Whats the size of it?
i am noticing some love for ek9s, nice 😏
Motorola Moto G Play 2024: 90Hz screen for $110
Apple iPhone 16 Plus 512GB: 60Hz screen for $1200
What 2024 G Play? I’m still rocking the moto G7 on one hand and the motorola one on the other both running android 10. Good times
It’s android 14 now
Which one is best dumb phone, just want it to be upto date but confused with whether to go with an e-ink or a flip phone
-Bigme Hisense or pro (release 13th jan i guess)
-minimal phone (world wide release between jan to march)
These are the ones that i know of actually
Motorola phones are simply a traching device for Meta,Tencell and other shitty company who wants our data besidea Lenovo. You need to use ADB/Shizuku to debloat it.
Moto G series, has been a great budget phone for years and years. People need to remember, its a phone.
Buying a phone, camera, and gaming system, is cheaper than buying an expensive phone. And does everything better. Professional camera men use cameras, not phones.
The only reason to buy an expensive phone, is if you want it all in a small package. And are addicted to the mobile games that try to suck all your money away to China. People should wise up, and treat a phone, like a phone. It doesnt have to be the best to do its job good enough. My 1st gen Moto G served me for many years, not great but. It also only cost me 50 bucks.
What they offer for even 100 bucks nowadays. Is more than functional for the vast majority of people. But then phone companies couldnt get you paying 15-25 dollars per month on top of your bill for years, for a phone with a non removeable battery that the govt is using to spy on you.
$50 from Amazon for me
2:54 And from a distance… it looks just like any other phone out there.
I have this phone and it doesnt work really eell like carx street with low graphichs it gets 4 fps and if i try to install cod of war i cant from the playstore but taptap gives it to you for free and i installed it and when the download of 5gb was finished it crashed the game and i had -999999 fps
I’m using the Motorola G35, it’s been fantastic so far, for the price range, I’d say it’s excellent, I didnt wanna spend too much on a phone and it’s been a huge stepup from my last device, i used that for years(7 years actually, it’s the Realme U1, it still works aside from the fact it turns off randomly)
Uhm you can get by just fine on a $40 Walmart phone. I’ve been doing it for years. People think they need waay more than you actually do.
I recently got a Samsung Galaxy S10e in 2024, along with the exact same Motorola phone included in my T-Mobile plan. Honestly, the Samsung S10e not only has a more attractive design but also performs significantly faster and feels far more premium overall.
To clarify, I chose to buy the 2019 Samsung S10e because I needed a device that could handle MP4 files effectively, and my Electronics professor highly recommended Samsung for this purpose. For just $120 (128GB) plus an additional $24 for a 128GB MicroSD card, the S10e offers incredible value compared to the Motorola.
The fact that you can expand its storage up to 1TB with a MicroSD card is absolutely mind-blowing! It’s an excellent choice for anyone looking for a budget-friendly, high-performance phone with plenty of storage.
do not buy the moto g54 5g its so bad it had plastic over their camera lenses, they just steamed up and scratched up within a week, i gave Motorola a shot i wont again
It’s a bit screen for only HD+ resolution, only 4G and only has 4GB RAM with a lower mid-range processor. Picking up a couple of years old upper midrange phone would be a better deal.
Even Motorola’s own Edge 30 (2022) blows this phone out of the water in every category and can be picked up used for 150 bucks.
So much is ok too & you don’t did it. No is not ok when Samsung has the A15 st the same price with 90Hz OLED, 5G, 128GB at the same price at 150$
I’m on my 4th Motorola budget smart phone – love them!
Something to note about Motorola. The Software by Motorola is a HUGE thing you should consider. I purchased the $600 Motorola Edge, one of their top lineups. The camera crashed about 75% of times using it. Had to sell it off and ended up going back to iPhone.
I totally believe you. Even greater for a good enough unlocked international work phone alternative.
I bought the Motorola G play for $99 in 2023, it’s been perfect.
