    I am extremely disappointed with the phone's consistent inability to connect with the network thereby disconnecting phone calls while talking and problems taking many minutes to send and receive texts. I live in an urban area and never had this problem before with two previous phones. I do like the sharpness and clarity of videos.

    Had to replace item day after I bought it. Freezing screen, slow response time. Even replacement... Claimed battery last a few days during gaming, videos, music, etc. However, battery drains rapidly just doing normal Internet searches for data, not medical.

    Battery Life

    Well perhaps I should wait a day or 2 however when I was setting up my phone after turning it on for the first time, I notice the battery life was at approx 50%. After moving my apps from my old phone to this new one, which took about 20 minutes., the battery life was down to less than 5%. I then charged up the phone, and continued with the setup, I happened to go into settings and with a 100% charge it said I had a little over 2 hours of battery life left! I got a new phone because my old phones battery was going. I can't believe a new phone would have a battery life of less than 3 hours on a new charge. Unacceptable. I will be seeking a refund and new phone, it certainly will not be a Motorola

    Great value phone

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

    For the price, this phone is fantastic. It's got a ton of storage and a medium tier processor with a 90hz screen. Only downside is it doesn't charge super fast compared to most phones this generation, but all the other specs as well as the 5000 battery makes it definitely worth it.

    Solid Work phone

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

    I bought this device with the intent to fill my need for a solid work only phone, it does the job amazingly. My working conditions expose me to all kinds of ways for me to damage/lose my expensive flag ship phone that I won't name. Since I wasn't all too keen on scratching a thousand $$ device, I looked for an alternative phone that I can reliably bring to work without worry. The build quality for this price point is pretty good. Nice weight to the device and decent quality screen. The screen is flexible and doesn't scratch or crack as easily when hit by foreign objects, all the while staying pleasing to the eye. The scrolling isn't anywhere near flagship material, so don't expect a premium 60-120hz display, but it was smooth for me to get by. I had no issues surfing the web when I needed to and the camera is capable of picture quality good enough for the intent to show my co-workers what I mean by metal thingy ma bob in the storage room, you are not going to find the latest and greatest Instagram photos here. Overall, I was really surprised by the decent phone experience this device offered. There are not many or hardly any phones in this price bracket that I would recommend. I know I only used this phone for calls, text, surfing the web, taking basic pictures, and turning on the flashlight. ( which I learned you can do by just shaking it, pretty useful ) but I never felt like I was using a hunk of junk that you would usually find in this price range. That being said, if you are thinking you are gonna get quality YouTube videos, pictures and an awe inspiring phone experience, you are barking up the wrong tree.
