Motorola's Moto G Stylus 5G (2023) sees notable feature improvements that go toe-to-toe with Samsung and Google's mid-rangers. Its Black Friday price puts it at the top for me.
Bought one for my kid because he’s a little artist. Seems nice. I use a Pixel, but honestly I miss the moto “chop chop to turn on the flashlight” feature from my old Moto.
If you go to Settings -> System -> Gestures, there’s an option for “Quick tap to start actions”, one of the options is to turn on the flashlight when you double tap the back of the phone.
That is not an adequate replacement for chop chop.
The screen needs to be on for the pixel gesture to work. Chop chop can be done with the screen off
Tapping the back of the phone to the beat of music will turn on the flashlight by accident all the time. Chop chop is a very deliberate gesture
Tapping does not always register. Sometimes I need to do it 2 or 3 times to get the flashlight to turn on/off, the moto gestures were almost 100% reliable for me

Nice little feature.
