Motorola is notorious for their slow and bad software support even for the premium models. Beware before you buy.

thetechfromheaven, 21 Feb 2024Android 13 wtf this must be a joke. I'm running Androi... moreYes, an almost 4 year old phone that at launch cost 3-4x as much as this one has more features and updates than a phone aimed at a different audience. If you got yours for 25 bucks, that's cool, but comparing actual prices puts this one at a different level and audience than the one your have.
I could ask you the same thing, what might you be smoking. Officially your G9 supports Android 11 at most, so anything above that requires unofficial custom ROMs...

- No OIS, for a single camera phone
- No 5G as well
- Plastic back panel
- No Battery Pull Tabs, ifixit fans beware...

Android 13 wtf this must be a joke. I'm running Android 14 on my Moto G9 Play that cost me 25 dollars, Motorola must be smoking some good stuff if they think I will buy a new phone for 10x what I paid for mine with crappier software.

It must cost more manpower and money to make a phone this bad in the long run 😂 like why even bother?

Hardware, screen, memory ram and storage rom upgrades over the previous G Plays.
Now to wait and see if the price for the unlocked version drifts down to $100USD as the previous years have ...

The phone's back looks like it underwent some surgery and the awkward camera bump was forcefully placed. Its like some crazy scientist trying out crazy experiment on some poor man.

That camera bump on the back gives you a cringe feel..
Just like when someone scratches a black board with their finger nails.

Legend Z, 21 Jan 202464gb is so much space it will be enough for me for next 10 years.It may be enough for you but most phones are 128gb+ now and unlike you many other users actually store lots of data that requires a lot of storage. Best to stick with the standard instead of delivering lower quality offerings which is what motorola unfortunately does with their all of their budget devices to keep prices low

AnonD-1140103, 17 Jan 2024I am probably going to get this. I was hoping to buy the G8... moreips Moto are nice if bits at least 400. I'm not into the hdr 'stunning' effect, it's ridiculous to me and my not great eyes. I have enough screen all day at work already.
ips can be unusable in direct sunlight though.
I like ips because very relaxing for eyes ( no PWM) and low power consumption. I prefer comfort. I expect this option still exist. Thanks moto for taking care of that.

Anonymous, 22 Jan 2024What u mean only 4 gb ram? u joking right?
I want at least... more4gb should be ok with Android 13 memory mnagement.
Just expect some lags when switching apps or tabs, time for os and older UFs to unswapp process and datas.
If it's really a 150 phone, I would buy it as a nice second phone.
Moto runs smoothly already on SD 480 so on that 680 and ips and 5k battery I expect a lot.
Then about camera, motonhas 'ever been great, preferring the smaller and cheaper omnivision. If those sensors are ok, they are well known to halo effects when little sin anywhere, in my experience at least.
I like Moro design and their 'helmo moto' ( ridiculous bit I like)
Have to ADB disable their is a lot as there a lots of 'call home' apps/'features', way to Shaddy to my taste. Mostly developed in China after all, despite the us branding.
Wait and see...
