I went to bed last night with 70% battery left!!!
Its not a thousand dollar phone and should not be judged as such so ignore the snobby experts who compare it to something much more unaffordable.
Im upgrading from a S7 edge that I have owned for 3 years. Its snappy fast in comparison, has a great screen, and battery life is so amazing. Most people just want a reliable phone where they dont have to bother about being attached to the charger like this one. The snobby experts suggest buying the more expensive Big Tech Google Pixel which doesnt have as good as a battery and no SD card. No thank you. I love this and I am ordering another phone for my wife. And if you live in Oklahoma City... Mint mobile is crazy cheap without a contract and provides great 5G! 60mpbs down and 50mbps up. Thats Mint mobile using the T mobile towers by the way.

Excellent phone. Battery lasts all day with heavy use. Nice large display. Great amount of internal storage. Camera produces nice pics. Have not tried night vision. I would recommend.

The phone itself works fine if you like Androids. No problems here with battery life/charging. We have 2 of these.
The unit I ordered for my son was not packed properly for shipping, fortunately it doesn't seem to get jostled around too much.

Purchased the unlocked model for my wife. She spends quite a bit of time on her phone and likes to take pictures. Good quality camera and fast performance when using apps. Has several features I would like on my (expensive) Samsung. Bonus is the case I purchased with it has a built-in screen protector. This case is not available for my phone.

One of the best ways to beat the high cost of monthly cell phone cost, is to buy a unlocked phone. You can find good phones for well under 500 dollars. Then just take your phone to a high quality prepaid carrier and pay 40 dollars a month, with no hidden fees.
I upgraded from a Samsung S6 that I paid 700 dollars for in 2016, but just 40 dollars a month for service, After phone outlay, my monthly mobile cost stay low. The Motorola 5g Ace is a bargain at 399. So kick those cell phone blues to the curb, and buy yourself a unlocked phone at Best Buy.

I had this phone for a week and has been excellent, fast, reliable, no bloated apps, 5G in 90% of the places I have been, regular updates, battery life, enough memory and expandable memory, Qualcomm chip, I love Moto's phone, been with them since early, to the smartphones now, X4, to the G Powers, compared to over $1K phones, for what I do, txt, apps, phone calls, is worth it, I only play games, movies, etc. once in a while, when I have too. But this phone is great for me for I do 90% of the time. I know is not the same Moto it was before, since is owned by Lenovo, but still heading to the right direction.

Battery useless after 6 months

This phone started off great. Unfortunately, for the past few weeks the battery life has plummeted. It used to support full day use with 30%+ left in the battery at night. I haven't changed chargers or anything, but now the battery can't make it 9 hours with only about 3 hours of active use (see picture from today). Pretty disappointing; my cheaper phones in the past lasted much longer.

I don't have much experience using a smart phone but I like the fingerprint security and my first time using Google wallet and using the NFC.
For the price it was a good phone for a beginner like me.

Really good , I recently purchased this Motorola smartphone, and I must say, I liked it a lot. This device is impressively fast, making my daily tasks and multitasking a breeze. The large screen provides a great viewing experience, whether I'm browsing the web, watching videos, or playing games. Moreover, I was pleasantly surprised by the camera's performance; it captured sharp and clear photos. Overall, this Motorola smartphone exceeded my expectations in terms of speed, screen size, and camera quality.

I have had this Moto for several months and I love it. Equal to are better than more expensive brands. As large a screen as any and 5G is readily available. For me phones just need to make clear calls and have quality resolution. It seems silly to pay over a grand for a phone,,,HELLO MOTO and drinks on me...mic dropped!!

I bought in store after I played a bit. I think the phone is actually good for most occasion
Good:
Excellent battery (up to 12 hours SOT when playing YouTube solely over Wi-Fi)
Fast CPU (on par with 765G at least)
Decent main and selfie cameras
Complete T-Mobile support including 5G
Big screen (5.6" when measured in 16:9)
6/128+SD
Headphones jack
Not so good
Mono speaker (but sound is loud and rich)
Selfie position (personal preference)
A bit slow 18 watts USB-PD charging
Actually, if you consider 2021 Moto phone and you have some budget, this one is actually a big step up from G Power with 1080p screen, 6/128, and 5G

Excellent mid-budget phone.
Plenty of speed, plenty of memory, plus additional memory can be added via micro sd card.
This phone comes unlocked. It can be activated with all major carriers. Excellent 5G, where available. And, for the price. The cameras on this phone take excellent pictures. The battery lasts me over 2 days of normal use.
Using Best Buy’s reward points, I was able to pick up this phone in January as an open box “excellent” condition for around $300. The phone arrived in the original box, with all original “un-opened” accessories. Everything in the box looks brand new!
By adding a case and a screen protector, the phone still looks operates like it is brand new. This phone is fast and works great. It has met all of my needs for personal and work uses.

I bought this after cracking the screen of my Moto Z3 Play. This Moto One 5G Ace is a mid-tier phone. I don't like spending even this much for a phone but due to inflation it is what it is. The Moto One 5G Ace is better than the Z3 Play in every way but one. Pros: it works with 5G, the screen is slightly larger, the battery is much longer lasting, the processing is faster, the internal storage is 4x larger, RAM is 6GB vs. 4GB, the camera is better, and there's probably more.
I also like that both phones allow a microSD card, and I believe this one has a max of 1TB. I could put my entire music collection on my phone, in full quality with that size.
The only negative, and I probably wouldn't have cared if not spoiled by the Z3 Play, is this screen is not AMOLED. This means that blacks are not black, but dark gray. It's not a deal breaker, but whenever I look at the screen I notice it because of my previous phone's screen being better.
Other than that I have to thank Best Buy once again for coming through vs. Amazon or eBay. I originally ordered the phone from an eBay seller that had great feedback but the phone I received was not sealed, it would not charge properly, and the screen had a blotch on it. I have never had an experience like that with Best Buy, and the price was about the same from either other source.
