Motorola G73 5G or Samsung A14 5G (6GB/128GB). Motorola will only issue one major Android update while Samsung will issue two. Motorola has more RAM and storage capacity but on the software side, Motorola is allegedly the worse choice. Which one?

Recent purchase from Lenovo.
Phone OK. Battery life not as good as my previous Moto G7 but the G73 5G charges quickly.
Android 13 does have some bugs that I've reported to Lenovo, but overall reasonably pleased. Kept my G7 just in case!

Gt89, 16 Jun 2023Thank you. I did buy it. It does heat up when charging ... moresame with me. i've never had a phone that doesn't heat up under some continuous load, like whatsapp video calls. G73 is on the cooler side for sure, it is above 30°C where i am now, and i have yet to feel it warm enough to consider it a worry

Thank you.
I did buy it. It does heat up when charging but that is fine.
I did heat up earlier when watching a video on 5G but it's nearly 30 degrees in the UK and the video was for over 15 mins so I am not worried.

Hello.
I am looking to buy this phone. Its currently on sale in the UK for £249. I did hear the phone had some overheating issues.
Could someone who owns this phone please confirm if this is the case or if the phone is fine with general use?

Anonymous, 13 Jun 2023How has this G73 been for you guys that have owned this pho... moreIts very good. I have disabled 5g. got around 12 hours screen time. camera is finicky, needs update on focus issues. screen is not gorilla, but very smooth, unlike gorilla glass 3 on which Ihad to stop my game and wipe my thumb, because it got sticky. I am testing battery usage on refresh rate set to Auto vs 60hz. But 120hz feels so smooth, I may keep it on Auto. Battery gets warm on turbo charge, but there is a setting for battery optimization 80% etc..

Anonymous, 13 Jun 2023How has this G73 been for you guys that have owned this pho... moreit's been really good to me so far.
-120Hz works everywhere,
-battery life is good,
-no lags/very smooth,
-motorola gestures are quite handy,
-speakers are loud and even have some bass, so the sound is not thin and ear-piercing like on some other budget devices.
-no 2Mp trash, 8Mp ultrawide with auto-focus.
-main camera with big 1 µm pixels.
-can record video at 1080/60fps/EIS, unlike SD695 devices.
-design is great, i really like the no nosense design, it's hard to come by nowadays, every one seems to make big camera bump and disco colors.
drawbacks are
1. stock camera software doesn't make color accurate pictures during daytime
i dunno what happened, because note book check net did a test and results were very color accurate (G73 - 6.74 ∆E min: 3.54/max: 8.77 ∆E, 14 Pro Max - 9.4 ∆E min: 2.94/max: 16.43 ∆E). what i experience though is oversharpened photos with unnatural, punchy greens. gcam can fix that. low light photos are good with stock camera and much better than gcam.
2. microphone is mediocre, so don't expect great recordings.

M1CGP, 08 Jun 2023Well bought one, been a long time Motorola user even back t... more5hrs of heavy use is super good if you are at 66% left on a budget phone.
The times of 2 days is STANDBY. No phone in the world is nearly able to pull off what you are talking about.
Your entire assisment is based on aspects you yourself aren't aware of, thus can't really judge it well.
The disappointment you speak of isn't valid in this situation.

Well bought one, been a long time Motorola user even back to t630.
Well misses bought one for me, gave it to me on my birthday and when went to register and pay for motocare got told phone was purchased a while ago and was not available for motocare.
Well first of the bad ticks.
Phone itself, well average use
Don't play games dont download and watch mooooovies
Don't spend hours on Facebook, tick tock (only if someone sends me something) and 5 hours down to 66%, not what was offered of two days.
Signal
5G forget it so damm slow that my iPhone for work on 4g loads sites quicker.
And I got a 5g phone......
Blue tooth keeps switching off on off on off on well you get it.
Did I touch anything? No..
WiFi still trying to work out what this is on a Motorola. Again put g73 on table next to my work iPhone se2020 press connect to WiFi
iPhone select network select, enter info, connected, g73 wait, just a little more ok select network, enter info, wait wait wait, connected
Well it's shocking, cannot get 5g to work, cannot get WiFi to work, Bluetooth useless.
Ok camera, 50mp (only if you select Ulta pixel) and take picture downloads to Google photos, where is the gallery? Need to use Google photos and your data to even view a photo, not good enough delete- use your data allowance rename - use your data allowance. Get my drift, view a photo, sorry still waiting to connect to 5g......
How do I tell my misses she bought wrong phone.
This will be my last Motorola
So disappointed
