Just got this phone a few days ago, loving it so far. Its such an upgrade compared to what i had. A lot of games run mostly smooth, and the ui is just so pleasant to navigate

Bought this for my younger daughter and she loves it.. For an early teen this is more than enough.

Have been a Moto man for a long time and my brother just upgraded to the 2023 Moto G Play and it seems like a nice phone but I think I'm going to get the A14 5G just for comparison and since we both upgrade about every 4 years we will see how we both like our phones as the years tick by.

Just to update this I just bought the A14 a couple of days ago and absolutely love it.

It's worth every penny. In the Philippine market, it's a little over 200 USD. But we get 6gb of RAM and 128gb of storage. And a lot of dealers give out a fast charging brick as freebie. It has a large nice screen and fast enough for the usual daily tasks. PLUS, cameras are great for the class! Recommended.

I just bought one and I'm using it for 1 week now, it's a good phone btw its so smooth, took so many hours before it gets a low battery and was not laggy when it comes to online games (i haven't tried it on hard games like cod etc). However, the only problem with it is even though I use a 25w charger it took 2 and a half hour before it gets fully charged

UPDATE: (I've been using A14 for 4 months now)
-I am currently playing COD(about 15gb), Dragon Raja(20+gb), Mobile legends(6? gb) and Wildrift(6?gb), i don't experience any lag at all!!!
- I'm not sure if it's only me, but whenever I take a picture and try to zoom in, my camera appears to be blurry(Whenever I zoom in, the pixels become highly noticeable). Well, that is my only issue with the A14 camera. However, I love how its 50MP capability enhances the quality of the pictures(it becomes clearer and brighter) especially when compared to my dad's Realme camera.

Bought one the other day and been happy with it. Only complaint is for North America, 64GB storage is the only option. But happy with sd card support and appears to be a battery champ.

Just got it the other day on Tracfone and I love it. LASTS ALL DAY. Camera is top notch as my main phone, the iPhone 13 Pro Max. I am happy to have picked this instead of the other choices I had. Great for a secondary device. Do-Able for a main device if need be.

Uk user here. I recently bought this phone. Its great. No complaints. And, i have had 4 days out of 1 charge. Awesome. Totally recommend.

Still love these objective reviews by GSMarena and will prefer them over someone's opinion especially when there is no way to know if they are paid or not.

[MomOfThree]

I got this phone its kinda thick and heavy. But overall its smooth and the camera is superb❤

[frogskinshoelace]

Just got one...honestly this is all i could ever need. I cant imagine spending 1100 bucks on a phone. I feel like the average person wont feel the $900 difference

[NewportBoxs]

It’s only 40 bucks on Metro and you get a whole month of service, too. I’m tempted to get it at that price just to have the device.

[jdLPdef]

short, compact, everything I needed to know. thanks man

[Matty_B]

Got one yesterday, and I love it. Of course, I'm coming from a Nuu B20. I'm disabled, so I don't have the luxury of a flagship right now. My old bank paid out a class-action lawsuit. Mine is 128gb, with a 512gb SD card in it. One UI is different coming from barebones Android. But, I quickly got the hang of it. The camera/video recorder was a huge step up.

[joepangit]

Thanks for the good review. My 15 year old daughter finally smashed the old 2021 Moto G Power she was still happy with. I'm upgrading her to this with a 256G SD card in it. She's not much of a snob, but I did add a nice case of her favorite color. You forgot to mention it has NFC which can be rare in a cheap phone.

[sharonpoole]

I like your voice you sound so professional and it made me want to listen you about the phone.

[jesusreyes]

I had my s14 5g couples day go it works excellent special the battery love it 😊

[johnnydoe]

It has Higher Refresh Rate than an
iPhone 14 & Costs 1/6th the Price. 😂

[randomtech]

Good to see 1080p with dynamic refresh rate on budget phone

[shopece]

Just ordered it for pickup later on today! I hope I like it because it's going to be my main phone until at least the summer of 2025 lol. x-D
