With so many apps these days, 32GB and 3GB RAM just isn't enough anymore.

I find myself deleting unused apps, old videos, and pics to make more room.

Waiting for the new MOTO G Power with Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 chipset, 4GB of RAM and 64GB to go on sale.

I would buy it if it could be unlocked for less than 10 dollars and good for tmobile or other gsm. The specs are good

And now a few hours later they have more.

Can't you just pop a SD card in?

So I have a question on these phones locked to a carrier like TW.
If I have another phone which I BYOD to TotalWireless...and I activate the SIM in this new moto phone that is "locked", but then I move that SIM into my other phone and continue to use my other phone for a year, will TW know the difference? And, at the end of the year I will have an unlocked moto?

It sounds kind of silly, like why bother...but if I want to use my Pixel 3 on TW for a year and also get another phone for cheap sound like it might be worth it. I don't know if this moto deal is the best one to do it on, but just wondering about the general concept.

thx.

I use the cricket version of the moto G7 power and 3gb ram is fine. i can keep 5 or 6 apps running at once no issues. just manually close some apps down when you get too many. 0 issues after 1yr

Yes

With this particular device (I own one from a previous deal), you can go into Settings and format an inserted microSD card as internal storage using a feature called "Android Adoptable Storage".

The phone then "sees" the microSD and built-in storage together as a single unified "block" of usable storage that you can install more apps onto than you normally would having only the built-in storage of the phone by itself. A U3 rated microSD card is ideal (instead of a U1 rated card).

EDIT: Here's a U3 rated 64GB SanDisk microSD card for only $13.99 on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FCMBLV6

Screenshot below (using a spare16GB SanDisk card as an example):

All in how you use it, lots of people don't download videos & use online storage for photos, etc. I have TF version of this (was $80 with yr of service on HSN several months ago) as well as a TF Moto G Power (incredible Amz deal at $55 a few weeks ago) & prefer size of this one.
Both work well.

Thanks OP! I've been looking for a deal on a Total Wireless phone. My other half manages to break his phone at least once a year, so the price is right.

Depends on your account and what CS rep you get if you run into any issues. You will have to request an unlock at some point, it doesnt happen magically, But if you have service for 12+ months and request one, they shouldnt give you any issues.

Also AFAIK All Tracfone owned companies offer a unlock free once every 12 months.
