- Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2024Color: Sapphire BlueVerified PurchaseI learned about this phone in a youtube review, which claimed it was one of the best phones in 2024 for such a low price range. I'll admit, I was skeptical at first, but when I bought this it changed my mind. I had a Samsung Galaxy a10 previously, and it kind of sucked. This phone fixed all the issues I had with my old one. The camera quality is nicer, it has more storage (55 GB), it can run/load any app a lot faster, the battery is AMAZING (I lost 20% in an entire day (however I'm not as active as other people with their phones so take that in mind)), and has a lot of nifty features that you only realize when you actually have the phone. It alerts you when it reaches your normal bedtime, the brightness changes automatically to fit your schedule, it has fingerprint unlock, and you can customize the phone any way you want. The company could've charged any price they wanted, and I'm glad they didn't. This is an amazing phone when it is your first one or when you're upgrading from a trashy one, and the price gives you a lot of bang for your buck.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2025Color: Sapphire BlueVerified PurchaseCan’t beat the functionality for the price. This phone is pretty durable and works well using Wi-Fi. If you mostly stream and don’t need a crazy amount of memory or fancy apps this should work well for most people. Bought this for my special needs on its doing great a few months in. Battery charges quickly and does last long for his uses.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2024Color: Navy BlueVerified PurchaseIt has very limited storage space. (I mean Facebook and Snapchat almost take up the majority of space) it also can get a bit glitchy and laggy.
The camera is very nice.
The sound quality is very good and loud, calls are also very loud and audible.
The responsiveness time is right as long as you don't have an abundance of things on it, as I said about the limited storage.
I have yet to test the scratch resistance on it because obviously, I bought a phone case and rarely drop my phone.
The value for money is pretty good, not perfect but it's good if you have a budget.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2024Color: Navy BlueVerified PurchaseHow many apps do you think you have on your phone? 40? 50? how about your phone from 2 or 3 years ago? 15-20 tops? LOL ah, yes the days when we got excited to get a few free apps or games on our new phones... alas those days are OVER bro! get you a variation of the moto g device family. Out of the box, she is pretty amazing. I didn't have a single complaint really. Super fast, tons of storage, great camera, new updated apps, lots of customizing, etc. JUST WONDERFUL. After a few months it happened, the dreaded update in April I think it was, maybe March, I now have 400+ apps. (I will attach a pic, it shows 399, there have been about 30-40 more that have trickled in since the initial dump, which took about 5-7 days to finish up... and 75-80% are "system apps" (bloatware from any and every carrier in fact.... ALL. OF. THEM.) For example, a bluetooth app for t-mobile, & verizon, & sprint, & metro, && cricket. Before you say, "just uninstall them and move on!" - I did. I have. I've factory reset twice and they're just BUILT INTO THE phones disk memory. There simply is no "delete" them. Some of them, as duplicatory as they are, messing around with them can still brick up your jawn within a few clicks... and before you even start, you are not a dev... so chill, I mean neither am I... but you just stay out of that menu, that app, and that folder. Really, who knows why they name everything in tech sketchy stuff like "com.sys.IM-WATCHING-YOU-PAM.000" and "<%real/secret/23-LISTENER999>... but anyways... JUST PROMISE ME, YOU WON'T GET INTO THAT APP, OR FOLDER.... okay?
So Motorola should reimburse me for having to put myself through IT school to teach myself to operate on this phones guts and remove all these garbage apps manually to create the phone I thought I purchased. All you can do is force stop and disable them. Buuut I still feel like they are gathering data, bc, why wound't they be. Its not just this model either, my partner has the moto g stylus 5g and its even worse on theirs. the play store basically never gets a break from constant updates (and then theres the transferring of precious data to the mother ship)
yeaaaa we also had to upgrade our home internet plan and router because of all this. We couldn't both use the wifi at the same time doing anything at all. it was crazy. allllllso the apps are gathering intense amounts of data and ALL WANT crazy permissions that have nothing to do with the app itself. like the calculator wants camera permissions... nuts. The sheer number of apps that require making system changes or having total device control... it was too much. I would almost ask for a refund, but from what I see these days most phones are leaning that direction, making money off our god given ones and zeros.... and then still try and look at us in the eyes while they sputter out the retail price of the next generation of your favorite device. can't even hold it down on a free case or something..
THEN - - when you finally get a break from force quitting and removing permissions that, somehow keep TURNING BACK on... you might have a few minutes to enjoy a quick photoshoot. NOPE. the camera app it comes with stinks, it just soooo basic.. so then you think, oh, i'll download a cool camera app off play store... NOPE. theres a fricking governor on the camera. That makes it so NO 3rd party camera app will get full usage of ALL THE MEGA PIXELS YOU PAID YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY FOR (48 megs to be precise, which is overkill, but still, you will be lucky to get to use 10 or 12 MP!!)
Seriously. And JUST as google starts conveniently implementing the awesome 2 step verification, and authentication keys.... JUST in time for you to have to answer to your wife about why you don't have as much info in your google takeout as she does... yikes... oh and squeeze on some more of that exact same conversation about your FB activity as well.. yaaaaay.
