      Hi SeydouS, We're sorry to know that you're experiencing slowness on your phone. Slowness 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. Should there be any further inquiries, please do not hesitate to email [email protected]. We'll be glad to help. -Belle MotorolaMobility

    Start giving us NFC, Moto!

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Replaced Moto G Fast that was running out of ROM. Quadrupling storage to 128GB necessary, some programs were bombing the Fast, Moto G-5G working good, happy camper. Increasing battery from 4 to 5 Ma a break even as 5G phone sucks more power. Low resolution screen doesn't bother me, as it results in more battery life. Would have liked to get NFC, that's the primary reason for dropping this from five stars to four. i've owned several Motos along with several Lenovo computers and have always been satisfied. Almost stock Android a plus.

    An android smart phone it's price range is definitely a steal. I bought it for my mum and with smart phones getting more sophisticated, you can imagine the learning curve for the old school folks but it's been pretty easy to navigate. The battery life is outstanding and camera quality is fantastic with an impressive 2.2gig processing. I am very impressed with Motorola and I look forward to future purchases

    For the price of this phone it's comparable to my previous Google pixel 5a only better I can add an additional SD card and the cost is 350.00 dollars less than the Pixel 5a which crashed on me with just a little over 3 years of ownership never again will go with a pixel phone the Motorola Moto G is great with a nice camera, good processing speed with 128 gigs of internal space and a bright screen when viewing in the daylight. I'm hoping like my previous Motorola phones they will last until the next upgrade. So far very happy with it.

    Excellent Phone

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The smartphone is excellent for its price, and its camera surpasses even dedicated cameras. As always, I appreciate the user-friendly and memorable actions that Motorola has incorporated. For instance, the chopping motion to toggle the phone's flashlight or the three-finger swipe on the screen to capture a screenshot are both ingenious and practical interactions. There are several other cool and highly useful features on the phone. I would certainly recommend this phone to anyone seeking a fantastic device at a reasonable price—credit goes to Best Buy for the price I paid.

    I'm used to moto g phones, so this feels good to me coming from an older one. Display is great, it's fast, setup was easy I like it. I was surprised that the sound when playing from speaker is not quite as good as my 2021 phone. But the display is crisper and photo look better.
