@@Anxyte I have to disagree, i've been using Moto G phones since the G2, and my family has been using the E series, and while some of them in the E series have not gotten major Android updates, they have gotten security updates, which is more than I can say for LG phones in the same price range they got with Cricket Wireless that never get anything, except a bloated UI, and preloaded software you can uninstall without rooting the phone, which most will never know how to do. My G7 has gotten all the current security updates, and Android 10, and about 2 weeks ago my mother, and elder aunt's Moto E Supra on Cricket Wireless both got a series of OTA security updates, and the Lenovo forums when you need help have been really good as well, as it's not some faceless customer service rep handling it, it's actual Moto engineers, and they CARE about the product. Yes I know I might sound like a Moto/Lenovo shill here, but trust me if there was something better software experience, hardware specs, and customer service NEW under $200 USD I'd buy it, but there is not, and no the Google Pixel does not count as it's not a better overall phone.

Mate, let's be honest; people are buying into a hype of crap they don't need and most of them can't afford to start with... I had a revelation two days back as I came-up with the idea of hard-mounting a cheap phone to my motorcycle, instead of having a dedicated crappy GPS system there. I always thought that I needed the latest and the best and don't ask how many phones we purchased in our household; it's CRAZY!!! $1k every 14-18 month times three, while the "old" phones stop having ANY residual value. I did a bit of homework on inexpensive phones and this is how I found your video... I got the Moto G7 two days ago and I LOVED it, HOWEVER, I found out a day later that there is a better MOTO for only fifty bucks on top of what I had paid, the Moto G Power... I returned the G7 and got the G Power (or Moto 8 Power, how it's called on the rest of the planet). It's simply stunning to me that I paid $249 instead of $1k and it does the very same, but it's cuter with those gestures. For someone like me, who never ever watched a movie on a phone, or played a video game, all phones are the same, starting today. I was left believing that anything beyond "flagship" is crap and this was also the reason I never ever looked into what's out there... So here I am telling Goodby to all future iterations of the Samsung Note phones! I decrappled my home about six years ago and what a moment of joy that was...

[@avgrim7729]

If you could get either for same price which would you choose?

TORN between the 128gb memory vs 64gb (I know I can add an SD card, but TBT, haven't had much luck with that on my G6, so thinking stock hardware would be my preference), I DO like the idea of a stylus for various reasons (+, REALLY LIKED & WANTED the Galaxy Note 9 back in the day...& while I KNOW THIS Moto g Stylus is NO Samsung Galaxy Note....not by ANY stretch....I DO like the option of having a phone with a stylus....altho, it's not a deal breaker, by any stretch). But, LIKE the idea of the 5,000mAh battery of the G Power.....I mean.... day-um! My G6 has a 3,000mAh, but previously I did have a G6 Play w/ a 4,000mAh (if I remember correctly) & it was AMAZING... Either way, BOTH have bigger batteries than my current, so both are upgrades. IF g Stylus was still $50 more, I'd lean towards the g Power. But, BOTH are same, new/unsealed condition & have stumbled upon at under $175 UNLOCKED for either......so.....just curious as to what people in the know think about which is the better overall deal/bang for the buck AS WELL AS, which is more trouble/hassle-free, durable, smooth functionality & reliable.....

You do need to know that if you get a tempered glass screen protector put it on correctly, It will affect the accuracy of the Stylus. Its not a smart stylus but it is a nice metal mesh one. Besides that, plays music amazingly. The Camera takes great pictures. Call of duty Mobile runs on medium settings and smooth. screen is clear and bright. A lot of cases to choose from. My GF has a note 20, its better. but not $600 better. This phone is a great buy. Plus the new gestures are cool, Shake the phone for flashlight, twist it for camera. It makes life a lot easier.

The Android OS is bloated these days updating Android on the power corrupted the partitions of my sd card and non system folders updating, but assuming that doesn't happen to you the power is a damn fine phone.

People who don't find a stylus useful don't want to understand what can truly be done with one. They deserve a "basic" phone.

This guy is great at phone reviews, take care of him CNET.

[@dougpack4616]

Very good job. Thank you. I'm not a stylus guy either. I purchased the Power one.

