    Pretty nice phone, but a little bit slow. I didn’t purchase any external memory card, that might help a little with the memory and speed when using the phone. But overall, it’s a good “extra phone”

    Great Phone for the price very snappy and works well the other companies can't compare when it comes to more budget phones Motorola gives you the best performance you can get for the price. My ratings are based on Price to performance and overall value there are better options but you will pay more.

    I purchased the the phone one month ago. It is good quality and it has a very good price. If you need a good phone it is definitely worth it! Camera is good for my needs, but you definitely would have to buy a micro SD card to have enough memory available. All in all a good decision. Fair price guaranteed!!!

      Thank you for sharing your experience with us, MatthewK. 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.

    Not enough storage for my needs

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

    Bought this as a replacement. Realized the apps I normally use used up all of the internal storage, so I had to delete a few and clean up my items. Because of this the phone is a little slow. Connects fine to my things but is only a short term solution as a replacement. I will need to get a phone with bigger storage/memory to function correctly. I also bought external storage but it will only hold photos, not apps- which is taking up almost all of the memory.

    A great budget option

    This phone is a great budget option! I know other brands, like Samsung and Apple, have taken over most of the cell phone industry, but I wouldn't completely rule Motorola (and their non-flagship options) just yet. Knowing that they are amongst the originals of the cell phone brands and the Android OS, what they offer is still top-notch and compared to others, at a great price. This phone is great for anyone that is even slightly below a super user. Another feature of the phone that won me over is expandable storage using a micro SD. Nice to have that option too!
