    My Motorola G7 Power is a good phone. I have had it since 2021 and recently flashed LineageOS on it, and it works like a charm.

      5G causes crazy battery drain and I don’t at all notice a noticeable difference in speed with it with typical cell phone usage. Not sure what I would need to do to actually notice the speed difference. Torrent a file? I have 5G disabled on my phone. Every now and then, I get a text from my cell carrier saying that my phone is 5G capable and I should enable it for better speeds.
