For GSMArena
Still VERY early, just set it up a few days ago. I am reviewing Moto G Power 5G 2024, Manufactured 2024 07 24. Less than 3 months old as I write.
Pros
-Very new to me (long time since last Moto).
-Supports UC5G
-8GB RAM (Processor memory).
-128GB ROM (Program and data storage).
-2400 x 1080 Display at 30/60/90/120 Hz refresh.
-50 MP camera with Optical Image Stabilization.
-Mediatek Dimensity 1000L CPU MT6855V/AZA and Imagination Technologies BXM-8-256 PowerVR.
Cons
-no charger device; only a charge cable, USB-C to USB-C.
-USB-C physical connection but only USB 2.0 transfer speed, despite USB 3.0 being released in 2008.
USB 3.0 is a 16 year old interface, Motorola..... in fact, USB 4 is under way.
-Android 14. Not at all a welcome iteration: unwanted Google and other (Motorola) interjections in my cellphone life.
It's time to stop featurizing the OS. Time to start leaning it out.
-Gaming mode intervention for anything called a game. Even Godville, which is mostly ASCII text.
-Unremovable, manufacturer forced apps. Stop this. Allow uninstalling, PLEASE.
-Fingerprint reader is tiny, but works well enough. Think about the small slice of fingertip which unlocks the device: 3 grains of rice long, 1.5 grains of rice wide. Chances are good the tiny pattern could be found on another persons finger. Don't rely on it.
-Vibration sensor activates the LCD screen. I set the phone on my bed, screen up, a foot away from my body. I move my arm, the screen lights up. Hypersensitive.
Observations:
Versus GSM Arena data, my phone:
-HAS NFC,
-HAS FM radio,
-HAS Wireless charging,
-HAS eSIM *and* Nano SIM (Dual SIM) capability.

Still VERY early, just set it up today. I am reviewing Moto G Power 5G 2024, XT24151-1 Manufactured 07/24/2024.
Pros
-New to me
-Optical Image Stabilization
Cons
-no charger device; only charge cable C to C
-USB-C physical connection but only USB 2.0 transfer speed, despite USB 3.0 being released in 2008. USB 3.0 is currently a 16 year old specification, Motorola..... in fact, USB 4 is under way.
-Android 14. Not a welcome iteration: Google and other (multiple) unwanted interjections in my cellphone life. Personally, I was happy at Android 6.
Observations:
Versus GSMArena data above, my phone:
-HAS NFC (used NFC to set this phone up),
-HAS FM radio (I already listened to it),
-HAS Wireless charging (according to the included manual),
-My hardware information, in Android settings, says:
-- 8GB RAM, 128 GB ROM,
--eSIM and Nano SIM (Dual SIM) capability (I see this in Android Settings).
Cheers!

The faulty earphones send a signal on 3rd pole telling phone to increase/decrease volume. Nothing you can do but replace the earphones.

You said that this model (xt2311dl) is slated for Android 14. Does this include the 128GB version of this phone?
Thank you