So, let me get this straight... I now have to REMEMBER ALL MY UNIQUE PASSWORDS && double log in, && verify 3 ways, all to check a notification thats just a promotional email about the new apps GEWG will put out next week. AND then FINALLY the google security come forward to say they don't trust my log in (bc i've got a VPN) - - - (from guess who - G1 - duh!) and they really cant tell the difference between MY REAL actual login on my trusted device from what it must assume is a HAKKr logging in 3 states away. . . . . . E.V.E.R.Y. LOG - INNNN!
at this point i am thinking about a jitterbug and some stress eating of sour worms to relax.
but yeah the phones cool, other than that.

Some of them, as duplicatory as they are, messing around with them can still brick up your jawn within a few clicks... and before you even start, you are not a dev... so chill, I mean neither am I... but you just stay out of that menu, that app, and that folder. Really, who knows why they name everything in tech sketchy stuff like "com.sys.IM-WATCHING-YOU-PAM.000" and "<%real/secret/23-LISTENER999>... but anyways... JUST PROMISE ME, YOU WON'T GET INTO THAT APP, OR FOLDER.... okay?Impressive, Quality Device - Unbearable Bloatware Ruins IT!!

So Motorola should reimburse me for having to put myself through IT school to teach myself to operate on this phones guts and remove all these garbage apps manually to create the phone I thought I purchased. All you can do is force stop and disable them. Buuut I still feel like they are gathering data, bc, why wound't they be. Its not just this model either, my partner has the moto g stylus 5g and its even worse on theirs. the play store basically never gets a break from constant updates (and then theres the transferring of precious data to the mother ship)
yeaaaa we also had to upgrade our home internet plan and router because of all this. We couldn't both use the wifi at the same time doing anything at all. it was crazy. allllllso the apps are gathering intense amounts of data and ALL WANT crazy permissions that have nothing to do with the app itself. like the calculator wants camera permissions... nuts. The sheer number of apps that require making system changes or having total device control... it was too much. I would almost ask for a refund, but from what I see these days most phones are leaning that direction, making money off our god given ones and zeros.... and then still try and look at us in the eyes while they sputter out the retail price of the next generation of your favorite device. can't even hold it down on a free case or something..
THEN - - when you finally get a break from force quitting and removing permissions that, somehow keep TURNING BACK on... you might have a few minutes to enjoy a quick photoshoot. NOPE. the camera app it comes with stinks, it just soooo basic.. so then you think, oh, i'll download a cool camera app off play store... NOPE. theres a fricking governor on the camera. That makes it so NO 3rd party camera app will get full usage of ALL THE MEGA PIXELS YOU PAID YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY FOR (48 megs to be precise, which is overkill, but still, you will be lucky to get to use 10 or 12 MP!!)
Seriously. And JUST as google starts conveniently implementing the awesome 2 step verification, and authentication keys.... JUST in time for you to have to answer to your wife about why you don't have as much info in your google takeout as she does... yikes... oh and squeeze on some more of that exact same conversation about your FB activity as well.. yaaaaay.
So, let me get this straight... I now have to REMEMBER ALL MY UNIQUE PASSWORDS && double log in, && verify 3 ways, all to check a notification thats just a promotional email about the new apps GEWG will put out next week. AND then FINALLY the google security come forward to say they don't trust my log in (bc i've got a VPN) - - - (from guess who - G1 - duh!) and they really cant tell the difference between MY REAL actual login on my trusted device from what it must assume is a HAKKr logging in 3 states away. . . . . . E.V.E.R.Y. LOG - INNNN!
at this point i am thinking about a jitterbug and some stress eating of sour worms to relax.
but yeah the phones cool, other than that.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2025Color: Sapphire BlueVerified PurchaseI am very happy with my purchase. The main deficiency is the limited storage (64GB) which is easily remedied by adding a micro sd chip. I added a 1 TB chip plus an official moto case and screen protector. It looks great and works great with my Consumer Cellular subscription, which runs over AT&T or T-Mobile towers. Joe Forgeng
- Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2025Color: Sapphire BlueVerified PurchaseI got this for a whopping $110. Are you kidding me??
I bought this as a replacement phone while I was going to get my Google Pixel repaired. It ended up being more than I expected to repair, so now this is my new, permanent, phone. Because I don't see a need to buy a different one.
There is a little lag, yes. But honestly, it's not an issue, and not constant.
The camera is pretty awful. The battery holds ok, but the charging is slow, very slow.
I like to play emulators; it's more difficult with this phone.
But beyond that? For $110? Insane. I love some of the features, like the fingerprint unlock on the power button. Shaking the phone to turn on flash. Three fingers to screenshot. The gestures that were on my Pixel (swipe left/right for the back button, etc).
It doesn't have the text search function like the Pixel. I do miss the convenience of automatically highlighting text the way you can with the Pixel.
But again... for $110?? I don't know why you'd get any other phone, honestly. I could not recommend this phone enough. Spent $110 here, and spend the other $$$ on a real camera. I carry a power bank with me, so even though the charging is not ideal, it doesn't affect me. If I really wanted to play emulators, I could just buy an android tablet. Most phones these days are like $700. All that, for what? A nicer camera? Not worth it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Slower than molasses on a cold day.
Color: Navy BlueVerified PurchaseWas easy to set up for my daughter. Can't go wrong with a hundred dollar(the suggested retail price) phone that does everything the others do.
It's a bit slow, but works lol.
Very very slow.
Feel over charged at 200$ not a good buy. Id return it but Im too late.
