Review on Tracfone Motorola Moto G Power 4G LTE - Locked Black Smartphone (64GB) - CDMA - SIM Card Included by Carlos Abood

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good budget phone with problems. I missed the opportunity to be a great phone.

I upgraded from Moto G6 -> Moto G7 Maxx -> Moto G Power. The latest 2020 G Power is a good budget phone with 64GB of storage which I appreciate even with the added microSD card. 4GB of RAM works great for app storage, so I spend less time rebooting. The 2020 G Power Phone is slightly faster than the G7 Maxx, has a better resolution (hard to see with the eye), a slightly larger screen, and a better camera. It also has top and bottom stereo speakers. Now a couple of questions. Compared to the G7 Maxx, the battery life is slightly shorter (probably due to the higher screen resolution). Surprisingly, the 2020 G Power charger is rated at 10W, while the G7 was 17W. So it takes about 25% longer to charge a new phone. I don't know why Motolora retired. It should be faster, not slower. The 3-lens camera is also better than the G7 Maxx, but still disappointing. Especially the macro lens, which is grainy and looks too yellow. It's useless. But I prefer the pinhole front camera to the G7's notch design. He's less pushy. The two-speaker stereo is better tuned than the G7, but the audio isn't loud enough. At maximum volume, the speakers produce a humming noise that bothers me. Finally, I don't know why, but the 2020 G Power's fingerprint sensor is way worse than the G6 or G7. I bought two 2020 G Powers so I know I didn't get a broken phone. Both of my G Powers have serious lag when they misread their fingerprints. I also wonder why 2020 G Power no longer has a face unlock feature. Overall this is a good budget phone, especially at the retail price. Most users would be satisfied with the features and specifications. But let's hope Motorola makes G9 phones without the above issues. I would like to upgrade again within a year.

Pros
  • Excellent Overall Performance
Cons
  • Exchange Availability

It's good if it's half the price of the unlocked Moto G Power
