Overall review
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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 for traveling to Philippines
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for my mom to use overseas while traveling to the Philippines. She was able to get service while over there and call us with no issues. This is her first time having a cell phone and this one works just fine for her. She can easily take pictures and make messenger calls. The battery lasts long enough for her to travel during the day.

Pretty Untouchable At this Price!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Hello Moto
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great price. Screen resolution is good. A little bit slow and not enough GB and RAM to download too many things. Overall I would recommend it!

Posted .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. Should there be any further inquiries, please do not hesitate to email [email protected]. We'll be glad to help. -Mitch

Best Buy
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!!!

It's good.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It took time for me to get used to it, but it's pretty good. I like how the phone informs me if I'm getting a scam call. That's important to me. And it's bigger than my other phone.

Great distance for dollars spent!!!!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this because I needed a smartphone in a pinch for work, and I was just a month away from the next generation of iPhones. I have to hand it to this thing—aside from it being a little slow and having lesser storage capacity, it has been well worth its price. It's fast enough for Google Maps to be accurate, which is what I needed for work.

A great budget option
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!

Gets the job done.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.the phone is cramped with random apps that i just have to go through and delete. the phone itself seems really nice but software wise seems rough around the edges. there's times when you scroll through your phone and it looks beautiful, and other times where it big time lags typing words into the Amazon search bar on Firefox. even though it sounds like I'm dunking on this phone i do think its worth when on sale.
