Its funny that you can't install mobile android games on a micro SD but you can run God of war 2018 off a micro SD in a steam deck😅...
-
It's really frustrating that you can get a cheap phone like this that performs just as well as one would need, but you can't get a cheap tablet with the same specs.
-
For $150 cant complain. Just shows how much people are willing to pay for branding and bells/whistles!
-
my man put Initial D on the phone to test it, mad respect
-
Moto phones have been amazing in the under $200 range for years. Moto X and G were mid range beasts for their time
-
I've been using the MotoG power for a while now. Thankfully I don't have to worry too much about security updates since AT&T has already given the world all of my personal info.
-
This is EXACTLY the kind of phone I will be looking for when my pixel 6a eventually dies. Good to see companies can still deliver solid devices without charging me an arm and a leg.
-
Motorola’s Achilles heel has always been lack of software/security support. But, you gotta remember this phone is $150(was $129.99 on Motorola the last time it went on sale). Cheap phones are getting really good and Motorola is a great, clean, stock android experience. Their phones are generally good value for the money and they’re dependable devices. Great review!
-
4:40 As long as I can watch Initial D and it looks decent I'm sold.
-
I'm nearly 40 years old and the idea you can get a handheld high performance computer for 150 is still mind blowing. We used to pay several times this for a phone that could only talk and text and was the size of a breeze block.
-
For 200$ you can get a Samsung A15 with an amoled fhd display, 8gb/256gb, and five years of updates
-
Thanks for making this video by the way. Always like seeing what these super budget phones are doing these days. The storage space alone would limit a lot of people I feel but otherwise seems like an ok buy.
-
I really like your delivery on reviews. Very pleasant to listen to.
-
I daily drive a Motorola Edge (2021 model) - 8GB of RAM, 256GB of storage + SD, 5G, 8-core Snapdragon 778G. You can still find them new for ~$250 these days and it still sinks anything I've ever wanted to do with it. I'm done wasting $1000/year when every flagship I've ever bought has been dead within two years anyway.
-
I have 10 ppl on my phone plan and most of them are young adults I am helping get on their feet or out of bad situations. buying a phone outright is the way to go, and giving them one that is serviceable for a reasonable price is awesome. I would love to see some perspective after extended use to see if these opinions change. Thanks for the great review.
-
Well it's like 10x less the cost of a flagship. So i guess just buy a new one when updates stop coming 😅
-
It’s not really the camera but the person using it. Those pictures look sick even though it was shot on a budget phone.
-
these kinds of phones are common in developing countries mostly dominated by chinese brands, even better specs than this for same price like 120 hz oled screen with decent brightness and better processors as well
-
Editing & cinematography is much better than other youtubers seriously hats offf
-
Amazing video, really love this kind of content and comparison.
