    This phone has a defective camera. Pictures are very pixelated. Looks like a camera purchased in the 80s or 90s. Like one of those home video cameras. If you want an old phone marketed as new this is the one.

    Not real happy! Slow does not begin to describe it. I had a used edge and figured cheaper moto phones couldn't be that bad. Proved me wrong.

      Hi DonU, We're sorry to know that you're experiencing slowness 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. Let us know if this helps by sending us an email at [email protected]. -Mitch MotorolaMobility

    It isn`t very loud in ringers and notifications. People are telling me that they are calling me and texting me but it`s not coming through. The camera is blurry most of the time. I will never buy this brand again, My son has a Moto phone too and the same happens to him.
