The fact that a $149 phone has 90Hz but two particular $800/$900 flagships still have 60Hz

150$ entry-level phone: headphone jack, expandable storage, charger included.

Meanwhile, 1500$ flagships... 💀

1:32 "back in 2015"...
..
..
"Almost a decade ago"


At "back in 2015" i was like, "that was a couple of years ago"

And them he drops "almost a decade ago" man, that hit different.

I got the previous version of this phone for my youngest daughter and it's a trooper. Eventually she dropped the phone and the screen broke. I found the replacement part for $15 at Aliexpress and replaced the screen myself following the same steps shown here albeit in a little less destructive fashion. The phone still works. Well done, Motorola.

1:13 Funny how a $149 phone has scratches at a level 6 while the $3, 500 Vision Pro scratches at level 3 😂

Motorola is criminally underrated. I've been using the Edge 30 pro for almost a year and a half now, not a single issue with it. I'm not really a camera person, but even when I use it to record upto 8K video it has never failed me. I have been recommending motorola's in my family for everyone that wants a mid-range device. No bloatware, near stock android with their own actual useful goodies built-in.

When times were tough I bought a cheap Moto G4 just to keep me connected. I ended up loving it and returning to Motorola for years. Cheap phones just keep getting better

[parthisanjay]

Actually this particular model is launched in INDIA as Moto g34 with 120hz display, Snapdragon 695 5g, Vegan leather back, 5000mAh, Dolby Atmos Stereo speakers, 4x4 MIMO for just $132 dollars only

"a headphone jack"

Smashes left arrow key to hear that again... Seriously, wow. Nice job Motorola.

[abdouramanediallo]

One of my Motorola lasted 7 years. Super durable phones..

7:38 " financially intelligent" best phrase

[GFourGadget]

For that I quote MKBHD "Cheap phones are getting good, and good phones are.." ignore the second part. For a phone that costs as much as a pair of airpods, I would say it handles itself quite well. Thumbs up Moto!

[shadesXL]

Glad to finally see you start doing a budget phone. Flagships and only the high end mid-rangers ever got any attention

[sylvain]

I have a Moto G Pure 2021 with Android 12, I love this phone so much, I love the option of multi-volume control, you can listen music and a video at the same time and control the volume of each separately, I will always buy Motorola for that and as long as they keep the audio jack 3.5mm.

Even when cheap, I hate it when people are damaging new goods to see if it can break. 😮

[danilopatrial]

US$149 smartphone does better in the bend test than the iPhone 15 lol

Edit #2: Spoiler alert! Don't read on! You've been warned.

It's crazy that this 150 dollar phone is over here surviving when 1500 dollar phones can't.

Edit: If you're worried about spoilers -- WHY ARE YOU IN THE COMMENTS?

[Michi-goxi]

I'm happy you covered this phone :) flagships are not everything... It's wonderful to see that cheaper phones also have quality!

[sweebos]

Gone back to Motorola phones in the last 5-6 years.
Been loving their quality, functionality, and resilience for the price.
Excellent phones in my opinion.

OK I've recently moved over from a lifelong (I'm 35) apple guy, to the Samsung fold 5 and I'm never ever touching an apple product ever again. But damn, I got to say this phone is cheap as chips, and if that camera is actually as good as it claims, its camera is as good as myn £1800 samsung lol and its surprisingly durable you have to agee. Really pleasant to see that
