You all are confusing regular G54 5G model withG54 Power model I think. Please properly state which phones you're talking about when discussing specs. The regular G54 does NOT have 33W charging. Mine came with a 20W charger but phone is limited to 12W or 15W if I remember right. Absolutely NFC is important to some people. I have used it regularly the last 2 years of Moto G54 5G ownership. Moto G54 5G did get upgraded to Android 15 and I just received the May 2026 security patch updates. Moto G54 5G does NOT come with a 6000mAh battery - it's 5000.

Very biased against the G34. The G34 has NFC but the 54 does not. The G34 comes with Android 14 The G54 comes with 15w charger The G34 comes with an 18w charger. Very poor reporting

Firstly, the G54 comes with a 33W charger. Secondly, the G54 also has NFC support, but this may not be a major factor for either of the phones because most people don't use NFC. In a few years, Moto G54 will be upgraded to Android 14 and Moto G34 will be on Android 15, although I don't believe that will create a significant difference. Overall, the G54 is a better phone than the G34 because it comes with a 6000 mAh battery, a latest processor, and a good camera, among other features. The G34, however, is also a good choice because it's an under $12000 phone that can somehow compete with the G54. It goes without saying that while G34 is good, G54 is the best.
