I definitely won't want a Motorola phone
The hole punch screen is deal breaker for me

But I have no problems with Lenovo at all who owns the Motorola brand

I think the Lenovo legion 90 or Lenovo legion dual 2 phones are very hot

Love too have either of them and would prefer a Lenovo brand name phone

Of course pricing and ones own budget and income plays a big role

            "...it’s the 2GB of RAM that is the real issue."

            The E13 is an Android Go device and Android Go is meant to be a simplified version of Android for better memory optimization, so I don't mind that. But what surprise me is that the E13 chipset. I don't think I ever seen an Android Go smartphone with a more efficient litography than the current 28nm unit. This is a breath of fresh air.

              720p LCD screen in G53 is bad that too in 2023.
              Everyone else is doing 1080p OLED.

                I think motorola team ve some serious mind problem so first of all they really need to check-up by any physician bcoz when i think about 2019 then 2020 then 2021 nd the best year for 2022 its really very good year for motorola after a long time they succeed to jump their share with the help of good launched..bt in starting of 2023 models like g52 nd g23 nd g72 g13 nd e13 all r degradation of over their previous models like when u compare moto g52 to g53 its totally bust phone ever in terms of upgrade.. i ve own g52 bcoz at that time the best display in that price segment offer by motorola comapre to other brands its definitely beat the every phone with its segment bt how can i sift to g52 to g53 tell me motorola tean any one resion only 5g r not sufficient to upgrade most important upgrade in 2023 r poled bezzel less display with under display fingerprint nd powerful processor like mtk 1080 under 20k or sd 695 under 15k its good so why u choose 480+ nd hd+ its bust combination..i thinking team motorola plz wake up nd watch'the whole entire market nd to ur competative brands which r really doing great work in their phones year by year bt u always downgrade your phones year by year how can u serving best service to us u always fail to provide update nd all there is no service centre no regular updates nd now u try to cross cutting on phone too how will u mange ur reputation in future do u ve any idea .. i want this msg share with motorola team plz gsm arena u do it i knew

                  hmm, 29 Jan 2023You are missing the point. They can give good specs at chea... moreIf you like throwaway phones and buy new one every year, then it's a non issue. Give Moto/Lenovo your money.

                  In contrast, even the cheapest Samsung phone will get at least 2 years of upgrades. So low price doesn't always mean no updates.

                    Moto phones are a great value for people who don't define their self worth by how much money they blow on their smartphone. They do everything the overpriced Snapple and Samdung phones do except for wireless pay and wireless charging, of which nobody needs either. Moto phones contain little bloat ware. I don't work for Moto, but I do think Moto phones are a great value for people who don't define their self worth by how expensive their phone is.

                      In 2023 your smartphone is still charges slow like iPhone 😓
                      ✖️Slow charging
                      ✖️flat screen "personal preference"
                      ✖️poor software updates

                      BIG deal breaker

                        the g73 (the best) doesn't even have a soc fast enough for 4k video. that's how bad these all are. they're all too big for me aswell, i didn't bother checking for a 3.5mm after the video thing made laugh.

                                    Wrong. You'd miss 256GB of free storage on G73.

                                    Speaking of which, the option of lower memory configuration for lower price wouldn't be bad at all.
