Motorola - Moto X (4th Generation) with 32GB Memory Cell Phone (Unlocked) - Super Black

I originally went into the store expecting to buy a different phone, but they sold out. This phone was on sale and the specs were comparable to the other phone I was originally wanting to get. After playing with this phone for a bit, I think this one actually turned out to be the better deal. This one has alot more features than I originally expected and didn't notice until after I bought it: It has a flash on the front for taking "selfies" at night, it is waterproof, has a wide angle camera, and it automatically can show you notifications/time/whatever just by waving your hand over the screen so if you're laying in bed you can check to see what time it is without even touching the phone. Those are the features I didn't even know about until after buying it. Some more pros: Battery is awesome, I can go 2-possibly 3 days on a single charge and I think of myself as a heavy user (lots of games and facebook) Camera is pretty great also, it's clear and focuses fairly quickly on both front and rear cameras. Screen is super bright, easy to read even out in the sun and the colors are also very deep, even scrolling through old pictures taken with my old phone - this phone's screen makes the pictures look even better than original. Build quality is sturdy, looks clean and sharp, it has a glass back and metal sides, the phone itself is shiny and premium looking but I would still recommend a case if you think you might drop it. Performance-wise, it is running really smooth. Every game I've played on it has opened quickly and run stable. USB-C charger and a headphone jack are also a plus!

I bought it as a temp phone to see if the lack of cell coverage was my aging 6yr old Galaxy S4 or the cell service itself. To my surprise it was the phone. I've had the new one for a week now and haven't dropped signal since. It came with android 7 and it updated to android 9. Great features except it doesn't have wireless charging but the turbo charging makes up for it. Battery life is good. I can go 2 days on one charge. I do recommend the 64 gb version because after the security and OS updates, 50% of the storage was used. That's before any apps or games were downloaded. I installed a 128 gb memory card for extra storage. Make sure to purchase a case because the glass back make it a slippery phone. Also, if your current sim is not a nano sim, you will need to update your sim through your carrier. I have Verizon and they did it for free but you have to pick it up from a cooperate store or have it mailed. Retail Verizon stores will charge you for the sim card.

So far I really like this phone! My wife ended up getting one after she saw mine! The Android one version I have seems to be missing a few apps and features that her regular non Android one version has though. Besides that I think all THREE of the cameras are great, and this thing performs pretty quick! It would be 5 stars if it had the ability to store and run apps from an SD card. I discovered that the Moto X4's use a certain file encryption that does not work with integrating adaptable external memory. You can still save all of your media to the external card, just not apps. I have about half of my 32gb available after system software, so 16gb is plenty of room for some apps. The screen is vibrant and very sharp. The finger print sensor is awesome! No other phones in the price range has as many features. Plus it upgraded to the new Pi OS and since it's Android one it will upgraded to the Q OS after it's released. It's also the only non Google phone that can use the Google fi phone service. I would recommend!!

The hardware is good, the software and design are common. I bought it because I like the camera. But I returned the phone after I bought it one day. Because when I took some photos, I wanted to take photos out. I found the computer could not recognize it. I took it back to Best Buy shop and consult the seller about how to connect the phone to the computer and transfer the photos to computer. The seller told me this is a phone just can upload photos to Google Photos or use SD card. I felt the SD and SIM card drawer are not strong enough for everyday pulling out. The card drawer is a fragile part of the cell phone. When started the phone, it asked for google account almost every step. A user manual or user manual web address are very important to user, But in fact, the user guide in this phone box is just for start the phone and it lacked of detail.

I bought this phone because I needed something cheap and now. What I didn't expect was to like this phone as much as I do. This phone has been updated to Android pie the latest Android version out currently and has a good looking design, glass and aluminum body it feels premium not cheap I've also accidentally dropped it 3 times already and the glass hasn't shattered and one of those times was on pavement. The charging is fast with the included turbo charger and the battery does last long enough time. The camera on this phone is another thing that surprised it's really good for smartphone that only cost $149. Another great thing about this smartphone is that it is universally unlocked so you can take and activate it with any carrier you'd like. It's a great phone.

This was my first adventure away from the restricted world of Apple. I grabbed it on sale as an unlocked phone an figured it was the safest way of trying Android. I'm happy to say, after a full week with my Motorcycle X4, my iPhone is in my dresser drawer. The 9.0 Android is feels good and intuitive. The battery life is great. I can go 2 days with normal use where my iPhone was lucky to make it a full day. (Really just about 18 or so hrs). The only downside is that a couple of my larger apps take a little longer to load but some (like my weather app) open quicker. Very nice for the price.

Overall I am very happy with this phone. Call quality is good and the speakers are decent. My only issue is not so much with the phone, but the fact that the mobile hotspot with cricket wireless that I used to have access to is not accessible on this phone. Apparently cricket wireless isn't totally compatible with this phone when it comes to the personal mobile hotspot. Having kids that are always asking me to turn it on when we're on the go, that's kind of a deal-breaker for me so I'm now shopping for another carrier. I'm not giving up this phone. My only advice is get a case - this phone is VERY slippery.

As phones become more and more expensive and features are added that may or may not be of value, it is important to have some mid-priced options. I noticed that phones are either becoming very low prices and low featured, or, running hundreds of dollars as they become more evolutionary rather than revolutionary. Few manufacturers are providing phones in the 300-500 range. And phone providers are locking people in with the monthly costs built in as the phones are being paid off over many months. Everything about this phone is average. But if you want to make calls, take a few pics, play a few games, it's fine.
