Of all the phones that I’ve owned, over past 25 years, this one is head-and-shoulders above all the rest!!Pros:1. BATTERY LIFE… Motorola advertises 2 days runtime on a full charge, but my experience has consistently been that I get over 7 days of normal use on a charge, and I usually recharge when I get below 30%.[User hint: I’ve actually found that I get *lower* discharge rate if I leave Wifi ON !! I know it doesn’t seem logical, but it is quite repeatable… with wifi off, the phone discharges at about 0.5%/hour (12%/day); with wifi ON, it is about 0.36%/hour (8.6%/day) … That’s the difference between 6 days and 8 days between charges. I can’t explain it, but it is definitely true! ]In the past, I focused on phones with removable batteries, so I could install larger after-market batteries to extend my run-time; the 10,000mAh battery in my LG V20 gave me about 9 days between charges, before that phone stopped working… that is comparable with what I get with the 5G’s built-in 5000mAh battery.2. Pre-installed apps – this has been an on-going curse, especially with the miserable Samsung phones… My Moto G came with virtually *nothing* unwanted on it, and even the unwanted things that *were* installed (YouTube… and a couple others that I don’t recall), I was actually permitted to uninstall, with no arguments!! So there is no leftover garbage, pestering me to update… I am *ETERNALLY* grateful to Motorola for letting me remove what I don’t want!!!3. voice reception is excellent… among the best that I’ve experienced, as good as any Samsung phone that I’ve used.4. Visuals (what the phone itself looks like) – not the most important issue, but the phone really *is* beautiful to look at!! I’ve never actually cared about that with any previous phone.Cons: [there really isn’t much here]1. signal reception in remote locations… it is not quite as good at picking up weak signals as my Galaxy S5 was, but most other phones weren’t superb with that either… it was one reason that I hung onto the S5 as long as I did… when I’m hiking in Sunol R.W. (Cal.), 10 miles outside the city, I rarely can pick up a signal, even from mountain tops… that’s a bit disappointing, but as I said, typical of many other phones/services. I was hoping the 5G phone would be more sensitive.2. screen resolution: 1080×2400 is rather low-end for a modern phone, but truth is, the phone looks great; even tiny text is readable, and icons are quite clear, so it’s not that important to me…

I got this phone as a “work phone” since I didn’t want the company apps on my iphone 11 pro max.I must say it’s been a great phone.-Battery life is great.-Screen is big and has decent quality.-headphone jack is amazing-decent power for such a well priced phone-screen has very good reaction to input.-decent speeds-no issues with network connection.. infact I get better service with this than the iphone SE I was using before.There are some cons.. I mean it’s a phone under $200 what did you expect?-Camera isn’t great, but it works for what I use it for.-Screen under direct sunlight can be challenging to see, but not impossible.-idk if it’s a Motorola thing but you can’t control all the volumes with the side buttons.. you have to manually adjust texts, calls, and alarms separately. the volume button only adjust media sound levels like a video you are watching or a games volume. But you have a quick access button to this menu when you click the side buttons.-Although there is minimum bloat ware. The Motorola apps can be abrasive..you are going to have to adjust some setting.-single speaker is a big buzz kill. But having the headphone jack makes up for it.- not being water resistant you are going to want a case and screen protector which isn’t all bad because the cases and screen protectors are dirt cheap.Does everything I need it to do with out issue.If you are looking for a cheap phone with decent power, and tired of Samsung and apples BS. I highly recommend taking a shot on this phone.

The phone itself is fine. Besides the newer Android that forces you to have Facebook, Tiktok, Snapchat and all that BS apps, the phone is quite fast and battery life should be phenomenal. From unboxing with 25% battery it lasts until the next day. But beware if you buy it for Visible. I ordered this phone for Visible and it was delivered on Aug 24, 2023. IMEI checker said it will work with Visible. And the phone works for usual browsing, phoning etc. EXCEPT Hotspot, Tethering and Wifi Calling. It took me multiple chat sessions, factory resets, network resets, facebook chat, chat again then back to facebook chat and on Aug 26th, after 4 days wasting my time, Visible finally sent me email saying ‘the phone no longer compatible with their network’. Suddenly Visible IMEI checker says the IMEI is incompatible with our network. That is how sneaky they are.