Without software updates it’s basically e-waste, or will be in a year or two. I think it’s better to spend a $200-$300 at least, to get 3 ish years of updates. That should greatly improve the lifespan of a smartphone.
BOOM!
I daily drive that phone, it is actually pretty good
Motorola are kicking ass… Where as apple 🍎 are ripping you a new asshole with every new phone 📱
Why didn’t you include the classic hello moto intro
Honestly i rather get a 4G phone because 5G is not nationwide
brilliant video, using this as a secondary device to minimise distractions, yet still having a more purposeful device than one of them e-ink type phones is a HUGE plus.
I have the exact same phone as in the thumbnail and its $400, not $150
Moto G 54 seems the best choice. Mine cost around 100 USD here in Norway.
My problem is that I use smartphone to shoot video, and the phones that have good cameras are all expensive, unfortunatelly. But if I didn’t care about that, any smartphone would be enough for me. My mi 11 lite fell into the water and now I bought this g04s, but I’ll still miss the camera so much 😪😪
this same phone sells here in brazil for the same price but with 128gb, an t606 instead of the snappie 680, and with the name "moto g04s"
currently, its the most selled motorola phone here because it delivers way too much for its price
Lol I’m using a 2020 moto G Stylus along side a 2021 moto G Power. Both running Android 11. Whatever though, still rocking that 48mp main sensor
My second Moto G Power, this one is the 5G. This phone is bleeding edge and is $200 unlocked. Snappy performance, huge battery, great picture taking. I can’t see just what more you get in a $1000 phone. Also, I turned on my bro to Motorola and he has his 2nd Moto G at $150. both models have every feature imaginable in a modern handset (although the Moto G lacks wireless charging) If Motorola can offer these leading edge phones unlocked for $200 and less, why can’t every other manufacturer? Are you listening Apple, Samsung?
I want a flagship stylus support from Motorola apart of g series
Bought mine from Walmart about 7 months ago for 90usd and it’s probably the best budget phone I’ve had in my life sometimes even outperforming the 200 dollar phones I’ve had before.
I got the Moto G 5G and it does 💯 of what I need it to do. Thanks Motorola 👍
If ALL Android phones give at the very least 2 years of software updates, my life would be complete
For the same price, this or a s21
I have the moto G stylus 5g 2022. It has Android version 13, with 8.0 GB RAM, 256 GB ROM. The cameras are as follows- front 16 MP and rear 50MP + 2MP + 8MP.
When I purchased this a year and a half ago I previously was a Samsung phone brat. But I couldn’t afford another Samsung so I settled on Motorola hoping I would be somewhat happy with it. Let me tell you for $300 I am very very pleased!! To get everything this phone has with Samsung or any other major brand phone I would have had to spend upwards of $1,000 or more. It also came with the power/charger cord and the wall plug in. Way to go Motorola!!!! I just might be a Motorola brat now!
I bougt a Motorola 54g about a year ago here in Sweden. It Costa me $190 approximatly. Now this Phone has 5g and 5000 mAh battery.
The screen has 120Hz refresh rate but I have selected 60Hz to save batteri. Camera has 50 megapixels, thats more than enough.
I really like this Phone since I dont need to charge it every Day.
Is it better than the 2015 Moto X Pure?
Wow, I cant believe how similar it is to my pixel 8!
In the US A15 is a better value.
motorola is UTTER TRASH, i had 3 motorolas in the past and all of them, ALL!!!, ended in the bin: the most expensive (edge 40 ultra) stopped working after 4 months, 1 stopped working after 6 months, the other got the battery inflated so it was risky to use… not anymore. MOTOROLA NOT ANYMORE
I have a 2022 Motorola G5 (bought new). Does everything I need it to do. Never have had a problem, charges fast, battery last forever. Cost $200.
Cameras are OK but if I want to take fancy pictures I use my Canon camera. Would recommend Motorola cell phones.
why did i think the sponsor was an actual ad
At my local Walmart they have the 2024 Moto G play 4g for only $30
Like you can buy a Toyota Carolla or a Mercedes.The Toyota does the job.
All I need.
