A repacked unit from Amazon, no usb cable or screen protector/case in the box, but it did have a UK wall charger with a usb-2 socket.The phone was in perfect physical condition. It booted up fine, updated to Android 14 with no issues, transferred data/Apps from old android phone ok.Software is intuitive & is close to stock android, & for day-to-day use don't see issues with CPU speed or low RAM.Mobile connection & sound are good (5G/4G), WiFi is good, screen casting & hotspotting work fine ... screen quality is good, battery life is good & will easily get you through the day on a single charge with medium-to-hard usage.Nothing negative to report about the phone - it's a great phone for the price & easily can be used for regular daily activities.

I resisted getting a smartphone for a long time, largely because the people I know who have them have endless trouble with theirs. However, I was using a 4G-wifi device which was costing £24 a month for 30GB, and I realised the savings I could make in a year by using a phone as a hotspot would pay for a smartphone within a year, so I read hundreds of reviews for different phones and settled on this one as the most affordable one that lacked complaints about unreliability issues. I bought a 50GB SIM to use in it costing £11 a month (£10 initially). A review here gave me the confidence that this should work as it was from someone who was already using this model of phone as a hotspot with the same network. The hotspot works beautifully, and it's much faster at getting the data in, so it now allows my computer to play youtube videos without the picture freezing repeatedly.Everything else about the phone is thus a bonus as my main need was to connect my computer to the internet through it, but I was looking for a phone that wouldn't cut out during calls or do bizarre things with the display to make the keyboard and speakerphone hard to access during calls - the kind of problems that plague the smartphones of other members of my family, and this one did not disappoint as it just does the job properly without complications.I've never been interested in computer games, but there was one exception, and it would test the phone maximally: I was hoping to find a formula 1 game, and I settled on Monoposto which it handles with ease, so I've spent a month on the Netherlands circuit (having turned off all the driving assistance). My only complaint is that if the battery level hits 20%, it flashes up a huge warning message which makes driving on impossible. Another issue is that it's hard to hold the device without occasionally hitting the brake by accident with the skin of the left hand bulging round the side onto the edge of the screen unless you turn the phone upside down to put the wider margin there, but then the screen keeps dimming unless you search for a setting to turn that off - I think the problem's caused by a proximity sensor, but it can be resolved if you find the right menu.The other apps that attracted my attention all work on it too: Stellarium, electronic compass, GPS, a synthesiser (the speakers are good and loud without distortion), instrument tuner (because I make flutes) - everything I want works on it just fine. The camera does a good job too - I've just been testing it on nacreous clouds and got good results after finding an exposure control (a long touch on the screen brings it up), though nothing like as good as what you see directly with your eyes. I'd put a picture in here if I could transfer it easily to this computer, but I don't have an easy way to do that, and connecting it with a cable doesn't appear to enable me to access its files, perhaps because they're on the internal storage rather than a micro-SD card - that's something which I need to investigate further, but it may just be that I don't know enough about how to use it. Regardless of that, all my doubts about smartphones have been blown away by this one. I can't know if it's the best one in its approximate price range though - there's a Samsung costing £30 to 40 more which was my second choice, but whether it's better or not I cannot tell as I'm more than happy with this one and am certainly keeping it.Edit: Further information about its capability. It can screen record (i.e. video what's happening on the screen including the audio and/or microphone input), and it can do this while running that formula one game with smooth results - I wasn't expecting it to have the processing power needed for that, but it handles it fine.Edit 2: I've now found out how to get photos and videos onto the PC. You have to go to settings, then to connected devices (which sounds as if it only handles bluetooth and pairing, but it has USB settings there too), then select USB, then switch on file transfer. All the content of the phone is then accessible on the PC, from both Micro-SD card and internal storage. So, I've now added a couple of those nacreous cloud photos to this review, and I was able to do that from here just as if the phone is a storage device built into the PC.

My second smartphone purchase to date (I'm not that clued up on mobiles..) but this thing beats the previous by a country mile!It's fast, reliable with some stunning features, the camera alone is so easy to use and powerful. It's got the space for extra memory and the audio is brilliant!I don't think the battery life is all that good but the recharge speed IS!Simply can't argue with this phone, especially for the price!

My daughter needed a new phone as hers was giving up the ghost. This was her first smartphone & although we weren't overly happy getting her one, we use Google Family Link to limit her usage & what she can access. It's so far been a decent phone, is easy to navigate & reasonably priced. She's perfectly happy with it. getting her to put it down is the only problem.

It is a great phone with a lot of great features including NFC, eSIM, 5G, fingerprint sensor at an affordable price. It is cheaper than what I paid for my previous motorolla phone (Moto G7 Play). It does NOT have two slots for two physical sims. It can only support one physical sim. However, it supports eSIM feature. So if your telephone provider offers this facility, you will be able to host two phone connections on this phone - one through the physical sim and the other through the eSIM. The speed and response of the phone is good. NFC is quite useful. you can make contactless payments through Google Pay directly through the phone. The battery lasts about a day or more for normal use. Overall, I think it is a very good phone at this price. My older motorola phone lasted for 5 years and still its working. I hope this one will also last that long. However, be careful if you are looking for a dual sim phone. It does not have dual sim slot. Some of the reviews for this phone were misleading.

This phone was bought at a very competitive price to replace my Motorola G7 Power which I had for six years. I am very pleased with the phone and the camera is much better than my previous one. Storage capacity is good, screen is bright and the processor very good. A great phone for my purposes. I have had several Motorola phones and all have given me good service.

A meat new phone which so far works well for me. A bit of a pain to set up and transfer data from my old phone, but otherwise great phone and value for money. Can't comment yet on camera quality