This may be a two-year old model, but it performs well. I can’t compare it to a flagship phone, as I never used one. I can compare it to my Moto G7 that was 4G only. The difference in speed is definitely a pleasure. Set up was a breeze. I simply told Google to set it up the same as my now-waterlogged G7. Within minutes, all my apps and settings were done. I had the option to tether it to my old phone for an even easier setup; however, since the older phone was toast, that was no longer an option. Battery life is in a whole different league compared to what I had. I will easily get two days from a charge vs. almost one. I found only a couple instances of bloatware that I was able to remove without hassle. I remain a happy Moto user.

First of all I am a “retired” telecom engineer + I owned one of the original Moto StarTech filp phone. It helped that I was working for them at the time.. now 20+ years later I am looking for a nice android phone because I need service in Central America and the locked up iPhone is not making the grade.. So I looked and felt this would do the trick. Oh yes it has BLOAT from Moto, some I can remove, some not.. That said I have had it in Roam mode for days, and guess what; it works great on wifi calls and text AND the battery will go for 4 days before I charge it at 25%. Yes I wish I could trim out the BLOAT but that is so far the only down side to this phone.

First of all my issues with this phone may not be yours and you could love it. I am just tired of the most basic needs being so over engineered you have to go to YouTube to get lessons. I have had this phone for a while so these are not “first impressions” after unboxing.Pros: (1)The green is gorgeous. Still too dark but really pretty and the finish fantastic; (2) Clarity of calls is great when it doesn’t drop you but that could also be the carrier; (3) video phone option is right there as an offer, however, adding people and connecting is a series of steps making it also one of my biggest cons. It moves in the right direction; (3) I think the battery life is good; (4) doesn’t overheat like others; (5) good amount of memory; (6) camera quality is good and so is video for the phone; (7) I have not used the stylus much but when I do, I really like it. just the right amount of pressure. some you have really press. not with this. I think it is pretty good.cons: there are less cons than pros but really nerve racking. (1) adding and editing contact is not good. especially the editing or just viewing it once you’ve added. i do keep emails and multiple phone numbers for some people, can’t even get to it. It is a reason why I will never buy this phone again. I have several; You have to scroll thru the list and tap. you can’t search on the name and have an option. it just forces you to call. (2) I use the flashlight. It is not just a shake. my goodness you have really give it a heave to turn on and off. (3) getting rid of the notifications. I just turned them off. to scroll up to press clear is a mess. it is as if they want to force you to read them all. the default is on so you may want to adjust setting to turn off and select the ones you want on. (4) like many phones, the screen goes black when you are talking. It is an act of god to get the screen back and hang up. the same if you tap on an app or look up something while talking. to get back to the phone screen is a juggle. should have the phone icon easily assessible to tap and go back into the call app.stop with the shakes, swipes, tilt, swivel overengineering and sometimes just have the option icon availble as well.

Putting the protector on the screen is actually a pretty easy process and it goes smoothly, but the thing I find very odd is that after the second day, I had noticed a crack already in the screen protector and I never hit my phone of anything during that time nor dropped it nor did something to even cause the screen to do that, so they are kinda fragile for being screen protectors. It protected my screen but it might not last as long as you would expect it to.

Bought this phone since I needed an android instead of an iPhone. First of all, for its price I have to say it’s one of the best phones you could get that has 5G. I was worried data wouldn’t work as I live in a somewhat remote area, and upon inserting the sim card, I receive the same amount of bars as my iPhone (14), to which this phone’s range is excellent.Performance wise this phone is mid-range (could be better), think of it trying to play a game on an old laptop.One thing I wish this phone had was an OLED screen. But unless you are watching HDR videos this isn’t noticeable.I didn’t really test the cameras out, however from what I remember they are maybe the same quality as the iPhone 11 or lower. No 4K though.The build quality of this phone is surprisingly well-made for its price-range. The backing doesn’t feel cheap but it does collect a lot of dust. Screen is crisp, Battery is lasting, 5G, etc..Not OLED, Not 90hz, Not a RTX 4077 TI, but it is a fkn solid phone.Overall: 9/10Note: I am using Verizon and have had no issues with the carrier.

Much lesser price than the 2022 and this one has a Snapdragon processor which I liked and similarly had in my previous phone. The emerald green is almost black. I couldn’t have done the transfers without help from the Consumer Cellular phone tech at Target stores. A huge plus. Pure Talk may be a slightly better deal but CC’s customer service is pretty knowledgeable and helpful when needed. Battery (5000 mAh) started well but seemed to run down a little faster later, so 4 stars right now for it. I’m not sure what happens to unused phone batteries over time. But 2 days? I don’t think so. It’s a bigger phone then even the G7 Power. I have not used the stylus yet, which is stored inside.
