Something strange is happening with charging the phone. Suddenly it started locking up to 30% and requires a restart for it to go forward. Nothing specific happened, no system updates, and I'm going to keep my eye on it for now since I can't troubleshoot to anything.=========================================================================================I took a chance and ordered this phone from Amazon Resale and received a very generous discount off the discounted price. Hopefully I didn't just buy someone else's problem. For starters, the box I received it in was shabby and dirty and the charging cable was unraveled in the box, however the phone was wrapped in plastic and appears intact with a fully charged battery. I am a big fan of Motorola and this is my fourth phone from them. While my most recent Edge 2021 5g is still in perfect working condition, I just couldn't pass up this Motorola G Power 2025 at this ridiculously low holiday sales price especially given the impressive technical specs that it comes with. I did read many of the reviews both good and especially the bad ones to see if there is a pattern of something inherently wrong with this model. I couldn't tell since some of the reviews are very sparse on actual details. So here goes my review for the "Moto G Power - 2025, UNLOCKED, Made for US 8-128gb, 50MP Camera":Cons:I'm doing this first since it's important that you understand what you're getting into with this phone.-The phone is slightly smaller (length), slightly thicker and slightly heavier than my Edge 2021 5g - not a big deal but worth noting-The phone comes with standard factory load like all phones but for a 2025 model this appears to beinadequate as I will explain in the next bullet point-The phone is a quick boot and once up and running it will immediately pair with your previous phone (if you allow it) and begin transferring data and configurations along with any Google backups you may have. This is where things get choppy - there isn't an obvious way to select what to transfer and in not providing a screen pause with choices it embarks on downloading your entire library of photos, videos and music which for many of us may be a long and exhausting process that may quickly fill up the phone 128gb. In doing so it also begins to initiate Updates to the phone OS thereby doing double duty and an extremely lengthy process where it also shuts down your screen (power saver) and causing you to periodically have to sign back in, which in turn pauses the Updates and you have to restart them. This is both frustrating and ill conceived by the manufacturer. I actually decided to stop it, reset to factory setting and restart without any account and data restoration just so I can process the phone OS Updates.-The phone OS Updates take "several hours" (that's right "several") and if you don't monitor them they will stop (all are required and all are sequential) making this a multi-hour project. If you don't monitor and apply each one, then the Updates stop and will Update and Restart at what it thinks are your off-hours. This explains why so many reviews keep complaining about the phone being slow, not having proper connectivity, randomly rebooting, etc. etc. All those things are accurate and true if the phone is left to its own "smart" schedule for OS Updates and would frustrate you for days or possibly weeks, by my estimate, even if you are a techie but make some reasonable assumptions around the data transfer and phone OS Updates which in fact are not how it works at all on this phone.Pros:-The phone was actually less expensive then the Edge 2021 5g which I also bought on an Amazon sales event, even though the new Mediatek chip and RAM are much, much, much better than my Edge 2021 - storage is the same - 128gb.-The phone is solid and well built end to end - "stunningly impressive" are also its IP67/IP68/MIL-STD 810H ratings which no other phone that I am aware of can make claim to at this price point. A heavy duty phone without a heavy price.-It boots quickly, the screen is absolutely gorgeous and extremely crisp and clear in all light conditions.-The phone overall is very, very, very fast with the Meadiatek chip and RAM. In fact this is the fastest phone I've ever had.-Plenty of storage at 128gb for average user and I added a 1TB SDHC which went in quickly and works better than any other SDHC on any other phone I've ever had.- Battery is tremendously well tuned with the phone and with a 36% screen setting, which is perfect for me visually, I can use this phone heavily for nearly 52 hrs - above and beyond what the manufacturer rates it-The speakers on the phone are also exceptionally good and pleasant to use without sounding echoey and whinny - won't replace your high end audio devices but pretty good as is and plenty loud.-The rear camera absolutely shines at 50mp and takes very impressive pictures in all light conditions and all settings macro/.5/1x/2x - the front camera is also OK for most uses and selfies. Some people commented on getting terrible pictures and I'm not sure how or why, but it may be caused by lack of understanding on how to Tune your camera under Settings to meet your use expectations, or how to switch camera modes on the bottom front screen when using the camera. Either way I think this is miles above my Edge 2021 5g.-WiFi/5g is blazing fast and I can watch any of my video or play any game without the phone chocking, stopping or buffering.-Voice connectivity is excellent and I haven't experienced any problems at all as described by some of the other reviews. I tested the phone recently across 3 US states in the NorthEast on a 450 mile round trip and had zero problems at all while playing music, using Google Maps, responding to text via voice connectivity and initiating or receiving phone calls.