I recently picked up a 2024 model moto g power 5g. The main reason is that I needed the cheapest smart phone I could find locally to test a new provider (phreeli) before committing. That, and to serve as a ready backup if one of ours dies. $115 at a big box store.

It's... fine. Even after debloating I get about half the battery life of my galaxy s20 which is now 5 years old. I haven't been able to figure out what's eating it, or maybe it just has a smaller battery... I should check that.
