Motorola Moto G 5G (2023) - Hands On & First Impressions!

Love my Moto 5g 2023. Got it for 40$ for switching my number over to Cricket, and took the phone, not knowing what to expect. It has surprised my so many times that sometimes I forget that im using a mid level phone. Have had some nice phones and this one ranks near the top of my favorites list. A very nice and reasonably priced phone.

Can this phone work in Hong Kong ? Most carriers there use 4G 1800,, 2600, 900, some 2300. 5G 2100, 3500, 4700

720 not amoled display 😂😂😂😂😂😂

720p is crazy

This phone is trash I just bought it not even 3 months ago and it's constantly crashing stick with your dignity and get a Samsung. MY GOODNESS THIS PHONE IS FUCKING TRASH

Is it just me or does it look thinner?

To anyone trying to get those types of phones those are trash better get a Samsung Galaxy or iPhone we bought two for me and my wife and after time they stop working as it should also the charger port its gets messed up super early,not wireless charge its a trash honestly camera its not that good also but yeah y'all get another one not this shitty ass phone

Man no Nfc, aggravating.

I am pro-bezel. Why are you against it?

My love for moto started at motto x I live this model now

I spent $500 on my Samsung Galaxy A52 5G a couple of years ago and it has a 120 hertz refresh rate. Maybe 3 years ago or more you needed to spend $1,000 on a flagship phone for 120 hertz refresh rate but not in the last couple of years.
My friend just bought this Moto G 5G so I was curious to learn more about it.
Seems pretty basic overall but it's not too bad however I still prefer my Samsung Galaxy A52 5G personally.
Keep up the good work. 👍
Your videos are always informative.

Who in their right mind who create a time logo/display like that. I just got this phone, it's SOOO not user-friendly.
The damn phone ringer is as loud as it goes and if I were on the street there's no way I would hear it. I can't even hear it from the next room.

What is 720p?

I've had mine for a couple days. Not sure why it takes HOURS to charge.

How does this compare to the G stylus 2023? What are the differences?

DOES THIS PHONE HAVE SCREEN MIRRORING OR SCREEN CAST FEATURE?

You know, because of how BAD moto is at naming their phones. ALL their line are so close in name, it makes looking up videos a nightmare its impossible to get what i want. Looking up gaming videos for each one is impossible

Thank's man. I just got the phone and didn't look it up before. It's nice to hear that I picked up a good one. Great review 🙂

Just switched carriers and got 2 a14 and 1 moto for free.

So I just got this phone Kevin and I'm having a real hard time trying to get like apps are on there I just need like I'm just lost

Thank you Soo much, this was VERY informational.

It the same shit that u get with the motto 2022

Watch this on my Motorola 5g

Looks more premium than the 2022 model. The 2022 feels so cheap to me. I might have to pick this up for cheap at Cricket..

this phone takes forever to charge and will loose battery fast , and it's a glitchy piece of crap , and you can't use it when it's charging because I'll loose battery this phone's a 4/10

Is it stock android? And whats up with bloatware?

Whats chweny chweny? U mean 2020?

This a nice phone

Bruh is actually a moto g53 5g in america

It's not 2023, I am currently using the moto g 5g and It was shipped to me by ups last year

It's a decent phone I got 1 on for 10 dollars on boost mobile

This phone is a steal if you use google fi. $50 with their instant rebate.

Would love to see a comparison to the moto g stylus 5g 2023

Yo Kevin would you sell that one you have?

These model names are confusing, lol.

I thought this has the snapdragon 6 Gen 1 with 6GB of ram. Not the 480 with 4GB.

moto is a nice phone the problem with it is the support and updates

Motorola made a pretty good improvement compared to the last generation.

It's available on Google fi for 50 bucks

I don't know why these companies not providing a charger this is BS

I’d rather take 1080p at 60 FPS then 720p at 120 FPS. And I’d take NFC over that macro camera.

The display should have been FHD like G Power 5G
It's only $50 more

Let's have a Nord N30 review.

I'm glad it doesn't use a MediaTek chip. A 5MP ultrawide and a 90hz 1080p screen would've been nice additions though.

Nice seeing a 3.5mm jack and a SD slot still in 2023. The phone is about $50 bucks too much for the CPU performance and amount of RAM compared to my 9S bought a few years ago. Might be worth it if it has USB 3 and video out so it could also be an Android desktop with Ready For or like app.
The CPU should be good enough to emulate a few Game Cube games using Dolphin.

I have a Redmi Note 9S ($250 back shortly after launch) with the SD 720G with 6/128GB RAM/ROM and just got a Moto G100 with the SD 870 with 8/128GB RAM/ROM. Looks like the SD 480 is just a point or 2 tad below the 720G and about half that the 870.
I have issues with my Moto G100 where you can't disable raise to wake and prefer to wake only when pressing the power button. I also can't swap the back and recents buttons as there's, again, no option in there flavor of Android 12.

One 5G ACE successor .?

I'm excited to see more about this
