    Thanks for covering dear old Motorola, I still have a soft spot for them with the flashlight chop and camera twist. I say they need a compact in their G lineup, about 5.7" screen. Won't happen, but would be nice.

    The Moto G Stylus is a much better buy for 50 bucks more, 1080p OLED screen, double the ram, wireless charging, 1080p 60fps and 4k recording, its a beast for the price!

    Plus at walmart they can frequently discount it for as low as $59.99 which is already a generous price haha.

    I think its great that you cover these budget phones too... Sounds like a great option for those on a tight budget or for a first phone for a kid! I literally laughed when you were talking about the "water resistance". I am still loving the OnePlus13 and I was thinking about the gap in coverage between the two phones... but what can you expect for a $200 phone! lol.

    I think this phone is really good for the price. I wish they would give longer updates. I think it is great you are reviewing other less expensive phones besides the flagships. The Ultras are just out of our price point for our family with a lot of kids.

    • @tamwilfred
      @tamwilfred 9 днів тому +1

      I read the forums and someone couldn't use their moto phone anymore for work because the lack of security updates. Assuming that Moto only give two years of updates then it's about $100 a year. Whereas if you buy Samsung s25 for $800 then that's about $114.28 a year. So that makes it seem that they are pretty close. Since there are always deals on Samsung phone the price could be even lower. I own a few Moto phones and the experience on their budget line can be a hit or miss. Since the price is so low, they don't really show much love in the software development. My Moto 2023 stylus is laggy and sutters sometimes compared to the Moto 2024 G. Moto doesn't push for software updates as frequently as well.

  • @ianpatrickhall2292
    @ianpatrickhall2292 4 дні тому

    Good review, although I still dont like the fact that the phone only ships with 4gb of physical RAM. At this point. It should have at least be 6gb of ram. The 2022 version of this phone literally had 6gb of ram and double the amount of storage, the 2022 version having a 64gb variant, but also having a 256gb storage variant. Why do they keep selling phones with 64gb or 128 gb? At this point i think 64gb shouldn't really be an option anymore in 2025 especially with Android and applications (unfortunately) increasing in size, taking up lots of phone storage, I know you can put an SD card which is good, but I think its also nice to have the onboard space, especially when you most likely will keep the phone for 3-4 years. Its just for future-proofing. Having a 720p screen also just isnt right for a 6.7 inch phone. I feel like it could have gotten a 1080p screen at the very least. 128gb should be the new minimum when it comes to stroage. Also, not including the UltraWide camera is a bit of a disappointment. But at least its still very affordable and it can get the necessities done, and that they updated the software policy for the 2025 lineup.

    Sometimes it could be a hit or miss with the moto budget lines. It comes down to the software development for it. I got a moto stylus 2023 with a SD 6 series boost mobile branded that has performance issues and lag. The boost 2024 moto g with weaker specs and the media tek ran better.
