I just bought a Motorola Moto G73 for $180, was 50% off as precious gen phones often are once the new comes out.
I got a Samsung S21 as my daily driver, but just wanted to check out a non-Samsung one over time.
So far I've been very impressed. It comes with Google apps for almost everything, the Moto specific stuff seems to be addons you can easily ignore.
Even came with a transparent protective case and audio jack.
Performance-wise I don't notice any difference in normal use, ie surfing, pictures and such. I don't play games though, there the S21 would blow it out of the water according to benchmarks.
Screen isn't quite as good, but close enough that I'd be happy with it as a primary phone.
Only thing that's a bit of a downer is they only do 3 years of security upgrades it seems. This is a bit short I feel.
Haven't tried any of the other brands over time in recent years, just adding my 2 cents.
