Motorola Moto G Power 5G | 2023 | Unlocked | Made for US 4/128GB | 50 MPCamera | Mineral Black

Everything works fine. Very solid phone. Supports 5g. What's to complain?? Well, for me it's the charge speed. In this day & age not having fast charging is a sin. I will be keeping the 2023 version as a backup phone or might just return it. Just ordered the 2024 version which supposedly supports fast charging & wireless charging. Been charging this phone since I got it & it's been about 3 hours or so. I went from 40% to 61%. Literally as I'm typing this. Just had to let people know since no one talked about it at all. If this isn't an issue for you, then this phone is your perfect phone. Otherwise I use my phone a lot so needing a full 5-6 hours to fully charge your phone daily is not ideal for me. Most reviews say Battery life seems to be quite good. Just the charge process seems bad. For me at least. I like to go out occasionally & knowing my phone will not easily charge fast should it hit zero doesn't put me at ease. For example like camping & using GPS or even using it to play music. In my experience phones will eventually die after a full day regardless of battery life. Meaning it will take at least 3-4 hours to hit 0% to 20%. Sorry, for the long scenario review. I just wished this product said it wasn't compatible with fast charging. Although to be fair it never said it did.Hope this helps anyone to make a solid decision on buying the "2023" version of the Moto G Power. This is a solid phone, just a bit of a relic in charge technology.-Originally 3 Star Review**Update**9/16/20242023 version works solid. Only been 2 days but I've gotten the gist of it. It's definitely going to be my backup phone. No changes since my initial review. Battery life is standard. I don't play gaming apps much anymore so I can't say how gaming potential really is. Maybe someone else will do a stress test in regards to that. Still I'm a bit bummed about the no NFC & charging seems to have gotten better. A bit inconsistent with charge speed, but maybe it's just me or it doesn't like my lightning cables. otherwise very solid phone. Overall review 8.5/10. Perfect if you aren't too nit picky about tech & current accessibility.2024 Version. Yeah, as I thought. Just using it I can feel it's more up to speed with modern times. Has NFC. Wireless Charge Capabilities. Camera is pretty good. Solid overall. With all the bells & whistles on battery life is good. I mean could optimize it to performance mode but what's the fun in that?? Otherwise this is a straight upgrade from the 2023 version. I wouldn't call it perfect, but I can say I can recommend it without hesitation. Definitely better than the LG G8 Thinq I had & I absolutely loved the LG G series. Oh & having the fingerprint scanner to the side where the power button is located is a nice feature. Although screen shots are a bit awkward if you try to use traditional inputs. This phone offers a shortcut. When placing 3 fingers (imagine a dog/cat paw formation) on the screen it will take a screenshot. Although the emergency override with +Volume & Power button are both on one side so that's definitely annoying. Probably my only real con. 9.5/10, I would say it's a 10 but there are better phones out there. However for the Best bang for your buck. This is definitely a steal.-5 stars for both versions now that I understand what I'm working with. Unfortunate that I was unsatisfied with the 2023 version, but like I said. Would make a great backup phone.

I REALLY LOVE THIS MOTO G POWER 5G PHONE!!! I purchased my original Moto 5G in 2019 and for a very long time I was very hesitant in replacing it with a newer version. Even though I did consider briefly buying a Moto 7G Phone in 2022 but I just wasn’t impressed with the unusual changes Motorola made just to make it look and work “different”. However, when I first saw this 2023 Version I was very happy to see that a lot things were back to the way I remembered them before changes they made to the Interface were actually ones that I liked. Such as Swiping down on the Homescreen “twice” instead of “once” to Auto-Rotate the Screen, which I used to accidentally do all the time. I know that something like this is very minor but it’s just one of the many ways Moto rethought the Interface to be more user-friendly.IMPORTANT POINTS: This Phone has a Three-Day Battery Life, which is truly excellent! The feel, the weight and the look of it is really nice and it fits in my hand and pocket perfectly. The Display Screen and Refresh Rate is top notch and the Performance is Fantastic! Another BIG PLUS for me is that it has a 256GB of Storage as compared to 128GB. Also this Phone still has a Headphone Jack (Yay!) and it comes with a Phone Charger in the Box, which the 2024 Version does NOT have.THE ONLY NEGATIVE: For some reason Motorola thought that I wanted to have Tik-Tok and another App already Installed and it was difficult to remove it. By the way, I heard that the Moto g Power 5G 2024 has A LOT more of these Applications ALREADY installed, which is absolutely something I do NOT want at all.NOTE: I intentionally did NOT purchase the 2024 Version of the Moto g Power 5G partially because of the “reimagined” Interface, nor all of the massive amount of ALREADY installed “Bloatware” I’ve been reading about. Also, since I am very concerned about Security, I did NOT want the New NFC (Near Field Communications) which would include my Credit Card, Tap to Pay and other Financial information on my Cellphone. Although, I would have liked to have the New Wireless Charging Feature but it was something I able to live without.
