Motorola Moto G 5G | 2023 | Unlocked | Made for US 4/128GB | 48 MPCamera | Ink Blue, 163.94×74.98×8.39

Great Value
I will start off by saying I have no interest in $1000+ cell phones – to me they are disposable devices that get replaced every few years. That said, this is the perfect phone for my purposes. The coverage (carrier dependent), audio, display quality and speed are perfect for my needs. I use the this as – wait for it – a phone – as well for texting and taking some pictures, mapping directions, etc.This is my 4th or 5th Motorola phone, and I have always been happy with the value proposition. Even through my former carrier the Motorola phones have always had much less bloatware than, say Samsung (ugh) which loads up their phones with all kinds of nonsense. When you buy it unlocked it comes with even less bloatware, and you can delete or disable most of it.It is much faster than my old phone, which one would expect, with 8MB of RAM, and 128MB of internal storage. There are several things I like about this phone, a couple being that it still has a headphone jack, and also it will take a micro SD card for additional storage. Both of these features are found on very few phones these days. There are 2 features that are unique to Motorola on the phones I have had, including this one, that are REALLY convenient. You can open the camera app just by twisting your wrist, and you can turn on the flashlight by a chopping motion – no screen to wake up or app to start up – brilliant really.Also, the battery life (5000ma) is phenomenal. I can use it all day, leave it overnight, and it will still have plenty of charge the next day. I really only charge it every other day. I will note that I turn off as many background processes as I can, don’t watch movies on the phone (really?), and in general use it as a tool, not a brain-sucking toy (editorial comment :-). If you want a well functioning device and don’t want to spend huge dollars this phone may be right for you.

Good price on a nice phone
I’ve had two Moto Power models. I like the battery time, and the no frills style of phone.The one frills I liked on my previous model was two of the gestures – shake for flashlight, rotate for camera. I upgraded the OS shortly after getting this phone and neither of those gestures work on this model. Perhaps that will get fixed with a later update?Also a little disappointed with the lack of ringtones to replace the dopey one that is the default (it says “hello moto”, so stupid). But that is easy to fix so not a big issue. That spurred me to browse a few and I quickly found one that I really like.The issues are all minor. Bottom line is this is still the phone I like – good battery life, inexpensive, and functional.

Was NOT unlocked…….returned item only to find it is now “lost in transit”……What an inconvenience this is. I am still waiting for a resolution to the problem.Unhappy customer.
