This was a pretty good phone back in the day. I took a lot of photos with it. The laser focusing was actually quite nice. I owned 3 of these phones. They all eventually succumbed to screen breakage. Not any fault of their own. The battery life was nice.

    Since then I have upgraded to using an unrestricted unix based distribution on it.

    So even to this day it's good with PostMarketOS. Unfortunately, there are issues having an external monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc, to make it into a nice little portable basic work machine.

        Matty86, 11 Dec 2019This is a great device for old people.What??? Speak louder! I can't hear you.

          I had this phone for quite a while. Motorola only updated this thing to Android 8.1, but LineageOS brings it up to Android 10 and it has more recent security updates! It's way faster than stock and passes all the safetynet checks too.

          If you're still using one of these, I HIGHLY recommend making a backup of your stuff and installing LineageOS from xda develpors.

When phone call comes in the screen doesnt light up to see who is calling until they hang up, but not every call. Very frustrating. Only phone we have had like this. Our friend bought same phone 2 weeks after we did and is having same issues. What the heck is going on?

                        My Moto E5 is running Android 8.1.0. Not quite as cool as Android 11 but it works for me :)

                                Used to have this phone, would recommend it if you don't want to use it for gaming.

                                    If you're looking for a cheap phone, this is it but It kicks me out of apps I would not recommend this phone unless you're looking for a phone to work properly for a couple months other than that it's pretty crap

                                        My friend has this for model for ~1,5 year (retail eu). For a basic phone it‘s good enough. Zero problems. Display is even without scratch – he didn't buy tempered glass.
                                        Phone had two years of security updates exactly as promised i.e. the last update was for May 2020.
