. Hopefully is not gonna be ruined with future updates though I can easily see myself with the moto g55 for a long time

      I also installed dolphin emulator but I haven't found any roms yet, if I do I will update my feedback to share how it handles more demanding games. If I had to guess, I think it's not gonna be good at all, and this is where the Moto g75 with snapdragon will shine (it has to, right?)
      I tried other emulators from the playstore but since citra was shut down I dont trust these other apks that are floating around
      Motorola has also this smart connect feature for streaming your apps to your monitors and I wanna try to play M64zplus on my tv roku next

      I'm a yapper sorry 😞

                  1 Remove SIM Cards from phone restart your phone and connecting to the WI FI and Check For Update.
                  If not working you need a laptop to Download RSA Tools from Motorola Website and practically Flashing your Divace with last Firmware. Good luck!
                  If you use RSA tools remove SiM card and Remove Google Account from your phone before flashing the divace

                      G75 it big and about 200g but have 5 year's Software Update and
                      Qualcomm snapdragon processor
                      G55 it's little compact 6.49" 180g and have Madiatek Dimensity 7025 a rebreding for Dimensity 930 and have just 4 years Security Update and I think 2 Major Os Update
                      If you want a compact phone G55 if you want a little more big phone and more good processor buy G75.

                        this or g75? g55 i can buy immediately, for g75 i should wait and pay more. is this difference will be noticeable?

                          Moto g55 Connoisseur, 22 Nov 2024A last comment to say, right when I posted that comment I r... moreI don't know if you have a laptop use RSA tools and check what is lhe last Firmware for your phone. Edge 40 received 1 October Security patch in date 14 November Size 750 MB received and Live look screen in this update, and in date 25 September received 1 September Security Patch and now waiting 1 November or probability received directly 1 December of the end of the year.
                          I don't know.
                          And Samsung A35 it's blocked with Security Patch to 1 September.and now it's the end to November!
                          Very important it's security patch 1 October because fix critical vulnerability from Android Os. Have a good day!

                            A last comment to say, right when I posted that comment I received the September security update. I thought the timing was funny so I wanted it to mention before anyone else. I couldn't install it though because it says it the download was interrumpted, maybe they rolled the update back? (Also I forgot to mention I bought the phone on the website so there's no carrier holding the updates back). Still, it's the September security update and we're a week away from December. It should be the November update already. Bi-monthly updates arrive more like quarterly updates just like Samsung with their low end phones. So have that in mind. Despite their promises to improve and do better with their update policy this company hasn't changed. Hopefully will receive Android 15 before 2026 lol

                              My only issues with Motorola moto G55 so far:

                              - I's stuck on the July 2024 security patch despite being released on September 2024. Were a week away from December...almost 2025. Absolutely do not expect fast updates for this phone.
                              - the vibration motor is strong and you can't customize it, it's either on or off
                              - it randomly rebooted itself three times last night for no reason (nothing to worry about though, it hasn't happened again and the performance is actually amazing)
                              - Speakers are good, but can't say the same using wireless headphones. I believe if you change something in the Dobly Atmos sound effects app it might fix something
                              - The screen is not the brightest and might struggle under direct sun
                              - about the screen, fonts looks sharper compared to other phones, screen it's slightly on the cooler side, it's LCD so it's easy on the eyes, but the colors feels washed out (I'm used to OLED, maybe that's why?). I already have the "vivid" screen option selected but my theme in blue color looks white-ish. all specs apps claim this phone has a HDR10/HDR10+ screen, it does not.
                              - I have yet to seriously test the cameras but so far, it looks like you might struggle to take decent photos on the first shoot: The photos don't come sharp/detailed enough, and the colors feel washed out. feel like I'm always lowering the exposure level to have some actual details in the pics outdoors. I tried a gcam mod (V9.2) and the colors and details were fantastic, so maybe it's a processing issue that hopefully can be tweaked with an update.
                              - The night camera mode is very sensitive and a "nigh mode" small pop-up suggestion triggers every time which is annoying. Night shoots are fine, but if you zoom it's all grainy.
                              - Selfies made me look with slighly smooth skin despite having that option turned off, but the photos are good enough for social media. Im seeing myself talking selfies every day since I got this phone. Skin tone is accurate. Portrait is nice.
                              - At the highest zoom, distant objects look atrocious and full of artifcts. Any zoom on video mode looks so terrible it physically hurts.
                              - On the other side, Macro is actually great! Super nice focus. You have either natural mode with mudded colors or automatic which takes time to process each photo, photos still come washed out compared to gcam though. If you have patience you can make really good photos with the macro camera mode. Somehow this phone has both the worst zoom and best macro I've tried yet
                              - I like that you can have full control of the focus on the pro mode and can shoot in raw, but no zoom more than 2x
                              - It comes with a document scanner mode and I thought it was cool, but using anything beyond save or crop foces you to make an adobe account
                              - No bloatware except for the meta app installer, adobe scanner app, Fitbit app, that you can disable. I also disabled Google partner setup and the app named "Apps" because of the suggestions spam. Some people over reddit say the dynamic wallpaper app shows ads on the lock screen, might want to disable that app too.

                              All this said, my list of positive stuff for this phone is way longer (mainly about the performance and gimmicks) but I don't wanna be only me spamming in the comments, I already feel embarrassed for making such a long comment. I highly recommend this phone if you accept its shortcomings and limitations (mostly about the average cameras and slow software updates), it's a solid choice if you want your phone to last for three years. No lag/heating/ram/performance issues with more than 8 apps open simultaneously or playing games like Asphalt 8 (not a gamer sorry) with the highest graphics applied. Battery last almost a full day on intensive use. Coming from a low end phone this one truly feels like a beast. Now, if you're looking for the ultimate future proof option Moto g75 will be the answer, it will have the same limitations about the camera and slow updates (so do not expect much from Motorola), but at least will last five years

                                      Usually it's the OLED screens causing the eye strain.
                                      IPS LCD display technology is usually known for being very eye friendly. Plus it has a whopping 180° viewing angle.
