Verizon - Motorola Moto E 4G with 8GB Memory No-Contract Cell Phone with Blue Grip Case - Black

It's a very fast and beautiful phone, it works as described. The only thing that I miss on this phone is a camera flash.

Ideal smartphone for my kids, with the right price and good quality.

This phone is a budget phone for entry level smartphone users and its great phone because of its price as it has so much to offer what other phones at same price can not. The battery may seem small on a paper but it really goes more than a day. So I keep this phone with me though i have a Galaxy s6 Edge because my S6 would not even make a day with all of my power use.

Purchased for $10 as Black Friday special. Running on Lollipop 5.1 out of the box. Without modification, it can only be used on the Verizon network, as intended. After doing some work on it, was able to get it working with H2O wireless SIM (AT&T network) with LTE speeds. Even if you don't want to activate it, if you pop a microSD card in, you can download your music and videos, and it can be used as an MP3 player, portable FM radio, GPS navigator (using offline navigation apps), etc. Screen is good, no lag with basic use ( high intensity games will likely lag), good signal strength. Call quality may not be the best because the mic is on the back. Battery life is good.No NFC. Don't not get it if you like to take photos or selfies. Low resolution front and back cameras. No flash. It's a budget camera, so corners needed to be cut. It's not fair to compare it to a S6, iPhone, G4, etc. If you're coming from a high end phone, you may not like it. But for the average non-gamer or child's first phone, you can't find better for the price. Also makes a great backup phone!

I have a teen son who has lost many phones. Found a great deal on this one and decided to get him a phone. It's been great! Battery life is the best of any phone he's ever had! Great size, came with a case. Needs Verizon start up kit/card to use monthly at a rate of $45, which gets you unlimited talk & text, and 1 GB of data. You can add on more value to get more gigabytes of data if you choose to. In the start up kit I bought, it came with a $45 card as well as a micro SD card to increase memory.Overall, great phone at an amazing price!

I purchased this over black friday when it was $10 as a back up phone. It came quickly. It has a perfect size for a phone...decent performance and internet browsing speeds. Camera is nothing to smile about but for the price and functionality provided i have no complains. It is by no means a flagship but the performance doesnt lag like other cheap phones. Pure Android ran smoothly. I was also able to unlock the radios to use it on TMOBILE and received 4G LTE signal.

Pros: * Got mine SUPER CHEAP on the Black Friday deal. * Very good battery life * Solid construction * High-speed data * MicroSD expansion slot (you'll need it, only 8GB internal storage) * Quad-core CPU fast enough for most apps * Ships network unlocked for other carriers Cons: * Kind of chunky and heavy * Low-density screen * Only has 1024MB of RAM * Bootloader is locked so can't root it (Developer Options has "OEM Unlock Bootloader" switch, does nothing) * Technically unlocked for other carriers BUT Verizon OTA update hid the setting for switching radio mode, so to use on another carrier you have to connect with USB in Developer Mode and issue shell commands via ADB. * Despite device being technically capable of Miracast display mirroring, Motorola disabled mirroring for everything but Chromecast. * Low-res 5MP camera doesn't even have a flash! I bought this for use as a app development platform. I also wanted to root it and possibly install a custom ROM, which (as of right now) can't be done. Motorola hobbled this phone's ability to mirror display to a TV - it should be technically capable of Miracast display mirroring (albeit with quite a lag), but they limited it to "cast screen" only for Chromecast. Mine came with a blue "grip shell" cover/case. It makes the phone look like a preschool toy and for no good reason requires you to remove the rubbery band around the middle of the phone (they could have easily designed the grip cover to fit OVER it). Also the back of the actual phone has a rubber coating that gives you a sure grip, the back of the "grip shell" is smooth plastic - which sort of defeats the purpose. On the other hand I paid so little for it on sale it would still be a bargain if I only used it as an alarm clock or a paperweight.

It's a cheap Android phone. At the $10 special price i bought it for, they are worth every penny. I bought two, but one constantly rebooted, which is why i gave it 3 stars. The camera is not that great, the speed is so-so, it lacks physical buttons for home, back, etc (they are on-screen buttons), internal memory is low, and it lacks a lot of advanced features, but it's not meant to be a flagship phone. What it is is a good enough phone for small kids to use (without activation)
