Moto G Power 5G (2024) Unboxing & First Impressions!

[@michaelwalters2629]

I got this phone and i honestly love it. I have had it for 4 days and one thing i love is the battery life. I watch a lot of movies and play games on my phone and can play all day without the battery dying

[@leonid3617]

Does it have an event indicator?

[@OmegaWolf747]

Could Moto be making a comeback? I hope so. It can't always be Apple vs Samsung.

[@shadex582]

I stopped buying Apple and Samsung when they took away the 3.5mm on their headphone jack, more $ for less functionality was never my jam. To be fair seems like most people either didn't care or are sheeple. Either way I'm hoping they make a comeback to.. I root for any phone with a 3.5mm jack lol.

[@ianpatrickhall2292]

​@@shadex582 Very true

[@jebstuart3]

I certainly hope so. I won't touch an APPLE or a SAMSUNG.

[@tpcthepatrickchannelOFFICIAL]

First viewer! I personally think that Motorola is just good. But like I said, Samsung will always have some stuff that Motorola doesn't. 😁

[@curtdiggity4948]

I agree I like both. But I think you can't do that many things on Motorola that you can on Samsung

U can't compare Samsung phones with moto phones Samsung offers 4 years of software update and its phones have higher display resolutions while moto phones only offer one years of software update and their phones still using LCD lame

[@christinafay]

I absolutely love my 2022 Moto Power but, as expected, the functionality and networking speeds have become sluggish after 2+ years of daily use etc so it's time to get a new one. I was all jazzed up and excited to order the new 2024 5G Power but that came crashing to a halt the second I realized they got rid of the rear fingerprint sensor. No joke, I froze and just straight up cried like Nancy Kerrigan when I saw that. WHY!?!?!?! WHY!?!?!??!! 😩 Motorola changed the game with that sensor and everyone that saw it was super jealous and wanted to know why they didn't have one on their super expensive phones too. From what I could tell everybody loved the rear sensor and I personally don't ever want to go back to just an on screen unlock sensor. I know the new one has the sensor on the side but how is that going to work with a case? Ugh. I'm so effing blown. I know I'm going to eventually get the new model but goddammit, I'm still pouting about it.

[@Cigzretes]

Did you buy it yet and they make cases where the power button is still able to use finger print I have a Moto g power 5g and honestly it's better than my Samsung on games and I mean camera wise it's eh but it doesn't overheat like my Samsung does on games but yes they do make cases for the power button to still be able to read finger print

[@unitcharles689]

This phone makes it a hard purchase when the thinkphone is 399 and the pixel 7 is 399, also the Nord n30 is 249. But I think the phone would be amazing if Motorola dropped the price to 250. I would buy this in a heartbeat. Becaucause of the extas like wireless charging, and ultrawide camera is great.

[@BendApparatus]

Wait...so $100 less and no embedded ads (cough1+hack) and near premium features (NFC, wireless C) makes it a hard buy?...😏

[@meyou4566]

Unitcharles is spot on. Especially because of the nord. Bend doesn't know what he is talking about.

[@unitcharles689]

@@BendApparatus I have the previous gen 2023. It has the same CPU. The mediatek Dimensity 7020 is a rebranding of the mediatek Dimensity 930. The display is not that great when compared to the pixel, one plus Nord, or the thinkphone which is Motorola. The thinkphone has all the features and significantly more including the snapdragon 8 plus gen 1. Crazy performance both CPU and GPU. The Nord has about the same compute performance as the moto G with the SD 695. GPU might be slightly better than on the 7020? Not sure.. The pixel is about 2.5X the performance with better display and ipx 68 as well as the thinkphone. I'm not bashing the moto g power. But for 100$ you gain a lot going with some of the other brands listed. You lose wireless charging to the Nord, but the Nord has a way better display. And I am not a display snob. But the peak brightness is sunlight sucks on the moto. But I own it over the Nord. I like to wait for sales. I'm waiting to see what the Galaxy A35 brings to the table when it it officially released to the US market. The CPU on the A35 is about 30% faster with a flagship display and pretty good cameras and waterproofing. I am not a brand loyalist. But I like moto actions and overall value. I may get this phone. I have no reason to upgrade over my pixel 5 just yet.

[@BendApparatus]

@@unitcharles689 I have a pixel 6... it's crap...it runs like a toaster...and the battery life is for people that have better things to do than be on their phone all day... KZbin (their own app) crashes all the time and if you somehow linked the fingerprint sensor to a game of Russian roulette... you'd lose 97% of the time...me personally...I miss my 2019 Moto Edge so much...🤷🏻‍♂️ Oh 1 more...the display brightness in full daylight is laughable...

