Moto G Power (2021) - Pros and Cons! By Kevin Breeze

Hey everybody- this is Andre here covering for Kevin on the Kevin breeze channel and in this video we're going to be going over some pros and cons of the 2021 version of the Motorola Moto G power. Let's get started, so the first pro for this phone is that it has a very large battery. This phone has a 5 000 William hour battery that supports 15 watt fast charging. Now this is definitely impressive: you're really not going to get much bigger than a 5000 William hour battery and being able to use 15 watt fast. Charging your, really not gonna, have a big problem when it comes to battery life. This phone's going to have the battery power to last a really long time without being charged, and when you do charge it, you can charge it even faster.

Now. The first con of this phone is that it has no ultra-wide camera. This is definitely a disappointment, since it has a bunch of other camera features too. This phone has a 48, megapixel, rear camera, a 2, megapixel depth, sensing camera and a 2 megapixel macro camera, and especially considering that its predecessor did have an ultra-wide camera. I really don't know why, with all these other camera features, they took that one off, especially considering that out of all the ones that it does have they're really not as common or frequently used as an ultra-wide camera.

So really, I see no logical reason why they would take off the ultra-wide camera on the newer model of this phone, especially considering that most of the competitors in this price range are bound to have an ultra-wide camera. Unfortunately, that's how this phone is and if you're looking for a phone that has an ultra-wide camera, then you'll definitely want to look at other devices now. The next pro for this phone is the fingerprint scanner. Most phones have a fingerprint scanner either here on the display or in the back somewhere or in the case of the iPhone. They don't have one at all, but this phone doesn't have any of those.

This phone has a fingerprint scanner right on the power button itself, which I think is just great. Naturally, when you're unlocking your phone, whether you need to or not you're, most likely going to be touching the power button in some form and to have a fingerprint scanner on the power button. Now, once you do press that power button, whether it's on purpose or out of impulse, you don't need to do anything else, because the phone's just automatically going to be unlocked now. The only other way that might be faster is, if you have some sort of face unlock, then you might be able to tap the screen and instantly unlock it then, but even in that situation, you're still not going to be able to do that, while the phone is in your pocket and no matter what you're going to have to touch the phone in some way to unlock it these days, I've always thought it would be cool in the future. If phones had some sort of voice unlock where it would recognize your voice, and you could be like hey phone unlock, and it would just unlock for you, but right now that technology doesn't even exist in any phone at all that I've heard of so really.

This is the next best thing and to give you an idea of how fast this is right. Now the phone is completely locked, and I just unlocked it. I don't think there's any fingerprint scanner position that can really beat this. The in display ones are really cool and the ones on the back are not bad either. But really, in my opinion, you really can't beat a fingerprint scanner on the actual power button, and I wish that more phones would do it like this now.

The next con for this phone is that it has no NFC. No NFC is the technology used for Google Pay, and I personally use that feature a lot. It's a really easy, convenient way to make payments, and now that it's being accepted in more and more places and more and more phones, even entry and mid-level ones, are starting to get the technology to use it. I really would have liked to see it on this phone and is becoming more widely available. It's not even usable on this phone because it doesn't have NFC.

It would have been nice to see, but unfortunately it just doesn't have it now. Another pro for this phone is its display. This phone has a 6.6 inch, IPS lcd, with a resolution of 720p, a PPI of 266, an aspect ratio of 20x9 and a screen to body ratio of 83.8 percent so being 6.6 inches. This screen is definitely on the larger side and that's great for something like content consumption. Right now I do have the brightness at 100, and I would say it looks perfect and with a high quality, bright screen, combined with its size and the small bezels, it's really going to be ideal for consuming content or doing things like playing games.

Another con for this phone is that, with the 2021 version of the Motorola Moto G power, it's no longer able to shoot in 4k video. Now that's very disappointing because its predecessor could shoot 4k videos. This one is limited to 1080p in both the rear and front cameras. Now it's nice that it has the same quality in the front camera as it does in the rear camera. I will give it that, but since its predecessor could shoot in 4k, I would expect the same from this phone, and I'm not sure why they went backwards, but it is pretty disappointing, especially if one of your main uses of your device is shooting videos.

This is definitely going to be a drawback and either way I really don't see why a phone would be going backwards as far as the features go with its newer models now pro for this phone is a clean software. That's well optimized! I really do think the software on this phone is tried and true, it's very easy to use really intuitive, even if you're not accustomed to using android per se. I did previously do a video about tips. Tricks and hidden features for this phone and, as you could see from that video, there are a lot of really neat features in this phone that really aren't very hard to activate and figure out how to use. So I am really impressed by how user-friendly it is now another con for this phone is its storage.

Now this phone starts out at 32 gigabytes of internal storage with micros expansion, and it starts out at three gigabytes of ram for the memory now. I honestly don't think this is very impressive at all, especially considering a lot of the competitors have a lot more than this. Now. That being said, you can get the variant of this phone that has 64 gigabytes of internal storage and four gigabytes of ram for the memory, but at the same time that's still really just decent compared to the lower model that, in my opinion, just isn't enough period. I really do think 64 gigabytes is a bare minimum.

These days for internal storage, I always say whether you think you need it or not. You should always have more storage than you need, because it's better to have it and not need it than it is to need it and not have it, and in this case really starting out at 32 gigabytes of storage. I really think it should start out at 64 gigabytes of storage. At least there are lots of phones close to this price range, especially that of the 64 gigabyte variant of this phone that have a whole 128 gigabytes of internal storage, and I think that is a lot more acceptable to give you an idea of what this looks like. I have everything that's used on a daily basis, downloaded onto this phone, and it's taking up 60 of the internal storage.

A lot of that is from the system which you can't really control. So just thinking about that, it is crazy to me to think that you're only going to be able to use a few gigabytes of the storage on this phone, no matter what, until you start using up this much storage, if you're doing something like taking photos, shooting videos playing games or using any larger app in general. That takes up a lot of storage or even a decent amount. You're really going to run into some trouble, with the 32 gigabyte variant and even with the 64 gigabyte variant, just the system alone in a couple apps taking up, say 30 of the memory if it were 64 gigabytes instead of 32, just really isn't ideal for me, whereas even other closely related Motorola phones like the 2021 model of the Motorola Moto G stylus, for example, that one has 128 gigabytes of internal storage, and it's really in a similar price point to the 64 gigabyte version of this phone for double the storage. It just really doesn't make sense to me why they couldn't have just kept it consistent with a good 128 gigabytes.

I think that would have been a lot better now. The final pro for this phone is that it does have a three and a half millimeter headphone jack. The reason I say this is more and more manufacturers. These days are doing away with headphone jacks, even on the more entry level to mid-range phones, we're still seeing those slowly starting to disappear. So it's really nice to see that this one still has one sure wireless headphones and speakers are becoming more popular, but it's nice to have the option to use a good old-fashioned pair of three and a half millimeter wired headphones.

If you want now. The final con for this phone is the resolution of the display, even though it does have a larger display. That's pretty good for content consumption. The resolution's been downgraded because its predecessor had a resolution of 1080p and this phone only has a resolution of 720p. Now that's definitely going to make a difference once you get into things like gaming, where the graphics and all of that really do matter a lot and even though having a larger display is good for content.

Consumption having the lower resolution again doesn't make a lot of sense because it is a downgrade from its predecessor. I would expect the 2021 model of a phone to have better specs than the 2020 model of it, but unfortunately that's just not how it is with this phone. So that is a bit of a disappointment, but I hope you guys enjoyed this video of pros and cons for the 2021 version of the Motorola Moto G power.
