Way better in my opinion. Had many of both Motorola and Samsungs (Power, Plays, A15 A16 ect) in this price range and the Samsungs run way smoother even though in many cases the specs on paper are better on the Rolas.

Great deal for a backup phone, kept in drawer... There, in event your primary is lost, stolen, broken. At the end of the year, eBay the unlocked A16 for what you paid for it, or a couple dollars more.

BTW... I've read that the A16 gets 6 years of OS updates from Samsung.

Two questions.
1. I have a Moto G with an expired 1yr plan from last year. Can I buy this and use the old number?
2. Can I buy this and use the SIM card in an unlocked old iPhone?
I have an expired plan and am wondering the same thing... The options at tracfone.com to reestablish the number are much more expensive...

Speaking as a phone rep those moto gs are dog crap.Even the newest one is we sell(2025) is junk. The batteries are nice and their ui gestures are cool. But I pick a used a16 over a new moto g 2025. Idk about the 2026 I haven't been hands on with one yet but I'm not optimistic. 3 finger screen shots and shaking to turn on your flashlight are cool though can't understate that lol
Motos are the best value phones. But you should go with the better Stylus model over the G Power. My 2022 Moto G Stylus 5g is still going strong. If you look at the specs between the 2025 Moto G Stylus 5g and A16 the Stylus is superior in almost every way except software/security updates. Personally the A16's 4 GB RAM is a non-starter. You really going to be using a 4 GB RAM phone for the next 6 years?

The Amazon listing is confusing but this phone starts at 128GB storage and the ram should be 8gb. If anything you can always return it. I ordered one.
Like they keep telling you, It's 4 gb RAM.
You're not getting 8gb ram in these phones, at these prices
That said, the 4 gb RAM is usable for the price.
Btw you can always double check features by typing in the query in the Rufus question box. If you put in "ram" it answers back 4gb and also lists relevant customer reviews, if available.

1. If I activate this phone and put the Sim card in a different phone, would it work?

2. If it does work, will they still unlock this phone after 1 year of service on the other phone?

4gb ram is useable for low end users who just needs the basic needs of a phone.

Most people don't use Cell Phomes for gaming! 4GB is more than enough RAM even on a 5G phone, and enough RAM for the cameras!

Yeah it's 4GB. I think you would have to import the 8GB version.

It's sufficient

It's not just gaming. Even browsing the web or just navigating your phone can be sluggish on 4 GB RAM. The minimum one should buy should be at least 6 GB but 8 GB are common now too, like Moto's G Stylus, so there's no reason to settle for 4 GB.

IMO motorola Deal is better, Moto G Power 2024 is 3 times faster than this laggy phone, the only cons will be won't get the lastest Android anymore, but that will make this phone just even slower.

And within 12 months, it will be 12GB! If you're spending that amount of time surfing, then you will need a psychologist, not more RAM! Seriously, get a real life and smell the roses!

Got same Moto G Stylus 5G 2021 $35 QVC deal in 2023 sold it to my mom after it unlocked she been using it since end of 2023 without any problems with different MVNO and $6 case and screen protector from amazon.
You charged your mom for sales taxes, I hope. Being a good son as you are, I am sure you charged her for the sales tax!