[@josebenedico7379]

How do you go back to the page website that you close in the stylus? I have difficult to navigate in this phone

[@smartkorean1]

Started with the motog 3 and never turned backed on the Moto family. Currently on the motog 7 power and battery still going strong! Happy to see a new motog power

[@FenwayJoe7129]

Great review. Love the 5,000 mah of the Moto G Power. I would chose that one every time.

[@typhoon_8086]

These Moto phones look like excellent value for money, especially the G Power. I wonder though, how these Moto phones will compare to the IPhone SE and Pixel 3a and 4a? Thank you Mr Patrick! Have a great day!

[@619elephant9]

Well, it's a lot bigger and with a lot bigger battery than those phones

[@alihamad6741]

I think the 4a and iPhone SE is gonna be inferior. Better camera and better user experience

[@trentgaddy]

Can someone please in a nutshell explain how/why the Pixel 3a camera is better/so good? Everyone everywhere says it so I know there must be something there. But when I compare just the specs of the camera(s) it would seem like the Motos would win by a mile. Please forgive my ignorance.

The Samsung phone costs almost as much as my rent and the Motorola Stylus is about a third of the price. I've haven't used the NFC technology yet, but I'd rather have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. Aside from that, it seems to be a decent phone.

[@EricJost]

Where is the link to the CNET written review?

[@davidlaine2]

You were talking about the power but showed you using the stylis

[@moukafaslouka4796]

I got the moto g stylus for $200 shipped to my door.

[@stevesmith1383]

I did too. then I get a $100 rebate buy using promo that involved buying a prepaid sim card. Spent about $17 in extra costs, got $100 back, so I'll take that $83 discount any day. granted someone below mentions grabbing one for $75 during BF so I'm jealous lol

[@Brookside975]

With the Moto One Action for $267 on Amazon, it seems like a worthy contender too. Any comments?

[@tangchiprathomo819]

Steven Meyer if photograhy is your main interest, then One Action is a better choice.

[@blucroe]

So refreshing to have a reviewer with a sense of humour.....

[@MichaelBTech]

For the same customers the iPhone SE is geared towards, the Moto G Power blows the iPhone SE out of the water.

[@chuckcampbell3927]

WHICH ONE IS THE WIDEST?

[@lmontoyad]

I've been taking a lot of pictures lately since I have a granddaughter. The stylus could've been a great idea for editing with my sausage fingers, but the reviews I've seen on this phone don't talk too good about the camera. A shame.

[@IDrawToothpicks]

If you're sure about that. Because I've heard the camera is good .... and if you're on a budget. The g power cost less i think. Somewhat. And I've heard nothing but good things. And it's camera specs are less as well... so bizarre. I'm getting the g power for my sister and if I change my mind then I'd get her the stylus....goodbye to her Terrible LG stylo 3 if you want an LG though I heard only lgv40 may be worth. Not sure though. Were done with LG phones for a while

[@ILoveGrilledCheese]

All the Moto phones work great with the Gcam apk. The modified pixel camera application

[@kelvinfeliciano]

I am between moto g power and pixel 4a... but that is as far as I would go. I have never paid over $400 for a cellphone.

[@Leedah8]

Same. Which one did you choose?

[@kelvinfeliciano]

I haven't gotten a new one yet. I want the good camera with the pixel 4a but is lacking wireless charging which is something I was really looking forward. Currently, I have the Bold N1 which was $200.

[@CityChristina]

@@kelvinfeliciano Have you decided yet? I went to Pixel 4a from Motorola G7 Play. Yes, the Pixel's camera is better but I hate the cheap plastic feel. It's so light like a toy phone. G7 felt more premium even that it was cheaper. I think I'm going back to Moto.

[@kelvinfeliciano]

@@CityChristina I bought the G Power... So Far so good.

[@punchtyme7158]

Is this stylus Up their with I phone SE 2020?

[@10jumbou]

I am going with Moto G Power. Thanks for info.

[@bravestbullfighter]

Moto G Power with Google computational photography for $300 would be the dream.

[@bobbilheimersky7689]

Sir you did a great review with a fresh enjoyable technique for comparing these affordable devices! I've owned a ton of phones over my many years and I'm liking the sound of the offered features and especially the battery on the power! I'm returning the Umidigi power 3 which I loved until I heard it's almost complete lack of audio ability! Yes I installed the update and it actually got worse! Sincerely, BM

[@elchamber]

How about the Moto One Action?
