Storage aside, AFAIK these are some additional advantages of Moto G Power 5G (2023) one Moto G Play 4G (2024):
- Much faster Dimensity 930 chip compared to the Snapdragon 680 in the Moto g Play 2024, so performance and responsiveness are noticeably better.
- Higher-resolution 1080p display with 120 Hz refresh rate, while the Moto g Play 2024 has a 720p display at 90 Hz, so text and video look sharper and scrolling is smoother on the G Power.
- 5G connectivity versus 4G-only on the Moto g Play 2024, which is better.

The 2024 g POWER is another alternative and has almost the same features, but limited to Android 15 (should not be a problem for most people - lots of older devices on the market so apps are compatible with multiple older generations of Android).
Avoid 2023/2024 g (without POWER/STYLUS) or g PLAY unless almost free. They are year+ lower-end models.

NFC - No
But remember, Lenovo own Motorola smartphone brand, phones are full of bloatware.
Need to turn off many Moto apps but 2 you can't - "Glance" and "Digital Wellbeing", so annoying.

Remember, these phones WILL fall apart after 2-4 years -- it's literally how the term "planned obsolescence" was coined, regarding smartphones. Why spend MANY hundreds of dollars for the same core functionality that at $50 can provide? You'll be perfectly fine with a device that has 128gb of storage (or microSD equivalent) and a 5G radio.
As for the argument "but you cannot do anything on basic phones" -- mine works just fine. Calendar, to-do notes, calculator, basic web browsing, phone, texts, weather, SatNav, camera, etc. Works perfectly fine.
Just keep in mind, the more you spend on the device -- the more you load onto it -- the more you have to lose. It's a delicate piece of glass that you take everywhere with you, often 5ft+ off the ground, and it's a target for thieves and law enforcement. The LESS you put onto it, the less you have to worry about. Do your medical and banking AT HOME on your LAPTOP/DESKTOP. It's much safer that way. But explaining risk manglement and attack surfaces to someone who doom scrolls for a dopamine hit is a futile gesture.
