VOLTE equipped Moto 3 is a quality product at a low price
The Moto G Play 2023 (unlocked) cost me $100 and serves as a great replacement for my UlePhone P13 with Andriod version 11. The Ulephone had failed due to a leaky battery.The Moto G was easy to set up. First, I opened up the box and noted that the user manual had a “quick start” manual that was too brief. As per the quick start leaflet I put in the memory card and the sim card from my old phone. The battery showed a 60% charge so I immediately shut down the phone and charged it up to 100%. Meanwhile I did a search for “Moto G Play 2023 User Manual” and downloaded the 62 page (very useful) “User Guide.” Be sure to get this manual (is is a pdf file) and it is full of information. The old SDcard needed to be reformatted and this manual tells how to do this. The Moto G has an Andriod 12 operating system and has “VOLTE” which is a requirement in our area for using the local AT&T cell towers.VOLTE give you more range and greater clarity than the old communications protocol. After about 90 minutes of charging I was at 100% and I did the initial; startup procedure described in the downloaded manual. The phone connected to the AT&T tower with no problems. I made my first phone call and the sound level was more than adequate. I have a hearing disability so I expect most people would say that the phone is ‘loud.” I also downloaded a Kindle book ($2.99) that told me details about using Android 12. If you want the book do a search on the Amazon site for “Android 12 user manual”. Most people will not get this manual but I am happy to have the extra information provided in this well-written book about the Android 12 OS. I bought the Moto play because I needed a phone and did not care about playing games, reading kindle books, or “living on the phone.” The Moto G can do all of that but you would be better off to buy a much more advanced unit that costs several time as much as the Moto G. I much prefer using a separate (large) Kindle for reading, a dedicated gaming computer, and desktop computer with multiple screens for other activities. Overall, the Moto G does exactly what I wanted (a good phone) at a reasonable price. I also downloaded a few apps from the app store and they worked properly. I rate this phone as being better than expected and well worth the low price.

Good phone
Phone works very well. Stylus is a great add on for those with large fingers. Unfortunately it’s the weak link in this phone. After just a short while the stylus broke. It is quite easily replaced (and was) but the lifespan of the original wasn’t great. The phone may not be the fastest on the planet in games but does well enough. Photo quality is okay overall. Quite good in daylight, passable in low light. Battery life is okay, usually makes it two days before needing a charge. Playing games for hours on days off tend to lower the battery life to just a day.Purchased to replace a Samsung S-10A and the Motorola is a better phone. A small complaint that the Samsung app store isnt available on Motorola. One or two apps for phone themes were lost in the change over. After a few days of searching apps equal to, or maybe in some ways better were found and installed.Quite happy with this phone.

Excellent phone for the price …
A great phone actually – has fantastic battery life – I don’t know what other people are doing ? that say it doesn’t ?The size is just right and it’s sturdy with good appearance and the camera works fine for me, but I’m a dinosaur in my 50’s – and I don’t know, I guess today’s kids want HD or something ? Takes good photos as far as I’m concerned.The only reason I gave it 4 stars is that it’s not as fast as my Motorola G Power was which finally died after 5 years.; but it’s fast enough for me.In my opinion, Motorola has the best sound quality during phone calls and excellent battery life on everyone I’ve bought for the last 20 years.I would buy this again ! especially for the good price and current Android version updates.

Moto G Stylus 2023: Terrible Disappointment
Moto G Stylus 2023: Terrible DisappointmentI recently purchased the Motorola Moto G Stylus 2023, and I must say, it has been a complete disappointment in every aspect. This phone fails to deliver on its promises and falls short in terms of performance, design, and functionality. Here’s why I strongly advise you to avoid this device:Lackluster Performance: The Moto G Stylus 2023 is painfully slow and sluggish. It struggles to handle even basic tasks like opening apps or browsing the internet. The overall user experience is frustrating, and you’ll find yourself waiting for ages just for simple actions to complete. It’s as if the phone is stuck in the Stone Age!Inferior Build Quality: The build quality of this phone is subpar at best. It feels cheap and flimsy in hand, lacking the premium touch you’d expect from a modern device. The materials used are of low quality, making it vulnerable to scratches and damage. Moreover, the design is uninspired and outdated, making the Moto G Stylus 2023 look like a relic from the past.Mediocre Camera Performance: Despite the marketing hype surrounding its camera capabilities, the Moto G Stylus 2023 fails to deliver impressive results. The photos captured are often grainy, lack detail, and suffer from poor color accuracy. The supposed “stunning” low-light performance is nothing but a marketing gimmick, as the images turn out noisy and unusable. If you’re looking for a phone with a good camera, this is definitely not the one.Frustrating Software Experience: Motorola’s software experience on the Moto G Stylus 2023 is a nightmare. The device is loaded with bloatware, which not only eats up valuable storage space but also slows down the phone even further. The user interface is cluttered and unintuitive, making it difficult to navigate through the menus. Updates are infrequent, leaving users stuck with outdated features and security patches.Lack of Display Quality: The display on the Moto G Stylus 2023 is a letdown. It lacks vibrancy, and colors appear washed out. The resolution is mediocre at best, resulting in a pixelated viewing experience. Whether you’re watching videos, playing games, or simply browsing the web, the display fails to provide an immersive visual experience.In conclusion, the Motorola Moto G Stylus 2023 is an absolute disappointment in every aspect. From its poor performance and inferior build quality to its underwhelming camera and frustrating software experience, this phone simply falls short of the competition. There are far better options available in the market at similar price points. Save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere for a reliable and feature-rich smartphone.

Was easy to set up for my daughter. Can’t go wrong with a hundred dollar phone that does everything the others do.It’s a bit slow, but works lol.Very few phones have removable data these days. This phone does.
