    I really liked the customer service. I bought a phone for a really good price and I would continue to visit Best Buy for future purchases. The Motorola phone I bought takes really good pictures... The Toshiba tv in the photo was purchased at Best Buy as well.

    The Motorola G 5G phone is a piece of crap! Every since the first day I purchased this phone, I've had nothing but trouble!!! It is the absolute worst phone on the planet. It freezes, won't allow me to answer it or restart it. However, BEST BUY is amazing and the rep that helped me ROCKS!!! He got permission from the manager to return the phone and use the credit towards a NEW PHONE! This store in Dublin,CA has THE ABSOLUTE BEST REPS, THEY CARE, REALLY CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS!!! I will always refer folks to BEST BUY. The reps are knowledgeable, relatable and extremely knowledgeable!! The Rep that turned a horrible day into a great experience name is Address and HE IS AMAZING!! THANKS BEST BUY, I WILL BE BACK TOMORROW TO PURCHASE THE NEW PHONE!! Everyone come to the Best Buy is Dublin CA!!!

    The Moto G Stylus 2023 is a good product. I like the size and quality of the camera. The stylus is a nice addon to the phone. I believe it'll help with reading. The only downside is it is sometimes slightly slow for processing speed.

    Sales associate said that this phone was compatible with my T-Mobile service. It was not. Also, I was not encouraged in any way to get a protective cover or shield for this phone. I dropped it within 24 hours and the front shattered. I am very dissatisfied with the entire experience.

      Hi JenniferM, We're sorry to hear about your experience with the phone and the sales associate. It's disappointing when a device doesn't meet expectations, especially when there's a misunderstanding about compatibility. While we do not cover physical damage, you may consider getting it repaired for a fee.
