   Better RF Performance, Superb Value
   The best part of this phone is it gets workable signal when others seem not to be able to do so.Any phone can run apps but most have lousy RF performance. The RF performance of this phone seems to allow it to get a workable signal where other phones do not. I was often in areas which seemed to have no to marginal coverage. Now with this phone they all seem workable. Casually comparing its performance to other kinds of phones in use in the same area by others on various networks, this phone will typically be able to make calls when others cannot. It is clearly better than the phone it replaced. Perhaps it is realted to Motorola being an old line radio company. Who knows. But it is a superior RF performer.I tested using different SIM cards and it works with both Verizon and T-Mobile (a GSM carrier) networks. This is pretty unusual because most phones are either Verizon or GSM but not both. The phone is advertised as working with ALL US carriers and this seems to be a good claim. Maybe the thing is an SDR? Wouldn’t that be nice.The wifi section has both 2.4 and 5 Ghz bands. Both work very well. Using a directional beam as the access point I was able to get a workable 2.4 link at about a half mile. If you want to play with this I used a Ubiquiti Powerbeam PBE M2 400 which you can get on Amazon.The phone is also very stable, having not yet crashed after a few months of use. The phone comes with Android 11, which is very good and it will ask you to upgrade to 12. Both versions are excellent and stable on this phone. There are no hangs or crashes.The memory holds all the apps I need and is only about 60% used. Battery life can go way past two days if you are just on standby and have all the saver features turned on. The two days is with “normal” use as in my kind of normal use versus playing games or watching video all day. Charging is quite fast and considering you can run a day with far less than 100% battery, the time to refresh the battery is quite quick.The camera is average, which in my case is good enough, but keep in mind it’s a cell phone. If you want to do real photography get a DSLR.For the money you will not find a better deal. There is no way I would pay $1200 for a phone especially when I can get 90% of the way there for 5% of the cost.Mot has really done a great job. I hope they keep up the great work because we need solid, good performing phones at this cost level.If you want a phone that just works and does so very well and don’t care about fashion, get this.

   Great for the price.
   I picked this phone specifically because, aside from needing a replacement for my broken phone, I wanted a stylus phone to play stuff on a DS emulator (and 3DS emulator but I can’t find any settings other than downscaling it into ugly mode to get a good frame rate, but I wasn’t really expecting that capability for this price.) for those that don’t know, you need a pressure stylus to get good accuracy as that’s what the DS uses, whereas third party phone stylus…es? Styli? Not sure the plural for that. But they are just rubber bumps at the end that mimic the capacitor touch of a finger. Been playing Trauma Center and the accuracy is nearly perfect, and what imperfections there are might be down to the game or emulator rather than the phone. My only real complaint, and an issue I’ve never really had before even on cheaper phones, is that it starts to lag as I type long blocks of text. Eventually being nearly unusable. I bypass this by just copypasting my current text into a notepad document each time the lag starts and then pasting the lot of it back when I’m done (had to do that once while typing this review) so I’m not sure what’s up there. Otherwise great phone. Waited a few months to write review since it is refurbished and wanted to give it time.

   Great Value and Performs Well
   I got this one for the family to replace a basic flip phone. I use the POWER version of this phone myself and had confidence that it would be a good upgrade from a basic as a first smart phone.It is an EXCELLENT choice as the screen is large and you can configure everything so as not to be too confusing for a non tecchie. The phone call performance is excellent with good sound quality in both directions. This is NOT the fastest phone or one that has a lot of storage or memory…but I knew that going in and I can always add a big microSD if she ever needs more than is included as there is a single slot for one right next to the sim card in the pop out drawer,This one worked perfectly moving the Sim Card from a T Moble account phone and because the PRIOR phone was a BASIC phone…the numbers/contacts did NOT move over or download by themselves as they WILL if you are moving from a smart phone. I had to first EXPORT the contacts to the BASIC phone SIM card before moving the card to the new Moto Pur. Lots of easy videos on this 2 minute job on line.Once I did that…all was well after allowing some time to load up, We got a nice leatherette billfold type case for this and we have a happy family member. I really don’t think there is a better smart phone in this price range and the camera is WAY better than you might think…I think they measure the single lens rather than adding up all separate lenses…NOT the STATE of the ART camera in a $1k phone but Really nice quality at 1/10th the price! If you want more power and storage and camera…get the power version for 100 bucks more…but in the meantime…if you’re needs and your budget are not as great…the Pur is an excellent choice.

   This product when I purchased it was described as new and unlocked. Upon arrival, the device had been opened, as the cardboard tear strip was removed and the box was taped closed. Attempting to set up the device was finnicky, and now I know its due to there being apps from three different carriers pre-loaded onto the device. AT&T, Verizon, and Cricket. All three of these providers are not prominent or even available where I live, and upon attempting to remove the apps by enabling developer settings and debug tools, I found that the developer settings had already been enabled. This, along with a dead battery on arrival, indicated to me that the device had been tampered with as well as its packaging. Don’t get your hopes up about being able to clean it up yourself either, all attempts to remove the pre-loaded bloatware bricks the device and requires a full factory reset. Buy the device from Motorola, and get a good phone.

   This phone had been opened and the stylus was missing and the instructions were not inside. I tried to get help from both the provider and Motorola and neither did anything. Not very happy.
