Updated to the Moto G 5G (from India) from the Moto G7 power. Here are my thoughts -

I'm using it in North America.

The main reason I got it was I wanted a big battery and a clean UI. The moto gestures were also quite compelling (shake to open flashlight). Otherwise Samgung M51 also seemed like compelling buy but in the end since I have been a Moto customer and realling value the clean UI, I went to the G.

Camera seems super nice compared to my previous phone. If someone's interested I could post photo and video samples in the conditions they like.

Will companies still make pop-up cameras or have they died out?

Looking back in the past 2-3 years, it seens the hole-punch quickly became the standard for front-facing cameras on android. As someone who doesn't really takes selfies i was really happy to buy the K20 back in 2019, it sucks to see that this might be my first and last pop-up camera phone.

Am i the minority or do other people also wished more phones with pop-up cameras came out in the future?...

Volume resetting (future suggestion)

It has happened to all of us. Let's say you wanna watch a video but the audio is poor. So you have to max the volume to be clear. You finish watching the video and you forget to turn down the volume. Later you wanna listen to some music but you don't remember the volume is still on 100%. You play the track and it's sooo loud that scares you out. So, what if there was feature were it would reset to a lower volume (40% or 50%) if there was some time of speaker inactivity ? (Of course the current v...

Why do we care about phones including chargers?

Today android phones all use USB-C, some still use USB-micro B but they're dying. We all have USB-C cables. We all have a dozen charger bricks lying around, and many people have those multi-port chargers. No phone uses those annoying proprietary chargers from back in the olden days.

So why are some people upset manufacturers aren't including chargers in the boxes? I have half a dozen chargers from phones that have never been used because I kept using the ones I had, the cable in my car, my Pixe...
