Do not buy open box smartphones from Best Buy

Beware of purchasing open boxed items especially smartphones from Best Buy. It’s obvious they don’t test them for basic functionality. If you do please make sure it’s not locked by a PIN by previous owner.
I purchased an unlocked open box 2024 Moto G 5G and sent it a gift. The recipient just turned on the device and notified me that is is locked with a PIN. I contacted support and was informed the only way to get the PIN removed is by going to a store. The recipient lives 4.5 hours away by plane and I’m going to ask her to ship it to me; we may as well purchase a new phone. Since this was purchased as a present I was not notified of the issue until after return deadline has passed.
Skip the hassle and buy brand new instead.

I shouldn't even give it one star because, when I received my package, the phone wasn't inside, and BestBuy agents told me several times that they would refund my money. But to this day, they still haven't.
I had to file a dispute with the bank and I'm still waiting. If the bank doesn't help me more, BestBuy will have practically stolen my money.
Don't buy anything. It's a very unreliable store and doesn't deliver what it promises. Don't make the mistake I made and spend your money on an empty cardboard box!
You shouldn't risk losing almost $140 like I did. Now I'm dependent on a dispute with the bank and the uncertainty of whether the bank can help me get my money back. Don't shop at this store!...

Great phone with plenty of features. Good memory capacity, fast, great sound, good fingerprint sensor, excellent battery life, not bloated with lots of adware. It connects fairly fast to available networks, works good overseas, and it does provide true 5G speeds. Its' screen brightness is not great; it does sometimes becomes slow to respond when using the camera; the camera is above average but nothing close to even older gen iPhones or Pixels; and I do wish it was a tad bit smaller (lenght-wise). Overall it is a great value and I am glad Motorola is still coming out with affordable phones that are well above average and loaded with plenty of features.

I bought the Motorola G 5G 2024 as a last-minute solution, and it turned out to be exactly what I needed. The price is very affordable, yet it offers a wide variety of apps, a good-quality camera, and all the latest features and sensors — including screen mirroring, NFC, and 5G connectivity. I've been using it for almost a year now, and it has consistently performed at 100%. It's durable, impact-resistant, huge memory capacity and the battery easily lasts all day with regular use. Overall, it’s a solid, dependable smartphone that delivers far more than you'd expect for the price. Highly recommended!

Motorola G 2024 – The Perfect Everyday Smartphone

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I’ve been using the Motorola G 2024 for a while now, and I’m really impressed with how much value it offers for the price. The phone feels smooth and responsive in daily use — apps open quickly, multitasking is easy, and the performance is consistent even after long hours of use.
The display is bright and sharp, making videos and social media look great. Battery life is another big highlight — I can easily go a full day (and sometimes more) on a single charge, which is perfect for my routine. The camera quality is solid too, capturing clear and vibrant photos in good lighting conditions
I also appreciate the clean Android experience with very little bloatware. Motorola’s My UX is simple and user-friendly, and the side gestures (like the double chop for flashlight) are genuinely useful.
Overall, the Motorola G 2024 is an excellent budget-friendly smartphone that nails the basics — great battery, good performance, clean software, and solid build quality. Definitely worth it for anyone looking for a reliable everyday phone without spending a fortune.

I lowkey hate this phone, but it's part my fault. I didn't have a choice, needed something cheap and it was on sale. I will say I like the outershell though.
Functions fine as a phone but heaven forbid you want to listen to music and open Google maps, one of those will probably crash. It can't run Spotify and open the McDonald's app at the same time unless it's a good day.
Good for basic use like calls or texting or one app at a time. Terrible for anything even slightly more involved, like switching between web browsing to an app like Door Dash or maps. Very low RAM so do keep this in mind.
Camera is decent enough for the price though. Nice colors, a touch low on detail but still nice for the price point.
It's a bit slow on even simple games (I don't do a ton of gaming but I have one or two and they run but I can't switch out without the game closing).
Battery life is about par. I don't usually have issues getting through the day but it will be depleted by the days end with moderate use, such as occasional games, maps, watching a movie, etc.

The Best of Budget 5G: Design Meets Stamina
The Motorola Moto G 5G (2024) is designed for the user who wants reliable, long-lasting performance and modern features like 5G without spending a premium price. Its standout feature is arguably the excellent battery life, combined with a surprisingly premium aesthetic for this price category. The Sage Green color, paired with a tactile vegan leather back panel, gives the phone a distinctive and comfortable feel that instantly elevates it above the typical glossy plastic found on competitors.

I put off writing a review until I had time to use this phone for a while. It's been about a month and I have to say this phone is overall a great purchase. It works as needed, easy to use and figure out, the price was very reasonable, and the phone is fairly sturdy as I've accidentally dropped it a few times and it hasn't cracked or dented.

After five months of ownership, the Moto G 5G (2024) 128 GB remains a functional budget handset with exceptional battery life and solid build value. But it doesn’t get smoother over time—performance limitations, aging battery behavior, and display/camera compromises become more apparent during long-term use.
Ideal for: Users needing a simple, low-cost 5G phone with long battery life and minimal expectations for high performance or camera quality.
Not ideal for: Users who demand smooth app switching, vivid display, rich multimedia, or extended longevity.

Overall I like this Motorola phone. Great camera. Better than some of the iPhone pics I've seen. I added an sd additional memory card. Took a little work to close the seal but it can be done. The only slight issue is occasionally there is a slow delay when switching from one app to another. Good sound quality on calls. Good battery life and quick charging. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a new phone and doesn't want to spend big bucks.