-Charges very, very fast with a 30W brick and corresponding USB-C wire AND even more impressive it has WIRELESS charging ability with a 15W pad which is also very fast and convenient especially at office or overnight by bedside - a rare feature at this price point-Last but not least - once you get through all the phone OS Updates you wind up with the latest and greatest Motorola Android 16 version which is spectacular. Can't ask for anything more if you can endure the pain of the OS setup which is no small feat for most users.Additional note:-Some negative reviews note that the phone doesn't work with their specific providers, or has problems when you swap your SIM. My suggestion is that you should immediately check your new IMEI with your provider for compatibility before you start to do any work on the new phone, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, request a new SIM or eSIM for your new phone. Rarely does swapping an old SIM that was provisioned for your old phone IMEI work well, or at all, in a new phone. This is a security and safety feature for most wireless providers.I highly recommend this phone. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great phone in this price range *by on Reviewed in the United States September 26, 2025* This verges on top-of-the-line when it comes to *affordable* phones. It has better specs in every important way than the Moto G 2025, and is about equivalent in important ways to phones that cost twice as much. It's about the same form factor and style as its ancestor, the Moto 5G Ace from a couple of years ago (my prior phone). Getting it here instead of from your provider's store means you have less annoying bloatware installed, and it may even be cheaper too.I'm satisfied with the G Power's speed, storage and memory, ease of use, camera quality (vastly better than the Ace!), all of it. The adjustability for people without great vision is a plus (for me anyway). I really don't have anything to complain about with this phone. I tried the Moto G 2025 (the "little sibling" of this Moto G Power), and it just didn't have the capacity I wanted (I'm a bit of an app and media hoarder). I tried to get the Moto G Power from Metro, but their store staff said there were none avialable from them any longer in the entire area, so I ordered it here instead.The data backup (from old phone) and restore (to new phone), including all apps, appears to have worked flawlessly. I did not lose apps, or contacts, or media. Various apps did have to be reconfigured on first-run on the new phone, but I expected that. Using Nova Launcher, it even restored all my app groups/folders, and every icon to its original position. Nice. It's like having the same phone expect better than it was before.This phone coming with Android 15 out of the box is great (compared to phones still on sale today that have Android 14 or even 13). For me anyway, it did 3 system updates in as many days, so it's staying current (withing the Android 15 channel). My reason for upgrading to this phone at this time was that the Ace phone being stuck at an older Android version was a problem for me (e.g. one of my e-banking apps refused to work on the old OS any longer). I don't know if this phone will be upgradable to Android 16 (which has already been out for 3 months as of this writing), or what that upgrade process might be.A heads-up with regard to Metro by T-Mobile: If you try to have them set this phone up for you in the store, they are likely to claim that you have to get a different and more expensive plan than the one you have, claiming this phone "isn't compatible" with your current plan. This is nonsense. Instead, try to change your phone to this one using the website. If it doesn't work, use an old or borrowed phone to call Metro's customer service and talk to a real person through that system, and have them enable the new phone for you (either with an e-SIM or by moving your existing SIM card from original phone to new one), and make it clear that you expect to keep your original number and keep your existing plan (or have an equivalent one with same price for same level of service). If necessary, they can have a supervisor override any roadblocks. This step may be especially important for anyone qualifying for discounted service due to being on disability, social security, etc. While I'm going on my experience with Metro, similar caveats may apply to other carriers. They're all being more aggressive about trying to wedge more money out of people without actually improving their service level. Don't let them do that to you just because you got this particular phone (and didn't get it from them).Another caveat: Phones like this are fragile, unfortunately. You absolutely do need a protective case, not just a screen protector (that protects against scratches, not drops and other impacts). I would say order the case and screen protector before the phone, or at least to arrive on same day. You do not want to be tempted to carry this phone around and use it without the case being put on yet. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love my Motorola's *by on Reviewed in the United States September 27, 2026* I've always been a Motorola fan and this one did not let me down! It's a beautiful color that I wish I didn't have to hide with a case (for obvious reasons)And my two favorites with Motorola's are the three finger screenshot and quick shake back and forth to turn on the flashlight. I probably use both features many times a day!I've used Motorola cell phones for 2 decades and have never had a problem. The colors, battery life, features, no bloatware, quickness, etc all A+I've tried a couple different cells through the years and immediately went back to Motorola! Unfortunately I can't rate their customer service because I've never needed them!You will never go wrong with a Motorola! ## Frequently Bought Together - Motorola Moto G 5G | 2024 | Unlocked | Made for US 4/128GB | 50MP Camera | Sage Green - FNTCASE for Motorola Moto G-5G-2024 Case: Dual Layer Heavy Duty Cell Phone Protective Cover Shockproof Rugged with Non-Slip Textured - Military Drop Protection Bumper Tough Case (Black) - Supershieldz (3 Pack) Designed for Motorola Moto G 5G (2024) [Not Fit for Moto G Stylus 5G 2024] Tempered Glass Screen Protector, Anti Scratch, Bubble Free --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/625479436-moto-g-5g](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/625479436-moto-g-5g) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-10-13*
