I have the Moto G Power and it does lag.
How bad? Has it always lagged or just recently?

You have to deal with the reality that if they don't unlock in 6 months then you basically have a mini tablet or just start Metro PCS service with it. Many here can deal with that as the price of the phone (with service mind you) is pretty cheap.
A user previously posted about an unlock code for the Metro phone for cheap but I sincerely doubt it. I haven't heard of anybody having success in unlocking recent Metro phones unless done via hacking phone with PC.

Good call on the Power deal. That would be my pick if I wanted a phone that is actually usable immediately.
What about the lag you speak of, how bad is it?

When I did my Google fi deal in November, I did a trade-in (apple iPhone 6s for $260 and got couple refs) and I got my Google fi credit on the 2nd month. With this deal, it appears you receive $49 Google fi credit on the 3rd month. Just make sure you keep it active for 60 days to get the $200 off promo... Still a very solid deal....... Get refs to better value the deal. If you don't want to continue, you can pause the service like on the 3rd month and it is prorated. Save your Google fi credit later and maybe for a future phone deal requirement? I ordered a couple data sim cards which are free to add on to your service. I put one in a Hotspot (remember the free t-mobile Hotspot giveaway?) and another data sim in another phone. Data is expensive but use wifi when you can and data sparingly.

With the Google fi Ace deal (paying), it seems to me that you receive the Google fi credit on the 2nd month just like I did in the past purchase in November. With the Google fi Power, it seems on the 3rd month.

I purchased a few Moto G Power 2020 phones (Tracfone, Amazon and Google Fi $49) and one of the Moto G Stylus 2020 (Best Buy). They are great phones. Awesome user interface, solid performance, microSD, pretty good camera (I use gcam) and VERY LOUD dual stereo speakers. Don't be discouraged by the IPS screen because it looks nice. I have over $200 google fi credit but I don't need to buy another Moto phone.
Since you have the Moto G Power 2020 and G Stylus 2020, do you think the Stylus is worth paying $50 more than the Power? I don't think the Stylus feature would be useful for me, but I understand its other pros are 128GB storage (vs 64GB on the Power), 48 megapixel main camera sensor (vs 16 megapixel on the Power), and the action camera lens. But the Power has a 5000 mAh battery (vs 4000 mAh on the Stylus).

I went with the Power on this deal, but interested in hearing your opinion on this.

I have both the Stylus and Power and I prefer the Stylus. The stylus has a better camera, more internal storage, stylus that works well and nice indigo color. The Power has better battery and can shoot ultra wide pictures. The stylus can't take ultra wide pictures but can do ultra wide videos..... If you have no interest in the stylus pen and value awesome battery life, go with the Power especially to save $50. The Power is a better value though. Putting a $20 128GB microSD in a 64GB Power is a must for me... You don't need to add a $20 128GB microSD card into a 128GB Stylus. Something to consider to level out their values.

Stylus is better than the power. The camera is much better and the extra gig of ram and 128gb definitely helps the phone to not lag as much once you install all your apps. The power would hang using Android auto so had to give up on it.

I got the unlocked moto g stylus from best buy and it has 4gb RAM. I looked up Google fi moto g power and it also stated 4GB RAM. I also got the tracfone with 4GB and unlocked from Amazon with 4GB..... All my Power phones have 4GB/64GB.... my Stylus has 4GB/128GB. The moto g play has the 3GB RAM.

I think the 32GB version of Moto G Power has 3GB RAM.

I only see that option with the 2021 model with Amazon as they have 2 options but I believe it is 64GB with 4GB RAM with all other retailers with the 2020 model... Very odd that Motorola would even make a 2021 Moto G Power with only 32GB with 3GB RAM. Waste.

I think you are correct - I can't find a 2020 Power with 3GB. I was probably thinking of the 2021 version.

Ok i may be wrong about the ram I bought the consumer Cellular version from target for $120 ish and had to get rid of it. Main issue was with Android auto even running one app was astrociously slow. I was on my way to buy something from Facebook market place and I couldn't even respond since the messenger froze then gmaps froze. Never had such a terrible experience even with cheaper phones before. Other than that the 2020 G power occasionally lagged switching between apps etc. For some reason the G Stylus seemed to do better. It would lag at times but not as bad as the G power though! That was my experience may be I got a dud on the G power!

You didn't get a dud. I have a couple of Stylus and G Power. They all lag. Though the retail unlock version seems to lag less.

Do you mean that you think the Stylus is a better value, not the Power?

I've always been using a microSD card in my phones for storing pictures/video. I would do so even if I had a 128GB phone. From a bad experience before, I lost all pictures/video on a phone after the phone got wet and couldn't be started up anymore. I think there are more chances to recover data from a memory card than from a phone that goes bad.

On my current 64GB phone, I still have 31GB free. Maybe I'm not a big apps user so I was thinking I didn't really need a 128GB phone.

Do you think the Stylus camera is really that much better? According to some reviews I came across, they didn't seem to think it was that much better. For example, at https://www.androidpolice.com/202...us-review/, it states "The G Stylus has a 48MP primary sensor, and the G Power is just 16MP. Despite that, the difference in photo quality is negligible.".

That all said, I ordered several of the Moto G Power phones for me and others to use, and I'm kind of re-thinking whether I should have ordered the Stylus for myself now. Maybe I will order one on a new account and re-sell the Power.

I did a camera comparison test between my pixel 3a, iPhone SE 2020, moto g stylus, moto g power and moto z2 force..... I was very impressed with the stylus camera. After I traded in my pixel 3a for the Samsung Galaxy A71 5G, I did another comparison test. Even in some shots with bathroom towels, I can see more detail with the towel fibers than the iPhone SE 2020 and Samsung Galaxy A71 5G which has 64mp camera. The iPhone SE 2020 still had the best overall camera of the bunch but the stylus camera is quite impressive. I think color accuracy is better than the power too. You can't go wrong with either but the Stylus camera is definitely better than the Power's camera. Is the camera improvement alone worth the extra $50? Probably not. If you are interested in using the stylus, improved camera, the cool indigo color and getting 128gb storage, I think it is worth the extra..... But you are taking a little hit with battery life. Stylus has 2-3 days battery life.... The Power has 3-4 days. 3 days with normal use and 4 days with light use.. Battery life is insane with the Power and beats the moto z play battery life and I didn't think that could be possible. I laugh when people and reviewers brag about "all day battery life".

It only started lagging recently. When it starts lagging, sometimes the app shuts down by itself.
