    Wonderful. When I got this phone I did not know the GB was low but anyway, it was good. Had no problem. I would have bought the one with a higher GB but the same brand.

    Decent phone for average usage. If you are looking for a phone with a good camera I would look to the Samsung s23 Ultra, 200mp for rear camera produces great photos. This phone dose do a good job on photo's but not great. Overall this is good for the average users.

    This a good unlocked Android phone for those on a budget. The Moto Play (2021) is designed around the Google Android environment. The phones features and specs make it feel like it should cost more than $169, though l got mine for $149 + tax unlocked. My one complaint is that 5G .is not available on this phone.

    For a under 200 dollar phone from a company I forgot existed I've been impressed. I've gone with plenty of name brand spotlight phones and more than enough off brand phones and they all end freezing, not connecting and always the charger port ends up needing to be rubber banned to charging cord and so on, thus so far in the few months with Hello Moto. Lol. There has been no connection issues to wifi and flawless coverage from my TMobile network with the 4g internet. All in all so far so good

    The unit meets all my needs and has a wide range of additional features particularly in the camera which expands my utilization of the device. More importantly the Best Buy staff Grace Nick & Christian resolved all my problems transferring from my prior service.

    Bought this phone for my elderly mother. I have a similar Android but it turns out that this one does not have easy-to-use features. Specifically answering the phone and hanging it up is very difficult for an elderly person to make work. That should be the easiest things to do on any phone. Some of the basic Android options are not available. Otherwise seems to be a good phone but not good for anyone that wants one that is easy to use with all of the normal setup options.
