        Don't know why this comment is down voted, but 128gb with no option to expand is an issue for most users, you will run out of storage if you plan to keep the phone multiple years

                • choodi on 01/10/2022 - 13:24

                  @xoom: You can get 20GB+ for $25 or less, so quota shouldn't be a problem unless you are on some terrible plan. Coverage is less of a problem these days with wifi on planes and the ability to download media within apps like Netflix. 128GB stores a lot of music and movies.

                  • xoom on 01/10/2022 - 13:30

                    @choodi:

                    unless you are on some terrible plan.

                    Ding ding ding. We have a winner.

                    Coverage is less of a problem these days with wifi on planes and the ability to download media within apps like Netflix.

                    Less of a problem is not equal to not a problem at all. Not everyone has a netflix account.

                    128GB stores a lot of music and movies.

                    512GB microsd stores even more and you will never suffer buffering issues. No coverage. No problem.

                    TL;DR

                    not a problem for you doesn't mean not a problem for everyone else.

                      @xoom: A problem for you doesn't mean a problem for everyone else. I survived on 32/64GB for many years, let alone 128GB. My 21-year-old relative survived on 64GB for 5 years and just upgraded to 128GB a week ago only because that seems to be the minimum nowadays. For the price, I'm happy to stick with 128GB.

                        @craving: The point i was making is. If you can survive on 64GB. Then good for you. For everybody else that can't. Calling them a loser as choodi said.

                        Stating to just stream everything. Which is not always an option for others.

                        Just like the headphone jack. The microsd card slot is not something you have to use if you don't want to. It's called having options/feature.

                        I personally have no problem with people who can make do with 64GB of storage on a phone. It's those that are vocal about the loss of the microsd card stating good riddance. Nobody needs it. Those are the people i don't understand.

      My current Motorola Edge has the worst camera I've ever used. Slow to focus, and when it does, everything still looks out of focus. Terrible low light performance. In good light, lots of fringing. Colours don't look right. Had a lot of Xiami phones before which blew away the motorola. Wouldn't buy another motorola product.

    I bought the Moto G 5G Plus (128GB) last year for $300 (Thanks OzBargain), but recently smashed the screen - quoted replacement plus fitting $165.

    Wondering whether to repair or buy a new phone so this is tempting, but for a two-year newer model I don't see very much improvement over the G-5G-Plus; smaller battery, no SD card slot (although 128GB is fine on my current phone), slightly smaller screen (not that that's necessarily a bad thing), and at a glance the camera specs look lower except for the slight MP increase.

    Hmmm.

    Thanks for posting OP. If it was closer to $300 I think I would bite.

    • scottySK on 01/10/2022 - 09:30

        • xoom on 01/10/2022 - 12:10
          +3

          You do the karate chop action to turn on the flash to use it as a light.

          you do the wobble motion to quick open up the camera app.

          • Fobsessive on 02/10/2022 - 00:58

            @xoom: I finally decided to turn on karate chop on my Moto. Seems very convenient. Heard good things about it over the years, not gimmicky unlike Galaxy skins.

        • outlander on 01/10/2022 - 12:36
          +5

          To elaborate on what xoom said, the phone uses the tilt sensors inside it to detect specific motions and use that to trigger actions like turning the flashlight on and opening the camera.

          It sounds gimmicky, but what ends up happening is that becomes so second nature that it borders on instinctive. Power goes out? In 1 second you have light.
          See something that needs capturing? The phone is already in your hand with the camera app waiting.

          Of course you can do both of these things quite quickly already from the lockscreen, but Motorola makes it so easy you can do it without looking. Once you've got used to it, its hard to go back

      • INFIDEL on 02/10/2022 - 08:49

    Having NFC and dual Sim is a huge win at this price. CPU specs seem like no slouch and a nice big screen.

    Very tempting!
