    It well ring when someone calls, thats about it.

    Where to begin. Well for starters lets get the only two good things about it out of the way. It has a big battery, and when someone calls you, it should ring like its supposed to. Now for the bad. The phone has serious memory issues. Cant watch more then 30 YouTube shorts before the videos start lagging out, freezing the video playing audio only. You can't open up two apps at the same time without each app refreshing every time you go back to it. Makes it really annoying if you're trying to let's say do two step login or something with a email code because every time you'll try to open up the other app again to type in the code sent you the app restarts completely and you'll start all over again. It's super sluggish like horribly sluggish like a 2008 computer that's so slow you just want to smash. Needed a phone temporary for a few days while my new ones in the mail. This is probably the worst phone I've ever used in my life.

      Hi Harsha, We’re sorry to hear your phone is running slower than expected. Slowness can sometimes occur when multiple apps are running in the background, so we recommend using the recent apps button to close any apps you’re not using. Restarting your device every 2–3 days can also help clear memory and buffers that may affect performance.
      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 MotorolaMobility
