    This is a very slow phone and it was slow straight out of the box itself it is very inexpensive but still I found it expensive. It nevertheless works and it was fine for my purpose. The camera in this phone is terrible. For the price range I would still say that it is a fine phone to buy but Motorola could have done a better job.

    Phone is a decent smart phone. Not all the bells and whistles of the higher end brands but not worth the cost to get those whistles. If you are dtarting in ghe dmart ohone area, its perfect. Only issue is learning new conventions.

To do this, go to your Settings > System > Advanced > System updates and make sure all your apps are updated. Meanwhile, you can also try resetting your app preferences. These will reset your notification settings and default apps, but your data will remain intact.
