    I luv this phone, comparable to what I had before but an upgrade to me. easy to use, buttons are easier and functions are easy. Only thing I miss is more choices of the kind of clock I would like to see on the home page.

    Bought this for my 88yr old friend to replace his 6yr old G. Works just great for the older less sophisticated people that just need a modern phone to do simple snap pics, email, texts and calls. Highly recommend MOTO phones. Always used them when Google owned Motorola. Glad Lenovo stuck to their basics with decent updates.

    My son needed a phone at 12 years old. This was a a great purchase for the money. I spent $40 less on his first phone but it was broke and slow right away. This phone has lasted 10 times longer already. It also has a way faster and smoother interface that my son is grateful for.
