I have taken out the screws, but there is something between the battery bay and the volume dial that is keeping the bottom cover on, I need help opening it so I can replace the capacitors, you see, it won’t work and so I am blaming it on bad caps, and since I am experienced with soldering, I want to replace the capacitors myself, as this cd player is more than likely long discontinued, the model number is: A5258

As in similar size, headphone jack, expandable storage, NFC, etc.

If they don't, what might be the next best alternative with a similarly light approach to Android (i.e. few company apps, basically vanilla launcher)?

"Today we compare the Razr + and the Samsung Flip!"

The Motorola Moto G14 is built around 6.5" FHD+ display (20:9), which is a pretty major upgrade. And it is a good quality IPS LCD to boot, although it only runs at 60Hz (down from 90Hz on the G13, but that's a trade we're willing to take).

The rest of the phone hasn't changed much. The G14 use a Unisoc T616, a 12nm chipset with 2x Cortex-A75 at 2.0GHz and 6x A55 at 1.8GHz, plus a Mali-G57 MP1. This isn't all that different from the Helio G85, another 12nm chip with the same CPU cores at the same clock speeds, though the Mali-G52 MC2 GPU is different.

The phone is powered by a 5,000mAh battery that promises up to 94 hours of music playback or up to 16 hours of video. It is recharged at up to 15W (using the supplied 20W charger). That's an upgrade over the G13, even if a small one (the older model tops out at 10W, at least the version sold in India does).

Besides the USB-C port, there is a 3.5mm headphone jack with FM radio support. Alternatively, you can use the stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos to listen to music.

Offline entertainment is on the table as well since the triple card slot can hold two SIMs and one microSD (up to 1TB). The phone comes with Android 13 out of the box and there is only one configuration -- 4GB of RAM and 128GB storage.

The camera setup is the same as before with a single cam on the back (and a macro module) with a 50MP Quad Pixel sensor (0.64µm native pixels, 1.28µm after binning). There is also an 8MP selfie camera on the front (1.12µm), both it and the rear camera can record 1080p video at 30fps.

Looking for a new phone and want to pull the trigger on the Moto Edge 2022 but willing to wait if something else is coming out soon. Coming from a moto z3 so even though the Edge 2022 isn't the best it's better than what I've got.

Currently on Verizon but looking to switch to ATT.

Anyone else with this phone? It is my favorite phone I've ever had. Missing 4K recording but has pretty much everything else one would need. Even though only a mono speaker the sound is really good.

Plus takes significantly better photos (OIS on main lenses) then my old Moto G Power 2020 did.

I was playing with a Motorola G72 and noticed this feature by accident: double-tap on the back of the phone to trigger a custom action.

Here is a video showing this feature

This is not the same as double tapping the fingerprint scanner. This phone has a front-facing under-display scanner.

It's very neat and handy, I hope other phones implement this too.
