AnonymousMSF, 05 Mar 2021advantages of having this phone,
(1) good battery life, la... moreIT´s easy to criticize a lowe budget phone ....
1) super waste of money because this phone lags a lot, even with the 4GB of RAM
which apps do you use? If you´re expecting top notch perfomance for gaming from a 632......soul I state the obvious?!!!
(2) most of the time, flashlight does not work
If you don´t have moto actions , of course it doesn´t work, you´ll have to activate manually on settings, i´m sure it will work that way
(3) poor camera shots as well as the rough picture quality
It´s a low budget phone, again, what were you expecting ??! I´m sure the competion does the same....
(4) screen is blue-and-blurry and resolution is quite dull with poor brightness
Easy, just go to setting , screen, night light on that it will set the screen temperature a little warmer..
(5) deletes FOLDERS / DATA / ANY RECORDS from the MicroSD without any hint
Have you consider that the micro SD card has issues?
(6) phone automatically restarts / turns off itself, during normal use or a phone call
Perhaps in your pocket because if you press power button longer than 10 sec, it will restart your phone. During calls i find that hard to believe unless you let your battery drain completely.
(7) apps like ShareIT/ShareME fails to be operated, when these apps are about to be used, the phone automatically turns off / restarts itself
Maybe the app needs to be updated or it simply does´nt work for this model. Try a different app or simply use near by, included on android 10 to share content with other android phones near you, it´s under network/connectivity settings.
Again not defending this phone, but at least you could be fair , it´s a low budget devices, you should moderate your expectations when buying this type of product.

advantages of having this phone,
(1) good battery life, lasts upto a day with heavy usage
(2) does not gets heated-up easily, even with heavy use
(3) fast-charging is not that bad
disadvantages of having this phone,
(1) super waste of money because this phone lags a lot, even with the 4GB of RAM
(2) most of the time, flashlight does not work
(3) poor camera shots as well as the rough picture quality
(4) screen is blue-and-blurry and resolution is quite dull with poor brightness
(5) deletes FOLDERS / DATA / ANY RECORDS from the MicroSD without any hint
(6) phone automatically restarts / turns off itself, during normal use or a phone call
(7) apps like ShareIT/ShareME fails to be operated, when these apps are about to be used, the phone automatically turns off / restarts itself
conclusion: simply a waste by the services except good battery life. never thought, brand like MOTOROLA will bring such a waste phone ever, it would be far better to get shut like other branded mobile producers instead of being a waste over its past reputation-and-fame

Minimal features and slightly below average performance.
It's been going through slow patches recently, where for about 5-10 min it barely works. I still have over 18 GB of free space, that's more than my old phone had in total. Maybe its an app I have downloaded, or the way I use it.
I wont say this is a definite no-buy, but its not for everyone, its not for me.

I've had this phone for a couple of months now. It has everything I need:
- Under very heavy and continuous usage, the phone can last up to 7 hours. But under normal (light to moderate usage) it can last anywhere from 40 to 52 hours without needing any charge (may be even more, as I have never let the battery drain below 13%).
- More than decent performance for everyday tasks (WhatsApp, Web browsing, light gaming - I play chess online, Microsoft Wordament, and Tetris, navigating with GPS, streaming video at 1K resolution and such). By the way, I don't know what's that complaint about not being able to take WhatsApp calls all about. I've never had any issues.
- More than enough RAM. At idle, the phone will be using 1.3 to 1.4 Gb and have about 2.3 to 2.4 Gb free. The rest is video memory. Switching between apps while multitasking, this phone has nothing to envy my wife's and stepdaughter's flagship phones.
- Cameras and screen are OK, I'd say a little better than average.
It's obviously not a power house but it has decent performance. Antutu v8 score with Android 10 is 116,400. The top feature is its battery life, the best that you can get at this price point.
