Surprisingly has both a 3.5 mm Jack and SD slot though update support is not class leading.

    Motorola forced “Live lockscreen” with no possibility of removing. If disabled it reenabled after some time. Only consider motorola if you plan to change OS

      I’ve got the G86 5g. The live lockscreen can be disabled, there’s an option in the settings. You can tell it not to ask again too.

      Mine came back after a system update, but that’s when I found the don’t ask again checkbox, and it hasn’t come back since 👍

        It was on my last phone and at that point there was no way of completely disabling it. It was the main motivator of getting a new after trying but failing to change OS. Im happy that they added a possibility to completely disable it by now

      What’s on the live lockscreen?

      Is that always on display, or is it ad pushing lockscreen bloatware?

      The name alone doesn’t suggest it’s a deal breaker. I do prefer complete use control, and don’t even need a new phone any time soon, but still.

      I like Motorola as a brand, on account of having old flip and candybar phones that were awesome! Hate to hear they may be up to no good in the smartphone business.

        It didnt matter what was in the app for me, it was a notification on my lock screen that said “Activate live lockscreen” that kept activating the screen from dark.

        Reading what other users write about the app its targeted ads.

        Edit: the “live lock screen” seems to be made by Taboola so not even a Motorola authored app
