    Just what I need. Priced reasonably,.holds a charge. It has a few things that are new to me. I just need to figure it out. I never recommend product, my policy, when you see the "not recommend", it's because the survey does not allow for a different, honest answer.

    Bought this phone due to the price and acceptable specs to replace a pricy Samsung phone that died on me inexplicably at the most inopportune time. This is my first Motorola and after its plethora of updates it seems on par to do what I need it to do (phone calls, text, surf the web, watch videos, video calls/meetings, banking, pics). I am unimpressed by its casing which seem cheap and fragile, even at this price point. A case is a must because a minor fall would probably be an immediate TKO for the unit. The most worrisome thing about the unit is that it gets HOT. Hot while charging and hot with certain apps (default Solitaire game???). I expect the heat issue will fry something pertinent sooner rather than later. Planned obsolesce is annoying.

    Can't really complain for the price, but still very slow phone. Some apps take forever to open and browsing chrome using this phone is very sluggish. Also, the camera is quite bad even though it says it has 40MP camera. Most photos come out quite blurry and oversaturated. Display is only 720P but does not look that bad in my opinion. Phone call quality is as good as other phones and 5G works. It gets most of the job done at the fraction of the speed of other premium phones for the fraction of the cost.

      Hi Hjkm, We're sorry to hear that these are happening on your phone. Slow is sometimes caused by too many running apps in the background, use your recent apps button to close apps you're not using. It is also a good practice to restart the device periodically (every 2-3 days) to clear out buffers and memory that may lead to intermittent issues. If the concern persists, kindly go to this link: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/mcp/landing_troubleshooter/g_id/5059>; Next > Display/Touchscreen > Phone is slow/unstable and try the recommended steps there. For your camera concern, are you using the default and updated camera app? Please send us the details via email at supportforums@motorola.com. We'll be there to help. -Mitch MotorolaMobility

    This is the third Moto G phone I've purchased when I need to upgrade my phone (usually every 2-3 years). Have never been unsatisfied. I am as low tech as someone can be in 2024 and this smartphone is a great option for those who don't want complicated tech.

    It's a decent phone, but it broke 11 months after purchasing it (purchased in Dec 2024, broke Nov 2025) The camera quality is ok. In the beginning Nov, it fell from a VERY SHORT height, and that's when it broke. There were lines on the screen, the phone started glitching and I was unable to type or use it. All in all, if you're extra careful about not dropping the phone, you should get a few years out of it. It's not a bad phone.

    This phone fits me, it's of course, a lot smarter than me but its so easy to use. Compared to others, it has a simplicity about it, sort of related to me. First phone I've ever owned that feels like my assistant. I'm not very tech savvy, so it easily serves me well.

    Got this phone when my old phone (Galaxy S20 FE 5G) bricked. The Motorola bloatware isn't nearly as bad a Samsung's. The phone is a nice size and seems to be well built. It's a little on the slow side in my opinion but the battery life makes up for it.
