    I bought this because it is an upgrade from my moto play G and i know how it works. So i decided after another phone kept giving me trouble to just get an upgraded moto. the phones great, does everything just like my play does, just wished that google would get its act together and stop causing issues on the moto. That is the only complaint and its not moto its an app! Display is the same as my moto play and the camera is crisper, easy to use, battery life is normal for a phone that has google assistant constantly running. Takes about 7 days constantly running google assistant to need to be recharged, give or take a day.

    I was wanting a solid 5G phone to work on T-Mobile and replace my older Moto phone. It was as simple as switching out the SIM card from one phone to the other. The Moto G 5G offered to connect and copy data from my old phone upon startup. I didn't have a cable to go from phone to phone but it had a wireless option that was flawless and relatively quick. A couple apps didn't make it over but I knew what was missing. I also had to log back into some apps but had everything I needed to get back into those apps. The WiFi calling feature was a must as I have only a so so signal at the house. (T-Mobile offers WiFi calling) Overall the phone seems very solid, the battery life is really an improvement over my older phone. It was Android 12 out of the box and that was one of the primary reasons I was looking to get a new phone. All in all very happy with the phone and really appreciate the 5G speeds.

    It is a good Android phone if you need to use it as a second phone or business phone. Also it is good as a first phone for a kid. I am not a fan of Android overall. But this phone is ok option if price is a factor. No issues with the phone for 2 years of usage.

    Despite the massive spec'ed battery and claims, the phone itself discharges fast. The only time I've gotten this "2 day battery" phone to last a full day without topping off is by putting it in battery saver mode and not touching it at all. Not necissarily a bad thing on it's own, still better battery life than an Iphone SE (2020 model), but the advertising and specs seem to fail it in real life. I mostly use it (besides the phon part) for the occasional Youtube video or browsing Facebook. I will get a solid 12 hours out of it (most of which in my pocket) but will need to put it on a charger for a little while at some point in the day. Otherwise not a terrible phone by any means, but in its price bracket there are better options that have the same battery life (at worse specs on paper?) that are more responsive or have a better camera. This is more so for those who want a relatively budget phone that has the familiar Moto features like the flashlight "chop chop" motion etc.

    Purchased 2 of these for my young kids. They've been extremely happy with their upgrades. Even after 6 months of use, they're still snappy regardless of how many games that they've installed (left running in background) & running. Updates releases could be sooner however I assume that they need to work with the newest version of Android and then need to make it work with their software/devices. Current release looks to be Anroid 13 (based on what my kid's devices last displayed)

    This is my third unlocked Motorola phone, first from best buy. It's a solid phone for $199. It's maybe not a Google or Samsung phone but I'm not interested in spending the extra $ for those. And it works with my pay as you go plan, being dual network don't have to worry about what plan I use