[@BendApparatus]

@@unitcharles689 I can't even offer an answer because KZbin has me on a list of comments auto delete because they're communist...

[@90slimit1]

This compared to the to g stylus 5g 2023?

[@PhillipLemmon]

Thinking about getting this one or the stylus 5g 2023... waiting for the gaming video....!

[@luiskevincastillo7826]

I have a 2022 moto g stylus and the reason I chose this over the power was because of the stylus 2 years later I realized I don't use the stylus. My opinion is, if you don't draw or paint just get the power.

[@dinerdashing]

Hi, Thank you so much for doing this video. My Moto G Power from 2020 is close to completely konking out on me for good, so I'm gonna need to upgrade fast. Quick question for you… My Moto G Power has a standard, wall charging block, but this one does not, and so without the charging block that some phones still come with, like mine, exactly how does one go about charging this phone? I don't understand. Could you take a moment to tell me how I would charge it up if it doesn't have a wall charger? Do I need to buy an attachment of some sort? If so, where and how much? Thank you for your time.

[@Cigzretes]

Yes you can buy a wall charged that has a usbc port if your charger is USBC to USBC I bought mine from at&t but they're at Walmart and I think target and phone companies sell them I have one where it's a fast wall charger with USBC plug in and standard plug in, Hope this helps

[@JosephMass]

If they stick with snapdragon chips and full hd screens everything would be fine! No reason they shouldn't have a minimum of the SD7 gen 1 chips

[@therealbatman583]

[@mathesar]

Camera quality is hit or miss when comparing shots to my 2021 Moto Stylus 5G both indoor & outdoors, the Power has an issue with photos having low contrast with HDR enabled I think its something Moto could adjust with a software update. Other than this the Power has been solid, much brighter IPS display than my Stylus (also IPS) and the 8GB RAM helps a lot with keeping things running smooth especially when i have a podcast or stream running in the background while playing a game, my Stylus is a carrier model with only 4GB RAM. Thankfully the Power 2024 doesnt have a stripped down model so even carrier versions are 8GB / 128GB.

[@andrewcrano7103]

I have non stop issues with my moto g 5g 2023 with KZbin TV with regards to lag and freezing. Does this phone fix that performance wise?

[@DWtechfan]

This looks like a great device except for that display. No amoled at $300 is not good in 2024 especially with the Samsung A15 5g having amoled at $100 less. You’d be better off buying the Motorola ThinkPhone for $399 that has pOled display and the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. And it has that sweet fiber rugged type finish on the back with a 68W charger in the box.

[@bernielomax4702]

That’s because Samsung makes the displays and Moto decided it was more important to shove a useless 120hz refresh rate on a dog slow, shitty optimized phone for some reason.

[@mbuckley925]

PWM sensitive in reference to OLED. I love that Moto is still using LCD

[@YOO-KAMBA]

Thanks man when you make another review please 🙏 make sure to check if the phone has a screen recorder and live caption feature ❤ this phone is beautiful but the worst thing is fingerprint they should have put it in the screen but that won't stop me from the phone 😊

[@Cigzretes]

It has screen recorder and live caption feature and it has a game bubble with m on it and you can change how the performance is which is very very handy but it doesn't overheat on games either for me it's 100% a good phone

[@brucejuice350]

Great video...Motorola has the potential to be a good competitor but for some reason they don't do it.

[@TechRight]

Thanks so much for the super chat Bruce! I really appreciate it boss! True, Motorola needs to go harder next time. Still a decently solid device though.

[@ritaferdi5831]

If you get a military case so the phone won't break with it charge wireless?

[@pixelgaming7261]

9:59 It is a rebranded Dimensity 930, so if you've played with the Moto G Power 5G from last year, you should have a rough idea of how it performs.

[@JosephMass]

Why get this when the stylus 2023 is cheaper and about twice as fast performance wise! You get a full hd screen and a SD 6 gen 1 chip!

[@lucasbrown7338]

Love that the Moto G Power 5G (2024) kept the headphone jack! Plus, the Dimensity 7020 sounds like a nice upgrade. I think this one is a great one in term of the value for the money.

Wait, I have had this phone since April of this year, and I for the life of me cannot get the gesture to work for my flashlight, it works for my camera, which I use all the time. How the hell do you turn that feature on? I’ve been through all the settings in the phone at this point it really don’t matter because I just recently upgraded to the Motorola razr 2024, which will be here tomorrow.
