Great review! This device doesn’t get much coverage in the tech space on TH-cam but it’s an important part of that budget to midrange series of phones. The only downside is only 1 OS update and 3 years of bimonthly security updates. And they should’ve went with a pOled display with higher peak brightness. Otherwise, it’s a solid device at $279.
I've had my Power 2024 for a little over a month, it's a solid phone and feels like an upgrade vs. my previous 2021 Stylus 5G, my only gripe would be the average camera quality, the main rear camera quality doesnt look any better than my 3 year old Stylus and there's even a little bit of chromatic aberration in the Power's photos, but I got the Power for $89 through Cricket so can't really complain (existing customer upgrade). Next upgrade cycle (May 2025) I'll go back to a Stylus as I didn't realize Motorola uses better quality camera hardware in those and as of 2024 they're using OLED displays as well.
I also had no idea the Stylus was the top Moto G model. They're always changing up the models and at this point I think maybe they are trying to confuse customers. I remember when the regular Moto G was the top Moto G model and the power was below it. This year it's the stylus? Let's see what they do next year.
People have hated on this phone in the tech community but it actually looks like a decent device. And if you get it through Straight Talk and activate it with a $45 plan the phone is free at wal mart now. I agree with the phrase it gets the job done. Sums up every Motorola I’ve ever had. Does everything I need it to at a reasonable price. How are calls on this phone? I have the G play 2024 and I love it on everything but call quality.
This phone needs a lot of adjustments out the box like finding and deleting/disabling bloatware or unnecessary features. I wish I spent a little extra for the Moto G (2024) with the Snapdragon Chip but for this price it's impressive what you get. As for the call quality, it sounds and feels cheap. Sometimes the phone feels fast and then sluggish.
I was wondering about the alarm settings. Does the phone turn it self on if it is turned for the night if you set the alarm to wake you up? My Huawei does that.
The Moto G Power 5G 2025 is going to be an exciting device. If they keep the headphone jack and micro sd card and upgrade to like a Dimensity 7200, that shit would mog any phone in the price range
Question: I didn't get a charging adapter in the Straight Talk Box with this new phone for some reason. (The kid in Walmart electronics set it up for me with Straight Talk - it took 1 arduous hr. Maybe he took it out of the box, and left it out accidentally?). I still have the adapter from my lost Moto G Pure. It's white, and is unfortunately rated at only 5V/2A = 10W input charge rate. I need an adapter that can do a 30W charge rate, right??
@@_AlteredTechYeah. So I need a 30 amp rated fast charging wall outlet adapter. Is it worth it to get the $25 - $30 Motorola adapter that works with this phone's software? Or to buy a smaller, cheap $10 30 amp one at Walmart. I'm on the road - no mailbox right now.
I don't know of any brown versions, but $200 extra for more memory on a phone like this is a lot. If you are talking storage memory, it has an expandable card slot. If you mean more RAM, well it depends on how many Apps you use.
Yo! Been debating it. Heard good things and bad things with the last update. Gonna have to buy it outright because T-Mobile dropped them. I have my eyes on the S24 Ultra but let’s see if a good oneplus deal arrives. Software update been crap I’ve heard, $799 seems a lot to deal with that
This is a great phone! I'm glad I bought it

Moto is simply a good device company. Many choices and ease of use

Lost my Moto G Pure Budget Phone on the Bus. Got this one for FREE! Through Straight Talk. Glad I lost it 😆.
That's a nice upgrade!
Last time I had a moto phone was back in 2010 it was like a blackberry knock off but Moto. 😅 this one looks really good though!
THINK ABOUT GOING TO STRAIGHT TALK SOON CAUSE CRICKET GETTING ON MY NERVES WITH THESE LATE FEES

I'm buying mine tomorrow they offer it free with new line as $45 plan
Nice!

I believe I did not get a charger with this phone. It only came with the Sim card and cable.

Getting this phone soon!
Get it! I got one on June 28th and I love it.
just got this phone for free from Straight Talk when I paid for a plan
Yoooo! Thanks to your comment, I just got 2 with the purchase of a silver plan! Thanks dude !!!!!
I see this same phone in black and the other in a light brown color with more memory is it worth the 200$ or go with the black one?

Hello I saw you have a OnePlus charger are you going to review one of their phones. I have the 12 it is a good phone.

@@_AlteredTech I have the s24 ultra and for over a month my SIM has been in the OnePlus 12 so does that say something about the 12.
Back and sides mean nothing to me. I put mine in a case anyway.
Yeah I always put a case on my daily phones.
does the phone have nfc?
Yes.
Yep
@@_AlteredTech thank you
