Such a big disapointment. I gave Motorola a second chance buyng Moto Z. My very first disapointment was the Moto Razr, the phone presented failure in the speaker with 2 month of use. Now the battery drain issue on Moto Z blowed up my mind. I will never buy Motorola or Lenovo once again.

      Brenda, 19 Jul 2018Do not purchase this phone or any other phone from the Moto... moreWE had the same issue with my husband's phone. We went back to Verizon and they replaced it for free since it was a manufacturing issue. In a year and a half they have sent us a total of 4 or 5 phones. The part that really makes me mad is that they won't let us trade it in or anuthing we still owe the contract. We have to factory reset it all the time and send it back for another. Now it's starting to take a really long time to charge and we are going to have to spend another hour and a half on the phone.

        Do not purchase this phone or any other phone from the Motorola manufacturer. I purchased the Moto Z from Verizon a couple of years ago. It worked ok for over a year but then stopped charging. Since you can't get to the battery without breaking the glass, I called Motorola to see if I could purchase a phone directly from them since I didn't want to have another contract with Verizon and planned to just change the sims card and then when my contract was up with Verizon I could go somewhere else. Motorola cost for a new phone was $150 so I thought it was a great deal and I paid it. These are not new phones, they are refurbished and simply don't work. The first problem was the phone would not charge so I sent it back, got another one that had the same problem and I was sending it back but I dropped it and broke the glass. I called Motorola to see if they could work with me on this since I had spent over 3 weeks working with them trying to get a phone that worked. They finally said they would give me a 25% discount but that was all they could do. I explained that I wasn't paying any more money for phones that don't work and I had paid for a NEW phone but they were sending refurbished. Motorola would not offer any other solution and I could tell by talking to their support team that they knew this phone was no good.

            Had Moto z for one and a half years. Loved until it broke. Bought through Verizon. Neither Motorola or Verizon will do anything about it. Had it to two repair shops and they say it is the motherboard. Motorola techs keep having me turn it off and reboot it and blah blah blah nothing works and they won't stand behind their product.

              I bought my son a moto z two years ago for Christmas. We went through 3 incidents of green screen or other screen problems. Motorola changed out the first three because they were still under a year but then on the 4th one they refused. Wanted $150 to replace a phone that has been nothing but trouble. I would not recommend this phone and would go as far as to say I will not buy another Motorola phone. I have owned Motorola phones since the first Droid came out and always defended them against the Apple. If I knew how to contact the Head of Motorola I would. I am furious and no longer a Motorola fan.

                Bought this model in April and I'm absolutely happy with it.
                Fast, good screen, 32 GB works for me.
                Found a bargain on ebay for battery mod and JBL speaker (also with battery). Lasts now 3 days and recharging is incredibly fast.
                Can be unlocked and first thing I did was install LineageOS 15.1 = Oreo 8.1 with monthly security updates.

                        Anonymous, 11 May 2018Never again a Motorola. Thank you Lenovo for the distractio... moreA few years ago, I knew a couple of people who had Motorola phones. They seemed to be a good quality phone. I have always wanted to own a Motorola phone. I don't need the top-of-the-line iphone or Samsung phone, for me, as long as it takes decent pics, and is able to do everything else, Wi-Fi, bluetooth, and has good call quality.

                        Looking around, it seems that the Moto Z has now dropped to $299 as of the end of June 2018. But, it's a 2 year old phone, and I see constant reviews that complain that the battery life is so poor with Oreo, and many complaints about Wi-fi.

                        Reading your review alone, after seeing dozens of other negative reviews, has convinced me that although the Moto Z is now much more affordable, if I purchased this phone, I probably would regret it with all the issues I might have to deal with. I am going to save up some money and go for something else, maybe one of the Google Pixels, or possibly OnePlus.

                        And by the way, if I did buy the Moto z, I have zero interest in ever buying any of the Moto Mods. The battery pack is a nice idea, but if Motorola had put a decent size battery in the Moto Z, then people would not need to buy an extra battery pack.

                            I love(d) my Moto Z, right up until the battery started draining insanely fast, and switching off when it said anywhere from 15-30%.

                            I guess that might have started with the 'Oreo' update.

                              I bought one moto a year ago.i regret i bought it
                              3 months after I received the phone, there was a bluetooth connection problem and now there was a wifi connection problem. I can not connect internet with an wifi and the phone is closing and opening itself. Stay away from moto and do not waste your money

                                      I was one the first buyers along with the camera attachment... bought it in March 2017... within 4 months the battery started loosing charge. Service centre was not at all helpful and they reported it as a water damage problem, while this was not the issue at all. They delayed the solution till the warranty got over and the latest they have told me that the case is closed and I should get the phone repaired on payment. I am truly dissatisfied with this kind of treatment to the client by a reputed company like MOTOROLA, will advise all my friends and family not buy their products.
