All the Oneplus phones, which are sold in North America (ship out of the US), are dual sim. One of the reasons I went with Oneplus in the first place.

Not that I saw. I probably should have created one.

If I never intend to use the pen, am I giving up anything getting a phone that has a pen?

For sure this phone will be updated to Android 11, if it hasn't already been. My $99 Costco Moto G fast got the Android 11 update.

This is actually a pretty good deal if someone wants a decent budget phone, and missed the bunch of BH Photo deals on the Pixel 3 and 3XL. Amazon.ca will have a good easy return policy too.

Myself and others would appreciate if you could provide the Costco Item # (from your receipt) so we can call and check local pricing / stock. This phone won't be listed on the website anymore. Thanks.

Definitely the 4a since that one comes with android 11

Moto G stylus also has an Android 11 update.

4a should have a much better camera. 4a is at least double this price.

How are these even being compared? A new pixel 4a is nearly $500.

Might check this out if it's on clearance at my Local Costco.

The Moto G Power (2020) has been out of stock at Costco.ca since last month, and is gone from the web site. It didn't drop below $259 (I was watching it daily at the time). You'd have to be very lucky to still find one on in-store clearance.

The item number was ‌2233703‌.

Big thanks!

Just an FYI, lots of comments online about lost/dropped connection and having to restart the phone to reconnect.

Nice find, OP! This is like a poor man's Samsung Note. For the price, some very big corners must be cut. With a built-in stylus storage, it's going to compromise battery capacity for sure since that extra battery space is now occupied by a stylus.

This phone reminds me of an old pre-Android Motorola phone my cousin had with a built-in stylus like this. Can't remember what model number it was, but it looked cool and futuristic like a mini tricorder. I remembered it had a clear dark flip cover that has the earpiece and the main body is white.

Active stylus generally requires more engineering and software to make it work like the Samsung Note or Apple Pencil. If Motorola can offer an active stylus phone at this price, I'd like to know what is their secret!

Great phone, good build quality, with 4GB RAM, it's highly usable.

Well done, OP.

Mensch.

Motorola seems to have an obsession with making phones without NFC

Fail again Motorola, fail again.

Why is this a deal breaker?

If you use your phone to pay instead of tapping your card, you look ridiculous. Yeah, I said it. I cringe at people doing this the same way I cringe at people using cash.

Huh? I agree with the cringe of paying with your phone, but cash? Cash is King!
If there's ever a widespread power outage, you will be sorry when the technology suddenly fails, and you have to look in the couch cushions to buy a pack of Doritos.

Earlier this summer, Bell's POS system failed here. The look on people's faces at the checkouts with carts full of groceries was amusing. I just pulled out my cringey cash and paid that way.

I use my phone to pay all the time, it's great. However, I always have my CCs and cash with me at all times for backup. In addition, there are still places that only take cash.

For me, I cringe at people who use cash or those who insert their CC and key in their PIN (when they can tap & go which is much more efficient).

Seen quite a few comments about this as well... Hopefully this won't be an issue after 30 day return window expires. Otherwise, for 128 GB storage, this is a good deal.
