    A shame motorola is cutting back features on their low end phones as well. They used to be the only decent manufacturer that offered fm radio. That’s now down to a handful of phones. The jack is gone as well. Expandable storage is also growing ever rarer. Meanwhile their cameras are still shit, their manufacturing quality is down, they don’t even bother with ip ratings. So what’s their selling point? Why would you buy a budget moto nowadays instead of dozens of other, better priced and better equipped alternatives? The gestures?

      At least it has expandable storage. 3.5mm jack is only available on low end Smartphones, Sony smartphones and some rare smartphones like the one released by moondrop with 2 headphone jacks.

    Really cool how even phones in that price range have 120hz screens now, my current phone (Nothing Phone 1) is also in that price range and has a display like that. IPhone users should really be madder at Apple for not putting 120hz screens on the non-pro phones, even though they cost way more than these Android phones.

    Seems like a nice phone but I’m not sure it’s the best option in that price range. No IP rating on a US$380 phone is pretty bad when many of the competitors offer guaranteed resistance or even proofing.
